@graf your gentoo looks broken

graf, 2 months ago

@birdulon I was just testing for POST before tearing it down and voiding the warranty

@graf shit this just reminded me of the ASRockInd mini that was sold as barebones (no RAM no SSD) and arrived with fucking blue loctite on the case screws, I nearly stripped the heads opening it up

@birdulon lucked out

@graf @birdulon I always wondered how noisy those mini pc's can be. I got a mac mini, and it was way too expensive for what it does so I'll be looking at alternatives next time. It's silent af, though.

graf, 2 months ago

@Sal_Equis @birdulon booted into windows to check POST it was silent but without fan control configured in Linux it's noticeable

graf, 2 months ago

@Sal_Equis @birdulon compiling with -j16 the fans get definitely noticeable but it's not bad

graf, 2 months ago

@Sal_Equis @birdulon booted into gentoo and it's silent so, 8/10

@graf @Sal_Equis @birdulon I tried redcore (gentoo) on an imac a while back but it still wanted to compile updates from source. It was running for two days straight. I want to try gentoo but I don't want to be perpetually compiling from source all the time.

@ExtraSpecialK @Sal_Equis @graf @birdulon Run a lean system and don't use a potato processor. My very old Ryzen 1600 can recompile the whole system overnight, except fucking chromium which takes another 10 by itself.

@gentoobro @ExtraSpecialK @Sal_Equis @birdulon there's the option to use binary distribution now so there's no compiling (cringe)

@graf @gentoobro @ExtraSpecialK @Sal_Equis @birdulon Are we a Linux respecting instance? It would go well with the Anime.

graf, 2 months ago

@brokenshakles @gentoobro @ExtraSpecialK @Sal_Equis @birdulon yes. poast runs on gentoo both the web and database server

@graf @ExtraSpecialK @Sal_Equis @brokenshakles @birdulon Gentoo is the only distro that works reliably. It's also the only one without systemd that actually gets maintained.

@gentoobro @Sal_Equis @brokenshakles @graf @birdulon No, alpine Linux is a great sever distro and it uses OpenRC.

@ExtraSpecialK @gentoobro @Sal_Equis @birdulon @brokenshakles btrfly host servers run alpine

@ExtraSpecialK @gentoobro @Sal_Equis @birdulon @brokenshakles basically what im saying is TSDD

@graf @gentoobro @ExtraSpecialK @Sal_Equis every time I hear gentoo binary distribution I will remember this guy

graf, 2 months ago

@birdulon @gentoobro @ExtraSpecialK @Sal_Equis im still spooked about that. i keep forgetting hardware to check

graf, 2 months ago

@birdulon about to button up and check POST

graf, 2 months ago

@birdulon LFG status: ✅

@birdulon I have this up on OBS since I didnt bring my portable monitor. maybe i should stream the gentoo install

@graf @birdulon Bet you extract stage 3 tar balls in your sleep.

graf, 2 months ago

@KnifeEar @birdulon depends, I have a stage 4 for all our KVM Edge hardware since the config is all identical except for network and server name etc

graf, 2 months ago

@KnifeEar @birdulon alright lets go

graf, 2 months ago
