TL;DR: yes

Just from a quick view of the repo, the simplest way to do it would be to look at the playbook.yml and copy all roles you want for a host into a new playbook, say myhost.yaml. Copy not only the roles but all the other keywords as well. Then you go to the inventory and add your hosts where you to execute the playbook against. Then you change the hosts key value in the playbook you made from all to the hosts you added to the inventory.

That is, add your hosts to the inventory, create playbooks for for them and run. That is the easiest. Read up on how to do groups and organizing your inventory to improve it from there.

I do something similar. “Last time I used windows it was Windows 98…”

I got mine from https://serverpartdeals.com/ that was before Trump 2.0, but it appears prices to EU are still ok. Shipping was brilliant. They appear to have 14TB for about 180 USD.

Your control over the system is so great in Gentoo. While other distros may pull in a dependency you will never use – say like cups – gentoo allows you to remove the dependency by removing support for it at install/compile time.

I love how the portage packages are maintained, it is so easy to find which versions are available, select version, read about why a package is masked and having all the tools for overriding that decision by the package maintainers and install anyway. They inform you about important updates and migrations when you sync your package repository. It is also super easy to patch the code being installed.

I would not say portage is complicated. For most operations you just install a package, sync, and upgrade like you would in any distro. It tales time to do this, sure. What is complicated is, I would say, figuring out how to boot your machine. You want encrypted this or that, dropbear, systemd or openrc, want to manage your initramfs with dracut or make one yourself, distro-kernel or another flavour, and on and on. I also think that the wiki is not very detailed on a lot of what the different systems do and how they talk to each other.

Anyway, I love it. If I would start with Gentoo today, I would install a Gentoo Prefix

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Prefix

There you can get used to the portage package manager withour messing up your system and without doing a reinstall.

I don’t think a Gentoo Prefix is anything but an environment directly on the host, it’s not containerized in any way. For me its for a system where the package manager is a bit outdated or I need to patch it, then installing with portage by a Gentoo Prefix helps me do that.

Run a Gentoo Prefix maybe? You get portage and can install customized packages like one does, without risking the system.

I used to run linux in a vm on the work mac, which was fine. Then they managed to block it too. I tried a gentoo prefix, but did not work well enough to be usable on arm. It sucks.

Hm, I should have asked… When I had a similar problem I just unplugged disk by disk from my raidz2 to find the right one. Good that you found a better way.

I would recommend this too. This was the easiest to setup. I only had an issue with docker compose which made the pihole not being accessible while on wireguard. Once I put the pihole and wg-easy on the same docker network it started working.

I got one of those too. I called the customer service to get another path home because of disturbances, and they just have robot answering. The robot started halfway through the call just reading pure json at me, and then said “to get this information as a message press 1” or something. This is what I got:

Here is your journey from undefined to undefined: BUSS 506 towards Karolinska sjukhuset 09:36 from undefined 10:18 arrived at undefined. Link to your journey.

It may only be possible to say so because I have not used windows in 20ish years, but I find mac to be completely horrible.

Super slow. Even the arm ones, to switch to the workspace where my vscode windows are takes like 4 seconds, starting bash (I have gone through my bashrc like 10 times) takes several seconds. After a boot it takes minutes before everything is loaded in the settings, meaning some settings are not available directly after boot (why is the settings window modular and dynamic like that?)

The mouse speed and accelleration just feels like I’m stuck in butter. I have made some config change outside of the settings to speed up the mouse, but I have to reboot to make them take effect is insane. Accelleration is suppose to be off, but that disgusting buttery feeling is still there. If I switch to linux it is not.

They had an update where they broke ssh. They fucking broke ssh for like two months. How the fuck am I suppose to work on it?

Not having a proper distinction between left and right opt/cmd/control which makes adapting keyboard layout to your personal workflow hard as shit.

You have to like click everything and random shit grabs the window focus all the time. So many times I have switched workspace or something and it displayed it but the focus is still left on the laptop or something. Randomly you have to click on a window instead of just using a keybind to get there.

After a day at work, forced to use mac, I just have to start my linux machine, even if I do not have anything to do on it, just to feel sane again.

Tried this once, sort of. But it was in wmii. I switched workspace, and then my friend wanted the browser, so I say go ahead. He presses the little 2 down in the corner, I did not even know it was clickable, and that happens to be the workspace with the browser.

It does spell trouble, but you might be able to ask your ISP to give you a public IP in that case.

There is no auth needed for gh runners? Like a secret shared between them and the repo? I would guess repo secrets are not shared when forked… right?

Debian based. Debian? Based!

It say TailOS, not Tails though.

They should make a usb-port with a spring in it which can be released with eject. Until then I have to be content with just making sound effects when I run eject on other devices.
