I’m using it right now, at least for personal project development. It’s surprisingly reliable. Aside from the well-known USE flags that let you nitpick stuff at compile time letting me mix newer stuff while keeping the rest stable.

I do have my complaints:

• it’s rolling release, making it less fitting for production use, tho not as bleeding edge as Arch
• the package management logic could perhaps be more robust; one of my pet peeves is that it keeps pulling the latest version of Python despite not being used
• some slight, relatively meaningless changes in package metadata might trigger recompilation
• the default configurations might not be the most sane

I have found sweet spot and preserved my configuration here for anyone to use.

I feel like Indonesian is what Esperanto could’ve been.

So many old computers & calculators here.

I have an Apple IIe, but at the moment it’s at my friend’s place. What I have with me are a bunch of Thinkpads: a barely working X60, a fine X200 with busted battery, and a combination of 20 and 30 series ones I am currently using.

May I insert some additions of analog here?

I got a Rotel RA-04 audio amp from 2006 from my dad that I am currently using, and I’m sure there are older stuff where it’s from.

Aside from that, a Yaesu FT-60 FM transceiver made in 2004 still running strong.

Why is it in Java??
