Afternoon all,
Is there something special for me to set in the kernel config to enable it to
find the root partition? I copied the config from 5.4.38, ran oldconfig and
followed most of the suggested answers; but it won't boot.

I masked the latest version of plasma-meta, 5.18.5, when it appeared last

Is there a straightforward way of listing kernel modules that exist but
haven't been loaded? I'm sure I have quite a number that I don't need, and I'd
like to remove them from the kernel config.

Hello list,
I discovered this package today and wondered whether anyone here had any
experience of it. Which overlay to get it from? How stable is it? Does it
really "privatise" chromium? Does it allow extensions like ublock-origin?
I'm happy with firefox, but it never hurts to have a choice.

Hello list,
I want to set up a web server on a local box, and I'm following the Gentoo
guide[1]. I'd like two sites: one under /var/www/localhost and the other under
/var/www/mydomain, in which mydomain is registered to me.
The main problem I'm having is that all the Gentoo documents I've

Hello list,
I decided to have another go at fixing my nfs setup. The host 192.168.1.4

Hello list,
This is www-client/firefox-68.5.0. From time to time, when I switch desktops
to it, FF doesn't show the tab bar. The odd thing about it is that the mouse
