FWIW I've been able to run a full desktop environment (KDE) over waypipe without much issues. It's uncanny how easy it is. You can just do things.

P.S.: i use grayjay.app.

Woah,, 100GB of disk space sounds a bit much for a chat application.

I'm not familiar with Android app development, so this comes as quite a surprise to me.

What gives? Does reproducibility increase the requirements to such a degree?

I love that 'java mentioned,' alone, is enough for a content warning...

possibly will break flatpak in: [...]
- NixOS - is everything cool and happy on NixOS in that case? I would be cautious.

NixOS uses systemd extensively and adding services is trivial. I'm sure it'll be fine.

In fact the Gentoo userbase of Flatpak is rather large.
[...] main reason [...] is to get Steam running

Flatpak has been really useful to me on Gentoo for various reasons:
+ Steam on a (no-multilib || musl) system;
+ not having to compile huge projects that I don't use often;
+ testing out desktop software. (otherwise I use nix/guix)

I suspect the same thing could happen as with systemd-logind, i.e., the systemd-specific parts being extracted to a distro-agnostic solution (elogind in that case).
The only reason I see for not making it distro-agnostic from the start is that it's easier (for them) to target systemd.

Bit late to the party, but if you have a moment, I urge you to read @mgorny@treehouse.systems's latest blog post about what makes Gentoo Gentoo:
https://blogs.gentoo.org/mgorny/2026/05/28/why-gentoo/

Every now and again I get asked why I use Gentoo, and I usually say that it's the perfect OS for me, or that does what I want it to do. (Though, sometimes I go on rambling for hours... )
I think that this article conveys the point of Gentoo really well ( much better than I do :p ), so if you're curious, give it a read!

Huge thank you to the Gentoo community for their exceptional work

Just for posterity--recently, I started using fedi a bit more, so now the memory usage sits at around 64M.
I've never interacted with so many instances before >~

@rose@snac.pinkro.se I bet you'll be delighted to find out that in zsh, &| means fork into background and disown ​:D

If a job is started with ‘&|’ or ‘&!’, then that job is immediately disowned.

I always forget which is which, lmao

@mkljczk@fediverse.pl I still don't get it...

My instance has ~20 users (slowly growing) so that'd mean I'd have to manually add each new user to each repo / org.
I think it's a pretty valid use case. I'm not doing that out of malevolence either. 0.o

@mkljczk@fediverse.pl @drew@social.freebitcoin.gay why do you consider it an anti-feature? /gen

My code forge (#forgejo) is publicly accessible, but I want to restrict some repositories (e.g., mirrors) to logged-in users, so this is perfect.

I've only used #snac for about half a year, and my instance takes up ~250MB of disk space and ~25MB of memory. :)

I wish more modern software was like #snac2 (:

haven't got around to setting it up yet, so let me know if you end up doing it anytime soon™

If I understand correctly, they're using this module in particular:

I also found a 'tutorial' for iocaine, which you might find useful:

Perhaps the nvme kernel module was built-in, and some update made it a loadable module?

Doesn't seem that way:

% diff <(rg NVME /boot/config-6.17.9-*) <(rg NVME /boot/config-6.19.12-*)
30a31
> CONFIG_NVMEM_QNAP_MCU_EEPROM=m

hmm...

UPDATE:

Turns out the nvme kernel module wasn't being loaded for some reason??

Worked around it by putting force_drivers+=" nvme " in /etc/dracut.conf.d/, but I'm not quite sure why it suddenly broke... Perhaps the nvme kernel module was built-in, and some update made it a loadable module?

i wonder if i can make linux boot from zfs without a ramdisk...

my kernel's initra mfs no longer work and I don't know why

It's not that hard to free your kindle. :)
See: https://kindlemodding.org/
I recommend you try it if your kindle is supported by the jailbreaks.

I use #KOReader (https://koreader.rocks/) on my Kindle, and I like it far more than Kindle's native interface.
KOReader is also available on other platforms (e.g., Android, Linux) so you can try it there first!
It can even synchronise reading progress between devices, so I can resume reading on my tablet/phone. :)
(yes, I shill koreader. its awesome)

Oh! On the desktop I use @tokodon@kde.social (Qt6) and, seldom, Tuba (libed waiter).

Tokodon has some problems here and there, but I'm not entirely sure if it's a snac/mastoAPI problem or just a Tokodon bug.
