I've been using the old format, only partly because of this. Mostly I just prefer the old look -- simpler, cleaner, easier.

Focusing on correctness and security isn't as popular or sexy as having the latest and greatest bleeding edge superfast stuff, until that stuff breaks and leaves your data vulnerable. But that's unpleasant, so it's easier to

From 2014-06-11 systemd news: > * The support for SysV and LSB init scripts has been removed from the systemd daemon itself. Instead, it is now implemented as a generator that creates native systemd units from these scripts when needed.

You are right, I was relying on memory.

That seems unlikely unless Debian drops systemd or the ecosystem becomes so dependent on systemd's ever-expanding reach that it becomes impossible to build a Linux distro without it.

I have yet to hear the argument that convinces me sysvinit (or openrc or runit) was "no longer suitable." In need of updating and revision? Sure. So broken that a completely new init that swallowed up a bunch of other processes a

The Roman office of dictator (which is the origin of the term) was elected with absolute power in order to deal with a crisis -- generally speaking, a major war, and that usually involving an invasion of Roman territory by hostile forces. T

This makes sense to me. Any idea when they were first called rainbow tables?

Fair enough, but many (probably most) of the people this training is aimed at have no idea what a reverse phone book is. I haven't seen a physical copy of one for a couple of decades. Do you have a source for the origin of the name, o

OK, so "rainbow table" is what we all call them, but frankly I've always found that name to be baffling. Why are they called that? What is the origin of the name? What do they have to do with rainbows? Yes, googling "

I agree, but driving while high is not at all safe. Sure, it's less bad than drinking, but it's still more dangerous than driving when sober (and rested). Accident rates have gone up since legalization. [0,1,2] [0] https:/

I agree with this observation. There are countless examples of companies making big money by taking advantage of that trait.

Small town living has its own charms, and having lived in big cities, medium-sized cities, and small towns, my preference is for places that are 50,000 people or smaller, with a city over 500,000 population no nearer than 90 minutes away. S
