The reason why "turn it off and on again" solves most computer issues is that the issues are caused by the system entering unexpected states that weren't properly accounted for at design/coding time. The longer a system runs, the more likely it will end up in such a broken state. So basically, this system is designed to monotonically drift toward being completely broken. How is this an improvement?
- denton-scratch 5y agoI suppose there's a procedure of some kind for rebooting from zero, rather than restoring previous state. I guess I'd like to be able to specify at startup which processes are to be de-hibernated, which are to be restarted from scratch, and which are to remain dead.
