You misunderstood. The configuration is one time. Updates and patches gets configured according to your configuration.

FYI, The updates you get are also pre-compiled by the distro team, and are compiled with generic flag to ensure compatibility.

Annoy is completely the wrong term. You're getting to control over what is to be built and what's not, and since softwares are compiled and optimised according to my hardware, they are lighter and faster with less attack surface.

That may sound cumbersome for a novice to setup the portage configuration but in return it is really worth the time, and it is usually one time, unless you plan to add or remove features. But once you're satisfied with your configuration, you don't have to look back at it.

I found YouTubers complaining about going through hour long upgrade on the daily bases very misleading. Only a few core packages can take that long, which are upgraded on a quarterly bases.

Wait did you seriously called it a hype? Before switching to Gentoo, I was using Arch, softwares have better support of eachother and if feature isn't working you can always talk with the dev how to resolve it. They might even look into modifying the ebuilds to make them compatible.

FYI, I never came across any breakage and I've been using Gentoo for about an year now.

I don't know how to do it with systemd.automount but I've been using udisks to define defaults for mounting BTRFS: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Udisks#Default_mount_options

Seriously I can't help it to see it in any other way. At the least I'm trying my best to not to be the part of it.

But it is really tough to live with a conscious.

...and if some post had an intent to bring up some critical thinking but firesback, leading the whole group of community spamming arrogant comments on your other post?

 

So that other won't go through your post and start messing with your engagement.

 

Privacy is assaulted in broad daylight and everything we do is recorded with an unforgiving permanence. We trade away our private data for services and conveniences -- not realizing that the government has become party to every agreement we enter into. Due to the 3rd-Party Doctrine, we have no reasonable expectation of privacy in the digital age. The government uses this loophole to purchase data from brokers, completely evading the boundaries established by the 4th amendment.

This invasion into our lives has become completely normalized.

Even if we don't value privacy ourselves, by not standing up for privacy we actually hurt the most vulnerable in society.

In this video I talk about the very real horrors that have occurred throughout history when surveillance becomes a tool for oppression, stripping away the freedoms of the people, and changing the fabric of society. I explain why this is where we are heading. I also explain some simple steps you can take TODAY tell you what steps you can take TODAY to protect yourself.

 

Linux users brag about all the choice they have, but most of those choices are just flat out bad. This might anger old fogies.

 

Since comments/posts are not deleted from an instance, is there a tool for editing posts and comments to null and delete them?

 

I have disabled it for myself but want to know what others have experienced.
