I love how the flatlanders come out in force whenever Mark sneezes

So it’s more like Fox than we thought ?

Dood. Boot times are useless ‘flex’ metrics more influenced by processor and disk speed than init systems. My el5 and el6 archive systems boot faster than my el7 ELS system, which itself is faster than el9; but not by enough to matter when you’re booting every week to a month. It’s never BEEN an issue.

Compare complexity: Has your init system metastasized over the entire host and re-implemented (poorly) other core systems, so long-dependable features just simply don’t work, and everything has its own rinky-dink silly-walk to configure instead of /etc/fstab or /etc/exports, instead of staying in its lane? No? You’re good. Diversity and specialization will give you excellent results and security. Yes? You have systemd.

There’s your comparison.

so it’s like VOID

• rolling release
• no systemd, yay! That’ll be faster and probably better-built
• ‘make my own’ packaging scheme

but on top of that it builds

• kernel optimization
• RAM-tuning for browser
• ‘make my own’ supply chain

Let’s hope the homebrew supply of homebrew packages isn’t a SLSA-fail. I’ll give it a go just because it’s a post-systemd linux.

That’s over now. Who wants to get a pricy Canadian degree just to go get rounded-up in America and maybe killed in the gulags?

I’m gonna need sources for all that bunk you’ve written. It sounds very War Room.

I love how you’re putting a conservative provincial decision on a liberal federal rep. That’s some creative blamestorming, and they’d love to see us all do that.

I’m absolutely not surprised Temu MAGA are up to more anti-human shenanigans. It’s been their brand since Lougheed helped them weasel the election, slowly boiling that frog more each year.

Frackin’ dinosaur farts? Losers.

made due

made do?

Once it’s been contaminated with hydrocarbon sludge, what’s it useful for next?

It’s not like it’s rail, where after we’re done with it we’d have excellent track going from YEW to YVR.

pointless toys which just give $ to the USA.

You spell ‘sweden’ and ‘germany’ weird, but I know you meant to write the name of the places from which we made the last two significant military purchases.

atleast

Not a word. Never been a word.

everytime

Not a word yet. It may never be a word.

That’s when you hold the phone to your face - like a phone - so you can talk at a normal volume and hear people really well.

phones were designed to be used, well, like phones. People holding them like a slice of pizza and shouting into them like some narcissist ‘reality’ TV contestant are carefully defeating all the optimisation and annoying everyone on the same city block as them.

We were at a restaurant just tonight next to a table where a man had a FaceTime on speakerphone for like a half-hour.

Remember when that was impolite?

I hope they can drop a fix for voice chat in wow. I’m not thinking blizzard will refactor that to be built properly.

24 years working remotely. I cannot start work without being dressed in street clothes, at least. It’s a self-respect thing.

The exception is overnight incidents when I have the pager, but those are rare.

cutoff shroud

Without the space in “cut off” it makes it sound like a special kind of shroud.

We didn’t elect him for what he was. We elected him for what he was not. He was not Pierre Polievra or Harper or oToole . And he’s doing VERY well at not being them.
