I don't know the name but I can tell you how sad they make me when they break and tear off and you have to use a lighter on the now extremely frayed end(s) of your shoelace for just a few seconds, and then pinch off the flame just lightly burning your fingies while molding the shoelace end into a cohesive black carcinogen.

Never actually tried LFS but I have done Gentoo from stage 1 (back when that was an option), so I'm going to use your statement as an indication I can skip LFS ๐Ÿ˜

So if you want to use systemd-boot as the bootloader you have to (apparently) install the systemd-utils package. Or you can just use GRUB / efistub.

Edit: looks like groche beat me to it ๐Ÿ˜

It's probably been 4 years since I last had to rebuild my Gentoo, but I would be very surprised if there weren't good OpenRC instructions. I built mine with systemd and Gentoo handbook instructions always felt like 'Are you sure you don't want to use OpenRC? Ok, here are the systemd steps I guess'

An obviously talented programmer is no longer working on a free project that very few people can meaningfully contribute to - that is a shame.

I can't even get myself to learn rust, let alone make a GPU driver while reverse engineering blackbox hardware.

I'm using Gentoo with systemd and a customized kernel, and additionally I have the /usr partition LUKS encrypted. Because /usr is absolutely essential for systemd to function, I configured dracut to make a specially crafted initrd which activates the luks lvm and prompts for the password to decrypt and mount /usr on startup before systemd init tries to run.

About a year or two ago, some update to dracut or some other dependency (assumption) caused the dracut generated initrd's to kernel panic. After multiple days of troubleshooting, I discovered that just copying forward an older initrd in /boot and naming it to match the new kernel, e.g. initramfs-6.6.38-gentoo.img , allows the system to boot normally .

So, my Gentoo is booting a kernel 6.6.something with a ramdisk generated in the 5.9 kernel era. I am dreading the day when this behavior breaks and I can no longer update my kernel ๐Ÿ˜ณ

Not sure where you got the 25kb number from.

This tool is written in go and is a 7.8 MB compiled binary.

Force uninstalled glibc on my Gentoo, which basically broke every shell and binary on the system. Was able to repair in place because I

  1. Had already compiled busybox statically
  2. Still had a copy of the stage 3 tarball on / which I could use to 'restore' glibc libraries
