bodaciousFern@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Linux@lemmy.ml•A month with LFS (Linux From Scrath) + musl + eudev + libressl + qi package builder helper. What a great experience.4·24 days agoSlackware taught me appreciation for apt/yum dependency resolution.
It was a great learning experience, but I doubt I’d ever go back
bodaciousFern@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Linux@lemmy.ml•A month with LFS (Linux From Scrath) + musl + eudev + libressl + qi package builder helper. What a great experience.7·25 days agoNever 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 😁
I was actually tempted to try learning nasm for funsies a year or two ago until I discovered it doesn’t support ARM processors 🥲
So if you want to use
systemd-boot
as the bootloader you have to (apparently) install thesystemd-utils
package. Or you can just use GRUB / efistub.Edit: looks like groche beat me to it 😁
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’

I can’t even get myself to learn rust, let alone make a GPU driver while reverse engineering blackbox hardware.
bodaciousFern@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Linux@lemmy.ml•Need help with setting up full disk encryption (FDE) where /home is on another drive.3·1 month agoBut how to get the OS to recognize it?
My approach for doing this in Gentoo with an encrypted /home is to configure dracut to make a slightly customized initrd.
Thanks to dracut modules, not too much configuration is needed - it prompts on boot for the password to decrypt, and then fstab is just configured to mount the decrypted uuid.
Someone else mentioned using multiple key slots, but I think this is your only real secure option.
Edit: on second thought, you may be able to get this to work in grub simply by adding
rd.luks.uuid=xxx
as a kernel boot parameter, and then having the decrypted /dev/mapper uuid in fstab for /home
Me too - my take on it was the end of the world is nigh and Jesus is returning to Earth, but on the way back he passes Francis’ soul
