Not sure if irregular booting is still an issue, but that sounds a lot like device names changing between boots. If I could hazard a guess - you’ve got something like /dev/sda in your fstab, where ideally you’d have UUID=1234-ABC. You can get the uuid by running

blkid | grep sda

Isn’t there a difference between public and private companies?

Thanks for writing the words down! I struggle with that sometimes.

Cool!

Yes, data is cheap. Infra is not

I’m confused. Are you playing your local music?

Not defending streaming platforms, but this completely ignores infra costs.

Just want to say you’re not alone. It matters to me, too!

Don’t. It’s a drug!

Once it clicks how much cruft you don’t even compile in - and as such how much cruft cannot be exploited - there’s no going back.

The only arch machine I have left is the one for steam - couldn’t be bothered to add multilib to my binhost. But even that seems to be on the path of deprecation as I’ve read this morning about wine releasing wow64 support. I think the day of 100% Gentoo infra in my household is actually getting close!

Ditto. I run OpenRC{,-init} on Gentoo and it’s really simple. Even managed to swap my system to systemd to prove intune can be run (that garbage links directly to systemd, unfortunately). Proved my point, it didn’t go anywhere, now back to openrc.

What was the old instance?

Save it in a file. It’s just text. You can even use a GUI text editor!

Portage allows that to some extent - you can make it install thr latest of everything. Depending on the ebuild, a lot of that will be straight from git. Master branch, not some random working one, mind you, but still.

Yes. In general - it’s called live cd. Some distros ship with that in their installed image. {K,X,}ubuntu come to mind. Mint might do as well. You can boot into it and look around, see if basic stuff - network, audio, etc - works.

The only reason we’re both stuck at the same light is you.

I’m a living proof you’re the opposite of right 😁

Because this was posted from an account originating from my instance - I’d like to promo it a bit :) lemmy.cafe has been .ml-free for quite some time

It is. This is a quality article.

Is this at a webserver level?

I’ve only ever been told that perl is a write-only language :D
