I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not. Most things we want to do are necessarily complex, so dogmatically adhering to "one simple thing" necessarily drives you towards a towering heap of composed dependencies. If you want

It feels like enabling DNSSEC on any zone is inviting a bunch of fun service risks and unexpected failures. Is my clock more likely to be accurate after NTP.org got signed? It looks like it's less likely, on average.

You're right, I should have added the qualifier "_when operated corrrectly_".

I used to ride in London every day. The difference in rate of almost-crashes before and after I get a different (yet still legal) exhaust was substantial.

What that stat doesn't tell you is the rate of near misses. It's anecdotal I know, but as someone who commutes on a bike, the number of times I almost crash by myself per journey is near zero, yet the number of times a car tries t

The bait and switch is because people feel the social contract has been broken. If you start a project, invite people to come along and donate their free time to making it better, building (and benefitting from) a community of people workin

Given that the actual complaint is that the specific OTel metrics library (it's not specified which) they chose to bundle into their client lib is too complicated, this feels a little click-bait-y.

The notification can be done by sending some data to $NOTIFY_SOCKET. That's all sd_notify does.

If you actually come from BSD, you'd hopefully recognize a set of different utilities combined to form a holistic system released under a single name. It's not a new idea. Besides, the gpp is incorrect: systemd dependencies are no
