@Mikelius @pixeldaemon Far as “keeping it updated” you shouldn’t ever run into dep issues if you stick to the stable branch without loads of overlays. I regularly go years 😆 (at least months) between updates without issue.

@StrawberryPigtails @pixeldaemon Round that time, I remember the goto advice was to use whatever #systemrescuecd you had layin around; they were gentoo discs back then, always worked a charm.

@pixeldaemon You always install gentoo from an “already working” system. Basically, all yer gonna do is partition/format the drive, explode the file system to it, and chroot over to set shit up. You can easily build gentoo on an external drive on one (more powerful) computer, and throw it in the one it’s for when yer done. This is a very common way of installing it on an SBC.

@pixeldaemon As a 20+ year gentoo user, I often point people to the handbook as a tool for helping them to gain a solid understanding of linux. The way I recommend you go about it is to first read through the entire handbook and (most importantly) go read about each thing you encounter in it that you don’t understand. Once you think you somewhat have a grasp of why each step is in there, start running through an install. Only use prebuilt kernels for now (ever really), there is no need to build one yourself unless you need something specific. Don’t worry about fuck ups, just keep going till you get through it, you’ll learn what you did wrong as you progress. Once you’ve made it as far as a functional desktop, rinse and repeat until you find yourself only referencing the handbook for verification, not reading it, then move on to learning about portage.

@non_burglar @digitalRights4All In case you weren’t aware, everything from the crosspost shows as intended in Friendica, same (formatting aside) as I see it if I go to the lemmy.zip post.

Really cool project too!! I’ve wanted for quite some time to build one that mounts on my arm like in the later episodes of Chuck. I was thinking of runing #postmarketOS on mine though.

Hope ye stick with it, this is what it’s all about.

Never messed with #WSL, does it give you the capability run a full-on WM the way we could with #cygwin? I used to use it to run #enlightenment on my #Windows computer at work.

🤔 Is talking shit about a bigot for their bigoty ways not bigotry itself?

@asdasd201 Sounds to me like yer gonna do just fine. 🤘

@asdasd201 The sad reality is that you will likely have no choice but to use AutoCAD since that’s what your instructor wants you to use. Even if you are able to use something free/open, there is always a chance that something in the file will render incorrectly when loaded into AutoCAD.

The best thing (I think) you could do is do the assignment in both #AutoCAD, and #CAD software of your choosing be that #FreeCAD, #QCAD, #blender, #LibreCAD, or something else with which I’m unfamiliar. After class, speak with your instructor and teach them that these things can be done using #FOSS solutions as well, could be they don’t even know. Worst that happens is you’ll have taught yourself how to do the same thing in different software. Everything that was taught (that I can recall) in the #drafting classes I took 30 years ago can be done in any of the softwares I mentioned, but I’m sure things are a bit different these days.

It’s quite irresponsible of educational institutions to push students into specific software, versus teaching concepts which can be translated across multiple. Teaching students only about expensive licenced software (regardless of providing free student licences) over the concepts used to accomplish the task, promotes ignorance over education, and encourages software pirating.

Never tried it, but couldn’t you set normalization in mpv.conf? The android version does allow you to add your configs there.

@Geodes_n_Gems 良かった! Glad you found somethin that works fer ye!

@Geodes_n_Gems
#ibus #anthy is always a solid choice, that’s what I’ve used for years. If for some reason you can’t use ibus, #scim had been my goto for the past couple decades.

these days I’ve been using #fcitx5 with #mozc on #hyprland and find it quite nice, feels very familiar.

@Twakyr YES, I completely forgot about that, thank you @nyan! Definitely install equery, this is an invaluable tool.

@Twakyr I’ve been a hardcore gentoo user/fan for 20+ years, I thought I’d never be able to use anything else till I started playing with Nix this year. The granular configurability of each individual package has yet been unmatched for me in any other distro till Nix. For #gentoo though, I’d highly recommend taking great care in tailoring your /etc/portage/make.conf, setup /etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf with sync-type = git, and use /etc/portage/package.{use,mask,unmask,accept_keywords} as directories for individual packages. I tend to keep a /etc/portage/package.mask/failed file for upgrade blockages fer me to unfuck after a emerge -avuDUN @world succeeds.

@communist @null_dot Hyprland has the screenshotting functionality builtin.

@BCsven
This is so much less helpful than just posting “I don’t know” or “beats me”.

First, if you’re gonna post code, put it in a code block. And nevermind you not knowing if the ““code is good””, it doesn’t even adhere to the question that was asked; the two programs you suggested are not even wayland compatible tools.
@null_dot

@null_dot
Haven’t ever done this in wayland, but in X, I always used to xdotool to grab the title of the active window. I’d guess you could do the same using one of the wayland alternatives like ydotool, wlrctl, dotool, or whatever else is out there. And something like grim to grab an image of the window.

@hexa @dontblink Thank you! Didn’t notice I grabbed the wrong bookmark.

@dontblink @Max_P I retract my “ideal” statement; this is the way to do it.

@dontblink I’d think #NixOS would be ideal for this task. As for hardware, any of the SBCs listed on their ARM page should do.
