modprobed-db
Keeps track of EVERY kernel module that has ever been probed. Useful for those of us who make localmodconfig :) (by graysky2)

Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

- How to know you got all of the kernel options you need?
-
Do you compile and run your own kernels?
I've been compiling minimal kernels with the use of modprobed-db which snapshots the current modules loaded on a system, and then it's used to build a kernel without any unessential modules.

Tutorial - how to assess which hardware you have so you can configure your new kernel
The most reliable way is to actually use https://github.com/graysky2/modprobed-db. Install and configure it, and then plug every device you use into your computer, do stuff that you do usually, and you'll have all the needed modules in a list that can be used when building the kernel.

Kernel config question
Modprobe-db -> Usage

Using make localmodconfig for kernel?
But it will do just that—keep the module that are present. And if something isn’t loaded, and you didn’t add it manually (or by using a helper program, like modprobe-db), then it won’t be there. Which means that, for example, if you were to plug in some previously not used webcam, or a Bluetooth dongle, or a disk formatted with a previously unused file system, etc., you won’t have the modules for it.

I Didn’t Learn Unix By Reading All The Manpages
i agree with this piece, as someone who likes man pages to the extent of having ported significant amounts of the s6-ecosystem docs to mdoc(7), and as someone who has also written a number of guides.
-
Compiled kernel vs pre compiled kernel?
And the -bin kernel can be used to easily get many of the settings you'll need when you build your own kernel.
-
Is there anyway to extract the first page of an epub as image so I can use it in lf previewer
Gah, didn't even consider that the OP might have meant the cover image! Probably at least partly because i know that EPUBs don't necessarily need a cover image - i learnt this as a result of learning how to create a minimal EPUB. (And i actually have many EPUBs without a cover image.)
-
I really want to use Gentoo but I'm tired of the compiling
The point is to be able to customise where you want/need to, and to not have to when you don't. The -bin packages for FireFox, LibreOffice and Zig meet my needs, so i use them. i used the -bin package for the kernel to help me create a minimal kernel for my hardware, because messing around with kernel configuration is not my idea of a good time. But more generally, compiling allows me to specify things like: "i want packages compiled with USB and PCRE support where available, but i don't want them compiled with GNOME support."
-
Is it all about tuning?
Even though D-Bus is probably most often encountered by people in the context of GUI sessions, it's not specific to that; it can be (and is) used outside of such contexts. The widespread misunderstandings i've encountered about D-Bus over the years led me to write a short guide, "D-Bus: the essentials".

Freedesktop Notification Error!
(Some related background you might find helpful: a guide i wrote about D-Bus and X sessions).

Trouble creating OpenRC kernel from gentoo-sources
But more generally, you might find it helpful to refer to this guide i wrote on creating a minimal Gentoo-patched kernel via gentoo-kernel-bin (which can then be regularly updated just like any other Gentoo package).
-
Gonna switch to Gentoo
Take advantage of savedconfig where appropriate, e.g. for kernel builds. In particular, this can be used to easily create a minimal kernel for your hardware.
-
How to I get sound on Gentoo. I thought I installed the right sound card in my Kernel, but its not working
(Further to this, you might be interested in my guide to creating a minimal kernel for your hardware.)
-
The square root symbol looks incomplete, with the extension hanging outside
[a] i've actually written a quickstart guide to writing man pages with mdoc(7), to try to encourage others to use the semantics-oriented mdoc(7) macros for man pages, rather than the presentation-oriented man(7) macros.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing modprobed-db and guides you can also consider the following projects:
linux-tkg - linux-tkg custom kernels
execline-man-pages - mdoc versions of the documentation for the execline suite
gentoo-install - A gentoo installer with a TUI interface that supports systemd and OpenRC, EFI and BIOS, as well as variable disk layouts using ext4, zfs, btrfs, luks and mdraid.
Gentoo-Stuff - Gentoo kernels, Portage configs & Linux things.
mold - Mold: A Modern Linker 🦠
hotfiles - 🏠 A collection of personal configuration files for various rices I have made.
pandoc - Universal markup converter
ebuku - Emacs interface to the buku Web bookmark manager.
