[gentoo-user] an efficient idea for an alternative portage synchronisation

[gentoo-user] why libera?

2021-05-28 Thread caveman رَجُلُ الْكَهْفِ
hi. i personally think gentoo should've gone to OFTC instead of libera, because: - OFTC is the true libera, thanks to its better tor support, which is not surprising as it is the home of the tor project. - OFTC has more users at the moment, and is specifically designed for FOSS projects.
