The “tank” has an immobile or mostly immobile turret, depending on the particular design of this piece of battlefield ingenuity. Units appear to be making these modifications at the frontline to improve survivability against FPV drones but there isn’t a standard package.

Look at that, an OP who is just a prick.

Why? If you say to limit the spread of bacteria we have some studies that suggest it makes no difference at all

Pay them for a public ipv4.

Some easy display rules, and a couple of plugins and it’s perfect.

It doesn’t matter. Put it in ~/foo/bar/Baz for all the shell cares.

If you don’t have root is it really a VPS?

Anyway, unpack the binaries to ~/local/usr/bin and add that to your PATH.

It’s not quite what you’ve asked for here, but as a Dev I’d be remiss if I didn’t shill for Gentoo.

It ticks your rolling release box, has fantastic docs, a huge package repository (and the community repo Guru), and by design enables almost infinite configurability and customisation. We also have a binary package repository now for popular architectures, so you can choose to avoid compiling if you don’t want to deviate from sane defaults (or only compile in cases where you do!)

On the hardware side, we have fantastic support for a number of architectures, I recently brought up a SPARC system and have some arch64 and riscv in the past.

Finally, even if you just decide to check the distro out, the process of installing, configuring, and maintaining a Linux system is outlined in detail within our handbook, and can provide a peek behind the scenes at what some other distros abstract; it’s a fantastic learning experience for those interested.

Finally, we have fantastic support through volunteers in official IRC channels and forums, as well as unofficial hubs like discord.

Hopefully I’ve planted a seed and you’ll check it out down the line. :)

Contrast that with CLI where if you forgot or don’t know any command there is little help or indicator of what’s available and what can be done without external help.

man would like to have words with your strawman.

No, this is egregious, even for Dan. Don’t feel bad. I called him out on the forums/article comments.

I’m looking at bringing Dillo back into Gentoo atm. I had to read 15k lines of code, and that’s just what’s different since the last release…

I’m a huge proponent of Gentoo Linux as a learning experience. It’s a great way to learn how the components of a system work together and the distro enables an amazing amount of configurability for your system.

Even following a handbook install in a VM can be a good experience if you’re interested.

I once spent a month automating the production of repositories for each kernel version supported on our HPC and rested every step exhaustively in isolation.

When I was satisfied I ran it with root permissions and hosed the VMs it was running on because a recursive chmod evaluated to /.

Oops.

A software platform that makes it nearly impossible for Beehaw to host, in any way, CSAM.

I hate to say it, but you’ll need to find a text-only platform. Allowing any image uploads opens the door to things like this.

Besides that, if your concern is that no moderator should be exposed to anything like that, well on a text-only site you might have to deal with disguised spam links to gore, scam, etc. You’ll still have to click on links to effectively moderate.

Maybe you should consider if this is a position that you want to put yourself in again. It sounds like this may just not be for you.

The standout feature of Gentoo is its configurability; you can configure portage, the package manager, to enable and disable features of a package at build time.

Say you don’t have Bluetooth. You can just exclude Bluetooth from every package by setting the use flag globally:

*/* -bluetooth

it can even manage dependencies, a good example is picking pipewire over pulse.

It’s also easy to package software that isn’t in the official repos - here’s a post where I did just that.

The community is fantastic and supportive, and you can often get a near immediate response in IRC.

Finally the documentation is excellent, especually the handbook.

I’m very biased, but try Gentoo. It’s no harder to install than arch and has some very cool package management features, like USE flags.

IMO running through a Gentoo installation is a great way to learn.

The handbook is well documented and walks you through all of the steps that an installer would traditionally do.

You can do it in a VM or bare metal if you’re feeling adventurous!

That’s a great question. Mostly it’d be a matter of exporting and then importing / converting the disk image and standing up similar VM “hardware”.

You might still need to reactivate the licence; I’m not sure if the virtual hardware move will trip activation.

I wrote some TypeScript modules to process a bunch of documentation in markdown to a ton of output formats via pandoc + latex.

No real reason for it, except that I was able to start with the export module of a node-based thing written in JavaScript and iterate from there until I had a working system in CI/CD.

Why are you using VirtualBox for this anyway?

KVM/QEMU + Virt-manager all the way.
