I want to get more points in speedometer 3 using firefox. I've seen results above 20-24, but I can't get more than 12 because js takes a long time to process. What to do? Rebuild firefox with the -0fast flag?? Or do something with config. I use some fixes in it which just extend limits for everything (almost)

Any suggestions are welcome

So, I have a desktop that has a single-core/2-threads Pentium 4 CPU @ 2.4 GHz and a much newer desktop with an i7 CPU. The older desktop was one that I found on the streets in my neighborhood and that I later fixed and started to play around with it and decided to install Gentoo on it (just because). It's CPU is also so old that it thankfully doesn't have Intel MME. I have also put my older desktop in such a place where I could keep it on for 24/7 (without the risk of it overheating or bothering anyone even when emerging packages).

So, as I was installing Gentoo on it, I figured that I could also use it as an SSH file server and put it behind a VPN (which I could install on my newer i7 desktop (which I could install Debian onto)).

Now, since I wasn't intending to use my Pentium desktop as a file server, I didn't select the hardened profile (and switching profiles would probably take a very long time). So, I was wondering, would this be much of a security concern in my case?

Hello :)

I just finished my first arch install I wanted to set my sights on something more challenging. So, I booted a live image with QEMU Virtmanager to try out gentoo, and after reading the wiki I thought to myself “man i should have started with gentoo”

The arch wiki is good in its own right, but as a beginner i felt really confused and overwhelmed. I felt like I had to google terms just to catch up. The gentoo wiki, however, is really good at explaining concepts and the overview of the technology. When the Arch wiki just says “use mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda2” or something the gentoo wiki actually explains what sda, sdb, etc and ext4 means. I sort of learned it the hard way with arch, but i learn and understand lot more from the gentoo wiki. I love that it explains partition tables, filesystems, heck it even explains what is an IP in the networking section. Making a gentoo system and reading the wiki is basically an interactive computer science course lmao

So, thank you gentoo wiki :)
