Lennart Poettering Announces the First Systemd Conference
jones_supa writes: Lennart Poettering, the creator of the controversial init system and service manager for Linux-based operating systems has announced the first systemd conference. The systemd.conf will take place November 5-7, in Berlin, Germany. systemd developers and hackers, DevOps professionals, and Linux distribution packagers will be able to attend various workshops, as well as to collaborate with their fellow developers and plan the future of the project. Attendees will also be able to participate in an extended hackfest event, as well as numerous presentations held by important names in the systemd project, including Poettering himself.
Ah, but with every single major distro adopting it, you better quit crying and get used to it, buddy!
You don't seem to realize that an init script is SUPPOSED to terminate...
I've written init scripts, I know how they work, thanks.
systemd cannot restart the init script.
An init daemon could re-run the init script with the "status" option, and if that exited non-true then it could re-run it with the "start" option, and if that exited non-true then it could give up and interrupt the boot process. That systemd can't do this is not my problem. That systemd won't do this has caused us all problems.
But systemd cannot use the init script OTHER THAN as a one-shot run.
That's because systemd is stupid.
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
Yeah, it'll be so terrible because... because...
Can you explain why this is a bad thing? Or is this another purely emotional "I don't like it!" tantrum?
Legit question. It's monolithic and tries to exist as if "binary logging" is the only real problem. Oh how can we fix it, yeah, later well we just change the logging to a simple readable format. See? It's ok. It was just a distraction feature in advance. It's all good now.
The problem with systemd is... it's monolithic. Monolithic architectures are fucking stupid. Modular architectures are more stable and secure because they are modular. Imagine if you had a cramp in your hamstring so you couldn't wake up in the morning until it went away. Imagine if you stub your toe and you died.
Mad because I posted this antagonistically? For those who are? Good. Implicitly: fuck you special. Now extract the facts from what I said you little pussified generation punks you.
If you can even extract facts. If you can't extract facts, bitch a lot because it makes me laugh.
For all you other dickheads looking stupid trying to ridicule legit criticism of systemd, fuck you. https://peter.fedorapeople.org/NoPoettering.svg
Google image search all of the poses of this clown. He's a real ham on his best day. I just did. He looks like he may just be designing systemd to attract a better boyfriend.
I'm not going to wait 8 fucking minutes each to reply to each and every dumbfuck I just saw. Slashdice likes to be one with facebook and twitter ahh man how fucking great. What a great ecosphere this website is. Let's just wait to submit a comment.
Queue all the home-cubicles now to see who gets to flail their almighty mod-points-that-don't-mean-shit first. I fully expect all the tantrums now. Tell me how I'm mad and butthurt and a troll because YOU are unable to discern facts from emotion. I guarantee the smartest that read this will chuckle and nod and probably add nothing because it is already a comprehensive point well-made.
systemd is somewhat like the Windows registry. Monoliths fuck your shit up for no good reason. Don't bother telling me systemd is not a registry, I already know. Read that again every 8 seconds if you are this new generation with attention spans shorter than goldfish. Monolithic SUCKS. Monolithic culture ALSO SUCKS. It's why we have NATIONS. Now look up the definition of nation for bonus Sunday clues. Do you live in a nation?
And actually no need for any development, as it is finished and works reliably. Apparently, systemd fanatics do not understand these concepts. But how could they, none of either is to be found in the object of their worship.
Most ACs are not even worth the keystrokes to insult them. Be generically insulted by this and ignored otherwise.
It's a fact that systemd proponents abuse moderation to support systemd. It is my assumption that they do this because they know systemd is shit, and that they are shit, and they can't handle the scrutiny.
