    rather irrelevant to me since I know systemd doesn't do unbuffered output of services, that's my beef

    that's good; I did look at the ports, yup they don't have separate glibc for them thank goodness

    mac osx doesn't have but now I have to check out these porting systems...

    I have to do some "direct [MY] thinking and find a creative, hopefully simple, solution" to get normal stderr debugging with systemd? Is that not a huge warning sign?

    Funny you bring up windows, Matthew, I think Windows continues to be standard because of "herd mentality" without technical merit, maybe systemd has similar problem?

    Maybe more simple and straightforward runlevel hierarchical solutions already mostly fleshed out would be better for developing into something more useful and less unpredictable especially in emergency situations than systemd?

    yes WSUS exists to allow click-and-point weenies who know nothing about security or how computers actually do things or what real operating systems do, to fuck me over for those things I have to use windows

    much as I love OpenBSD I'm betting ALL the open source BSD have this problem too. a project's goals can be lofty but the security and bug find/fixing reality applies to them too

    base system has openssh server, web server, , some scripting languages, mail, routing and firewall.

    for more than that there are binary packages that include all the usual for servers and desktops, and ports for even more.

    Bill Gates said they would solve the spam problem a few years back. Yet my inbox under office365 that my employer uses is a chum bucket of spam, while good cron and batch job emails end up in "junk" half the time. wtf, Gates. billions and you couldn't at least have pushed domain a authentication/verification system?

  18. hey where did "4" go, that was the number of CDC mainframes that could hook to Extended Core Storage (and in later years that went to solid state with different name)

  19. biggest mag core memory for one machine I remember was for fully decked out IBM 370 model 165, 3 megabytes. ( the low end was 512M)

    CDC has a thing called ECS that up to CDC 6000 series could hook to and transfer to from their own core, 500K of 60 bit "words" which would be about 3.5MB

  20. fucking Cisco, quoted us $1400 for a 256MB flash memory arguing it was "tested and cisco certified". Fucking thing was DOA, of course they slapped their logo sticker on a piece of shit $5 stick
