i opened reddit again today because silksong is finally out. went to see how the subreddit is going. (sadly, the silksong communities here are rather sane. r/silksong is still about 40-50% insane, but more sane posts are coming in)

front page is r/nextfuckinglevel. guy chopping wood uses a tire to keep the log upright to chop the wood easier.

i remember making a reddit acount because r/fiftyfifty and r/watchpeopledie. now its just advertiser friendly r/mildlyinteresting at best making the front page.

It appears to be a serious video too. Lost brain cells watching it, so I don't reccomend

Cant wait for the day I can delete Discord and never look back.

1hr+ for a general update* (following the guide. Pre-kernel)

On a more serious note, gentoo is fun... On competent hardware. This is a 4 core Celeron N2940 with 4gb of RAM.

*emerge --ask --verbose --update --deep --changed-use @world is too long to type...

On the one hand, my father lost his dad when he was 12, so he is not perfect. I want to assume he is atleast trying his best. But this past year, "his best" was "OK with punching his children" and as far as I know, hasnt seen his grand children. (My sister has a kid. Living happy with her partner. Since sister and partner is not married, my dad doesnt acknowlege them.)

Im OK with skipping the birthday text to father, but mother (who i still talk to) insist i send the text.

Im following the handbook, and I'm up to configuring the kernel. (In a vm. Skipping the optional installing firmware/microcode for now)

Trying for an OpenRC system, but it looks like all the steps need systemd.

All the videos I watched seems to skip this step and just go to Kernel configuration and compilation, but I dont want to a) mix old videos and up-to-date handbook, and b) blindly copy commands. I understood mostly everything untill now. Just this kernel step where I got lost the first time I tried to install gentoo.

Younger brother asking how to get earn minecoins. You cant. Have to buy them. That dissapointment in his voice. The heart break i feel as the older brother.

Cant imagine on christmas, parenta go all in on the new system and popular game, then to realise that thier child cant have the max amount of fun* without paying extra.

On a more serious note, how does updating apps on gentoo work? I understand that everything is built on your system, but then if the app is updated, do you need to re-compile every time?

Daily drive a Pixel 7 Pro with GrapheneOS. Does 90% of my daily needs while use my PC for the last 10%. Planned to use a spare phone with Stock Android for my holiday. Pixel 7 SIM card tray broke inside the phone. I love the Pixel software features, but with this, fingerprint issues and past battery issues, i dont know if i want another pixel phone after this

Too embarassed to tell anyone I know IRL, but am excited for my new future. Been throwing alot of money with small things. PC, alcohol, movies (and im ashamed to say, funko pops). Recently i took the plunge and cut out alcohol in an attempt to get my life together, and i feel like i have a whole new start.
