I would wager the opposite. eudev was a temporary hack - udev with stuff removed. I use openrc everywhere with udev, and have never run eudev at all -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com

Re: [gentoo-user] resolving names of local hosts locally

ge is to walk the DNS for every zone hosted and see if they are still legit. No-one ever really does this until their DNS management software is migrated, and then eyeballs get very big indeed. I had the pleasure once - it took 16 hours to fully validate 50,000 zones, and it took 6 attempts to write code for all errors. -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com

Re: [gentoo-user] OT: i7-6700, anyone already?

you get an SSD as well? It's one of the biggest performance improvements you can make[1] and to be honest is worth more overall than expensive CPUs. [1] The other huge improvement is another 8G of RAM and make /var/tmp/portage a tmpfs with default settings (it will use up to 8G RAM on demand). Eve

o translate the Google-speak: "less secure mail app" really means "a really shitty auth method that isn't our (Google's) auth method".

linux doesn't. Booting into Windows applies the magic so when you reboot into Linux it's now in a state Linux can use. Read the kernel docs for your driver, the odds are good you have to apply a driver tweak for your hardware to make it work right. Then do a Google search for your hardware and la

Re: [gentoo-user] libpcre && blender: Confusion?

d do have libpcre.so.3 from somewhere. How critical is this error anyway? I can't imagine it would stop blender from working entirely. Do you download a source or a binary daily build? Some things to try: - symlink it anyway and see if the regex functions in blender now work - if blender is a binary download, search it's files for libpcre.so* Maybe it's there and you just need to tweak LDPATH -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com

Re: [gentoo-user] resolving names of local hosts locally

r own caching server on the local network and set the TTL for your own zones to something sane i.e. 1 day (as opposed to the current idiotic fad of making it 10 minutes). The query your cache for your entire zone once a day. Unless your internet connection goes out for more than a day, you're good

The kernel devs have no desire to hold anyone's hand; they assume (correctly IMNSHO) that anyone configuring a kernel knows what they are doing and knows the tools to use.
