  1. Re:Distro: Debian Change: Scrap Systemd on Linux Turns 27 (omgubuntu.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Actually, asking for evidence and then, should it be provided, ignoring is is a tried-and-true propaganda technique and a favorite of some type of fanatic. Can be observed to be used all the time by the systemd-fanatics.

    You are simply a disgusting liar. Incidentally, I do not want the systemd-fanatics to believe anything. They are free to be as stupid as they like, as long as it does not affect me.

    When did a pro-systemd post ever made sense? These people cannot think.

    I non-subtly hinted that I am pretty sure you are lying. If you were not, you would be aware of all the fine web-pages that list and discuss the problems with systemd.

    This stuff must be completely non-critical. I can only imaging that all is routinely stolen and distributed globally anyways...

  5. Oh, and as a side-note: I do not care about 2030 in this thread. This ages old mini-reactor idea will materialize very likely not before 2040 and it may well be 2050 before you can actually get them, if ever. That is the timeline from the context. You do realize there is such a context, do you?

  6. So you have absolute truth about the future? Impressive. But that was not the part of his statement I did agree with.

    Indeed.

  8. Well, at least somebody that can match the meaninglessness of his action in his personality got it.

  9. Why did you say anything about NG at all?

  10. I don't understand people like you two.

    That is pretty obvious. What is also pretty obvious is that you do not understand the topic you are trying to discuss. Here is a hint: These topics are pretty complicated. Any simplified explanation will be wrong. That oversimplification may also be why you completely misinterpreted my statement.

  11. Ah, yes. And they have zero problems with, say, the contaminated water at Fuckushima these days, because we had such simple things figured out decades ago, right?

    Note to people with actual insight: Don't risk making a mess that you do not know how to clean up.

  12. And if you believe that, it is surprising that you even managed to learn to read and write. There are always alternatives. A real engineer knows that. Claiming something is without alternative is a purely political manipulation technique.

  13. Yes, all "easy", "simple", "safe" and "cheap". When will you nuclear apologists finally stop the extreme lying and face that you are cheering for a failed technology?

    A log of people made a lot of money off the sodium failure. Obviously, other hope to repeat that now.

  15. Indeed. Basically the only thing that is not quite solved for renewables is off-hour storage and that will not take long now. Investing in nuclear now is a fool's errand.

    "Link please???" The war-cry of the systemd-fanatic that requires all in opposition to prove everything and proves nothing himself? Seriously? How stupid do you think we are?

    Actually, _most_ of Debian works fine with sysIVinit at this time.

    Stick to the facts scrupulously and exactly, like the pro-systemd faction you mean? Also, that you have not found stability issues does not imply others have the same experience.

    My thoughts exactly. Make it complex, behaving arbitrarily, reduce diagnostics possibilities (binary logging) etc. and many enterprise system administrators will just have their bosses pay for support instead of wading through the mess themselves.

    No need for anything else, really, as the systemd crap is replaced with a sane alternative.

    So, _of course_ you give your private key to Facebook's whatsapp.

    And at that point you have screwed up and all the bad things that result from this are your fault.

    Well, often arbitrary (some conditions may force you to make a specific assignment based on how the keys are generated), but the important thing is that before any use of the keys, the assignment which one is public and which one is private must be made and it then must be respected in all future use.

  24. Unfortunately, yes. Maybe the Intercept fucked her over because they did not think somebody with that name was real....

    That is why you do _not_ give your private key to anybody. The hint is in the name. Are you stupid?
