Gentoo Comrade 12/21/20 (Mon) 04:49:36 No.3910 [Reply]

Let's have a general for discussion about the most based OS there ever was.
What builds are you using? Use flags? Are you on a Stacking or tiling windows manager?
Lay it all down. Talk about optimization and help out more, less experienced, gentoo users.

It wasn't intended to be a rhetorical question. Why might someone do Gentoo over Linux From Scratch?

Comrade 12/21/20 (Mon) 04:50:11 No.4267

>>4257
Linux from scratch is the dumbest most boring thing one could do. It's litterally a gentoo installation where instead of using portage you go to the page of all the various components and projects and manually download them and compile them.
Maybe it made sense before gentoo was a thing but I really don't see the point now, you learn nothing over a stage 3 installation

>>4264
Gentoo actually has some uses, it can be an excellent base for a specialized distro:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Distributions_based_on_Gentoo

LFS on the other hand is just a hobby project whose only goal is building the system to learn about linux, and not actually using it. It's like a school project.

Comrade 12/21/20 (Mon) 04:50:21 No.4361

>>4264
LFS is actually unmaintainable as a computer that you would actually use because just keeping the packages up to date would take all of your free time to download, compile and debug. LFS is something you do out of curiosity in a VM, and then wipe the VM image afterwards. It doesn't exist to create a thing that serves a useful purpose.

A) Know what they can use to detect that you're in their systems
B) Know what they can use to link it back to you
From these two points you narrow down the chance of being caught.
You could hack an old machine, for example, since reconnaissance is the most important part of hacking, and you got access to it all. In case you get caught they wouldn't think it was an insider.

But be safe, if you don't master what you are doing, you'll be caught.

If you prepare the rootkit beforehand and put it in some kind of simple tool (like an addon for a text editor or something dumb) and then release it anonymously in public, you get plausible deniability for it.
So when they ask you "hey, our data got hacked and you unlocked the door when it happened" you can say you just compiled this cool github thing that would've helped your workflow.
You might not even get fired for it then, since this shit happens all the time anyways.

Comrade 12/21/20 (Mon) 04:50:12 No.4270

No. Privacy goes beyond just gimmick anti-privacy tools that only make you stand out more - precisely by blocking things in a way that makes you unique.

You should instead aim to stand out as little as possible. Tor Browser is best in this because it is specifically restricted in a way that website can't detect every little detail about your OS and browser, it tries to make every user appear as the same person. Not to mention that hiding your IP is the bare minimum (but far from enough).

Comrade 12/21/20 (Mon) 04:50:12 No.4277

>>4270
I just wish more sites didn't do deliberate degredation or denial of service to people using tor. I generally take the RMS approach of refusing to use such services but it makes so many things a pain.

Comrade 12/21/20 (Mon) 04:50:12 No.4279

>>4277
Some major websites who do that have alternative front-ends that can function also as proxies, e.g. invidious, nitter, bibliogram.
In other cases, if I really want to access the website, I use such primitive methods as free web proxies. They work well enough even for posting comments under blog posts or news articles.

However most websites don't necessarily even know they're blocking a chunk of their users or audience. That's because they use 3rd party tools that by default block Tor.

That is usually due to file system corruption or a crash before sync. Is your hard drive failing? Post the output of the following command (use sudo if not root):

Is there an equivalent for flash drives? I checked SMART on the HDD recently and it was fine. I'll check again tonight. I think that the corruption might have happened during a data transfer to a flash drive. Sorry that I wasn't clearer earlier, I'm kind of in a rush.

Comrade 12/21/20 (Mon) 04:50:06 No.4211

Depends on the flash drive, but not usually. A failed flash drive usually produces read or write errors, so you can try running badblocks on it after the data is off.
