Indeed, I misremembered that. They don't say delete, they say the file gets rotated out immediately. And this bug report is famously linked as a demonstration of why systemd is hated for its developer attitude to the point that Lennart repsonded to it (today oddly enough). Corrupted files are not considered a bug and not getting fixed.
[Disclaimer: Yes I hate systemd and I proclaim that loudly. Everything below is my personal experience with systemd and why I hate it.]
If booting the machine up was all it did, then I probably wouldn't care. Most of my hate (I can't speak for the rest of the internet) comes from the fact that systemd does a lot more. It also tracks user logins using a mechanism (control groups) that isn't available in some container scenarios making systemd unusable in those environments (and by extension any distro mandating systemd). It does its own logging in binary which needs a tool to read the logs and if it gets corrupted then systemd's devs say "just delete the logs". Really?
But I think the best reason people hate it is because it makes other applications become dependent on it. GNOME is the most well known example but I've also seen that Centos7's Source RPMs have systemd-specific commands (macros?) making it hard to build them on other platforms. rsyslog doesn't listen on/dev/log because systemd is doing something with the socket now. You cannot start services without systemd being the one to do it.
This is the hate. systemd isn't just an init system, it becomes part of your daily life. I liken it to the MCP (Master Contrl Progam) from the first TRON movie. It's systemd's way or the highway.
Ordinarily I would agree, but systemd's "MCP-like" behaviour (TRON reference, I honestly believe that's a valid simile) means that uselessd has a chance of being a replacement for systemd packages of existing distributions. If I can put this in place of systemd on centos7 and have it boot in an unprivileged container (currnetly impossible with stock) then that's a win in my book.
You can't just switch systemd for openrc in an existing distribution without some major resistance. Believe me, I wish it could or I would just install openrc or upstart. That's the problem - systemd is claiming distributions and the list of alternatives is unnervingly small.
Here's a true story. I was in a CentOS 7 system via chroot and trying to troubleshoot some problems. If it were CentOS 6 I would just run "service rsyslog start" and have syslog running in the chroot so I can get the diagnostics I was expecting, but since systemd wasn't actually running I couldn't do that. I had to launch rsyslog directly by command-line, but then it didn't listen on/dev/log like it's supposed to and I had no logging. After all, it's systemd integrated now and gets its listen socket a different way. And this is just the most recent incident.
Systemd may be technically better than sysvinit but the latter is just shell scripts which are sufficiently independent of anything else and just work. Systemd takes over your machine and wants to get its hands into everything to the point that you can't even use it anymore without systemd. This is what we're worried about what will happen to X.Org and other software.
Libvirt provides its own container launcher under the name "lxc". As I understand it this software is developped and maintained with libvirt. This is different software from the standalone project known as "LXC" as linked in the article.
There's two projects named "lxc" - the one linked in the article ( https://linuxcontainers.org/ ) and one that's part of libvirt as a hypervisor driver. RHEL 7 includes the latter.
Now, time to download it and see how much has changed since the RC.
I know DSL, being an ATM-based technology and often subjected to PPPoE overhead, will score lower than rated. I have a 5 megabit connection but that's the sync rate. You can realistically expect to lose 9-10% just from the above overheads. That rather fits with the graphs I'm seeing.
I've seen some ISPs compensate by setting the sync rate above the advertised rate but most don't.
I would argue that everything with writable firmware should have some kind of jumper on it (default: on) to write protect the firmware. Thus you can only patch firmware by inserting a jumper on the right pins.
Still, anyone should think twice before being told "short these contacts on your battery in order to enable firmware updates."
Not officially, but collision detection can be abused to trick the game into believing a solid wall is ground beneath Mario's feet, allowing him to jump. Frame-precision is needed, hence the tool-assisted aspect of it.

Flash cookies, or even any temp files left behind by video playback. I've heard it happen. See if anything was left in your Temp directory matching "Flash*" and play it back as.flv or.mp4. Very incriminating evidence
Hypothetical scenario: an ISP is under DDoS attack originating from some fixed foreign IP. Since it becomes impossible to "block access" without CRTC approval, does that mean the ISP has to take it like a bitch while waiting from the OK to have it blackholed? What about any other kinds of attacks? What about Spam filtering?
I really don't think the CRTC really understands the issue. I should know, I listened to some of the public hearings a few months back.
At this rate I'm starting to question if we'll ever have a 2.7 "alpha/beta" series since all the major new features above and beyond stand-alone device drivers seem to be going right into the current branch.
From my interpretation, you buy stamps first and send mail later. This isn't a case of botnets racking up bills, this is a case of credit card fraud fueling spam.
Hate to reply to myself, but I just remembered a good site I once registered with and I thought others might find it interesting or amusing. It asked me for a security question, but when I checked the headers at the top of the page it said I was already logged in and there was a View My Account button. Curious, I tried it and it worked and I didn't need to enter a security question. Awesome.
Obviously, I tried logging out and in (asked me to set a question, ignored it) and tried a password reset. The reset failed because I didn't have a security question set. Even better!
Regretably a few sites I visit regularly (including my bank) may prompt me for these questions, so a question of "Mash the keyboard!" and an answer of "alsjdgiosadln" no longer works.
Instead, as someone already stated, I select a secret question of "What is my password?" and if it's necessary for a second, "Type my password backwards." (answer: drowssap)
And finally, if it's a question to be asked by a human (tech support for an ISP I know of does this now), the question is something silly. As fun as "What are you wearing?" would be, I have sympathy for the employees and instead have "The Joker is invading Gotham - what do I do?"
That's in bits, not bytes. To put it in perspective, that's only 10 times faster than dialup when I can easily get 100 times faster than dialup on my somewhat plain ADSL connection.
Okay, so maybe I should have qualified it with "when used correctly." Closed source won't protect you if your administrator password is "password" any more than openssl can protect you from using a 128 bit RSA key.
What I meant to say is more along the lines of "we invented our own crypto, and we can't give you the documentation for it because doing so would make it crackable," or generally "we depend on security through obscurity." But the point is taken.

Suddenly your INPUT chain policy of DROP kills all traffic and your ssh session drops. (You do have a default policy of DROP, right?)
Seriously, don't do that on an unknown system.

Ugh, replying to myself. I missed the link in the post.
But nothing's changed, right? It's the same chassis, same diagrams from backblaze. Only ~2 years of bigger drives is new.
Yet another dup from long ago
Does this mean web designers will start making their web sites actually work when users without javascript try to use them?
(The list of offenders is too long to name.)
Ghostery is another Firefox add-on that does much the same, except also supports blocking the cookies.

I just checked my system. /dev/sda1 is /dev/sda + 32256 bytes, which is 63 512-byte sectors. /dev/sda2 is also on an odd-numbered sector alignment.
Fedora 11 fresh install, which is less than a year old.

It's pig latin. Like the GP said.
1) Drop the "ay" suffix: Anc ouy eadr isth?
2) Move the last letter to the first: cAn you read this?
There's other rules, but this'll get you by. Apparently it's stronger than rot13.
