[gentoo-user] Distfiles cache setup

Hi all, I have been running several Gentoo machines here at my house, and am currently up to 7 (or was it 8?) installs. I have been trying to reduce my resource consumption and set up an rsync mirror long ago, so my [acting] server only syncs to the internet and all other devices point to it.

[gentoo-user] journald writing errors in tty

Does anyone know how to stop journald from writing errors all over my terminal? I've never seen this before. The error message shows up in dmesg as it's supposed to but it also writes it whereever the cursor happens to be which is extremely frustating. I've set ForwardToWall=no and

[gentoo-user] Missing python binding?

I am trying magick-rotation to see if it will work on my Surface Pro 3 (they tested in on a Surface Pro 2 and it was working, unsure if the hardware is different.) However: I get this: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python-exec/python2.7/magick-rotation", line 20, in
