  • Part is still waiting to happen

    Our characters were hired in the past to extract the country-level head of security of one of AAA corps. After they did that, in “wishes and stars”, one of the players expressed that it would be cool if things they get in contact with would come back later

    So in close future they will be hired to extract him from a secure train and in doing so they most probably will (unless the decide to fail that mission) antagonize their fixer, which just so happens to be Lofwyr - a great dragon that is the owner of another AAA corp

    And the plan is that in beat climax run the samurai will meet a heavy modified clone of the guy, that is bodyguard of continent-level CEO of the first corp

    The further plan is, that after that beat, this arch will try to explore the reality when cloning is possible.
    I’m sure they’ll be thrilled to meet the first guy again :)

    What is it?
    From one of the projects

    Agregore, a browser for the distributed web, facilitates peer-to-peer data sharing without central servers, supporting protocols like BitTorrent and IPFS for direct loading and sharing of content.

    So instead of putting stuff (like my webpage) on a server, I share it P2P? But then my computer has to run 24/7 which basically makes it a server, right?





  • Maybe you need to wait a bit for federation to kick in?

    I don’t have links at hand, but from some other questions I know that federation is not “download everything the moment someone looks at another instance”. Basically follow something and wait until some new content appears on origin instance. If after that you don’t see the content federated, then it’s time to start asking around







    1. it partitions same things into separate locations One library is here, another one is here, some older version there, which one should this binary load? Where should I point the -L to? Of course, compiling things completely from scratch is unmaintainable anyway (that’s why PKGBUILD was another big point - it’s easy to create your own AUR packages that will get pacman-level maintainability), but sometimes you want to check if that new patch solves your issue
    2. if distro does not care, the packages will have different prefixes I can see some use of /opt. But it should be my decision if I want something installed in /opt/bin or /usr/local/bin. In distros that did not enforce where things are put in, it was all over the place. But to be fair, to me, even bin/sbin separation is bs

  • Unlike Linux, these BSDs have a clear separation of OS from these packages. OS files and data are stored in places like /bin and /etc, while user installed packages get installed to /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/etc.

    What do you consider the OS? Is firefox a part of OS? Is office part of OS?

    On FreeBSD, the freebsd-update command is used for upgrading the OS and the pkg command is used for managing user packages. On OpenBSD, the syspatch command is used for upgrading the OS and the pkg_* commands are used for managing user packages.

    Personally, the ditching of /usr/local mess was one of the selling points of Arch for me, but in a way you could achieve this in Arch. Create a secondary pacman config with RootDir set to /usr/local and alias pacman --config /etc/pacman_local.conf as pkg_pacman
