Is that actual systemd, or one of the systemd-x projects that aren't really systemd and not necessary for systemd to be systemd and should probably have a different name?

systemd-resolverd, so the latter.

the systemd-whatever stuff is great and does what it needs to do

its great that the systemd project ships "all of the userspace tools you need to boot and run a basic linux system" so you dont need a whole loving copy of BIND to have a local dNS cache for instance, and dont need to cobble together a dozen different projects to get basic stuff out of hte box: networking, restarting failed services, system logging, time syncing, managing locale ,handling devices (udev), console sessions, etc.

and the systemd-whatever tools can all be individually replaced if for some reason you want to

yeah, the desktop ricing people are some, it’s real. i3 is looked down upon lol. you can find them quick on image boards or reddit but probably better to just imagine. a custom setup can be “cool” to aid a workflow, or even as an end to itself if you want to play around with UI/UX, but a bunch of it is just cargo culting for cred. weird nerd identity politics here too, allowing some dumb poo poo like init systems to take on a broader meaning, like an attack on community. why do people take this personally, like how many of the grieved does this actually effect?

I still get flashbacks to the days when nmcli couldn’t do anything but print a list of connections, and also the networkmanager people refused to provide any offline documentation in their packages because it was all on the website you couldn’t read because your network wasn’t working

I haven’t had any networkmanager problems for years, but I will never forgive it and will rejoice when it is finally buried for good

The last time I used (desktop) Linux and wifi together was when my NIC's manufacturer refused to update their binary driver for the 2.4 kernel. The tooling at the time? Ouch. VMs from then on, and I really feel like I didn't miss much. Things must actually work these days, given Android can typically join a network?

unless you specifically configure it differently. I only ran into it once and it something that an end user was clearly never supposed to get a shell on. so fair play on your security through annoyance I guess

it's there on every full install of *nix I've ever touched, but it's not in coreutils.

i don't have a linux box handy to do a lookup on, but i did just search through a listing of the coreutils commands and it wasn't listed

edit: in both rhel family and arch it comes from the vim-minimal package.

vi is required by posix so it’ll be there by default on pretty much any linux that’s intended to be used as a linux. this is the one reason it’s worth learning some of the basic vi commands despite it being 2017 not 1977.

all bets are off if the linux is an implementation detail of some kind of embedded thing though

vi is built into busybox which for those of you lucky enough to not be immediately triggered is a single binary minimal Linux user space intended for embedded applications. it’s got a bunch of poo poo built in like a dash (lol) implementation and among other things a vi which when I used it didn’t have features like “undo”.

busybox's vi is trash - lots of basic things don't work (yanking, word skip, undo, etc), it's the single worst thing about the busybox userspace IMO

docker is a good prototyping tool for building the image but running dockerd in any kind of production setting is gonna be a mess, hope u have infinite disk and hope ur containers don't need consistently functioning networking lol

about a year ago mesos added a feature allowing you to completely cut out dockerd by just running docker images in the native mesos runtime
