My previous attempt to LFS went for 12 days. I was going for a 32Bit build, built on a true 32bit Intel CPU. Laptop I was using is from 2007. I had many issues with files probably caused by file corruption, after all it has a ~11 years old HDD. Let it die in peace.

I started building LFS from scratch for 64bit using my daily driver laptop. This week is spent doing the same thing (building toolchain) for a 64bit AMD CPU.

Started #linuxfromscratch on 1st June 2019

Day 1 of #linuxfromscratch
1. Got a laptop (Pentium CPU + 1GiB RAM)
2. Installed Manjaro Xfce 32bit to use as Host OS (that thing is using around 240MiB RAM at idle)
3. UPDATE & UPGRADE
4. Download LFS 8.4 Stable book.
5. Get necessary development packages on Host OS
6. Setting up environment variables
Stopped at page 16 - Chapter 2.6
Spent around 3 hours

@kev and @mike
I would appreciate if you reminded me to share my daily progress about LFS.

Key to a successful life is learning from others' experiences.

Here is one of the most comprehensive longitudinal studies in history. It is about staying happy and healthy as we go through life :

web.archieve.org is cencored/blocked where I live.
Thanks to #ProtonVPN , I seem to be not here. Therefore I can access.

It is so hot that only way to sleep is to faint while laying on the bed.

Help wanted from ladies !

How do I wash those white stains away from my grey pijama?

I hate having problems with some services not accepting some special characters in their password.

Why 7digital? Why can't I have open bracket in my password?

I am thinking about using heat spreaders to cool my body.
Which thermal pastes are the most human skin friendly?

Note: don't recommend toothpaste. It is NOT skin friendly

I am working on a #linuxfromscratch projects and it is very close to end. 1 of the final step is to configure Grub to boot into LFS system.
I accidentally overwrote the boot entry of my daily driver system. A quick boot into bootable USB I had in hand for rescue was a great idea.

Can I take notes by tooting direct messages to myself?

So I have been favouriting songs and musics I like on Yandex Music then downloading them to listen offline.
Problem is that all those musics are locked with DRM.

Unfortunately most are missing from #bandcamp so I need alternatives for purchasing DRM free song.
I will try Amazon and Google Music. Is it possible to purchase a music on iTunes and use outside of iTunes?

Many be a bit late for #ScreenshotSunday but anyway

I am happy to say that chapter 6 finished. That means I currently have a not bootable LFS system.

Chapter 6 was all about compiling the libraries and binaries that make a part of the operating system. Next captures will be about configuring I assume.

I knew that operating system was not a single software but a collection of many tiny programs but I never thought it would be that much involved. OS is not a 1 man's job.

Update for day 12 & 13 of #LFS

I used Ubuntu in the past just like almost every linux newbie. Ubuntu uses systemd. So I thought I should go for systemd for my LFS setup. And I did. But I also heard that systemd is probably the most bloated/sluggish daemon manager for Linux distros.
Did I made a mistake with going systemd? I am still compiling and didn't install it yet.
Should I switch to something else?

So, I have been compiling and testing package from chapter 6. I am very close to end.
Currently compiling Vim but I am looking for alternatives. Nano most definitely will be 1 of them.
I came across a joke about Ed editor before but I thought it was just a joke. Now I found a guide to compile it for LFS. Is it real or another joke?
