I wrote "nearly everything"
because for some particularly painful compilations
you can instead use
a pre-compiled binary package.

The tradeoffs:
- Might not be as optimized as it could be
- Might force you to add some USE flags you don't want

#GentooLinux

Atop the same SSH session
other protocols may run.

For example:
- Port forwarding / tunneling protocol
- SFTP protocol
- X11 Forwarding protocol
- SSH Agen protocol
- etc.

All using one single TCP connection to port 22.

Hence is why SSH is a #SessionLayer protocol.

#Networking #OSILayers

My favorite #Linux distro

The (selfish) reason being:

In my company's server, I cannot guarantee Python is installed.
But I can guarantee SaltStack is installed.

So some sysadmin-ish scripts I write, all simply leverage the Python already in /opt/salt

I hope support for whatever version of Python bundled in SaltStack, can be guaranteed.

(Though, tbt, SaltStack currently bundles Python 3.10 so supporting only double-digit versions are [still] okay [for now])

We -- that is, humans -- can store energy in different forms:

- As voltage difference
- As chemical reactions
- As gravitic potential energy
- As heat

The Earth has only one easy way store energy:
As heat in the atmosphere.

And this heat
drives the Climate Machine.

One important thing to emphasize
is that USE flags of #GentooLinux really help
in ensuring that packages work well
with other packages.

Remove all unnecessary cruft
and all dependent packages
will just adapt.

Something that other
binary-based distro
might not be able to do.

#Gentoo #Linux

#GentooLinux empowers you.

You no longer have to subscribe fully
to the opinions of the package maintainer(s).
Add/remove features as you want.

Gentoo Linux keeps your system stable.

USE flags ensure
that packages 'know' how to work with
other packages
or how they *won't* work.

#Gentoo #Linux

And even if a package refuses to compile
#Portage will tell why.

Usually it's because of a missing
or incompatible
USE flag.

You have transparency on what the blocker is
and agency on whether to "fix" the blocker
or find a different package.

#Gentoo #GentooLinux #Linux

I refuse to confirm or deny this allegation.

tbt,
#Gentoo installs are often
more stable than #Arch

because every single component
are compiled to work together
according to USE flags.

no such thing as a package
requiring something that a different package
does not provide
because of maintainer preferences.

And he has now declared that Bcachefs code will be gone from Kernel 6.18.
