@fakemetrotrains.bsky.social it's a pity the unfake version isn't here. I'd like to message them but can't because #elon.

Got #LinuxFromScratch 12 working on #M1 based #MacbookAir with #Fusion. Only trick is some source tries to install under /usr/lib64 not /usr/lib (libffi). This breaks meson and #python.

And this is why I hate Debian based package management. What's wrong with just having 2 commands - "rpm and yum"?

I don't care if apt has super-cow powers, but being API stable seems more important.

#Debian
#dpkg
#apt

Quite often devices (cough Netflix cough), ignore DHCP provided DNS servers.

This is what I do to intercept DNS and send it to my PiHole.

Regarding the WebP vulnerability (libwebp).

One of the nice things you can do is a single command which lists which binaries have that library mapped into memory.

# grep -l libwebp /proc/*/map

Eg NGINX will show up as using it, even though it's pulled in through /usr/lib64/nginx/modules

In my day, the kernel occupied block 0 on a 720kb floppy disk, and *was* the bootloader.

I am that old.

#HJ Lu's #BootRoot #Linux.

I am very impressed with type(), dir(), inspect and rlcompleter modules in #python. Makes the language easy to work with.
