pram posted:lol bsd is a backup janitor It's good for some applications (I don't mean application in the software sense, I mean the literal english meaning of the word application), and honestly nothing can beat OpenBSD at some of those niches, but those niches are so small, so underused, and so... why.. that talking about BSD as if it's a primary OS is loving hilarious. I mean I literally tried to run FreeBSD as my main coding OS, but it was terrible. Absolutely awful. I went back to Gentoo and soon found myself not shooting myself in the foot everytime I wanted to compile something. Still, no gcc was cool even though gcc is better, I liked different output when compiling

I mean seriously, you even get to specify the dir it's mounted in and it's one command. Then you can just cd to the dir and ls/launch your file browser from shell (depending on preference), or if you really are just too awesome for a command line, after mounting it you could just open a file browser and navigate to the dir you mounted it in. The method where you stay in the command line is probably the fastest, though.

Last Chance posted:ive always wondered if the vast difference between the written languages is responsible for what we perceive to be poo poo UI when it might be fine in japanese That is a fair point and I've never even thought of that before. But I'm going to go with Japan (not people of the Japanese race, the culture of the country of Japan) likes lots of weird poo poo that is the complete opposite of what the entire rest of the world likes, and because they have such a unique culture that is known for not giving a gently caress about anyone else, they simply don't give a gently caress about anyone else as long as they can monetize and have bankrolls of ¥en.

Cocoa Crispies posted:eventually mallocs all core storage eventually mucks all critical systems ruby idiot railed posted:*installs gentoo arch funroll loops linux* Seeing as I have participated in multiple decade old jokes, I can't make a joke about you using a decade old reference, but really, Gentoo is the best way to escape systemd entirely. Gentoo and Funtoo (among a few others) are some of the only popular(ish, in the case of Funtoo) distros that don't push systemd on you. You can be entirely systemd free with eudev and openrc. Not trying to provoke a systemd war (and don't quote me and start talking about how poo poo or good systemd is in relation to my post because I don't care), simply responding to your context of freezing systemd and then applying security patches. You don't need to worry about freezing and applying patches when you forgo it entirely and just keep another init system/daemon manager updated. nosl fucked around with this message at 21:02 on May 13, 2015 |

I mean you can install different init on any distro it's just the most practical distro for both servers and desktops that condones not using systemd as an official way of installing is Gentoo. Compiling kind of takes out the 'practical for anything,' though, so it's kind of irrelevant.

pram posted:no one said it was bad other than a bunch of moronic spergs It used to be really bad about 2-3 years ago. It's gotten a lot better, but I don't like how it's starting to have its own 'sudo,' for lack of a better term, and I don't like how it's taking over every part of every distro, but eh, whatever, I'm typing this from an Arch install so I'm a hypocrite at the moment for saying anything bad becuase it boots faster than my OpenRC Gentoo machine, starting and stopping services actually works now, and systemd has come a long way. I just don't want Linux turning into GNU/systemd/linux. That would be terrible. But I've gone from hating systemd to thinking it's quite alright, but I like Linux for options. I like that if systemd starts sucking, I can install OpenRC (my favorite init, flame away, I know it's poo poo) and enjoy my slowass boot times and my preferred syntax. But to get back to the original topic, systemd did used to suck a bag of dicks. It wouldn't enable/disable, stop/start processes on a server I was using (debian), and anytime I tried to send a sigterm to the PID of the daemon running, systemd overwrote it (even with sudo on the sigterm), manually or with htop. It basically hijacks permissions and doesn't let you stop/start poo poo without using systemd, which is actually great to stop newbs from messing poo poo up, but awful when it stops responding. Thankfully, that issue has been (at least mainly?) addressed.

The machine is currently not in use as I am not in the physical location, and when I return I don't know what I'll install. I don't care for Ubuntu, I don't care for RHEL spinoffs, I don't care for Debian (but prefer it the most of the previously mentioned), and I just love the customization that comes with the rolling distros, but they're impractical. Now that I actually do real work, Arch hardly cuts it for when I'm on vacation on my laptop (right now). Tankakern posted:lol u use openrc on gentoo Even when I toss Gentoo, I'm still probably going to install OpenRC on that machine. I like it. It's just personal preference. That's what Linux is about, choice. You can use KDE, or you can use a tty and tmux. You can use openbox or you can use gnome. You can ssh into your computer and use ttys with tmux and never physically access it. It's your choice. Just like it's your choice to use whatever init you drat well please. Don't take this as me dissing systemd though. Like I said it's come a long way, it's objectively faster by a long shot, and I'm starting to like it. nosl fucked around with this message at 13:34 on Jun 18, 2015 |

Something that comes to mind in this instance is early systemd, it sucked cocks but people still forced it on people. Now it no longer sucks cocks but people pretend it does (lol). Now it's Wayland's turn to suck for a little bit, get forced on everyone, and stop being bad.

The irony is, the same lack of organization and corporate fuckery (well, okay, Redhat basically is corporate fuckery that contributes to most of the Linux Kernel, but it's nowhere near the corporate fuckery of Microsoft and Apple) that allowed Microsoft to go about spreading blatantly untrue disinformation campaigns and attempt to sue whatever Linux Foundation or RHEL entity that they sued, also allows them to now build their own distro without being entirely shut down. Not being a blaring hypocrite like microsoft, I see no problem with them doing this and don't feel like they need to be singled out legally. However, culturally? ROFL. Microsoft is a loving joke. If only the following syntax worked to remove their existence from the world as a whole... code:

What is with the blote on packages nowadays? To take a smaller package for example, ncurses, took 1 min 4 seconds to compile on Oct 2014 with an i5 2500k, now takes 1 min 20 seconds to compile today on an i7 4790k. Do developers just not give a poo poo?

bobbilljim posted:16 seconds my compile flags are quite normal and not riced I don't often do a system update unless it's been a few months, and just upgrade important packages until then. The only reason I checked the difference was because I installed a brand new processor that is supposedly twice as fast at compiling. While this is apparent for larger packages blatantly, smaller ones seem to have no major difference. I wasn't trying to divert the ambiguous nonexistent topic, sorry for ruining your day man. Next time I'll just cut my dick off and install Ubuntu while listening to boy bands through mpd before I even consider posting something related to linux on the linux thread.
