Yeah, your eth0:xx is just a label (a tag of sorts) attached to the entry. Otherwise, they're exactly the same thing. You can even add an address with `ip addr add' that will be visible to ifconfig.

I get it that you have your reasons to use Neovim more than Vim, and a large number of them is probably difficult to articulate, but framing it like Vim had no mode for selecting text visually is unfair.

Good heavens, no! You'd only have two different instances of the same service that is difficult to work correctly with. For serving as a debugging channel and user-facing shell access, SSH is fine (though I've never seen it manage

It would be even nicer if people weren't advocating it as a configuration management system, only as what it is: a deployment system.

Ah yes, systemd did promise the correct handling of start ordering (i.e. socket activation). Though this never happened in practice, you still need to manually specify dependencies in unit files, barring the very few daemons.

Parsing this way (in Graylog) is so very... manual. I'd rather go with rsyslog's liblognorm, either in rsyslog itself or in a separate daemon, like logdevourer I wrote. The rules then can be written in a regular text editor and ve
