A happy coincidence indeed :)

Classic, must be a HP printer.

Jew here too, Netanyahu is a corrupt fascist cunt.

You are correct, although zram uses more cpu power since it compresses things. It’s not really an issue if you’re not using a potato :=)

History repeats itself… Except now we have climate change and nukes.

Probably studying for a PhD.

That’s a very Tankie opinion…

Paywall!

Fair play, as you say it is a “love it or hate it” affair. I personally really like the simplicity and stability of old school UNIX.

OpenBSD comes to mind as the closest thing in contemporary times and I would use it as a daily driver but I need Linux for a few bits.

Void to me seems like the Linux equivalent. Minimal, stable, no bullshit. Alpine also fits this criteria but is a bit more sparse in some packages that I use. Both great distros.

Systemd is 1.5+ million lines of code! However convenient, it felt forced by Redhat into the Linux world and many of us who do not like it feel bent over backwards to be fucked in the arse by Poettering et al.

As solely an init system, may I suggest a superior alternative, s6?

(I am in hospital on morphine so I may not be making sense).

If binary logs get corrupted they’re kaput; text logs are not (as far as I know?). Also you cannot grep binary logs? I wouldn’t know.

No, I just have used Linux/BSDs for ~15 years in a non-professional setting.

Runit is brilliantly simple, and as the old granite maul examine text says, “simplicity is the best weapon”.

I’m sorry, you won’t be able to convince me to use it, it doesn’t feel KISS (I left Arch when they swapped). Fuck binary logs too. The only place I use it is on my phone which is SailfishOS.

Void to me is what Arch used to be – I tend to use minimal replacements where I can, e.g. Openntpd as ntp, socklog as logger, seatd as logind, zfsbootmenu instead of systemd-boot, no polkit et cetera.

it’s the closest usable distro for me to cut most of the poetteringware out apart from messing around with Gentoo (which I can’t be arsed with any more). I am not a fan.

Like or dislike systemd, be it convenient or not, you can’t deny it’s a behemoth.

It’s the gigareddits to gigalemmies reddit disarmament program!
