only slows them down. i bet you use a passphrase like a total retard or a mere 512M RSA hash

Again you have no idea what the hell you're talking about. I don't give a shit about the government you pretentious little shit. I care if somebody steals my computer. Is it really that hard to comprehend? You should probably consider euthanasia.
>>55285942
and what do you have that's important where some random person would take your pc and steal your information.
the most you'd use in that case is an encrypted home directory. no asshat on the street would care about cracking that and just wipe your pc.
get off your high horse because you're literally a tinfoil hat nutjob

Layered security is the best security you fucking idiot
Gentoo Linux is proven to be a botnet.

If tyron can't turn on the pc he can't sell it.
If he can't format it he can't sell it
If the bios is locked down he can't sell it
We live in a world where security is mandatory, not to protect us from governments but from subhuman trashes that live almost everywhere on this planet.

There's a ton of things that I don't like about grsec but some of their patches are alright and others break Python.

Kissed my mom goodnight, got a boner.Reached for tit. DENIED!
>>55289452
Please, leave Exherbo out of this. We don't need the attention of hipster teens, thanks.
>>55289571
Nigga you have a teen girl maintainer.
>>55289452
It's just another Gentoo fork. It's not actually vanilla Gentoo.
>>55289638
But it's not a Gentoo fork, it doesn't share anything with Gentoo.
I don't know why people complain about compile times. Seems like just an excuse to me. The devs offer you some precompiled binaries and you can prepare binaries yourself as well. It's not like you have to sit there during the compilation like with Ports for BSD. Just compile in the background if your compile time is that bad. Are you trying to install Gentoo on a toaster or something? I never had more than a 30 minute compilation and that was a lot of software.
Exherbo aims to be a stable and flexible distribution for developers and tinkerers, people who need their distribution to help them be productive. Exherbo actually makes it fun for developers to develop, be it on their own code or the distribution itself. A good set of tools, clear, up-front configuration and excellent support for decentralized development make the system work for instead of against the developer. Other features that Exherbo values include:
A small core development team
A small team is one that can adapt quickly to changes and keep focus on the philosophy of Exherbo. The downside to this is that a team of ~20 cannot maintain 2000+ packages. Exherbo solves this issue by offering robust distributed repository management, opting for many small repositories that integrate seamlessly with everyday management.
Flexibility where it makes sense
Paludis can work with both source-based and binary packages on equal terms, even if there is no defined exheres-based packages for them! Finally you can get the speed of a binary distribution with the control of a source-based one.
Simple, safe account management
Safe and tracked account management, with users and groups managed by the system so you don’t have to worry about them.
Tracking unwritten packages
With the unwritten repository, packages that haven’t been made can be tracked by the distribution itself, speeding up workflow.
Alternatives
If program Y does everything X does, but better, Exherbo can use Y instead of X in all cases.
>>55289656
It may not be literally a Gentoo fork but it was inspired by Gentoo. Is there any reason you use Exherbo instead of Gentoo? I see a lot of people use Funtoo as well but they don't really seem to offer much that Gentoo doesn't already have.
>>55289742
- Truly distributed repositories and development.
- The exheres API is saner than EAPI and it's easier to write packages for it.
- Paludis is just better than Portage in every way, I was using it on Gentoo back then too.
- Multiarch is awesome compared to multilib.
- The IRC channel is full blown autism and elitism, I like that.
- There's a little girl working on the musl stages and general support with patches and whatnot for packages.
And other things that aren't coming to mind right now.
>>55289412
No everyone has a nice CPU fucc boi
>>55285968
>>55285968
You're the worst kind of trash lol
I heard Funtoo is better than Gentoo.
Meme or true story? How's the relationship of Gentoo and Funtoo?
>>55292062
It offers some 'Portage enhancements.' I'm not really sure what that entails. Funtoo is basically just a Gentoo fork. It's not vanilla Gentoo and so some of the packages might be older than what's available in Gentoo's source tree.
>>55292392
Care to share your xcolors? Love the wine red.
>>55289733
Gentoo has Paludis. I've never used it though so I'm not sure how the support it. I've never really had an issue with Gentoo that I couldn't quickly resolve so I don't know. I don't really care about who the devs are just as long as they do a good job.
These threads will always be the same

Faaaaaaaaaaaggots
>>55285968
So you don't encrypt or use hardened? If someone steals your computer they can just chroot into it
>>55292062
Improved portage mostly but it lags behind the main tree a day or so because of differently patched packages, look up "funtoo vs gentoo" because for some reason it never says it on the funtoo site
>>55286358
oh god the compile times
GENTOO UGLY LOGO LOL
>>55288274
i see nothing wrong with that, honestly. after all, we get to use it for free.
How do you set up an initramfs-less boot and why? I heard about a couple of gentoofags doing it, but never really understood the reasons behind it.
>>55297441
ive never had an initramfs on gentoo... not sure how to even go about doing it
>>55285696
>>55285696
there you go
>>55297839
And how did you set up the whole boot up procedure? What bootloader do you use?
>>55285941
I lol'd
>>55297441
If you have say dm-crypt for example then you can get kernel panic after configuring Grub. That's all it really is. Load init and fs data to memory. If you just use the default configuration for your bootloader without any parameters for lvm, crypt ect. then you shouldn't need an initramfs. You can generate one with genkernel or just make one yourself.
I picked up a server with two quad core Opterons and 24GB RAM to install Gentoo a few years ago. Never installed anything other than FreeBSD though.

>While it has been revealed before that the NSA captures just about all Internet traffic for a short time, the Tagesschau story provides new details about how the NSA's XKEYSCORE program decides which traffic to keep indefinitely. XKEYSCORE uses specific selectors to flag traffic, and the article reveals that Web searches for Tor and Tails--software I've covered here in Linux Journal that helps to protect a user's anonymity and privacy on the Internet--are among the selectors that will flag you as "extremist" and targeted for further surveillance. If you just consider how many Linux Journal readers have read our Tor and Tails coverage in the magazine, that alone would flag quite a few innocent people as extremist.

Funtoo is a project of the founding Gentoo dev, who was kicked out of the Gentoo because of dictating every development choice.
Proof enough? :^)
>>55304271
No
Get the fuck out
Someone explain to me why running startx doesn't work on gentoo after installing xorg-server, yet on Arch after installing and running startx, everything worked perfectly.
>>55285696
I have, I just don't run it because it is garbage for productivity
>>55295726
Did you cross compile everything on that?
>>55304515
But why? I primarily use Gentoo Hardened
The machine still exists as .img somewhere
>>55285913
>>Encrypted SSD
>only slows them down.
it's called hardware encryption
and even software encryption is quite fast nowadays
>>55305126
I think he meant it only slows them down because they have to crack the encryption. I get the same performance with Dm-Crypt + LVM as I did without encryption. I just use a bit mor RAM. He was just an idiot.
>>55304271
X-treme memer here.
Been doing this for years. I've probably rused more people into using Gentoo than Gentoo has.
Keep the traditions alive good Sir.
>>55305336
>Been doing this for years.
Doing what? I do actually use Gentoo, I'm just booted into Ubuntu so I can run Steam and take a break from programming
(Currently via Hexcells Infinite)
>>55305390
Why don't you just do that in Gentoo? I mean, I hate Steam but I do have it on Windows because friends and prices. I hate the software.
>>55305705
1. Most games simply crash or segfault immediately on my setup. This is due to a combination of factors, including hardening, grsec, PaX and the fact that I use a 10-bit framebuffer.
2. Isolation. I don't really want steam to be running on my main distro, simply because steam bugs can and will do shit like nuke your home folder. Putting it on a different partition is the easiest way to prevent steam from catastrophically fucking up.
3. It likes to fight my WM etc. either way, and also do things weirdly in general. (e.g. having its own libraries inside ~/.steam)
4. To game developers, "runs on Linux' generally means "runs on Ubuntu". If my Linux isn't like Ubuntu, it's generally my job to fix the damn thing. Just using Ubuntu for gaming = less headache
5. Clear mental separation of work and games, with a clearly defined transition between them.
tl;dr this way is easier, faster, more comfortable, more compatible and gives me better peace of mind
>>55305842
1. Yeah, I think Steam uses /proc. Normally I just use hardened for servers but it's pretty fun to tinker with.
2. Yeah, it's buggy as shit but I've never had issues that severe.
Personally, what I like to do is keep a seperate box at home with Windows because I almost hate Wine just as much as Windows anyway. I use it for media entertainment and just in case people want me to run a piece of proprietary software ect. Even though I haven't had to in over eight years. I use Gentoo for everything else school, work, dev ect.
>>55305931
I used to have a windows partition for gaming but then I nuked it once day, and now I can't even reinstall windows 7 even if I wanted to.
So all of my gaming has moved to Ubuntu these days, which works better than I ever anticipated. Virtually every game I care about runs natively on Linux
