Systemd is the Kanye West of vibe-coding.

1. Take a non-stop Linux box where even the kernel can be patched while it’s hot
2. Glance at d-bus sideways
3. Now you must reboot.

I don’t know why but I just found it incomprehensible.

#alwaysHasBeen, but for us graybeards the confusion has been “this is a solution with no problem” and “it’s eaten WHAT now?”

warns

No; “threatens”. Get it right, news headline writers! It’s not a warning but a threat.

It’s like how most Canadians view America as a threat and not a warning (oh, wait. Maybe we do see it as a warning too, as we have our own soulless charlatan oilman scumbag politicians).

“Go edit the source” is starting to look like the new “let them eat cake”.

How quickly you trivialize the work of the experienced kde devs that some pedestrian can wander in and mod a large project without fear.

Fedora

Any RPM-based system has exemplary validation and, as long as we don’t throw it out with flatsnappimages, it presents a very clean and maintainable install.

Extra points for PCLinuxOS which has avoided lennart’s cancer.

No points for SuSE as they continue to exist as the over engineered bastard child of slackware and RPM, like slackware met 73deJeff on a trip and let the tequila do the talking. Mamma mia!

You don’t need them in turn only lanes

No mention of America.

No it isn’t[:] you’re not required by law to use a turn signal in a turn only lane

No mention of America.

I’m talking about US law and it seems you’re talking about Canadian.

Are you forgetting that 95% of the world’s population lives outside of America?

Minnesota (this is a state in the US) traffic code 169.19 Subd. 5 Signal to turn:

… and incorrect even in America.

What does False Consensus mean?

You don’t need them in turn only lanes

My driving instructor would disagree, as I recall.

Once the light turns green I give a solid three count then I honk

In Ottawa it’s a customary 4 picoseconds.

I’m supposed to wade through all the log files in /var/log myself??

You configured your logging. You could have made them all one file.

predictable and consistent.

Or none of those.

Oh. My NIC didn’t ‘start’ because systemd and network manager are fighting again? Neet.

But why?

I a world where we can’t really be sure what’s in an upgrade, a super-clean start that burns any ephemeral data is about the best way to ensure a consistent start.

And consistency gives reliability, as much as we can get without validation (validation is “compare to what’s correct”, but consistency is “try to repeat whatever it was”).

That sounds like your kids responded in a way that every karate club teaches against.

Cars are not designed to inflict harm. This cheap false equivalence tells us a lot.

breakeven

Not a word, my dude.

Former OS security here (I worked at an OS vendor who sold an OS or two and my job involved keeping it secure).

Fuck no.

Sorry if that makes you downvote, but it doesn’t make them safer.

Such kneejerk.

WHAT DOES THE MATH SAY?

I saw this and was pleased, actually. The relative opacity of containers makes them a validation challenge and hides versioning from standard tooling used for large host populations and/or enterprise.

Even if they sparkle.

Docker-dependent? It looks fantastic, but I have no containers in my home-lab – and it’s based on my time managing OS security for an OS. I’m stuck living vicariously through the rest of you, so report back often.

Postiz is a social media scheduling tool supporting 19 social media channels:

Thank you for including this summary. It’s surprising how often that’s left out and it’s always valuable.

Sadly, it’s container-dependent, it seems. Also, it’s asking for supply-chain exploits and violating ISO27002 with pnpm, but for a PoC setup it looks excellent.
