  • They’ve had individual -bin versions of a few big builds, like firefox, chromium, and libreoffice for basically forever.

    They had something called distcc for a long time too. That let you, the user, cross-compile packages on one machine for installation on different machine(s).

    But at the end of 2023, they dramatically expanded the system, adding configuration machinery to install $packagename from source or binary (i.e. not like firefox and firefox-bin). And they set up the server infrastructure to host a much larger number of official binary packages for amd64 and arm64. Around the same time they added a “distribution kernel” as an ebuild, so users no longer had to “compile it yourself”. And I think the dist-kernel is now available as a binary.













  • Here’s some explanation of the Dual Sovereignty Doctrine.

    New York State is a sovereign state that derives original sovereign power from the citizens of New York. Meanwhile, the United States is also an original sovereign power that derives its power from the entire people of the United States. (Remember, the Constitution is established by “we, the People”. The U.S. is not just an agreement between individual states). Both governments have original power over the geographic territory of New York. The regular powers of government are split between the two according to the terms of the Constitution.

    Thus, New York State can exercise its General Police Power to prosecute Mr. Mangione for murder. This power is not granted by the Constitution, but it is recognized by the Constitution. The United States government can simultaneously exercise its power to Regulate Interstate Commerce, by prosecuting Mr. Mangione for the crime of “interstate stalking that caused the death of a person.”
