j-g- your art skills are AMAZING... im a big fan of the website watermark thing.... (heres the css to said watermark) https://userstyles.org/styles/105757/funtoo-water-mark

sorry drobbins, winters coming, and this -23 Celsius shit drives me crazy, i have alot of time to think about things. my quest is to wake from recurring dreams, to the collective recurring dream people call reality. ok personal philosophy... im a pantheist, meaning i see nature as god, and science as the quest to know god. i am a very small part of nature therefore i am small part of god. my parents are my creator, and they are of nature. im observing what's right in front of me..... personal meaning of life.... the meaning of life to me is to create a better world than i was given for my children, and their childrens children. my work ethic is next to insane. ill work to the bone for zero pay to these ends. im a how and why kind of person, "because" is not a sufficient answer. i do acknowledge i do not know everything, and sometimes i have to accept "i dont know how it works but it does" as an answer. programmatic unbalanced equations with fractal recursion, of infinite loops, and applied mathematics.... just as a computer program can feed back in on its self and perpetually load my dreams consist of using applied mathematics to make this problem a real world problem. i want to harness the power of the infinite loop, that leads back to its starting point to give another power cycle. how this works, the chain on the right side is longer, and heavier than on the left. the equation is unbalanced, and feeds back into its self. its a natural fractal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QRKzwgG_-U this one is like swinging on a swing set, you pump, and relax at specific times... you accumulate more energy than you put into it. only a robot is doing the pumping...

this dude's got the right idea!

ive been watching it get posted page by page for a while now.... i think i started at page 1 maybe it was like 4 or something its been a long time.... that last page totally had me laughing for a good 5 minutes straight.

friends of friends are running an online comic book series. give it a whirl, its website is built on top of drupal, its forum is simple machines forum. https://satanninja.com/comic/satan-ninja-198x/issue-1-video-dreamer/cover

maybe you should make a more default mediawiki like skin to make it less of a shock to people, so they could gradually be conditioned into it.

my xfce4 found ala http://i.imgur.com/4YVxVni.jpg mines sparkly

right, were a documentation driven distribution as is arch, gentoo, and linux from scratch... look at our mediawiki ebuild, i doubt you'll find such an excellent mediawiki cheat sheet anywhere.... why document more than what you have insane tweeks of? to let people know where to get general info, and all the tweeks they need to know. i started documenting @ gentoo to address forum posts so i could have a manual to point at when a recurring problem came up, i could repeatedly answer with a link. instead of 50 thousand threads with hurricanes of chatter going on, you get a concise document, that is incrementally improved. think of it like forums, but cheat codes of the universe instead of chatter, and filler text. forums, think of as having to read 30 posts that are not helpful to find 20 useful posts. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mediawiki <--- junky http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Mediawiki <---- really junky http://www.funtoo.org/Package:MediaWiki#Tips_and_Tricks <---- excellent cheat codes im working on building this: http://www.funtoo.org/Web-server-stack so that our page can be stack choices agnostic, i can serve mediawiki via lighttpd, nginx + phpfpm, or apache. right now i only know mysql, but im sure eventually postgresql, mariadb, percona, or what ever else database will be a well documented choice also.

ill second the joe dirt mullet.... that's pretty fun http://www.classicforwards.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/awkward_mullet3.jpg

/pkgname is old scheme prefer package:boot-update especially if there is an ebuild. some things like iptables need moved to new scheme & old page deleted. hitting the talk page of the page with request for deletion/migration will bump a recent revision notification on the feed of recently changed pages.

i made some dead larry goodies.... with all that alpha channel goodness

avast ye matey, me perls be filthy! ARRRR!!!!

no problem, all 3 solutions can be installed on the same system also.... use 1 at a time..... just /etc/init.d/NetworkManager stop && /etc/init.d/wicd start or other way around or stop both of those and /etc/init.d/wpa_supplicant start && /etc/init.d/netif.wlan0 start (my machine actually has all 3, but i use networkmanager)

i did a lot of gentoo's wiki and ill be the first to tell you funtoo's GREAT compared to gentoo.... issue 4 absolutely NOT... if you find anything in issue 4 bug reports are taken seriously, and resolved quickly.... (except the compiz 9.11 ebuild needs to be unforked) (but compiz isnt essential to a functioning system) he said every upgrade vincent, ive had this system for around 6 months, and haven't had problems with it being insolvent. if your system goes unbootable there are things to do to resolve that, like paste emerge log, and forward it to forums or irc....

good plan. do the most helpful stuff and big stuff, and let the details sort themselves out....

wicd is horrible in my experience. rather than use="networkmanager' id emerge networkmanger once you connect to your ap, you can then look at the funtoo networking wiki page and get it rolling as wpa_supplicant & /etc/init.d/netif.wlan0

lol ive gathered that much... at first i just merge, then i start to glance around at things.... fcgi scripts generally dont need init scripts. the part that im going to need help with is the aliasing and proper loading into web servers. :unsure: i have 1 example of loading cgi on gentoos wiki and thats the bugzilla install wiki, and that took me months to figure out.

thanks overkill... resolved... 802.11e qos/wmm disabled & channel changed from 8 to 10 did the trick. i disabled everything not necessary and was still getting the problems. tried pings from laptop and noted lag every 4 seconds tried pings from laptop usb noted lag every 4 seconds tried live media noted lag every 4 seconds...... lol NO BUGS just bad configs... thanks again for putting up with this garbage on the forums....

j-g- i realize what you're saying.... im going to wiki it from scratch, if its maintained it might as well have excellent documentation especially since its an auditing tool. im just trying to smooth over the initial deployment for the time being. the config it ships with is bad.... doesnt make that dir god this is such a shitty mess im probably going to need help on this one.....

im going to compile some notes here before i post a bug & or wiki.... maybe we need a bug dumpster forum? my pings are back to being bad from the ping insanity thread. i tested against wpa_supplicant and its dropping high pinging etc also.... mkultra@spaceball-1 ~ $ smokeping ERROR: /etc/smokeping/config, line 13: Directory '/run/smokeping' does not exist sudo mkdir /run/smokeping mkultra@spaceball-1 ~ $ smokeping WARNING: Hostname 'james.address' does currently not resolve to an IPv6 or IPv4 address ERROR: mkdir /var/lib/smokeping/Test: Permission denied root@spaceball-1 /home/mkultra # smokeping WARNING: Hostname 'james.address' does currently not resolve to an IPv6 or IPv4 address Note: logging to syslog as local0/info.

ath5k wireless 802.11g Ethernet controller: Qualcomm Atheros AR5212/AR5213 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) my laptop ath9k adaptor gets less signal and is half the processor and ram, its ping spikes are 1/2 of these on the desktop. (notice laptop is gentoo, not funtoo) (im going to test masking latest glib-networking) testing masking glib-networking shows what happened. latest world update changed libsoup-gnome from 2.44.2 to 2.46.0 rolling back libsoup & libsoup gnome --- 192.168.2.1 ping statistics --- 24 packets transmitted, 24 received, 0% packet loss, time 23021ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.799/1.707/7.295/1.413 ms testing more..... still not fixed.... (i moved the box around and woke up to it working properly)

im experiencing periodic packet loss... something changed within the last month that is causing this.... (at least im pretty sure it just started, ive been able to get clean clean signals to my local counter strike servers before) tested old kernel 3.13.7 problem still present ruled out networkmanager, same versions been installed the entire time net-misc/networkmanager-0.9.8.2-r2 almost ruled out wpa_supplicant net-wireless/wpa_supplicant-2.1-r1 (original install) (net-wireless/wpa_supplicant-2.2-r1 now) glib-networking is getting dirty looks from me....
