@yeti I was half-kidding btw. I always at least make a ~/bin directory and you make a good argument for the others. But yeah, making every program play along is another story.
@yeti@spnw the nice thing about mirroring / in your home directory is that you can install software and libraries in your home directory with the least hassle given you have the relevant environment variables set. I was heavily invested in such a system until I got tired of the nesting I did for my personal files so gave it all up.
(I went as far as patching software to follow my scheme since I was using Alpine+CRUX's package manager, and later just CRUX.)
@yeti@viz I'm curious about what 20+ year old hardware you're keeping alive? :)
I haven't seen anything about OpenBSD dropping 32-bit, I might have missed it. Slackware still supports 32-bit and uses SysVinit, though it hasn't had a stable release in two years.
@yeti@spnw considering how CRUX maintainers are numbered, I'm not surprised by the lack of architecture support. I wonder if Alpine fairs better since you can easily play with core posts of it. If I'm not wrong, I replaced OpenRC with another init system without hassle.
@yeti@spnw definitely. Right now, installing to /usr/local/ works but it feels unclean even though Debian leaves it to the user clearly for these purposes.
