Linux Kernel 2.6.32 LTS Reaches End of Life In February 2016 (softpedia.com)
An anonymous reader writes: The oldest long-term supported Linux kernel branch finally reaches end of life next month, but before going into the deepest darkest corners of the Internet, it just dropped one more maintenance release, Linux kernel 2.6.32.70 LTS. Willy Tarreau dropped the news about the release of Linux kernel 2.6.32.70 LTS on January 29, 2016, informing all us that this will most likely be the last maintenance release in the series, as starting with February 2016 it will no longer be supported with security patches and bugfixes. Linux 2.6 first came out in December, 2003, and 2.6.16 (the first long-term release) in March 2006.
Dice no longer own Slashdot.
Here, let me get you a paper towel or something for you to clean yourself up with--you look a bit foolish with all that foam hanging from your mouth.
Il n'y a pas de Planet B.
or swallowed the log message that clearly stated the problem
Sounds like someone hasn't setup systemd to their liking. In it's most verbose form journald will capture more and log more than any previous system including saving outputs from the console that previously were lost and capturing messages before syslog starts.
But you need to read the manual first, and if you don't like the defaults complain to the maintainer of your distribution, and has nothing to do with systemd itself which will only swallow logs if you tell it to.
The DEFAULT drops errors logged from the historical source errors are reported to.
That's FUCKING STUPID.
It's like putting a land mine in a dog owner's yard, then telling him he should have had a bunch of military engineers sweep his yard for mines before his dog got blown to bits.
NO YOU FUCKING MORON YOU DON'T PLACE THE MINES IN THE FIRST FUCKING PLACE!!!!!
9 out of 10 times when something goes wrong in your system it's your own damn fault. That's what logs are for, to inform you where you made the mistake.
By your logic, the only output we should get is a segfault to show that the program barfed, for only then it's the programmer's fault and for everything else, well, sucks to be you, why did you make that mistake?
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
