You can do this with pretty much any tool you want. I also did it about 10 years ago with livecd-iso-to-pxeboot (and running from the generated initramfs) Primary obstacles in 2018 are primarily the lackluster support for ro root filesystem

Nobody is obligating app developers to support umpteen versions of iOS. There are 2 possibilities: 1. Users who want to stay on old versions without access to the newer app store stay. This happens all the time with people who have old iPad

iOS is ultimately composed of a bunch of separate packages. Is there a good technical reason why a fix to their crypto library couldn't be backported? This is exactly what Red Hat does, and Debian stable, and it works.

I guess we agree to disagree. I just don't like calling them the "other" Romans, or even referring to them as the Byzantines who were carrying on the torch, when they never considered any such thing, and would never have refe

I commented elsewhere, but Roman culture was distinctively not Greek. The Romans valued virtue, filial duty, martial strength, etc. While the Eastern empire gradually became more "Greek" (in the same sort of cultural syncretism wh

The "Byzantines" WERE Roman and always called themselves such. They were the "Rum" to the Turks because they called themselves Roman. I'm not sure how a state which can trace a direct lineage of law and rulers back

I mean, not really. The Romans, as always, picked and chose the parts they liked and integrated them into their own mythology. The Roman pantheon was a superset of the Greek pantheon (among others), as evocatio was used as a final part of c

I'd disagree that the Romans had more in common with the Middle East than northern/western Europe purely on the basis that a substantial part of the feudal organization, religion, and law of northern/western Europe comes dire

Potato/potato. Do you consider the Pax Romana to be peaceful? Arguably, if your neighbors are "barbarians" or "infidels", the most peaceful thing you can do is conquer them to put an end to their incessant warring a

Pretty sure this isn't 4chan. Don't conflate manifest destiny/religious destiny and culture. The caliphate(s) eventually gave up on sieging Constantinople after the utter failure of 717. But before that, they were essentially

The Byzantines were as aligned with the "Orient" as Alexander was. They held onto territory in Italy until a full 600 years after the West fell (once Belisarius recaptured it in the 600s). They had active diplomacy with the Holy R

The point of this is that OpenLDAP, while an ok solution which has stood the test of time, isn't well integrated with anything a systems vendor would want to do with it. Getting it working with Kerberos or anything else to make it a re

For me, at least, it's not about learning new paradigms. I like different user paradigms. It's incredibly inconsistent behavior (see my first post). Is there a reason why I can set the notification sounds for 150 different applica

Counterpoint from someone who actually does own an iPhone after being on Android for years (and I only have an iPhone now because I dropped my Pixel 2, and Fi is taking a long time to send an replacement) -- no, it isn't unparalleled.

NetworkManager handles the config file management on its own. Debian appears to require a flag to enable this on its own: https://wiki.debian.org/NetworkManager#Enabling_Interface_Ma... If it's enabled, networkmanager

Yes, cockpit uses hostnamed and timedated. Plus journalctl, which I noted. I'm perfectly aware of how dbus works, and if you think that hostnamed or timedated have 'idiosyncractic' APIs, I'd challenge you to look at the

by evol262 9y ago
Cockpit uses hostnamed, networkmanager, and other services for configuration, not 'ip' or 'hostname'. Everything you can see is persistent.

by evol262 9y ago
Again, Cockpit does not explicitly deal with systemd. Cockpit deals with dbus, and systemd is conveniently available there (hostnamectl, etc). storaged, networkmanager, and other functionality is not dependent on systemd, so it's reall

by evol262 9y ago
'atomic' is a wrapper. Just look at the dockerfile. Given how much cockpit wants to, y'know, manage the real system, running it in docker is senseless, and there's no reason to have it in the install guide. If you want i

I'm the maintainer of the oVirt plugin. The real advantage of it is that it allows installation of hosted engine easily, and a 'single pane' overview of a host (oVirt Node status without using nodectl, etc) Since Cockpit want

cockpit is not dependent on systemd. They don't ship sysvinit scripts, but there's no hard dependencies on systemd anywhere. I'd expect that the system logging may not be very nice without journald, but the vast majority of t

by evol262 11y ago
My complaint is primarily that there's no mechanism to let you know "hey, there's an update to this" in the same way as apt, yum, and other systems do. It's not about trusting a 3rd party with the maintenance and se

Well, no. Everything I listed can be applied in virtually the same way to openstack images or AMIs or whatever... except that the intended use case of those includes regularly updating packages, which docker does not.

by evol262 11y ago
My primary contention with your post is that docker doesn't provide a package-manager-like way of ifnding out whether or not you're running older images. Everyone has their own homegrown way of doing it. 1. Don't use old shit
