Which book?
I run Gentoo as my main distro, and have for a couple years now. It's a pretty stable rolling release (IMO more stable than Arch), and since you're already an advanced user, the experience should be pretty rewarding!
The wiki is great, and the installation handbook is top notch.
You get to control exactly what features each package is compiled with, so no bloat at all.
KDE 6 just landed too!
Watching TNG for the first time now and loving it way more than Disco :)
There's so much to look forward to! It is a bit dated and I watch it through rose-colored glasses, but even with that in mind, it's a good show.
Using your shared libraries is always a good thing, no? Like your distro's packages should always have the latest security fixes and such, while flatpaks require a separate upgrade path.
Access to your entire filesystem, however, I agree with you on.
I mean, if you're making a railgun, maybe superconducting magnets would be useful tech to have 🤔
Ha, abusing fork for asynchronous saves is clever. I hope they are aware of the following restriction:
After a fork() in a multithreaded program, the child can safely call only async-signal-safe functions (see signal-safety(7)) until such time as it calls execve(2).
Yes, this. Don't put your whole home directory in git.
This doesn't hold. Commit signature is a feature of git itself, even though the article chooses to focus on GitHub. And afaik github integration of signatures doesn't break code hosting elsewhere, GH merely allows you to register your GPG signature with them so they're able to validate the commits, but the author is still able to enroll the same GPG key to other hosts.
Not only that, but GitHub rewrites signatures on rebase (and sometimes on fast forward merge) with their own private key. Using signatures on GitHub is basically pointless.
Why would anyone want their diplomacy interrupted, even as the one being affected? It's not like diplomacy is some evil spell. A successful diplomacy check means you were able to have small talk, relate, and do all the normal things strangers do to put each other at ease. You don't "defend" against diplomacy!
Imagine trying to agree on a treaty with some jester interrupting every 54 seconds...
Bit of pedantry, but ~/boot expands to something like /home/username/boot.
/boot is a folder at the root of your filesystem, while ~/boot is a directory in your home folder.

I'd argue that people got way too excited about what NFTs offer. Being able to own/transfer a digital item with a standardized interface is interesting technically (and has real value, for example ENS names), but holy hell did people go all Beanie Baby on them...
