Re: [gentoo-user] best CAD app for industrial machining/molding?
Technically Blender can do everything (i feel like this sentence needs no context). But Blender is also hard to learn and might be overkill. If you arent also interested in Cinematic Scene Design or the thousand other things blender can do ‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐ Am Montag, 19.

Re: [gentoo-user] per package parallel build
Hi, since some people recommended distcc i want to add icecream (or icecc) by SUSE https://github.com/icecc/icecream It is based on distcc but can automaticly schedule things, do some networking and is system agnostic. Since it works perfectly fine with portage i have it as my default. When i dont have access to my compile machines it just uses my laptop and works fine. Another thing that speeds up compile time significantly is putting your tmpdir in the RAM. https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Portage_TMPDIR_on_tmpfs Khaosgrille publickey - Khaosgrille@protonmail.com - 0xE78BC986.asc Description: application/pgp-keys signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
Re: [gentoo-user] Re: tab-grouping in Firefox
Hi, i made good experience with "Tree Style Tab" so far. Source: https://github.com/piroor/treestyletab https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/tree-style-tab/ As the name suggest it comes with more feature than tab-grouping. You get an additional Tab bar in a tree style. One tab can have as many subtabs as you like and you can hide all subtabs. Since it is not designed to fully replace the normal tab bar you can hide it with a shortcut.
