it is crazy that Poettering is even considering merging this

You’ve, uh, seen systemd, right? Cmon; this is just one more section for the cancer to eat.

Consider PCLinuxOS: they’re an RPM-based mandriva (mandrake/conectiva) derivative with really great and wide compatibility in stacks without the ‘modules’ shitfest RH started after no one remembered what ‘alternatives’ was for.

They don’t use systemd, but their installation is a bit shite as it’s a “live CD” installer – they pruned out the proper templatey install that mandriva has. But so far that’s the biggest issue. If they can get off networkManager we’ll be even better off, though.

there are complete ansible-repos

Ansible is toxic. Anything else?

There aremany benefits to a siloed operation that all relate to preventing overwork and scope creep.

This example is part of the cost.

We use copy and paste a lot.

download the Flatpak build

How about no?

For sure. And their bumbling has made it harder to deactivate all the useless bloat and get the good web-editor back. And a host of other mind-numbingly short-sighted decisions that show they’re fully run by LostBoy coders who were never mentored and just don’t know better.

But tuning can come after. And their CI is way fucking better than forgejo’s facepalm of a GitHub clone. And that’s a thin reason, but, yeah.

It’s Atlassian, which we call Half-Assed-ian. They make Flatulence and Jeer-a.

It’s monstrous, but gitlab installs from one big RPM on a base box; and with one config file you’re up.

They forced an update that won’t run on my phone.

• can’t run the required version
• old version just tries to update

So I’m almost out anyway.

I like their chai lattes. I can’t get the same taste anywhere else, and if I try to make it it’s a “we have mcdonalds at home” result.

So about twice a year, now, I get a fucking c$6 latte as a treat. I miss 2019 with the many locations - one 80m away in my walkable block - and a really nice barista who made the effort to smile and chat directly. Now I have none of those things and this is like dia de los muertos.

Mixing squishy people and big steel trucks will definitely impact one group a lot more than the other; and in ways not fixed by a painted line.

Good luck.

most of the world have Android

Heck, most of the Known Universe. This is how I say it to my fanboy sibling who moves those goalposts just so only America is in-frame and the numbers show a small advantage for the Home Team.

It’s called the universal operating system for a reason.

If they call themselves that, it really doesn’t count. It’s like how trump ended like 10 wars to get his FIFA peace medal.

You buy such a thing with Club Z points?

That’s the one you buy then if that’s what matters to you.

Yeah. But where can I find a phone with Qi, reverse-Qi, and a 3.5mm jack? Other than the old one I have now, that is.

two containers

Good luck, but I’m out.

BSD isn’t Unix. It’s fairest to say it is a Unix. Unix was built in Murray Hill and maintained by a succession of corporations and now sits locked in a safe at a company where they will never have the clue or interest to maintain or distribute it, thanks to IBM. Everything else is just sparkling multics.

(Source: was on the periphery, know the people who know where the bodies are)

And it’s neat to see how well IBM killed the competition who dared to cry code-rape.

What’s the big deal? For 20 years in the enterprise space it’s been yum upgrade -y && reboot into cron and no issues. At the day job I even had satellite (5 and that shitball 6) cronned up to do my promotion automatically (even when 6 had shit for scheduling and I had to cron-parallel-xargs a better one). All cron.

Hell, I barely pay attention to the email reports now. It’s been that long. Okay, prod updates on Friday night only; but that’s our only nod to risk. Because even after the metastatic fatberg that is Systemd, it’s still barely reliable.

What’s the added risk for Debian packages? Imperfect replacement? No signed manifest to compare against? What?

The politics between the animals in your house is insane.

1. Self-hosting guide appears missing
2. Other guides have crazy writing errors
3. Setup looks convoluted.

What I’ve seen makes me bet I could be dragging iso27002 out and marking all the rules it breaks. …and the devs won’t know what that means.

Yeah. It sucks that the protocol works and everyone can use it. It’s the worst.
