I’ve bought some refurbished 1l PCs in places where others might have bought RPi. Drawbacks are more energy consumption and, generally, no GPIO (at least built-in). Also bigger in size. I have one Lenovo M600 which has four serial ports (DB9) and one parallel port (DB25) on some kind of extension module. Because of the module it also has more space for cooler, thus making it passively cooled.

Fast it ain’t, but does fit the bill.

Yeah. I wonder if youngsters of this day get this at all.

Good joke none the less. 😀

Yay! Wayfire.

Been using Wayfire for quite some time now. I’m tempted to test out xfce.

Dang it!

I fell for it.

And around 20 years ago I did go all-in Linux.

Sure. I’ve been warned now.

• cheap to manufacture
• has high efficacy
• gears wear out relatively fast (debatable)
• • … so they can sell you spare parts

I had the same message displayed.

But do I really want to see an animated nazi salute?

Subbed right away. Thanks.

That was in 2004. So yeah, it went well, as I’m still running Gentoo.

The installation went ok, but it took ages. I had Compaq Armada E500: Single core 900MHz Pentium III and 256MB of RAM. I had help from my friend who explained in detail what we were doing and why during the installation process.

Next time I needed to install Gentoo I did it by my self. I had the Gentoo Handbook open on other machine and I followed it carefully. I was surprised by how smoothly the install went.

Few weeks ago I once again installed Gentoo onto a new machine. 36-cores (two Xeons) and 256GB of RAM. It’s always funny to compare how much more powerful my newest machine is compared to my first Gentoo machine. ;)

Oh and welcome to Gentoo. ;) If you need any help the forums are a great place to ask.

P.S.: A great username btw. 😁

And I started with Gentoo…

Wrapper?

Wrapper to what?

It’s supposed to be more strict about standards… and maybe lighter in resources. I’ve been only testing it. Curiosity driven choice. 😉

Gentoo user here too. I once switched to systemd, but didn’t stay using it for too long. Back then some things didn’t work with systemd. Nowdays my systems use seatd instead of logind or elogind. Some have musl toolchain. It’s just simpler, currently, for me to use OpenRC on all of my setups. But the thing I most disliked with systemd was that it cannot work without journald.

Just settle with Gentoo, like I have since 2004. No need for switching. 😇

So… are you saying the contents of /home/user/folderApple-original really changes after you bindmount something over /home/user/folderApple? This seems odd. Do you have submounts under the original directory? Try with --rbind?

You need to

sudo mount --bind "/home/user/folderApple" "/home/user/folderApple-original"

before you

sudo mount --bind "/mnt/drive/folderBanana" "/home/user/folderApple".

D’oh!

This joke is getting old.

Oh well… I’m still laughing to AYBATU jokes, so…

It is Firefox, in that sense it’s not a hard fork, but it follows upstream. ;)
