From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

modprobed-db can create a profile of the kernel modules that get loaded by your system over time. You can feed that directly into
make localmodconfigto build a kernel that only includes those modules, or use the data to build a modprobe whitelist.Hm? Somehow, lemmy.zip messed up the proxying, (clickable link)? Good thing you've pasted it plaintext.
Hahaha no I'm just an idiot and accidentally swapped the url and text, thanks for catching that - fixed now
I think that's a Voyager thing, maybe?
