its not superfluous, its more comprehensive than rsyslog, it starts logging earlier than rsyslog can, it logs after rsyslog has stopped. but if you don't want the binary log info, you can discard it. If that alternative was elegant, why wasn't it adopted across all distros?
"complaints" against something doesn't mean they are true, it can just mean they are they don't like "new". people will complain about something even if its faultless.
again, the logging is overblown because you can still have text logging so its used as a stick to beat systemd even though text logging still works.
again, that DNS component is optional. i'm sure they'll fix it at some point as they are discussing it now so until then use what you use now.
i didn't see anything in the blog post that says "sacrifices security (susceptible to ARP attacks) in favor of speed" but it does say they are pretty much the same speed as all other implementations so does that mean all other implementations are also sacrificing security in faour of speed?
Why don;t you create a blog and expand on all those assertions you've made about systemd so it is easily explained to all of us? All you seem to have done is put out your opinion with nothing to back it up - how can we make an informed decision on heresay?
Seems a bit rich as most of the vitriolic trolling was/still is the "anti-systemd" and "anti-LP" variety - what are they scared of now? I can't see anyone who is okay with systemd going to troll them, the only trolls they'll get will be the idiots who troll anything and everything because thats all they have to live for.
Its good to see there are some people out there that are willing to put their money where their mouth is. I wish them luck with their endeavors.
I think the fact that it was the whole flock, rather than just a couple, that decamped and came back is important. A couple of birds going off to another destination is not unusual.
You could say the same about indicators - why not just indicate by sticking your arm out the window and wave it about like it was done in the past? The march of progress continues.....
I can say the same thing about driving and no accidents but i've had some near misses with bicycles and pedestrians appearing out of nowhere because i was checking mirrors on the opposite side (trying to work out if the motorbike on the outside of you is going to go passed or hover in your blind spot)
What if they disappeared behind the pillar whilst you were checking something on the other side of the vehicle and you didn't see them before they "hid" behind the pillar?
I see it as progress. I'd rather have a visual of the sides of my vehicle shown on the wasted space on the bottom of windscreen (i.e. if you looked through you only saw the bonnet(hood) ) without having to turn my head to only look in one direction. The sooner we can get rid of external mirrors the better, (mind you if the camera broke you'd be snookered). Without mirrors and all the relevant info on the windscreen (and maybe audible sounds for bikes etc), you could see things like bikes appearing rather than "just appearing" whilst you were looking over your shoulder in the other direction. I'm sure some of the truckers and bus drivers in towns and cities would love a system like this.
MABYE SOME PEOPLE SHOULDN'T BE DRIVING AT ALL. - this attitude assumes that everyone is alert 100% of the time and never ever lapse in concentration - that's utopia and it unfortunatley doesn't exist
"I almost wonder if more accidents wont be saved by calling up the attention of pedestrians to the car than the other way around." - that would certainly be true especially if ALL road users and pedestrians attention was perked up. But the reality is that all people get distracted either walking, cycling or driving. The extreme answer would be that every vehicle and every person should have an audible sensor on them, on vehicles it alerts on presence of pedestrians, bicycles and all motor vehicles and on pedestrians it alerts on bicycles and motor vehicles. I think that might be the only way to get as close to an accident free life as possible.
Considering what Tesla are doing with their in car systems (i.e. over the air software upgrades), i expect Ford are looking to the future rather than just the present
I've not seen anything about house sized non-battery solutions yet unfortunately but there could be community sized ones. For some reason a lot of innovators seem to want to produce the "big bang" units first.
There are developments in to tidal pumping of sea water e.g. https://www.ecotricity.co.uk/n....
Your arguments make sense if you are only relying on one source of power generation and storage. As all of these new ways are still relatively young in development, there is plenty of scope for improvement. Not many ideas translate into instant success.
yes, but as i mentioned, solar shouldn't be the only solution in any areas and especially where its not practical. A lot of the negative responses to an article about solar or wind or some new tech always make the assumption its going to replace existing tech completely, no-one in their right mind would place all their eggs in one basket
If all new housing was built close to passive house standards, i.e. properly insulated, heat/air recovery system etc then the demand on the utility will be a lot lower. There are houses here in the UK built to this german standard and they effectively get free heating/lighting because they have a solar system to generate power. Here are a couple of examples how 2 places in Europe have been clever about their power generation. http://cleantechnica.com/2014/... and http://cleantechnica.com/2014/...
Yes, but you tailor your power solution to the environment, no-one is suggesting that solar should be the only option. Clean power is the driving force so hydro/nucleur/wind can be used in areas where solar is not a major player. There are storage solutions out there being developed that are not batteries, some old ones like pumping water uphill during excess power generation to be used in hydro.
The grid should never go away, its sensible to have a backup system that can also generate power in during the peaks. What the generation companies should do is invest in storage solutions to capture the excess power generated by household solar during the day. Once the all countries buildings are covered by solar panels, they can reinvent themselves as power storage companies and that should cut a load of costs for them
well, yeah. if you read a spectrum of news sites, you do notice sweetheart deals being done by industries new and old to either claim subsidies of some kind or cheap loans etc so no need for specifics. Maybe you need to read more.

"We do not want binary logs." - not this boring load of shit again. You can have text logs if you configure systemd to use rsyslog

I'm sure this was also reported years ago with TVs being an issue for sleeping, something about blue light being a disrupter

Not necessarily, plenty of different power cords are played by white boys and girls :)

I think you lack comprehension. try reading the links and then think before you post.

i just can't be bothered to type it all out for you when you can do some reading.

Try to mitigate the power an aircon uses by insulating your property to an inch of its life. A properly insulated house keeps the temperature steady.
