noelle

am i the only one that still calls macOS "OS X"?

..is that deadnaming?

my favorite thing about bedrock is that you can just do this

fun fact: /etc/os-release is writable, and (at least on a LFS setup, some distros probably care about it) it doesn't matter what's in it

this is gonna be cool

they didn't even change the package name for naenara lol

for some reason the redstar install image won't boot now why did i have to delete the old installation :neocat_floof_explode:

hmm why is my PC running so slow
checks htop
oh.

looks like there's forced dependencies for KDE

suurely nothing bad will happen if i just remove the associated files and then nuke yum

whatever, got a backup image, worth a try

should i distribute the red star .iso in the repo? feels rude to waste 2.6G of codeberg's storage

maybe i'll make the makefile fetch the image

my framebuffer keeps flashing a solid color for like a µs or so but only on my external monitor, bunch of artefacts with OpenGL accelerated libvirt GPU too

i don't know if i accidentally cooked the iGPU by having thermals scrape by TJUNCTION one too many times or if it's just the HDMI cable getting worn down

with my batshit insane PC usage habits both are equally possible

<-- accidentally unmerged sys-kernel/linux-firmware "hmm why isn't my GPU working? :neocat_thinking:"

looks like my (potential) endo responded to me after 3 months, wonder how much i'll wait for the next acknowledgement of my existance this time :neocat_floof_explode:

i miss when i could leave my home without a weapon
i miss when i could let my guard down on public transport

i guess that's just womanhood

also in case any{one,thing}s curious about my redstar de-juche-fication workspace

ahh i cant write anything longform

modern CPUs are really amazing
how does this 22-threaded monstrocity draw just 5 watts???

<-- staring at the decompile and pretending to know what she's looking at

god i haven't touched ghidra since i was 15

almost there

I FORGOT THERE WAS A PRIVATE WINDOW I LOST ALL MY TABS :neocat_cry_loud:
C-S-t isn't working
maybe that's for the best actually

i should probably record my disinfection steps so it can be automated, hosting just the rootfs without any sort of build system feels wrong

should i leave sogwang office (juche openoffice) in? might be tainted

vital shell is really cool

and we're done here :>

i could also just import redstar as a bedrock stratum for that kickass KDE theme, but that's probably an even worse idea than taking it's kernel

wait i'm doing it wrong
i could just extract the KDE-related .rpm's onto a blank dir and end up with a probably servicable rootfs

i wonder why the hell does redstar name its internal stuff in english

i guess IT critters all over the world use english

god damn the sun

:neocat_confused:

i'm gonna build LFS but with a better libc this time & with less stuff in the final install, gonna have it as a sort of experimental stratum to tinker around with

(i'll really do anything but work on my projects huh)

playing around with red star's files gave me an idea, i'll try actually installing it as a bedrock stratum and getting it to start the OSX-esque desktop with a modern environment

maybe i should start a blog? for a writeup

(again, i'll really do anything but work on my projects...)

i just had my framebuffer flash red for a split second after running rm -rf on a large dir
i've been getting a lot of weird long hitches when doing anything I/O intensive too
i should probably back my stuff up

looks like KDE is linked against "libsmctl.so" in red star, which is provided by "securityd"

this might not be as trivial as anticipated

gonna take a peek at it in ghidra

4 days

ill never get used to keeping my phone in my left pocket, but i have to keep my right hand on my knife
this country sux
