    well, go ahead and fork. what stopping you? talent?

  2. Re:What path have we chosen? on Systemd Absorbs "su" Command Functionality · · Score: 1

    "systemd is on the way to turning a sleek, efficient Linux distribution into one loaded with awesome bloatware." - rubbish "And it looks like there is no stopping Poettering's ego now that it's been unleashed." yet another personal attack based on what? Jealousy?

  3. Re:Thinking about leaving any systemd linux behind on Systemd Absorbs "su" Command Functionality · · Score: 1

    do you expect knowledge of a new system to ooze out of the ether into your head? there are pages and pages of documentation out there. RTFM. tip: "journalctl" is for reading the new journal or if you still have syslog configured to run then do what you usually do.

    why don't you go a find out why they've created this new feature instead of going on a rant.

    if a command/script or whatever is broken for your use case, what do you do?

    hasn't your mum changed your nappy in a while as your post is full of shit.

  7. Re:Haters gonna hate in on Systemd Absorbs "su" Command Functionality · · Score: 1

    no, the standard "su"/"sudo" is not deprecated so its not an issue. people write specific programs to solve specific issues for them.

  8. Re:quality engineering on Systemd Absorbs "su" Command Functionality · · Score: 1

    "There is no reason the creation of privileged sessions should depend on a particular init system." are you saying no-one can write anything that helps themselves if they have a reason to do so? If he'd deprecated "su"/"sudo" them you'll you'll have a valid question.

    you obviously didn't understand what you read.

    " When you see a large complex system running as root," now why didn't you say "When you see systemd running as root" which was the implication

    Have they moved to the Hurd kernel to maintain their ideals?

    "The problem of course is that he doesn't understand the Unix way [catb.org]," i don't get this complaint at all especially when there ares such things as the Linux Kernel are not complained about in the same way. Virtually every troll is really a personal attack on LP using the vehicles of PA or Systemd. I have yet to see anyone in these forums dissecting the code of these projects.
    All trolls posts on this particular subject are based on the assumption "su" has been deprecated so it just shows you how little people read about something before the open their gob and stick both feet in.

    jeez, i think you need to see someone about that jealousy problem you appear to have about LP

    "who still has not produced one piece of good software in his life" - personal opinion based on jealousy. put up the list of software you've developed that in use by the community and we'll compare.

    why don't you start it? at least LP has got the balls to do something and not spend his time hiding behind AC and trolling like a child

  16. Re:Bullshit on Systemd Absorbs "su" Command Functionality · · Score: 2

    if he did fix "su", most posters here would troll him anyway so why not leave "su" as it is and create a solution that fits his needs?

  17. Re:Hang on a minute... on Systemd Absorbs "su" Command Functionality · · Score: 1

    just because you didn't, doesn;t mean someone else hasn't. you probably only use it in trivial ways. plus the fact su isn't deprecated so its not an issue for you

    you'll just have to accept not everyone gets progress when its in their field because they might have to learn some new stuff.

    You'll need to read why it was implemented.

    machinectl shell is useful for getting shell sessions that are entirely isolated from the originating session in local containers or the host.

    Is it going to coexist in parallel with the old su? - yes it is.

    i think "drought" is a bit over the top for the UK if you compare it to real droughts around the world. a few dryer periods sounds more like it

    why desalinate more? just pump the excess water in the flood regions to the places that need it. its just the infrastructure that is required.

    Once the heavy reliance on fossil fuel is over, they could convert the oil pipelines to water pipelines. As most of the oil producing countries are desert like, the roles could be reversed.
