i slightly broke my linux install a few months ago. now some packages randomly have unresolved shalibs. reinstalling all local packages did not help

instead of doing a full distro reinstall, I just send all broken packages into the purgatory in /opt/nheko_chroot, named after the first package that dared to break, then I make them pretty little gravestones in ~/.local/bin/, like

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/nheko_chroot/usr/lib exec /opt/nheko_chroot/usr/bin/nheko

by now my happy little place is ~25% of my main OS. uh oh.

“what did you do” my mere existence causes software to break and plead for mercy. D̸̡̞̞͝Ò̷̟͜ ̴̗̺̐̇͝N̷̨͚̦̈́Ò̵̽̀ͅT̸͎͙̂̑ ̴̱̎͜R̴̝̥̩̆E̶͇̝͉͊S̴̩̩͎͛̈́̇I̸̦͒̆S̵̢̍͝T̴̡͍̊̓͊

@domi soon you can swap your main OS with the chroot

@famfo and so the cycle of life continues…..

@domi reading this post makes me want to cry

@weirdtreething thank you, it’s the intended response. you’re at a computer afterall

@domi have you ever considered the fact that every single computer in existence hates you?

@weirdtreething counter argument i deserve to launch prismlauncher

@domi computers love me and respect my choice to launch prismlauncher without chroot hackery

@weirdtreething you’re built different

@domi indeed. I am a tree while you are a binary of bash linked against musl libc

@domi @weirdtreething dont be so hard on yourself... no one deserves to launch prismlauncher...

i really enjoy the fact that i turned my laptop on today and nheko started segfaulting. i shouldn’t have made fun of it, that made the Gods angry

@domi hey, at least it's not due to filesystem corruption, right?

@wolf480pl one can hope

@domi any ioerrors in dmesg? :P

@wolf480pl gulp n-no

@domi @wolf480pl *glances a the timestamps* that's a lot of meows

@domi @wolf480pl why is your dmesg full of meows?

@noisytoot @wolf480pl cat

@noisytoot @wolf480pl (driver debugging which i never disabled)

@domi don't fuck with the ELF gods

@domi oh god this is so cursed

@domi maybe reconsider doing a reinstall

@domi what's a shalib

@weirdtreething @domi I am kind to the computer and in turn the computer is kind to me. I gently ask it to launch PrismLauncher and it does. I fight my programs in other Nix-related ways though.
