Well looks like my gcc compile check log pretty much matches with the LFS logs so I must be doing something right xD yay progress!

So I've been waiting for almost a year to find a root method for galaxy s8 g950u (snapdragon) that doesnt have terrible limitations like only 80% battery life and others. I love Samsung but I miss root :(

Watched a whole movie and my code is still compiling xD

Almost gave up on my first LFS build but I re-read the first 5 chapters and used my backed up toolchain to continue chapter 6. Luckily, I have passed the point I was stuck at :) glad I didnt give up or start 100% over.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUCKKKKK!! That is all 🙂🔫

Feels pretty good when you chroot into your first LFS enviornment and nothing breaks (yet..). Also my toolchain seems to be compiling packages correctly so that's a plus :)

Compile..compile..compile xD

So haven't been on devRant in awhile but it's a new year and I definitely have some new goals. For starters, I'm building my first LFS system (on phase 2 of my toolchain atm), which I thought would be way over my head. Apparently, all these arch experiences have paid off xD I've always wanted to truly understand what went on under the hood of linux and maybe after going through this over and over I'll at least understand a little more.

Just another one of my workstations, hologram illusion included xD

Working on something awesome :)

So I think I'm gonna give vscode another chance. I've heard so many good things about it, maybe I just didnt use it long enough. Let's see how well it works in arch xD

Cool, I got psx working great on arch :D Took a lot of tweaking but so far the graphics aren't too terrible and no popcorn sound xD which is surprising given the old hardware I'm using.

Lol clever

Aww.. no php? xD

For the ppl who don't use arch.. What arch you waiting for? xD

Took me a few hours, but managed to finally run Adobe Photoshop CC 2018 on my old school Toshiba laptop running Arch Linux xD Still needs some work, but super happy I got it running :D

Here is a personal project I've been working on lately. It's not public, but just wanted to share. It's a custom chatbot I created using a LAMP stack. Its built on top of a framework called Program-O to handle the knowledgebase storage and processing along with some basic NLP. I added the web speech api functionality myself so it supports recognition as well as speech synthesis. Anyways, pretty proud of this one.

So I've been MIA lately for personal reasons, but think I'm ready to get back into my coding and stuff :) Here's my arch setup that I've been working on recently.

So I've been running into a bug on my arch/budgie system. It's not a huge deal but just something that bothers me a little. Basically, the nm-applet isn't displaying the network icon in the main panel, aka taskbar. Seems to be something specific to budgie maybe? Bc it appears in gnome and the network appears to have started in both cases. Anyways, I've searched around online with no solutions yet :/ A workaround I've had was to install network-manager-applet and have that start up instead. Seems to work until you click the icon and then click away and it disappears, aka I guess kills the process. Any other solutions or has anyone experienced this?

Oh javascript xD

I think my worst habit is that I create too much DRY code. Sometimes code gets repeated when I'm just too focused on getting a feature to work and makes it hard to refactor later :/

Hmm.. wonder what that is referring to xD

Sometimes I spend way too much time on variable names xD

Not bad for a free laptop xD

So it seems that my experience with arch keeps me coming back to the arch linux newbies corner site xD I guess that says it all. On the plus side, I'm learning a lot 😊

Ah the fun part of linux. Patching all these hardware specific bugs after installing a new system xD Well at least I got rid of all the visible ones so far.

Yessss. Took me a few tries throughout the day but I successfully installed arch linux on my laptop :D Any good desktop environment recommendations?

Yay got a working hdd today so now to try installing arch again, this time with gpt table xD

Let the fun begin xD

So today I had a client come in and give me a free "broken" laptop that wouldnt turn on and was covered in grease and what appeared to be dog hair everywhere. So i go through my every day troubleshooting, found the problem and fixed it. Next i disassemble the entire laptop and just start air dusting and cleaning connections like crazy. Now I'm a proud owner of a really old school laptop that I can probably keep alive for another 10 years :) This will be a perfect machine to test arch linux on 😃
