This dreadfull bastard of slowness and bugs has been dumped by me after I encountered about 1 crash, freeze or reboot per week. (on frssh LMDE install beginning 2015) It is completely utter sillyness to expect endusers to use a kiddy fiddely software piece of junk. Switched to Mate (i.e. gnome2) and it was 10 times faster, and has not crashed since 2 months.
Today's search engine like to optimize results for you. So you get the results based on past searches and clicks. This puts you into your own personal bubble. You only find stuff you already know because you only get links relevant to your personal knowledge field. But what you actually search is a different view on the world, not your own view. To escape that, you would need to remove all cookies and even change to a completly different PC or ISP or country. This should be a user user accessible feature. Sort of "amnesia search".
In Luxembourg, from the first years in school on, we learn french and german. And additionally learn the local Luxembourgish. Later, english is added.
So everybody is trilingual, but often from parents there are 1 or 2 other languages added. And learning 5 languages as a kid is in fact no problem at all.
Yeah, bug 1 was resolved recently. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubu... But as I see it, using systemd makes linux as useless and undebuggable than windows. So there is no point to use linux, nothing different, sam black box as windows. Result: microsoft has won. Thanks Poettering.
Solving Bug 1 by making linux the same as Windows. Yeah! Sure, that's how you do it!
It heppens that an extension does not install because the firefox version does not match. The only thing not OK is the developer not having submitted a new file where the version is changed. I usually unpack the extension, change the firefox version and repack it again. And it works flawlessy. Now, with signing, this will probably be impossible.
it actually updates systemd in ram by doing a reexec Something which was possible for other processes. To do this with the PID1 is something new. And if that is going to work all the time is a mystery.
You could expect kernel panic on a systemd update.
... but noone listens to me anyway. You can also ask any cryptoexpert. There are ways to crypt and also have decrypting by court order only. PKI plus public key of authorities, decryptable by 2 keys. government decrypt key is owned by multiple people so decrypting without court order is difficult Won't work for OTR obviously
...except for shellshock. that's a bug and got fixed. prove me wrong. and not with the classic file '-rf' as that's not executing but just plain parameter passing (which really should get fixed to be less likely to break stuff, i.e. fix GNU getopt)
is this from an old Microsoft presentation? Sound like it. Yeah, systemd will make linux into windows, i.e. it will die. because if you want unmaintainable OS, just use windows, it has all the softwares.
systemd basically transforms linux into windows. If you want to use windows, with it's hidden startup, binary logfiles and other cumbersome and useless administrator (non-)functionality then just go ahead and install windows. Don't shovel those silly concepts down the throats of millions of happy linux users.
I have seen similar stuff on other unixes, like AIX and Solaris. It's a headache, non controllable and impossible to debug. After linux goes to systemd, the only OS left with a file-based philosophy will be BSD and... HP-UX!
Maybe we can hope that HP-UX gets ported to x86 after Itanium is dead. And that HP never gets the idea "oh everyone else uses databases/xml/binary for system relevant data, let's just fuck it up and do the same"
Well my next linux is going to be non-systemd, and if there's none, well then it's to be a BSD. After linux for the desktop never happened, linux in general will not happen. It was a nice time, I'll move on. Which BSD is the best "distro"?
well, looks like awk borrowed stuff from everywhere. Like the invisible string concat reminds me of what echo does with it's parameters in the shell.
and it's still my preferred way of doing things. I solved a lot of problems on codeeval.com with awk, and got quite good results. The code is really fast.

I would like to have the ASCII theme for the log deamon instead of the sandard BINARY theme

yeah, that will maybe piss everyone off, but still not enable ISIS to spread their terror messages.
yes. and not patched.
like windows 2003, which is stull in support, but so badly designed that a patch is not possible.
on patch day, not only the trutype thingie got fixed, but 35 other remote code executions in MSIE.
thirtyfive!
Shows code quality.
and glibc "ghost"
oh wait...
that one was mostly a publicity stunt from the security company.

Pinning firefox in apt ...
it actually updates systemd in ram by doing a reexec
Something which was possible for other processes.
To do this with the PID1 is something new.
And if that is going to work all the time is a mystery.
You could expect kernel panic on a systemd update.
... so I can stay away from it and know when to change to BSD
just renamed all my "root" users to "admin" :-)
Try to bruteforce that!
Maybe I should rename to "Ht695rdwP"
google translate, translates correctly to SSH
DrWeb, such good "researchers" they can't even translate their own shit
Now that's easy to remember!
Spaceballs is old, now it's IT crowd, and it makes for way better passwords.
... but noone listens to me anyway.

Won't work for OTR obviously
or reboot, interact with grub, start a shell ...
instructions are a google search away for "recover from lost root password"
we need a tacky name for that windows vulnerability, else it's never going to make the news!
centos: /etc/group
# grep wheel
wheel:x:10:root
redhat 5 /etc/group
# grep wheel
wheel:x:10:root
redhat 6 /etc/group
# grep wheel
wheel:x:10:root
in other news: chmod +s bash does not work as bash has code which does not allow itself to be SUID. :-)
Seems too many people actually did that
how does systemd compare to solari's SMF?
I did not at all get along well with SMF. Too cumbersome for the little bonus it brings.
...except for shellshock.
that's a bug and got fixed.
prove me wrong.
and not with the classic file '-rf' as that's not executing but just plain parameter passing (which really should get fixed to be less likely to break stuff, i.e. fix GNU getopt)
