no i'm sorry, you are right.
i have spent enough time to elaborate with people who simply don't understand/don't care the job i do.
Just let me choose not to use systemd and all his amazing features that make you orgasm whenever someone names it.
Time will tell us if this is the new paradigm of modern operating systems or it is the new HAL.
True the syslog format is simple to use, easy to parse, etc, but it doesn't work all that well for anything more than simple logs.
what are you talking about? none is forcing you to use syslogd if you don't want to use it: apache, nginx, mysql, etc. etc. all of them use
their own format and they can simply bypass syslogd .
there's no need to add binary format except for the fact that now i could have all those logs corrupted and unreadable where before i could have at least
got some part of the information.
Sure, i can disable it.. how long before it would be mandatory due to some dependency?
Yes but add those 5 seconds up hundreds of times and they do add up to something. The real question is what are you loosing by cutting 5 seconds off of your boot times? I would assume nothing. And what are you gaining by cutting 5 seconds off of your boot time? You are gaining your time back,
Seems like the pros outweigh the cons to me.
since it's a server we are talking about it's a 5 seconds every 3 months or even more (depending on security issue kernel updates etc. etc.) . so yeah in total i'd save 1 minute per year which doesn't justify all the rest of the problems systemd gives me.
We could argue about desktop systems and the given benefits of systemd for that environment but, for servers there are no real gains and there are real pains (i don't want my apache to be restarted if it's crashed i want to go and solve the problem, that is my job and by doing that systemd is actually not helping at all).
Also indexed logging is something that isn't really needed by people with a GUI, it's needed by system admins who actually need to look over their logs. My RHEL7 systems ship their logs just fine with syslog, but when I am on the system I love being able to filter logs with journald. I keep seeing people complain about not being able to grep/awk/whatever through their logs but pipe seems to work fine for me with journald.
it is not complaining about grep awk or sed it's the fact that syslog format is easy to use and be parsed if you know your job. so journald solved a problem that only those too lazy to learn regex or basic unix tools were having .
on the other hand journad introduces problems like corruption and unreadability of logs that before we hadn't .
I manage several hundred servers and I would love faster boot times. Nothing worse than wasting my time waiting for a machine to come back online.
It's these kinds of statements that show no knowledge of what part of the boot is the OS and what part is the hardware that make me cry about the current state of system administrators. If a significant time of your wait is for the OS to load, then you've configured your server wrong or are using toy hardware.
By far the largest amount of time taken in boot for servers is the hardware checks. For VMs, boot times are already less than 15 seconds, even including the "hardware check", so that's no big deal.
And, for systems that get rebooted once ever 3 months or so, even a minute isn't really a big deal. The only time I really care about boot times are when I'm running through a lot of reboots on the same system, which is usually only when it is first installed and I'm doing hardware config.
totally agree: on VM boot time is already under 30 seconds which is fast enough. on physical machine 90% of wait time is due to hardware/bios checks, that 5 seconds less is not going to change my life.
Let me add: if your problem is having a fast boot/reboot of your server and your architecture rely on those 5 seconds less than there's something wrong in your architecture.
Actually the problem is that systemd is forced: you can choose your browser, you can choose your web server of choice, you can't choose your init (debian i'm looking at you) .
from an us point of view that could be the only benefit but, European here - thanks to marriage your partner can also get:
- a fraction of your pension in case of death
- a fraction of your inheritance despite your testament
- she/he can stay near your bed in hospital in case of severe injuries
- she/he can decide/firm for some cures/treatments instead of your parents
i have been living with my girlfriend/spouse these last ten years or so, she knows what i think about death, euthanasia and so on. i trust, in case of incidents she will
be able to put the right decision, the one i most believe in.
i know my parents, i know we have opposite idea about euthanasia and frankly, in case something happened to me i really doubt that they would respect my idea and that they would go with their.
so yeah, marriage is only a piece of paper but one that has a big importance.

* journald will no longer forward all local data to another running syslog
daemon. This change has been made because rsyslog (which appears to be the
most commonly used syslog implementation these days) no longer makes use of
this, and instead pulls the data out of the journal on its own. Since
forwarding the messages to a non-existent syslog server is more expensive
than we assumed we have now turned this off. If you run a syslog server that
is not a recent rsyslog version, you have to turn this option on again
(ForwardToSyslog= in journald.conf).
well your concerns are good but i think that instead of fighting the idea to give your DNA you should pretend that the dna will be used only for
that investigation, that any information will be destroyed afterward and that - no matter what - it will be used against you from health insurance corp.
from TFA:
>For Fisher the trouble started when instead of just viewing the films for personal entertainment, he allegedly went on to share copies on BitTorrent.
what if my computer is stolen or simply hacked and then those films were putted on bittorrent from someone else?
Do i have to be responsible of those movies even in those circumstances so, i don't own them but i'm responsible
as if i was a co-author ?
i'd really like to waste my time on developing a driver for nvidia, for free but also because i see it as a way to say to the world how good (or how bad) i am at writing code.
in the end i'd even give it for free to nvidia so other can work with it and help the o.s. driver grow.
we can't and you know why ? because nvidia doesn't give away specs for their hardware, they are very jealous of their "i.p." and to do that driver you need to go for reverse engineering which, right now, other than being hard and long way is even illegal in most country.
so i agree with linus, f**ck you nvidia, at least amd is supporting o.s.
what you say is reasonable but there are a lot of assumptions and i really would like to see some numbers.
Back in the old days pc were relatively polluting and none ever thought about that.
Now we know of all the toxic problem related to their making - and their reciclying - so most companies are working on making them more "green".
So what about solar panel ? Are they made with this concepts in mind or are they made just as cheap as possible without taking in account pollution made to make them or not?
How long does it takes to make them "greener" or , using math, when this is true ?
"amount of electricity of one panel per day" * "X days" + "pollution produced to make that panel" > "pollution per day of a fossile fuel power plant giving the same amount of electricity"
(i really hope it's readible)
Also you forget that solar panel will not last forever, so depending on the X of the equation above you can make some good assumption rather than running to solar panel because "they told me it's green so it must be".
I'm very happy to see this kind of competition however from a scientific prospective i see some problem:
saying you save co2 with solar energy is a bit "gross", first to produce all those solar panels you had to pollute
the environment so the first question someone should ask is : ok solar is good but how much do you pollute
to produce one flat panel ? Are we sure the pollution made (and i'm not speaking only about amount of CO2
but also toxic in rivers, sea etc. etc. ) to make a solar panel is less than the one we would make to make the same
power from "classic" method ?
CO2 savings: well this is just ridiculous: a nuclear reactor, a wind reactor, a carbon fuel power plant, a hydroelectric power plant.
4 ways of getting electricity, four different amount of Co2 produced, so from what kind of power plant does your electricity come,
this is how you try to figure out your real "co2 savings" .
Next thing to speak about should the fact that our pollution doesn't come only from Co2 but from toxic wastes too, so measuring
pollution with Co2 is ineffective and misleading.
I really DO care for my planet and sometimes looks like all this "environmental talks" are just exscuses to push new products rather than
really doing something to make earth a better place for our future generations but I might be wrong .
Besides is Linus really "free"? My time has value too (about $50/hour) and the hours I spent trying to connect to my ISP could have been spent earning overtime at work, buying Windoze for ~$120, and still having some cash leftover in my pocket. Sometimes it's worth handing-over the credit card to get plug-and-play software, rather than put-up with free software's constant need to "configure" everything.
Even with plug and play software you have sometimes to stay hour to fix a problem because they aren't doing what they were told to do, so in that case you have spent $$ to buy the program and you have to spent time trying to fix problem or either contact customer support to find a way to solve the problem.
This is not about Foss or proprietary sw, it's about wether a program is good or not and if their "default config" is enough satisfying for the 99% of the users who are just beginning with it.
So maybe today you will find your linux distro more enjoyable since many default configuration works for lots of people and you haven't to spend time making custom configs.
I don't suppose your proposal has any more detail to it?
no sorry, i just know the system today is flawed but i don't have any serious proposal.
Actually, anyone doing research really doesn't have to worry about other people's patents.
Since the beginning, patent law has recognized a strong research exemption from infringement.
So if you're doing research that you simply want to donate to the commons, then you have nothing to worry about.
Now, if you plan on selling the invention or using it in your business, *then* you need to worry about patents.
yes that's what i'm talking about R&D for business since the one for the "commons" is mostly a matter of universities rather than private companies.
true.
stronger ip laws will lead to even less R&D or to R&D which will involve 50% of the people there just to check if there hasn't been alread a previous IP on that idea .
it is time to wipe out patent and copyright or rewrite it from the scratch to help evolve and not involve
page 16 (or 14) there are the top 10 isp supporting p2p piracy:
Telecom italia is named twice at 11.6% and 1.6%... how come they are twice ?
Iunet is named but the provider is named wind/infostrada .
later in the page they named what they DID in December 2009... clearly a typo but.. does anyone re read it before publishing it ?
i went to see that page and i found it really horrible.
the layout is not professional at all but rather one of those "conspiration page ALIENS ABDUCTED BY GOVERNMENT ZOMG ZOMG" template.
the "shocking" attitude
that spreading of opinion more like facts rather then.. opinion, which lead to "yes is true" "no it isn't because of this this and that" flamebait debate
the "get linux".. no really, i've been using linux on all my desktop and server since '98 but i'm aware of the fact that he's still not ready for end user joe the plumber also why not simply saying to look around for other oses ? it's not about windows vs linux it's about freedom of choice; what about freedos, what about bsd ?
If you want to fight for the cause i think fsf should focus on making linux desktop more friendly to end user while keeping a high level of "hackable" for those who know what to do.
I really hate these kind of campaign because they hurt my work and my reputation: when i go to a new client and i propose linux then i get that "you open source taliban yadda yadda yadda" and i have to spend a lot of time weighting sentences and phrases to explain why i proposed that solution based on linux, why it's a good thing for the company because of the less cost, etc. etc.
Now i have a new campaign that will drop out my credibility again: ah you use linux, you're an open source taliban where's you tin foil hat ?
seriously fsf, focus on coding, focus on producing good documentation on how to do "stuff" with linux, help on traslations for multilanguage.
if you want to get rid of that poisoning education help debian-edu to prepare a nice distro that can be easily installed on a school network .
NAT prevents direct attacks on Internet- connected machines
NAT prevents snooping of internal network structures
This is something you can activate on a router/firewall the same way today you activate Nat and Upnp to open some ports.
Really, it's just a matter of the configuration guy to drop by default incoming to connection not initiated by you and enable only the hosts that are allowed to receive it.
yeah lawyers can make a mess for everything but if there's a written agreemen they can't ignore it.
To the Author of the question: you can talk (through email) with your boss and make an agreement, the more you talk the less it is likely there would be a misunderstanding and it could be used in case some lawyers step in to claim anything.
Since you already have some software licensed to you it would be only a mess to change property of the laptop and the software and it could lead to problem misunderstanding etc. etc.
for his sake and yours it's better to just give $$ as a bonus without even saying it's because of the laptop.
On the other side you'll both write and sing an agreement that at the moment you are using your personal laptop to do your work and both you and your company are good about this .
i did not know about this case so i went up looking back to all the story and trying to figure out what happened i've runned across these two
that explain a bit
http://www.infoworld.com/d/adventures-in-it/why-san-franciscos-network-admin-went-rogue-286?page=0,0http://www.infoworld.com/d/data-management/childs-attempt-protect-network-password-gone-awry-978
What i'm now missing is what were his duties in the contract and who he had to provide those passwords.
this document http://www.sfgov.org/site/uploadedfiles/dtis/coit/Policies_Forms/CCISDA_security.pdf cited in some
post here is only about personal passwords and not system ones.
So a sysadmin keeps an eye on security, he's asked by his boss in front of unauthorized people to reveal those passwords,
in a improvised meeting in a place outside the place where he works.
he refuse to say those passwords, he's suspended for unsubordination and some days later he's arrested, and he's still in prison
He can only be guilt of being an asshole or too paranoid but since he was the only one responsible for the whole SF Wan who wouldn't have
been ?
you really would have give away your passwords knowing that if the day after the network would have been down it would have been
your only responsability ?
- "B....bbbut i gave the password to my boss!"
- "Nice work! now you are fired and you'll be charged for the problem you caused with your inefficency"
no really.. this story is crazy
i really hope he will be released soon but then what about his lost job ?
what about the loss in credibility he has to suffer due to ignorance of news that portrayed him as digital version of bin laden ?
This might be more reasonable then it appears on face value.
By separating sports people based on gender you're admitting that women simply cannot compete with men physically.
it's not about segregation but rather keeping the competition as much fair as possible and keep that sport interesting.
that's the reason you don't see a male gymnast jumping around with a ball or a ribbon
This causes many female teams to be largely ignored
people don't go look for female baseball because they are not interested. in the same way they are not interested in floorball or male synchronized swimming.
here where i live female volleyball is quite famous and many people go see their matches
