at my last job i blew a bunch of time getting a basic db to the point where it could handle a few billion records/day on a single system* solely because they didnt want deployments to require several machines (and therefore cost more) was a p fun project and a hell of a line item on my resume but lmao * with a small disk array providing p good iop capacity tbf

maybe they should think more about fixing the cause (garbage libs whose regressions are going undetected/ignored) instead of the symptom (apps that use those garbage libs having version-specific problems) also there's already a version numbering system for dynamically linked libraries (albeit one that mostly goes by convention)

Suspicious Dish posted:I'm also concerned about btrfs, mostly because there's no full time maintainers or developers for it anymore. looks like chris mason is still on it full time? he apparently switched companies again a while back but it sounds like theyre interested in him continuing to develop it

ok now that ive actually skimmed it more than 5s, it sounds neat overall but feels they just went through a checklist of fashionable modern fs features and tried to find ways to use them all the btrfs snapshotting dependency would avoid the extra effort of path handling hackery for the packages, yet the package format is still going to need some degree of author effort to specify eg the more granular dependency versions and to sign packages in the first place. feels like they may as well just gently caress with path handling and avoid the btrfs dependency overall i think the concept is neat and that itd be a good replacement for the sea of distro sperglord middlemen frequently ruining the author's work but i dont really see why it should require btrfs-specific features to function and i feel like it'd be a much easier sell if they didnt depend on that quote:One of them is actually signing/verification of images. The btrfs maintainers are working on adding this to the code base, but currently nothing exists. This functionality is essential though to come to a fully verified system where a trust chain exists all the way from the firmware to the apps. the finest openssl straight from the verified author oh i think i get it, theyre trying to allow getting rid of the 3rd party packager entirely and having the author diy it, okay thatd be pretty cool, tho it still looks a lil unclear how the chain of trust would work/scale to individual authors and lol if its also signed on dependencies such that even the os vendor cant push a zlib security update across the board without getting the approval of each author that touches zlib quote:Also, to make the home sub-volume scheme fully workable we actually need encrypted sub-volumes, so that the sub-volume's pass-phrase can be used for authenticating users in PAM. This doesn't exist either. depending on their definition of 'need' (this feature sounds pretty optional to me): - the default result of losing your user password is your data is gone, you cant just reboot onto a livecd. sure, if you encrypt your drives today and forget the pw you get this result, but its an additional optional step and the volume pw isnt necessarily the user pw - and lets just disregard otp or ldap (again they're sounding like they think encrypted home dirs is required)

Notorious b.s.d. posted:Groupon Launches Gnome™ — A Tablet Solution that Helps Merchants Run Their Business and Connect with Customers lwn The GNOME Foundation, by virtue of having used that name since the 1990's and having trademarked it in 2006, objects strongly to what it sees as a blatant infringement of its trademark. The organization is scrambling to file its opposition to GroupOn's new trademark filings, but that takes work — and money. So there is now a fund-raising effort in the works to help make this opposition happen. "Help us raise the funds to fight back and most of all call public attention to this terrible behavior by Groupon. Help us make sure that when people hear about GNOME software they learn about freedom and not proprietary software. Our counsel has advised us that we will need $80,000 to oppose the registration of the first set of 10 applications. If we are able to defend the mark without spending this amount, we will use the remaining funds to bolster and improve GNOME." i think theyd have good luck if their campaign was simply called 'gently caress groupon', theyd probably get a ton of shat-on businesses to donate

k-zed posted:the usual systemd supporter response of "submit bug reports, it's open source, etc etc" is bogus. amazing how the people impotently whining about systemd consistently lack the wherewithal to make their own alternate, or fork, or even patchset that fixes their perceived problem and would rather focus on being boilerplate-laden shell script warriors in comment threads and mailing lists in hopes of forcing someone else to do their work for them its almost as if the people with any background on the matter already agree that systemd is good also source your quotes Progressive JPEG fucked around with this message at 17:04 on Nov 18, 2014 |
