   have you seen the glibc ebuild? it's 1500 lines. lfs does it in less than 50

   gentoo has a feature creep and bitrot problem that has been going on for no less than 15 years. glibc is a package that should be closely guarded as it is at the CORE of your system.

• Ask HN: Why is HN not categorizing submitted items?

  I think they'd rather have one community rather than multiple communities oriented around different subjects. (See Reddit) I have been thinking about making a classification model for "things that might be posted to Hacker News" and was thinking about training it on https://tildes.net/. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Ask HN: How to get invites when your network is small?

  Https://tildes.net/ It was mentioned in recent HN thread on other websites that people who read HN like. But I do mean my question more broadly, not just about this particular website. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Ask HN: On improving the quality of submissions (on the top/front page)

  I don’t think comments make a story more visible on HN, it’s not like https://tildes.net/ My belief actually is that visibility of posts is suppressed if they get, say, 20 comments and already have 50 votes. So if you want to be systematic about posting comments with some “tough love” go right ahead. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

  People on Tildes thought the author of that article was a lunatic https://tildes.net/~food/1b92/im_a_microbiologist_and_here_is_what_and_where_i_never_eat. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Sites like HN on other topics?

  I really like Tildes https://tildes.net/ which is less focused, more about everything (god I wish I could frontpage an article about sports on HN) but has a much higher ratio of discussions to links (e.g. Ask HN is a joke) I have invites. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Bringing up BPI-F3 - Part 1

  Their images are Debian derivatives, I prefer Gentoo and since we have stage3 for rv64_lp64d-openrc, I guess I can give it a try. - Source: dev.to / 13 days ago

• Gentoo bans AI-created contributions

  > Gentoo does not accept art contributions of any kind (human/ai), there is just no place for this. Okay, let's do a short fact check on that: 1. Visit https://gentoo.org, notice logo in top left: a first sign of contributed art. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Linux saved my life

  And just wait till you discover Arch Linux, Gentoo, Guix, or NixOS. Source: 11 months ago

• I'd like to interview redditors here about their favorite distro release.

  I'm daily driving Gentoo GNU/Linux (https://gentoo.org). I prefer it over other GNU/Linux distributions because it allows me to customize the operating system down to a lower level. I'm also planning on installing Linux From Scratch (https://linuxfromscratch.org) for educational purposes. However, I might end up daily driving it. I do extremely difficult and tedious activities on my computer just for fun and I... Source: about 1 year ago

• Is the Gentoo Wiki down?

  I can't access any of the gentoo.org services at this time (forums, bugs, etc.) They all report server errors. Source: over 1 year ago
