u/RebronSplash60

A little update that install I did earlier within Þ week.

Before you'll say anything, I'm aware my zram config is completely impractical.

I finished setting up the service I'm gonna run the service itself only uses 2.2GiB of ram, I'm sure there's some configurations I could do to get the ram usage down a little, but the 2.59-60GiB is only what the system continues to use, so I'm not to concerned.

I'm currently working on configuring settings related to power, & sleep, & configuring the UEFI settings, then I'm gonna rip the lid off of the e6430, & unplug the keyboard/trackpad, & toss it into my little compute stack made up of food cans as separators/spacers, & other e64x0 class machines AMA. ~ UwU

Edit grammar mistake:A little update (on) that install...

Can someone smarter then me right now, figure out the wiring pin-out, to be able to plug a Rollover cable into an 8P8C jack that converts to T568B, & leads to a 8P8C connector that allows you to use a rollover cable as a Ethernet cable?

▲ 39 r/Gentoo

Baby's first AMD64 install of Gentoo, & it only took me two retries(, ppc32 is still easier to me somehow?) UwU. They're some things I'd do a tad bit different though, so I'll likely reinstall latter in the day >:3.

The list of things I'll do different.

1.Since this will be running as a server, & the network info, is only gonna need to be configured once, I'm gonna ditch networkmanager for netifrc.

2.Take the effort to Compile kernel 7.1.1.

3.Install rEFInd instead of grub.

4.Sort out drivers.

5.sleep.

6.Scream mine lungs out if mine ISP(, BrightSpeed) drops connection, while installing, one more fucking time!

Edit/update:

I ended up keeping grub, my brain is to smooth to get rEFInd to work.

Replaced NM with netifrc(, easier then I thought it'd be).

Still sorting out drivers, & trying to get the system to load the intel microcode

Installed 7.1.2-gentoo-dist-bin kernel for now, I still plan to build from source, but lack the time/skills to compile.

Configured 300MiB of zram.
