No clue, but they could use nice.

Claims of Bsky’s federatedness and decentralizedness were greatly exaggerated.

I’m afraid you answered the wrong comment.

At the workplace?

Great talk indeed. And I will quickly acknowledge that something had to be done, and that systemd had the courage to innovate and address the issues. I just wish it did so in a more transparent way to the end user.

For instance: there’s a whole established system of dealing with logs in place. Why build a separate one just for your init system? Why binary? Why even integrate it with your init? I’m not saying storing everything on /var/log and using logrotate is ideal or even covers all use cases. But a log management system is its own thing.

That’s just an example of how systemd didn’t jive with every other subsystem in a Unix like OS. It could have been done in a Unix way - small cohesive tools that are good at one job and can be combined to do more together.

That’s where I think he missed the mark when dismissing the monolithic criticism by saying “it’s not a single binary so it’s not monolithic”. Its philosophy is monolithic.

That said, I use systemd on my machines because that’s what my do uses and I don’t think it’s a reason to swap distros. For the same reason I use Linux and not a micro kernel. I.e. philosophy is important, but implementation is importanter.

SPACE OIL!

So that’s the story. SystemD feels very Microsofty, though. A big, opinionated, monolith.

Wasn’t the systemd dude a Microsoft employee or something?

Epic?

I started with floppies too, when I bought my copy of Conectiva Linux 3.0. It came with a hefty manual that was instrumental for a newbie like me.

Neat, thank you!

I’m sorry I should have specified. I’m curious about the recovery records feature.

Also the fact that it’s self hostable and can also work offline and can also work as a desktop client for remote collaboration and supports several remote backends.

Dark Reader is a godsend. I sent money their way, so many things are just stark white everywhere, I’d be suffering of it wasn’t for that extension.

Nope, you were right and I was agreeing with you, and adding that a much younger project compared to LO is already ahead.

I use Vorta, a GUI frontend, because I’m a filthy casual.

I have not used it personally, but Blender is famously used in high value Hollywood productions.
