what if Alex jones had a pc magazine column... systemd is a conspiracy of sjws Microsoft and SCO to destroy linux. Linus is a tragic hero entrapped by sjw provocateurs. def systemd is worse

Max Facetime posted:“Rape apology is an umbrella term for any arguments suggesting that rape is infrequent, misreported, over-reported, not that big a deal, or excusable in some circumstances” I find your definition of rape apology troubling in some respects but if I change it to “some things a not terrible person does not discuss on a tech conference mailing list” then I like it pretty good

sorry to the five remaining bsd users that linux got a decent init. maybe use linux then you can have a decent init too setting up systemd-networkd to handle ENIs attached to k8s workers at runtime was ez-pz, just a file with like two lines. wildcard match on ifname and "yes use dhcp" hey we're done systemd-timesyncd syncs time which is very needs suiting systemd-resolved makes split dns on openvpn painless i dont give two sloppy shits about monoculture or any of that poo poo. if poettering goes off the deep end and fucks everything up I rest easy knowing that some other insufferable nerd will step up to take a crack at starting processes for me

Tankakern posted:gentoo is ~what you make it to be~, it's a meta distribution, a build-your-own-distro kit. if you think it still it trash it is because you didn't do anything in it. i think we're using different words to say the same thing. yes, gentoo is a pile of garbage that you get the joy of picking through to cobble together a half-working system. if that is what you want to do on your free time that's fine, everyone needs a hobby. i myself did some questionable things in college, including gentoo experimentation. what i object strongly to is the notion that gentoo is ever appropriate for any use in the workplace, where innocent coworkers and customers will be impacted by the gentooer's bad decisions

ewe2 posted:Who cares about RH, I'm trying to understand why a network drive application needs the specifics of an ext4 filesystem. Google Drive doesn't need that, AFAIK. feature support beyond open/read/write/close is real patchy for linux filesystems so it would make sense if they only supported ext4 and xfs, the two widely-used filesystems. ext4 only is really weird to the point that i wonder if they're trying to get rid of people using it to back up their digitalocean droplet or some poo poo

cinci zoo sniper posted:why vm.overcommit_ratio defaults to 50 so you have the other 50 for page cache? hardly matters what the original reason was. the reason it stays there is that no one can propose a kernel change that small without some high status individual deciding that everything will be destroyed if the change is made

cinci zoo sniper posted:hm. i just wonder how to manage one server installation i oversee - its suggested to have the overcommit mode to 2, so it is guided by the overcommit ratio, but then with 50 im getting hard memory allocation/oom failures since the machine hosts moderately large db cluster and a few hungry jvm server apps concurrently - with the plot twist being that poo poo rarely ever actually uses that much ram, so it feels like i arbitrarily halve the ram system makes available to applications iirc commit limit controls anonymous mappings and maybe locked pages, file-backed mappings having somewhere to go if the kernel needs to evict pages. basically vm.overcommit_ratio = 50 means up to half the system ram is allowed to be used for app heaps and other userspace stuff like buffer pools. the other 50 is for everything else: the kernel and page cache mainly. depending on your DB having a lot of ram available to the page cache is either absolutely vital or absolutely useless iow search your feelings for the correct value of vm.overcommit_ratio
