Re: [gentoo-user] Re: High resolution on a 13 inch screen

I'm getting strange results from xdpyinfo. I always get 96x96 DPI and the screen size changes along with the resolution. When I run 'xrandr --dpi 200x200' and check xdpyinfo, it reports correctly. But if I log out and back in to xfce4 without doing anything else, it gives me

[gentoo-user] Lowest common denominator compile

I have a network of very nearly identical Dell XPS 13 laptops that I manage with a script. The master pushes the contents of its filesystem to the others so I only have to manage one system. It's worked really well over several years. I just got a new Dell XPS 13 to serve as the master and

Re: [gentoo-user] Rename /dev/nvme0n1 to /dev/sda

My new laptop uses /dev/nvme0n1 instead of /dev/sda which conflicts with the script I use to manage about 12 similar laptops running Gentoo. Is there a udev method for renaming the disk that will work well with any USB disks that happen to also be attached?

I would add gitolite to the recommendation list, as it is a small but powerful system: the administration interface is a git repository as well, so each repository/user can be individually configured without accessing system files: http://gitolite.com/gitolite/ -- Alberto

Hi, I fear I have a severe case of too many trees in the way to see the forest. I have a git server, it only runs git. All the sysadmins have full access using ssh://, their keys are in git's authorized_keys, the repos are owned git:git, MODE 770, etc etc, and it works like it should. I want an
