The Linux kernel is an ingenious piece of software and I’m pretty confident in compiling it by myself since quite a while – so I was trying to step up the game by doing debian packages. But now as the Kernel supports LTO, it’s time for me to give it a spin. But to be honest, useful documentation […]

Working my way to automatic kernel builds
It’s pretty obvious, that me maintaining the debian kernel repository which I announced in this post is a lot of work as I offer up to 4 flavors – which are ‘vanilla’, ‘vm’ and both for the gentoo patchset, I had to improve my setup.

And in my case this ‘nearly nothing’ was more about the nearly than the nothing as due to the old kernel, fstrim didn’t do its job. So I decided to build a new kernel. But as I am running Gentoo on […]

After I have outlined my idea in the first part >/a>, I will now move on to my favorite topic: Adjusting the system a tad more to match our interests My sysctl Config step by step I believe IPv6 is not that important for our connection to the Tor network, since we can still easily do everything with […]
