02:26 <midfavila> bep

02:26 <midfavila> if any of you haven't tried those little japanese curry tablets you absolutely need to

02:26 <midfavila> amazing weeknight dinner cheat

02:26 <midfavila> some of those in a pot with a scoop of frozen veg can cook in the time it takes to throw a single person's portion of rice and lentils in a rice cooker

02:27 <midfavila> full dinner with minimal cleanup for one in like

02:27 <midfavila> ten minutes

02:27 <midfavila> that's technology right there

02:27 <midfavila> same deal with uhhhh like indian curry paste too usually

02:27 <midfavila> there's these really solid ones that i can get at the shop for maybe 2.50, and one packet is enough for two portions

02:28 <midfavila> good stuff

02:55 <kris_> ive had a really fun day due to gcc 14

02:56 <kris_> if i ever actually finish my distro there's not a chance in the world anything important is built with gcc instead of clang

02:57 <kris_> anyway bouncer going down again for a bit i'll be back later

03:06 <kris_> midfavila first i'm hearing of curry paste

03:13 <midfavila> kris_ you're missing out

03:13 <midfavila> i usually get either patak or kitchens of india

03:13 <midfavila> kitchens of india is nice because it's all individually portioned

03:14 <midfavila> you just like

03:14 <midfavila> in the case of the indian curry pastes i've used

03:14 <midfavila> chop of your veg and meat, saute, add the paste and sometimes a little water and butter and then you let it simmer

03:14 <midfavila> and then boom

03:14 <midfavila> the japanese stuff is even easier

03:15 <midfavila> comes in these waxy tablets

03:15 <midfavila> literally just add to a pot of water and simmer until dissolved

03:15 <midfavila> add whatever you'd like and you're off

03:15 <midfavila> tonight i was using "vermont curry" which is like a milder, sweeter curry

03:15 <midfavila> but usually i prefer golden curry or glico

04:55 <kris_> midfavila yeah i may try it later

04:55 <kris_> sorry my bouncer has been in and out because gcc 14 broke LXC which downed literally all of my public or public-esque infra

04:56 <kris_> clang when

07:30 <kris_> finally everything back up

08:06 <fultilt> kris_: Do you really mean gcc 14, or gcc 15?

08:07 <kris_> 14. i run all of my servers atop void and an lxc rebuild was just triggered so the fact it was broken with the newly updated gcc kinda flew under the radar

20:29 <drmcstsr> Hello! I'm planning on switching to kiss linux because I've had it even with artix and i have several questions.

20:29 <drmcstsr> 1. Is bare alsa really sufficient or i will need a sound server on top of it?

20:31 <drmcstsr> 2. How hard it is to setup printers and scanners?

20:47 <llvmisbetter> Any idea on how to install kisslinux with encryption as the cryptsetup and lvm2 packages are not available in the community repos?

22:26 <riteo> drmcstsr: 1. it depends really on your usecase. I'm personally using PipeWire also for other reasons but I must say that it's pretty darn comfy

22:27 <riteo> like, from what I can tell, it makes amplification (more than 100%) easier and gives extra compatbility "out of the box" compared to say, using apulse or stuff like that

22:27 <riteo> also if you need to do screensharing from Wayland PipeWire + dbus (i know) is the best bet

22:29 <riteo> for 2. I'm currently running an older version of cups (no idea what the latest packaged version is) with a funky package for my old-ass printer, which I start on demand to print the occasional document or two. Note that the latest printers with real IPP and stuff like that are really, really compatible and there's a good chance that you might even be able to netcat data straight to it. In other words, as it's usual with printing, YM

22:29 <riteo> MV, but it's definitely possible

22:29 <riteo> (thank you IRC, it split YMMV)

22:30 <riteo> This distro is not that "hard" since it has made packaging and package forking stupid simple. Bundled with (mostly) very small and interoperable software, it makes for a killer in regards to system tweaking. You just have to overcome the fear of getting your hands dirty

22:34 <drmcstsr> riteo: The only new thing for me is gonna be compiling my own kernel i guess. Other than that i have no problems with getting my hands dirty. My printer and scanner both need specific firmware and what i fear is the fact that it will be much more hard to set them up by hand instead of getting an easy solution from AUR.

22:44 <kris_> it's not horribly bad

22:44 <kris_> usually if you don't know what to do for XYZ package you can just reference another distros package, i usually look at apkbuilds for references

23:02 <riteo> drmcstsr: in all likelyhood it's "just" a cups plugin. The new versions seem to have changed the arcitecture somewhat so I think that I still stick to the 2.x series or something

23:02 <riteo> as long as it's open source you should not have too many problems

23:02 <riteo> the weakness of "alternative" distros like this is that 99% of precompiled binaries are guaranteed to not run

23:03 <riteo> without containers or crap, hence why I installed flatpak on my machine so that I can consoom my favourite games ;)

23:11 <drmcstsr> Good thing i stopped gaming altogether, made my life ten times better and my view of hardware and software crystal clean

23:13 <drmcstsr> Welp, i am definitely going to try KISS

23:14 <drmcstsr> probably with wayland, even

23:14 <riteo> :D

23:14 <riteo> feel free to ask here for any issues!

23:14 <drmcstsr> thanks!

23:52 <drmcstsr> kiss fails to download gmp tarball

23:54 <drmcstsr> if i simply ignore gmp for now will there be any troubles?
