It sounds like it, given the color coding of his avatar.
I'd rather be gay than an autistic loony troon.
Quit staring at the void and touch some grass friend.
To be fair, nobody pretends LFS is actually a practical "distro", it's more a way to learn how Linux (and operating systems in general) work on a much deeper level than you'd get anywhere else. It's basically just a bunch of documentation.
imo the end game of fully building LFS is to hook it into a package manager for Debian or RedHat or Arch, after which the packages will slowly get replaced until it's no different than if you just installed a prebuilt distro.
I do. Every fucking 3 months I do. Manually because I use a niche DNS server that none of their clients support. And then I do it again for my VPN hosts DNS web interface because I'm not renting a second machine/ip just for secondary DNS. And then I cut and paste random bits of text into a pem file until I have something Hiawatha recognises because it only works when the private and public key are in the same file and no-one bothers to document what that looks like or in which order and the whole time I'm waiting for letsencrypt to make this ordeal even more frequent than 3 months because some absolute mongoloids managed to automate it on their goyslop server so "automation is possible" for everyone.
following instructions on how to build your own linux system is cringe.
Only if you want it. Unlike an rpm based distro you can also install a text editor without pulling in an X server and desktop environment as dependencies. Deb based systems tend to be slightly less retarded in this respect but are prone to fucking up their db and leaving your package management in a completely unusable state, much like a Gentoo system that has been synced in the last 10 minutes.
Remember that part where I said I do the DNS a second time on my hosts web interface because I'm using it as secondary DNS? That's why.
Okay... and? you're using something so shitty they don't have an api? you can't scrapechad your way into automating it? google cloud dns is very very cheap, highly available, and the module already exists! your time is more valuable than this, morto di figa.
I agree which is why I'm so intrigued by the possibility of clicking a button on the CloudFlare site before I go the scrapechad route or pester support for an API which was on my todo list. I'll look into Google DNS but for personal and political reasons I'm even more loathe to give google money than taking something from CloudFlare for free.
the pinephones are complete trash but everything works. my oneplus 6 has postmarketos, runs smooth but sms and calling dont work. firefox is pretty much the desktop version with some tweaks and the usability is trash.
...aren't those like the core functions of a phone?
Install them on separate drives. When installing one make sure the other drive is unplugged so they don't interfere with each other's efi partitions and bootloaders.
Actually I'm all for something that works out of the box if only so I can watch YouTube videos while I build an unusable piece of autistic shit in a chroot but Debian ain't it. Debian only works until something goes wrong then you need more expertise than you would with a DIY distro. Need to recompile your mail server with a custom patch? Good luck turning that into a Deb file that the package manager will recognise. Want to add something spiffy to a config file that you found in the package docs? Good luck finding it, it's been moved to a random location and replaced with an over complicated mess of spaghetti scripts recursively calling each other. Actually most distros other than slackware have this cancer. And if the power cuts off in the middle of an apt operation leaving your system in an unusable state that's your fault for not adding maintenance of your own power generator to your skillset rather than debian developers not knowing how to write defensive code.
I carefully hid that information in the first sentence of my post. As debian user you're not used to seeing information where it's supposed to be so I forgive you.
nigger did you read the post i was replying to? i confirmed that YES LINUX PHONE SHIT IS TRASH. go back to your nigger linux thread.
good point, that's a common beginner problem after all, you'd have to download the source package from unstable, apply the patch, and then use debuild to build your modified package. Pretty extreme stuff
Yeah, you'd have to run 'dpkg -L packagename' and then spot the place where the config file might have been mislocated by the original source package. Horrifying
This is a very unintuitive prompt, as it doesn't show you which branch these packages are from. If I didn't know steam's horrifyingly shitty dependency tree, it would look very scary. Almost all of those are most likely 32-bit packages that nothing except Steam would use in $current_year.
