Try installing something from homebrew.

Oh you just want to install this one package here? Ok but let’s update 60 other packages first. Don’t worry, it will only take about one minute. Per package.

Bruh have fun on x86_64 since you have to compile them all (at least I had to, I might have broken something)

I installed Mono on my M1 MBP last year and it took like four hours to compile 💀

When I was new to linux and got a raspberry pi 1. I was following some random guide to put retroarch on the pi. I did not know what I was doing, but it took at least 24 hours if not more.

Years later I realized that the guide had me compiling it from source instead of just installing a precompiled package.

Try Nix instead of Homebrew.

Can we get some autoremove love in here?

[–] owenfromcanada@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

That's the sleep command. That is, you type that before going to sleep.

One of the reasons I love pacman. A whole system update within a minute or two (depending on the particular system ofc)

[–] regular_human@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

But for the love of linus, please read the news feed first!

[–] Rin@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Ain't nobody got time for that

[–] alec@wirebase.org 5 points 2 years ago

Do you use Arch perchance?

[–] LurkyTheHatMan@ttrpg.network 12 points 2 years ago (2 children)

sudo apt-get update -y && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y

-yqq, "and don't say another word until it's done."

pacman -Syu

Using -Syyu can cause a partial system upgrade if mirrors are out of sync. It leads to higher traffic for mirror owners and it is considered bad practice overall. There are just a few rare cases where it is useful at all.

Forcing anything should always be a conscious decision and never the default.

I’m so lazy I alias “sudo pacman” to “p”

[–] vkirlin@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

I have "yeet" for "yay -Rcns"

[–] daf@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

It's just yay it will update by default if no parameters are passed.

[–] GizmoLion@kbin.social 9 points 2 years ago

Oops, missed a dash, so now you'll have to come back and finish.

[–] PracticalParrot@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Is there a big reason to use apt-get instead of just apt? I don't think I've ever used apt-get in years, always using just apt.

[–] jape@infosec.pub 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

It's used for scripting. Apt specifically recommends against using it in scripts.

"Knock it off Julian, I know how good my coffee is, I'm the one who buys it. When Bonnie goes shopping, she buys shit. I buy the more expensive coffee because when I drink it, I want to taste it. But you know what's on my mind right now? It ain't the coffee in my kitchen..."

I updated my RPi zero running pi hole today. I had to disable pi hole, and even then it took well past half an hour to update...

[–] czardestructo@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

This as my first thought. When running these commands in my pi1 or zero I go get a sandwich and come back an hour later

[–] chandz05@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Damn why so long? My 3b takes a few mins

[–] czardestructo@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Pi zero is many times less powerful than the pi3 but still perfectly fine for lots of simple tasks. Just takes forever to update.

[–] atimholt@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I think everyone should try Gentoo at least once, for the experience. Why download binaries when you can compile everything?

[–] Zucca@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I've used Gentoo for almost 20 yeas by now. 😋

[–] QuazarOmega@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I'm guessing you just got to actually use it now then

What are the chances, I'm currently waiting for apt-get upgrade to finish while browsing Lemmy.

sudo nix flake update && sudo nixos-rebuild switch —flake .

[–] DrM@feddit.de 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Do this with a typo in sources.list and uninstall the complete system at once. Happened to me once, happened to me twice. 10/10 will happen again

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Where did these Tarintino shots come from? The man has the pointiest chin.

[–] AusatKeyboardPremi@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I have the same question. Honestly, it looks AI generated to me.

[–] ben16w@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I feel that Tanintino would benefit from a beard

It pulls in flakes from flakes. So, unless I want to travel the whole dependency graph down all of the flakes and put them in my top-level flake, I have to use impure. 😕

[–] neoney@lemmy.neoney.dev 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I personally use a patch on my nix that allows to evaluate a thunk for the inputs, and have every input in a different file. https://github.com/flafydev/combined-manager

[–] demesisx@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

thanks so much for sharing. I'll give it a look.

[–] MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

This was me the first time I tried using a Raspberry Pi, I'd never experienced an update taking longer than a minute or two before then

[–] curiousaur@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

This is not my beautiful house.
