Future of OSU Open Source Lab in Jeopardy

"Over the past several years, we have been operating at a deficit due to a decline in corporate donations" ... "recent changes in university funding makes our current funding model no longer sustainable."

"Unless we secure $250,000 in committed funds, the OSL will shut down later this year."

OSL provides hosting for over 500 Free and Open Source Projects from all over the world.

Pour la première fois de ma vie, je viens de tester de revert un patch du #Kernel #Linux pour vérifier si cela règle le problème de mon partage de connexion sur USB via un Smartphone qui s’est arrêté de fonctionner en passant de la version 6.14.1 à la version 6.14.2. Je suis content d’avoir une #GentooLinux pour cela, ça a été très rapide à tester, et en attendant le correctif, je peux de nouveau utiliser cette fonctionnalité !

Nothing like trying to compile #Gentoo packages and #Windows Server 2003 using Windows 10 at the same time while listening to #Lagtrain.

It's kind of soothing watching it all come together.

One of the #Linux distributions we hear very little about in the industry for cloud/#VM usage is #GentooLinux. But that could change with the #Gentoo project now putting out official #QCOW2 disk images to make it easier deploying this source-based Linux distribution within #virtualmachines. With these QCOW2 images, the XFS file-system is their preferred choice used for its copy-on-write, reflinks, and other features.

Installing gentoo on my second laptop. I don't know why I'm like this. Going with LXDE desktop on this one.

Update on Gentoo Flatpaks causing kernel bugs:

seems like a bug with 6.13.5-gentoo-dist (and might be in upstream), as I have about 2hr runtime on 6.13.6-gentoo-dist and have done various file ops in Flatpaks with no issue

it could've been a lot worse; fsck was run at boot for the old kernel when repairing, which wasn't a great sign, but I didn't lose any data and the kernel never techincally panicked

tl;dr update your system if you have 6.13.5

#Gentoo #Linux #Flatpak #Bug #GentooLinux

"BUG: Bad page state in process"

oh dear, Gentoo Kernel 6.13.5-gentoo-dist ~amd64 is experiencing Flatpak issues again.

This isn't the latest version of gentoo-dist, so I'll upgrade and test again, but even on my fairly CPU powerful system that could take me a while since other updates must also be done. I am mildly concerned this is related to Nvidia drivers that I use for stability.

Just switched to #Portage with #Git on my #Gentoo system.

Much faster!

I may be biased, but I really think that installing Gentoo is a very valuable learning experience and every Linux user should do it at least once, even if it's in a VM.
It really makes you learn how your system works, and it's not really that much harder than installing Arch manually, it just has extra steps.

I got it! So for Artix Linux OpenRC:

rc-update add/delete <service> to enable/disable a service.

rc-service <service> start/stop to start/stop a service.

Gotcha. This will really come in handy for when I actually migrate to Gentoo and become a Gentoo citizen (just kidding lol)

Giving the Defiant (AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D, Gigabyte X570S, 64 GiB RAM) at performance test flight.

Changed MAKEOPTS from "-j8 -l8" to "-j16 -l16". That is, I've removed constraints and pu the lever on the table.

Just bought a Raspberry Pi 5 16GB. This was totally an impulse purchase 😅

Still waiting on a few accessories and a case before I will do anything with it.

I promise that this one won’t end up being a Kodi media centre like my 8GB 4b. Once I have sufficient time, first order of business will be installing Gentoo on it.

I’ll be using it as a second dev machine of sorts. It’s the perfect playground to learn Python and explore ARM development.
