   It's not coreutils. It's a rust slop.

   Let me state once again: "within its very clear limitations". Once you learn that env in cron is not same as in your shell and once you learn to redirect output to loggers - it works just fine. It would be a lie to say that I neve

   We have used cron perfectly fine for decades and it served us well within its very clear limitations. But now obviously we were so blind and wrong all this time and the only true solution is of course systemd.

   Some people are stubborn and refuse to see how obviously superior systemd is to the old ways. Me included.

   Some people see it differently. As in: after using it they don't want to use it. I hate systemd with passion. But that's because I'm old because obviously systemd-* is the only right way and everyone else who see things diffe

    I'm using Linux for about 30 years and apparently we were all wrong using cron for decades.

    > more and more open source projects recommending timers I am perfectly happy with projects recommending timers as long as I can ignore them and use cron.

    I have a GPD Mini, the very first preproduction one. Stock Ubuntu runs just fine since about 24.04 or 23.10 (do not remember). Keyboard is fine. Trackpoint instead of a cheap trackpad which is great. Touch screen. And incredibly mind-boggli

    It's not exclusive to CEOs. Even senior developers can succumb to it. They try agentic development, they see that a single prompt can generate a day's worth of work in mere minutes _and it works_ and they are so impressed that the

    I don't think that is exactly incorrect. The whole purpose of Rust is that it makes code safe by default. > Identifying where code is unsafe, is a qualitative improvement Agree. There was no need to merge that slop into master thoug
