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.
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.
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.

If that's not interesting or useful for you, try using VMware or some other visualization computer software...
How 2 exit it?? Is it malcious software?
Fear not, young lady! I am a wizard, and I shall help you. Press escape and type in this spell: ":wq" No need to thank me. I'm just doing my duty...
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.
>>881 vis may be of your interest: https://github.com/martanne/vis Haven't used it too much though
Anyone know a free VPN add-on for Firefox with lots of IPs/servers? I only know UrbanVPN.
>>893 Are you crazy? It's dirty cheap for services they provide. mullvad and ivpn are probably the only ones that are not openly survey your internet activity. You won't find this quality for a cheaper price, ever.
>>894 Anything that's not free is too expensive for a NEET like me.
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
It aint much but its honest work
>>432 I really like this one, good job! mine is quite bland, my phone's battery doesn't last very long so an AMOLED friendly homescreen helps quite a bit. And to be honest, I'm trying to use my phone less
>>432 it just werks
I should probably switch it. I've been using this for the past two years already
need proxi nowe plz (make it ultraviolet pls)
hello, I work in cs (pentester) and I'm looking for hacking based imageboards !!!!
Sadly there are none as of now I was actually planning on starting one (probably never)
What is the main advantage of Gentoo ? In your opinion, what are the main advantages over Debian or Arch-based systems?
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
>>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.
Hey, does anyone know how I can enter the closed shell system?
>>728 debian uses binary packages, right? based on my brief experience with debian I would guess you have to first create the packages and then add them to a local repository (this is, a local list of packages) >compile and "install" the package to a $dummy dir (I think cmake has flags to do this, similar to --prefix with ./configure) >mkdir -p $dummy/debian; nano $dummy/debian/control (https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#debian-binary-package-control-files-debian-control) >dpkg-deb -b $dummy this will create a .deb for $dummy with the files that make install (or cmake install) would normally add to your /usr/local then you create a local repository in the arbitrary dir $lrep >mkdir $lrep >cd $lrep >cp -r dir/with/deb_files/* . >dpkg-scanpackages . > Packages >echo "deb [trusted=yes] file:/path/to/$lrep /" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/lrep.list replace $dummy with the name of your package and $lrep with the name of your local repository (same with /path/to/$lrep). here is an example of a debian control file https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-faq/pkg-basics.en.html#controlfile notice that the only required fields are package, version, architecture, maintainer and description
>>729
I want git pull, magick.sh, apt install,
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debmake-doc/index.en.html
>>731
There's so much info about packaging. I want to
1. git pull/wget the source code of the release I want to compile
2. run magick.sh that will make me a package
3. apt install it
I could implement all that but I lack mental capacity to comprehend all the documentation right now
>>732 without getting into source-based packages that sounds easy to automate in a very crude way, you don't really need debmake or debuild, just have a script download and untar the release, compile and install to a prefix, add the debian control file, generate the .deb, move it to your local repository, and update it's metadata the only problem with this approach is dependency detection, but considering you are already compiling the software, I assume you have the dependencies anyways. it is a bad practice but you can list the dependencies later I guess
Does anyone know how I might get into learning C? I want to make a simple RPG to play in my terminal but I don't know a lick of programming...
>>711 Literally just write a program and you will learn by googling syntax If you are on linux you likely have a preinstalled resource for the stdlib (ew) and (most) linux interfaces >rpg puts() is as good as any high-level shitlang.
>>711 "Modern C" by Jens Gustedt is more or less the default C beginner book. There is a CC version (https://inria.hal.science/hal-02383654/file/ModernC.pdf) so you don't even need to libgen it. >a simple RPG to play in my terminal Elaborate?
>>711 Anon we all start somewhere and it's okay to start with a scripting language like Python. Learn enough Python to build your simple game then move on if you feel like it. No need to commit to one language for all time. Sorry this didn't really answer your question. >>716 This is good advice for your 2nd language but if you don't know how to program at all you'll need some guidance to get started.
>>716 >puts() is as good as any high-level shitlang. I think OP wanted to make something like nethack and not 100% text, but I could be interpreting it wrong. In that case I recommend looking into (n)curses, however it WILL be very frustating, as there is little documentation, but it is doable. Just make sure to gather some more programming experience and keeping this on your backlog, before starting with it, as it's a bit advanced. >>721 As this anon, said, you probably should start with an easier language first. Sure, you can try C, but it will much likely be frustrating and not very fun. Ncurses bindings exist for Python as well, so you can make your terminal RPG with that too. See here: https://docs.python.org/3/howto/curses.html For learning Python just pick up some book from the last 10 years about the language (it's important that it is Python 3 and not Python 2.7) and read through it. The book or course or video playlist doesn't matter as much, as does practice. It's important you try as much stuff out as possible, so you make mistakes and learn from them, but also because you'll gain an understanding of programming overall. If you don't know which book to choose, just try this: https://libgen.rs/book/index.php?md5=922B856D66574746B69EC69E67C20A17 In case you don't like authors writing style, the examples or find it otherwise not helpful, just search through libgen with keywords such as "Python programming", "Learn Python" or "Python Course"
