Well for me it doesn't really seem like that. I want all the things in coreutils. I don't want all the things in systemd, and I don't want unnecessary inter-dependence between them (e.g. udev, journald etc). I find these ki

My laptop boots to a text console. I use a wpa_supplicant script to connect to wifi. What kind of complex init system do you think I need? Honestly, what kind of complex init system do most /servers/ need? But the issue is actuall

No I didn't form an opinion solely based on this blog. But it made me reconsider my opinion based on my own experience of systemd and the fact that it seems to be very much against the UNIX philosophy (I want a UNIX like system, in par

In addition to this I'm willing to bet that a population largely engaged in the service industry, which doesn't produce anything is a discontented society prone to revolution. I feel that this is at least part of what is happening

It's a problem with how society allocates it resources to make technological progress. Payroll goes to pay people to do something non-optimal. As for equipment, well it's great for me because I can pick up used lab equipment cheap

I'd love to see more videos by people who have failed dissecting their failure. My guess is that we listen to successes way too much. That if you look at the failures, you'll find that they share many of the same traits as the suc

I've basically decided systemd isn't for me and have uninstalled it from my systems. The last straw for me was a recent security issue: https://www.agwa.name/blog/post/how_to_crash_systemd_in_one_... Whi

Actually, you know what people are pissed about? Poor investments like this create a business environment where it's harder to get really useful things done. It becomes impossible to bootstrap, and then get funded because VCs a) are lo
