Try "ip link del veth..." to delete unused virtual interfaces. Not sure about libvirt itself, I just run qemu and NAT directly most of the time.
Gentoo is only really good for at least moderately performant PC's. I would say if you want to not take forever installing things 8 threads minimum which is what I use for mine.
Depends on what you want to install. I wouldn't want to build current firefox on a computer from 2004 but with a lightweight install (some window manager, X, some light programs) gentoo would even run well enough on old computers. There's also always the possibility for distcc or just build binary packages somewhere else.
ATI in general. Back then, "modern" (for the time) gpus didn't work well in general. A lot of that code was just abandoned in that state as people moved on to better things. '00s linux hardware support was iffy. You used to check if the hardware you wanted to buy was actually supported by linux. It was not a given. I'd also try *BSDs for that vintage. They didn't support old hardware better around that time but they tended to work support in later and less just completely abandon it for the benefit of the newest shiny. That said, I would not be too upset about losing hardware acceleration on systems of that vintage. You're not going to do anything 3D on them in Linux and it might actually not that big an improvement to have X hardware acceleration support on the resolutions these systems usually drive. A CPU-driven framebuffer might actually end up being the same in speed after all is said and done. I mean what are you planning to do? You're not gonna watch 4k youtube videos on that thing and the hardware acceleration that chipset offers is not gonna help you if you try it.
The solution is to cross-compile (If you are shooting for max efficentcy like embedded) setup via crossdev and binary packages you self built... The issue with this is that it still requires a decent computer to compile on and crossdev is not entirely for beginners. Don't forget you're going to be crossdeving into a different architecture from (most likely x86_64 to i386). It's better than the older days of voodoo black magic crossdev though.
Reminds me of Linus (tech tips) being retarded and telling PopOS to remove his entire desktop environment even though it essentially told him "this will break your system"
to be even fairer, it's not like he knew what each package does, dude has mained windows for years (like many).
Why? It's not like they'll find him outside.
Probably configured a network. Then ran a DNS server or something.
That makes sense, I'm already running dnsmasq on the server, and it points to itself for the primary DNS.
I have the opposite problem when I was running Debian ARM on qemu. The installer really liked to warn me that I should pick a bootloader.
I am, and it spoiled me. I can't use other distros now without portage. I hate systemd, gentoo does a fine job of managing it.
__SCRATCHDIR="/mnt/some/dir"
DISTDIR="${__SCRATCHDIR}/portage/distfiles"
PKGDIR="${__SCRATCHDIR}/portage/packages"
PORTAGE_TMPDIR="${__SCRATCHDIR}/portage"What this suggests to me is that somewhere in your container stack, MAC randomization is on. Turn that off (or gen a few fixed MACs) for your interfaces and the interface bloat may clean up
Gentoo is pretty nice once you really get the idea of using use flags it does things that would be a lot harder to do on other distros. I still use arch though. On the 2 laptops I use I have an arch SSD and a Gentoo SSD and switch between them.
Hi hi hi!
