Wtf I can't unsee this shit

A thread on the site which shall not be named convinced me that a majority of the books are recently published and with above average to highly scored on reviews, so I bought it.
Why the Linux Firewalls book hails from 2007 is a strange outlier.
Not sure where you got the 25kb number from.
This tool is written in go and is a 7.8 MB compiled binary.
Force uninstalled glibc on my Gentoo, which basically broke every shell and binary on the system. Was able to repair in place because I
- Had already compiled busybox statically
- Still had a copy of the stage 3 tarball on / which I could use to 'restore' glibc libraries
Ah, the ol' switcharoo

I'm using Gentoo with systemd and a customized kernel, and additionally I have the
/usr
partition LUKS encrypted. Because/usr
is absolutely essential for systemd to function, I configured dracut to make a specially crafted initrd which activates the luks lvm and prompts for the password to decrypt and mount/usr
on startup before systemd init tries to run.About a year or two ago, some update to dracut or some other dependency (assumption) caused the dracut generated initrd's to kernel panic. After multiple days of troubleshooting, I discovered that just copying forward an older initrd in
/boot
and naming it to match the new kernel, e.g.initramfs-6.6.38-gentoo.img
, allows the system to boot normally .So, my Gentoo is booting a kernel
6.6.something
with a ramdisk generated in the5.9
kernel era. I am dreading the day when this behavior breaks and I can no longer update my kernel 😳
