/var/git/meta-repo/repos.conf

[[Off] Plymouth Theme]

[Dropbox changes]

I would like to bring up some alternatives to dropbox as dropbox is proprietary and also doesn't have very good security history.

Security issues:

• http://www.economist.com/blogs/babbage/2011/05/internet_security
• http://dereknewton.com/2011/04/dropbox-authentication-static-host-ids/

Alternatives:

• Nextcloud
  • If you don't mind setting up your own server, NextCloud is a great Dropbox alternative because:
    • it's open source,
    • you control your data,
    • the limit of your storage is determined only by the limit of your hard drive.
• Syncthing
• Cozy
• IPFS

From those I would recommend syncthing it is really set and forget with auto-updates etc.

 

[which older tools are deprecated with kits?]

eix is working also with kits (probably as Oleg states you need to change gentoo => core-kit)

eix-sync will actually call ego sync and then eix-diff  and eix-update

so eix-sync also works

[new kits, master branch [SOLVED]]

No, for now you have to edit /etc/ego.conf.

Ego config set|get command is on its way to ego in version 2.3.2 (still has some open bugs - https://bugs.funtoo.org/browse/FL-4454)

[funtoo repo appears behind gento repo]

packages and distfiles have moved to /var/cache/portage/{packages,distfiles}

[KRACK Attacks: Breaking WPA2]

A new wireless attack techniques discovered. The weaknesses are in the Wi-Fi standard itself, and not in individual products or implementations. Therefore, any correct implementation of WPA2 is likely affected. To prevent the attack, users must update affected products as soon as security updates become available. Note that if your device supports Wi-Fi, it is most likely affected.

[Funtoo is now 100% SSL]

Perfect. :)
