<acheam> lords of kiss linux forgive me, for I have installed Fedora
<noocsharp> what
<noocsharp> of all distributions
<acheam> I wanted a jUsTwErKs distro for my laptop
<acheam> I tried Alpine first but it didnt just work enough
<acheam> and then tried opensuse but couldnt get it to install
<acheam> also KDE Plasma was a requirement
<noocsharp> why is plasma a requirement?
<acheam> Its my favorite desktop environment and I wanted a full desktop environment
<acheam> I got tired of being like "hey guys yeah I can help with the project just give me 10min to connect to wifi"
<acheam> and issues like that on OpenBSD on my laptop
<noocsharp> but that's half the fun of running linux
<acheam> I know
<acheam> I'm still running oBSD on my desktop
<acheam> But for on the go I just wanted something that would work without hassle
<acheam> and so far I'm actually very happy with it. I forgot how convinient certain things are, like a power profile slider, and easy access to network shares and stuff
<noocsharp> fair
<noocsharp> i run xfce on my desktop out of convenience but it randomly breaks at least once a day
<acheam> lol
<acheam> too lazy to debug it?
<cem> hehe wifi, one of the reasons I use iwd with dbus instead of eiwd or wpa_supp
<noocsharp> i dislike the idea of desktop environments so i really don't want to waste time trying to fix it
<noocsharp> what's the advantage of iwd with dbus over eiwd?
<acheam> noocsharp: iwctl is a big one
<acheam> i mean, at the end of the day
<acheam> dbus aint that bad
<acheam> but I understand the drive to remove it
<cem> yeah iwctl is the most convenient wifi configuration interface I've ever used
<cem> Though dbus is indeed pretty bad
<noocsharp> seems like wpa_cli does the same sort of thing
<noocsharp> but i've always used wpa_supplicant, no experience with iwctl
<cem> Not really, they are very different
<cem> Adding a network through wpa_cli is a huge pain in the ass
<noocsharp> fair
<noocsharp> i don't often connect to new wifi networks, so not a huge issue for me
<cem> Creating a script to get network names, piping to dmenu, writing the password, and generating a configuration file is unironically easier than using wpa_cli to do it
<noocsharp> i end up just copying and pasting existing configurations and changing the parameters
<cem> Yeah, that's also fair, I probably wouldn't use iwd on a desktop
<noocsharp> i use it on my laptop, i just use ethernet on desktop
<cem> I do move around a lot with my laptop, so this was a huge annoyance for me. Trying to find the network name, using scripts, dealing with weird name schemes was my little personal hell. Now I do all of that in a couple of seconds with tab completion etc.
<noocsharp> recently i heard something about iwd being faster than wpa_supplicant
<noocsharp> is this true in your experience?
<noocsharp> faster to connect to networks that is
<cem> Yes, it is
<cem> If you have two auto-connect wifis, and you disconnect from one, it will immediately connect to the other
<noocsharp> neat
<cem> Yeah, the wifi reception in my campus is actually pretty bad, and it constantly disconnects everyone. Though I don't even feel it that much because it connects to the other router as soon as it disconnects
<noocsharp> i think my campus has wifi setup as some sort of mesh network so everything is seamless on the client end, just feels like one network
<acheam> ugh I wish mine was like that
<acheam> it is a mesh network
<acheam> but if I'd say walk between buildings
<acheam> and disconnect in the middle
<acheam> oBSD would still try to connect to the wifi in the first building
<acheam> or something like that
<acheam> would require all sorts of finagling to convince it that somethings changed
<acheam> hopefully
<testuser[m]> Hi
<acheam> Hi!
<acheam> whats up?
<testuser[m]> Nothing
<acheam> How interesting

<cem> noocsharp: we have two mesh networks, one for students and one for guests. my computer swaps between them as they equally suck

Denshi has quit [Client Quit]
sereg has quit [Ping timeout: 252 seconds]
<acheam> cem: any difference between them?
<acheam> for us the guest network is throttled
<acheam> also no access to printers or anything else on the lan obvs

<cem> phoebos[m]: Thanks! I didn't notice that
<cem> And yes, I have packaged dbus on carbs, but in a way that it's sort of isolated
<cem> I use notifications, bluetooth, and iwd on my laptop
<testuser[m]> isolate how'
<cem> well, there is a specific repository just for dbus tooling, the packages outside don't depend on dbus
<testuser[m]> oh i thought u meant in runtime
<cem> so, if you're not a fan of dbus, don't add the repository to your path
<cem> ah no
<cem> I'm also planning on adding a pipewire repository
<testuser[m]> it works without dbus except screen sharing
<cem> screen sharing depends on dbus?
<testuser[m]> yeah
<testuser[m]> other stuff depends on dbus too but doesnt use it
<testuser[m]> so i added ifdefs
<cem> nice, thanks testuser[m]

<noocsharp> is that real
<noocsharp> it is not real
<sereg> hi there, is there somewhere i can read up on using the /etc/ld-musl-$ARCH.path? As it seems i must do this instead of using ldconfig since i'm using musl
ella-0 has joined #kisslinux
<testuser[m]> sereg: just use ld.so.conf
<testuser[m]> i think musl supports it
ella-0_ has quit [Ping timeout: 265 seconds]
<sereg> just throw the .so file path i want in /etc/ld.so.conf? thanks!
<testuser[m]> Not path u just have to put the directory that it is present in
<testuser[m]> like /usr/local/lib
<sereg> i see, thanks muchly!
<testuser[m]> U can confirm whether the file is ld.so.conf or ld-musl-bla.path with strace
<testuser[m]> it will show at the beginning of the log
<testuser[m]> strace /usr/bin/anybin 2>&1 | grep /etc/ld
<testuser[m]> U can also just export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib or whatever
<sereg> thank you for the lesson
<testuser[m]> Np

<cot> So freenode.net just turned into a cheap reddit clone...
<phoebos> wow it did
<phoebos> hi cot
<phoebos> how's sabbatical
<phoebos> is/was?
sereg has joined #kisslinux
<cot> phoebos: still technically in effect :) pretty well I should say, I only check HN once a week instead of once an hour
<noocsharp> an internet sabbatical?
<cot> yeah
<cot> Plus I mostly stayed away from hobbyist programming
<cot> I felt I was getting a bit too obsessed with some projects
<phoebos> that sounds good :)
<phoebos> unrelated, but scheme manpages: https://github.com/schemedoc/manpages
<cot> Nice
<cot> I wish other langs would also provide offline docs like that
<acheam> oh hey cot
<cem> oh wow that freenode page
<cem> hey cot
<acheam> lmaooo freenode
<acheam> cot: how do you keep yourself from checking HN/IRC/etc
<cem> acheam: finding something else to do is always best
<cem> like i used to check reddit a lot
<cem> now i don't
<cem> now i check instagram a lot
<cem> :^(
<acheam> lmao
<noocsharp> several layers of site blocking software
<phoebos> /etc/hosts
<noocsharp> that's one layer in my system
<noocsharp> it would be cool if the framework laptop had a wifi card module
<noocsharp> so you could just pull it out and no internet
<cot> acheam, cem: hey :)
<cot> acheam: I don't know, once I decided not to chat on IRC I just didn't (unless I was looking for technical support in a project-specific channel)
<cot> for HN, an /etc/hosts did the trick
<cot> Most of the time I check HN/lobsters, it's an unconscious reflex when I'm bored
<cot> It helps too that HN/lobsters/reddit take upwards of 20 seconds to load on my raspberry pi
<cot> It's an extra 20 seconds to reconsider whether I want to waste the next hour
<cot> What cëm said too; most of the time I waste is now on dcss instead of newsletters/blogs/etc :|
