  2. Re:this is just dumb on State Employees Say Rules Prevent Open "Climate Change" Discussion In Florida · · Score: 1

    if you read the article, the ban on these words is not a "DEP policy" but "But four former DEP employees from offices around the state say the order was well known and distributed verbally statewide.". Makes it look like someone has an agenda

  3. Climate Change IS NOT political, its verifiable fact. The political bit of it is spoken by politicians, bloggers, fossil fuel proponents etc who have no climate science training or expertise i.e. those that make up stuff to suit their personal/political opinion that is not backed up by verifiable facts. Scientists get dragged onto TV panels/interviews etc to dispel the nonsense of non-scientific personal/political opinions (and is not the scientists being political)

  4. stating verifiable facts is not politics, its more anti-politics as it undermines the politicians fabrications

    Possibly linked to the utilities opposition to solar in Florida seeing how the fossil industry seems to be linked very closely to the politicians- here's a comment from them "The utilities have said that solar is not as effective in Florida because the state’s cloud cover makes solar panels inefficient." http://www.tampabay.com/news/b...

    the first tech preview was very flakey, the Vivaldi_TP2_1.0.94.2.x86_64.rpm is a lot better and more stable, just downloading the 3rd one now vivaldi-preview-1.0.118.19-1.x86_64.rpm

    " Obviously nobody with the least bit of clue would expect logs to be cleanly written on failing disks, hence this is not even a subject for discussion" exactly so if rsyslog logs are corrupted its expected but if journald logs are corrupted, its the fault of systemd, great logic

    " Failing disks or filesystems are detected rightfully by the kernel, nothing else has any business doing so" so what else does?

    ""Different from systemd "logging", rsyslog will not make the log problem worse by using a binary format " - it doesn;t make any difference what format the logs are written in, if the location of the log file data is trashed, then its totally or partially unreadable in any format.

    " and for remote logging will transfer the messages off-site." and if the system fails before rsyslog is actually running or the network is not yet loaded? rsyslog is loaded quite late in the boot process as opposed to journald

    the only dependencies are systemd, journald and udev. all others are configurable for use. if a developer makes changes to his/her app to depend on systemd in any way, its their development choice and their efforts.

    anti-systemd attacks have no merit, they are just a list of vitriolic personal attacks on the developers and lies about what systemd does or can do.

    If systemd had no merit, it would not be adopted by so many distros

    well as you seem so negative about systemd. why not create and publish a report comparing all the features of systemd and various other init systems as you see them and what your solution is to counter all the systemd features and stand up and present it to Red Hat et al and make your case? Get some of the anti-systemd supporters to help. so far all i've seen from the anti's is personal opinions of systemd and personal attacks on the developers, nothing really technically decisive only misinformed comments touted as "information"

    "The carrot is making things as easy as possible for the people who write init scripts in distros" - nothing wrong with that.

    "The stick are the emotional posts that the author spreads throughout the internet " - can you link to those, all i've seen is him answer the stupid trolls misinformed understanding of how systemd works? i can't see pointing out the obvious as a "stick", must make the rest of the distro decision makers a bunch of wimps.

    "It is also my understanding that SystemD is taking the approach of wrapping up quite a number of those software pieces into one tool/process." - wrong, all the other processes are optional. Unfortunately the collective software project is also called "systemd" so people get confused that when other processes are mentioned and think that the systemd executable does it all.

    if a disk is corrupting sectors where the logs (or anything) are being written, nothing will stop the corruption, not even syslog or rsyslog. "systemd apparently does not even try to." -eh?
