Thanks for the video. And just fyi fortran is still a very common scientific computing language. I have to read and write fortran with my physics professor as part of our research. Legacy code is written in fortran and porting usually introduces new bugs that need to be fleshed out extensively before any results can be trusted or published. Then scientists are overworked and underpaid, so yea it just never gets done and we keep using fortran even as C++ and Python continue to become more popular

Your video make my end of Friday very happy just because I like GENTOO linux. Thank you bro!

[@letsplayonlinux4383]

I really like Gentoo, but Slackware and NetBSD are also my favorite ones.

[@ShiggitayMediaProductions]

Give Funtoo a try. It's a much simpler Gentoo-based system and it uses portage just like vanilla Gentoo.

[@letsplayonlinux4383]

@@ShiggitayMediaProductions thank for your advice

[@AggressiveMenace]

I probably would give a try to Gentoo Hardened/SElinux on my main computer, but I also think about reliving an old one with Pentium IV 2.8 GHz microprocessor, 1 gigabyte of RAM, and general Jurassic Park-alike specs, using the latest NetBSD iso. That's could be fine as a personal server even if it's a really antique setup.

@Mental Outlaw Could you please do a video on reasons not to use Discord / Expand on "Chinese data harvesting botnet" in reference to your Cordless video?

[@Raren789]

Check RMS website

stallman.org/discord.html I'd still like to see a video on what he thinks about it beyond it just being a botnet.

[@thebackofdoctormanhattanshead]

Just to add, if you're looking for alternative messaging services, XMPP/Mumble is great. This would suit most people's needs for chatting with your friends, or finding a community forum for something or secure communications.

[@kot3405]

Have you ever tried distcc? It seems like a good tool to use when installing gentoo on less powerful machines

[@FireWolfx100]

Still cant get firefox to build with libressl 🤔

[@voiceofthetrue1849]

The easiest way to fix that, is to install nodejs from Gentoo overlays.

[@lionoh]

Here we go with all that Gen2,I'm over here floating on TempleOs.

[@zyan983]

Could you do a video on nftables for security. Nftables are basically iptables, but with a better syntax, better performance, combined rules & protocals.

The theme isn't readable

Wouldn't say that. Only the red is a little dark.

Why no $USE?

[@luandngu]

instead of using swap, why not wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Zram ? Use zram as swap, essentially compress the ram, which is still faster than moving into physical disks on modern hardware, lz4 is pretty fast too

[@WorBlux]

zram has a couple drawbacks. The first is with multi-threading. Only one thread can read/write a zram device at once. Another is that while you can set zram to be used as first swap, there's no LRU algorithm in place to dynamicly put the least used swapped pages into the slower device. It thus can fill up with a lot of stuff that's not that important and rarely used while eating RAM and forcing more commonly used pages to be swapped to a disk. It works well enough for occasional memory constraints, and you don't need or want real swap space (throws hibernation right out as a possibility though)

[@secondamail3807]

i don't fucking know anything about gentoo but for some reason i love this

[@voiceofthetrue1849]

Could you please change your color scheme? because it's unreadable at all.

To be more specific, dark red is too dark
