The Calculate Linux project has turned 17 years old!

Of course I would have missed this event once again if not for a reminder in my phone 🤭 A reminder that is saved in my Nextcloud calendar, which is running in a Docker container running in LXC Calculate Scratch running on a Calculate Container Manager server 🕶 Open Source has made its way into our lives, with many great projects popping up recently.

Switching to using the Gentoo 23.0 profile

As of today, Calculate Linux is transitioning from Gentoo 17.1 to 23.0 profile. The update will be available first in the test repositories. Updating from binary packages should not be difficult, just run cl-update or use the graphical update utility. The revision will downgrade sys-devel/binutils, sys-devel/gcc, sys-libs/glibc, dev-build/libtool for mandatory rebuilds. If you are not using binary packages, you should perform the upgrade as follows: Update the portages by running: cl-update -

Calculate Summer Camp 2022: Go Get Ready

That’s it: Calculate Summer Camp 2022 is over. Greetings and thanks to everyone who came! Weather promised to be rainy, scaring almost all of our would-be island neighbors away. Those weaklings were barely seen 🕶 In fact, it rained for half an hour on Friday, Friday night and a little bit on Saturday morning. There was no rain at all in the evenings, so that we could stay out of the tent: There were 10 of us on the island on Friday, and 16 on Saturday. We wished time would st...

Meet cl-lxc for container management!

LXC containers have been with us for a while now: indeed, we have dozens of them at Calculate Ltd. Containers can be quickly and easily deployed and configured, but further maintenance may become a challenge. Updating the services over time requires newer versions of libraries, which in turn means upgrading obsolete systems. And that is when, of course, one realizes that the container has not been updated for quite a long period! Doing it after all this time may disrupt normal service operation

Restarting bridges and user support chats

Two years ago, we took user support to a whole new level by bridging seemingly incompatible messengers. Back then, IRC users were gradually moving to Telegram. IRC was becoming a desert, and it was getting more and more difficult to get quality support. The question of choosing a popular messenger rose sharply. At that time they tried to block Telegram in Russia and it did not suit many people, for various reasons. Therefore, we chose a fairly original and more interesting solution - to link cha
