[2026-02-19T09:28:05Z] <broke> Perhaps might not be a good question to ask here, but what do yall think of Oasis, Stali (Static Linux) and all that? Both unmaintained projects like KissLinux (Unmainted by founders). I was thinking of using an operating system within this philosophy of >>> https://sta.li/faq <<< But I'm not sure if this is possible with KissLinux. I am aiming to use Xlibre+Ratpoison as my WM. Or perhaps aim for a 
[2026-02-19T09:28:11Z] <broke> TTY(with MPV) and run games over with Xlibre. I know what this project is about from the main website. I am fine with doing all the rest of whatever I have to do, but if what my aim is not possible with KissLinux which feels like an LFS distro kinda, I wanna know.
[2026-02-19T09:28:31Z] <broke> I also like the BSDs hier(7) of which some I want to incorporate into my system.
[2026-02-19T09:29:25Z] <broke> Not quite exactly but somewhat similar, what my idea is.
[2026-02-19T11:23:03Z] <Ozymandias42> broke what's the aim here? I read the FAQ you linked but I don't get the goal.
[2026-02-19T11:28:10Z] <sad_plan> Ozymandias42: I think his goal was to have a statically linked system. which oasis does provide. derivelinux also provides this. my oakiss does probably fit what he wants. more or less anyway
[2026-02-19T11:30:11Z] <sad_plan> technically he would have to port over full xorg though, as the repo currently only contains tinyx from the x stack. I have a repo with proper xorg locally, but never bothered to put it into the repo
[2026-02-19T11:40:14Z] <Ozymandias42> sad_plan: I got that. But I meant I do not get the point _of_ the statically linked system. This kind of feels fallen out of time, what with containertech and NixOS being a thing now
[2026-02-19T11:40:38Z] <Ozymandias42> at least when I assume the point was security oriented
[2026-02-19T17:39:38Z] <midfavila> -40 today
[2026-02-19T17:39:39Z] <midfavila> gotta love it
[2026-02-19T17:39:55Z] <midfavila> it was +8 just the other day
[2026-02-19T17:39:59Z] * midfavila sobs 
[2026-02-19T20:30:36Z] <sad_plan> Ozymandias42: a statically linked system makes the system less prone to breakage on abi changes in libraries. you know like whehn you update a library, and all of a sudden several of your packages break? just like that, except it doesnt happen when things are statically linked
[2026-02-19T20:31:13Z] <sad_plan> midfavila: thats harch man. we had -15 today, and I though that was bad. was -20 in the town over, and even thats bad imo lol
[2026-02-19T20:41:45Z] <midfavila> canada just sucks in general 
[2026-02-19T20:41:49Z] <midfavila> awful weather is nothing new
[2026-02-19T20:58:42Z] <sad_plan> isnt summers good though?
[2026-02-19T21:01:14Z] <sad_plan> here winters are bad. theyre just not wintery enough. its often mild, but the snow never sits, so it often melts, and freezes again. fall is basically just rain. summers are often overcast, and we're lucky if we get a few weeks of decent weather... rest is.. yeah overcast, or raining...
[2026-02-19T21:08:48Z] <midfavila> summers suck ass
[2026-02-19T21:08:54Z] <midfavila> 50C+ and now we get enormous wildfires
[2026-02-19T21:14:39Z] <sad_plan> lol, theres like no middleground there. eithers its like -50 and everything turns into popcicles, or its blazing hot and everything gets burned
[2026-02-19T21:25:30Z] <midfavila> yes
[2026-02-19T21:25:31Z] <midfavila> it sucks
[2026-02-19T21:25:45Z] <midfavila> the only good thing about the place i live now is its low cost relatively speaking
[2026-02-19T21:25:50Z] <midfavila> and that's mostly a result of nobody wanting to live here
[2026-02-19T21:25:52Z] * midfavila dies
[2026-02-19T21:29:19Z] <sad_plan> right..
