While reinstalling my system I accidentally tarballed /srv/http outside of chroot, then deleted my old data, now have to rewrite the website i was working on from zero

I once unpacked an entire system outside of chroot, rewriting my current one and breaking everything.

what hypervisor should i use? Anonymous 10/16/2024 (Wed) 23:04:24 No. 856 [Reply]

i know of Xen, Bhyve (which is like a vmm but with a hypervisor too, but its kinda less capable), or KVM (i don't really like GNU/Linux but ill get over it eventually i guess, im in a love hate relationship rn because distro fragmentation kinda sucks a lot) Xen apparently may or may not work on my current hardware, unfortunately, and i also don't know if ill even benefit from it anyways, since i really don't have a problem with running a host, its 2024, i have enough computational resources for having a resource intense host i would also say NetBSD Virtual Machine Manager is an option but i can't run NetBSD on most of my hardware as a host, and nested virtualization is not really possible on FreeBSD Bhyve iirc, and id rather not do a QEMU/KVM setup just to run NetBSD, it would be really heavy and sluggish for the most part, but idrk

plan 9 also has a virtual machine system, but i don't really have a reason to start a 9fs grid since im broke af and can't buy a bunch of machines, so yeah, idk Hyper-V might be fine, im not opposed to Windows at all, but its gonna take a bit to learn how to use Windows. Solaris 11 is also an option but id rather not depend on having an Oracle account, even if its "free", however if its virtualization is actually good i might just use Solaris as my host, especially since it still supports SPARC (i plan on buying a SPARC machine)

> what hypervisor should i use? I don't understand what you are trying to do with your hypervisor? I think in most cases, you should be fine with KVM though. I don't see why you would use anything else as it's (except for Xen and Hyper-V maybe) the most capable, stable and best-supported out of your list.

Anonymous 10/17/2024 (Thu) 06:18:03 No. 859

Don't use them. You don't need them.

Anonymous 11/18/2024 (Mon) 18:22:07 No. 938

There isn't a "good" hypervisor. Just know what works best for you. I recommend using VirtualBox, I personally use it. It's cross-platform (Windows, MacOS, Linux) and it's free.

https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads If that's not interesting or useful for you, try using VMware or some other visualization computer software...

What was your first Linux distro? Over a decade ago, on my shitty vista laptop, I flashed Gentoo on to it, because people said it was best to start with in a chatroom I was in... I ended up figuring it out somehow though.

It is cruel irony that I find vim the most comfy terminal based text editor. No other compares to it. But is so fucking complex and overloaded with features, that every time I need to correct my workflow it's major pain the ass.

I don't know if this would fit your use case, but whenever I need to access a website as if I'm in another country, I just use Tor and configure it so the exit node is always in the country I want to access the site as. I've been doing this a lot lately to access Niconico as if I'm in Japan, since they recently applied a lot of restrictions to overseas users

What is the main advantage of Gentoo ? In your opinion, what are the main advantages over Debian or Arch-based systems?

Anonymous 08/12/2024 (Mon) 20:45:37 No. 695

it is source-based. in my experience this means mainly three things: - if something breaks or doesn't compile I can fix it myself without having to search internet forums and such - I can set compilation flags to adapt programs to my needs and environment - it is easier to create and maintain my own packages for the package manager I use it mostly for Recreational Programming, I often browse github for libraries for my projects and most of the time they aren't popular enough to be in the package repository of any distro. with gentoo I can write an ebuild and have the library installed and maintained by the package manager in less than 5 minutes it fits my use-case well but I don't know if I would recommend it to other people. it isn't hard but you need some experience with c/c++ toolchains, autotools and cmake for it to be anything more than just another distro with less support than debian now that I think about it, one notable thing is that gentoo doesn't do stuff behind your back so to speak, so there aren't as many opportunities for things to break unexpectedly. I guess that can be a plus even for inexperienced users

Anonymous 08/12/2024 (Mon) 20:53:51 No. 696

and yes, I'm too dumb and lazy to learn nix/guix

Anonymous 08/30/2024 (Fri) 23:56:56 No. 736

>>694 Advantages? No. There is none. I've spent one entire year with Gentoo and three months with Funtoo, and, these two are simply distros for enthusiasts. That's it. Don't get me wrong, Portage is a good package manager, but you'll probably spend a lot of time with it, and it's just not worthy.
