i have a gentoo system with a custom s6-rc service tree that fully replaces openrc and boots via s6-linux-init.

instead of a display manager i have tinydm (from postmarketos) and autologin setup. since i use full-disk encryption and suspend-to-disk i find that i don’t need the extra login step into my user session.

i have a bunch of bemenu-based helpers for wifi, bluetooth, vpn, audio, passwords, mounting drives, etc.

i don’t have polkit or sudo installed. i use doas.

meanwhile random residential internet speeds in tokyo beating out every consumer connection available in my area (and country I assume):

i joined mastodon in 2017. at the time i was also cutting off whatsapp and facebook and was just generally getting deeper into foss and fedi.

at the same time i was a heavy reddit user and was looking for fedi-based alternatives. i was following prismo development for a while, but that never took off.

i eventually joined lemmy in 2020 but never really found the community, that reddit had (and tbf still has for most topics).

last year during the API fiasco i finally made this account and have been pretty happily reading (and sometimes posting) here.

funktionieren bei deren caldav auch VTODOs? ich bin aktuell bei mailfence.com und die haben da kein interesse dran.

abgesehen davon bin ich zufrieden. gerade die option accounts für familie zu managen und dann gemeinsam die groupware (web*, cal* und carddav) nutzen zu können ist cool

i see. binary packages have the potential to be a great compliment to building… right now i tend to agree with you. i often run into my USE config not having bins.

how did gentoo compare to nix then in your experience (excluding bin packages)?

not sure for i3, i think foot is wayland-only. but i have the same setup with sway and am very happy

since you seem to consider alacritty, which is pretty minimal in features, maybe give foot a shot as well. i find it fits best into tiling wm land (sway, river, etc.) so might not be your cup of tea…

so you chord z + right hand keys and : + left hand keys?

i think i could get away with just having ctrl under a/: and maybe shift or super under s/l since i have alt under caps lock

i have been running qmk keyboards with capslock bound to esc on tap, alt when pressed as well + evdoublebind to achieve the same for the laptop’s builtin keyboard

i do like the idea of not having to come off the home row for ctrl-* mappings in vim

what made you switch from nix? i see only hype for it everywhere i look
