systemd lost the plot a long time ago. they stopped following the Unix philosophy and now they're busy adding nonsense like age verification. Just like Firefox, systemd doesn't understand its core user base. There are plenty of distros without systemd

@nixCraft It really has been taking a very wrong direction for quite some time. Lots of bloat and unnecessary components, poor standards, etc etc.
Apparently OpenRC is a really good alternative, but it comes at the catch that a lot of stuff is built to call systemd a dependency and will claim it can't work without it. *Sigh* Hopefully all this will result in a general switch away from that hot mess and proper support from everything for, well, anything else...

@nixCraft uh. What now
I think not -

@nixCraft for those also asking "but nixCraft, what are these distros?" Here's a few links

@nazokiyoubinbou @nixCraft this is one reason I'm really happy that OpenRC-based Alpine Linux is seeing wider adoption. It's often used as a base for docker images and VPSs (I also use it on a VPS). Hopefully this leads to wider adoption of OpenRC and other unit systems

@nazokiyoubinbou @nixCraft blegh! this type of dependency on something that should be totally independent is a sign of structural failure, i suppose..
i've been a debian fanby for the longest time but maybe it's time to look into other distros. can anyone recommend me which are the most "mainstream"/well-maintained non-systemd distros?

Exactly this.
Systemd has completely lost sight of its entire purpose. It should be simple, minimal, and just get the job done. It sure shouldn't become... this...
(And I too am a Debian person. I kind of don't really want to switch right now though.)

@bazkie @nazokiyoubinbou @nixCraft Devuan is Debian with an alternative init.
Antix provides multiple init implementations.
FreeBSD is not hard if you are used to Debian.

@nixCraft I'm most worried about debut of AGENTS.md file and what says about judgment of project leaders and maintainers, and who they allow to touch codebase. millions of folks de facto need to trust every frickin commit into systemd since its on the critical path on tons of Linux hosts by now. I saw one individual in particular, working on one key subsystem who I would not trust on a system this critical, esp if that individ is also "using AI" and also gets to blame any malware-enabling commits "on some AI" rather than their own brain/hand. they could be setting us up
I'm a fan of Lennart Poettering in general but I worry he's gotten distracted by spinning up his startup Amutable

@distrowatch @bazkie @nixCraft I didn't know about this Devuan. That's kind of interesting. Perhaps that might help keep some of the compatibility I currently enjoy. I hope. I may have to give it a good look.
Thanks!
EDIT: Devuan has a page listing a number of distros with alternative inits it seems: https://www.devuan.org/os/init-freedom

@bazkie @nazokiyoubinbou @nixCraft I just yesterday switched from debian to void linux but if you want a debian like experience then theres devuan!

@nixCraft Unix philosophy is unnecessary and questionable, just like age verification.

@nixCraft it's not age verification it's just a birth date in the filesystem YOU define, no verification whatsoever. And the value is available on dbus. Up the the app developer to do something with it. Yes systemd has flaws, plural, its design is questionable. But right now it's just an excuse to bash it one more time. And so what, we go back to thousand lignes bash scripts ordered with numbers which can faim at any moment? -

@nixCraft I'm not going back to shell scripts and fucking rc.local. Is there any usable alternative?

@gjerma
I still think politics should be done by groups like eff and fsf. The indicidual projects should just ask for direction from them. If that isnt possible, making some kind of union for foss workers or collectives could work. I still think code specialists and politucs specialists are seldom the same person which is the root of the problem imo.

@nixCraft I really tried to ignore the systemd drama as long as my system worked but I guess I have to look for a guide now on how to replace systemd on arch linux. Does gnome even work without systemd?

@distrowatch @bazkie @nazokiyoubinbou @nixCraft I've had an excellent experience with MX, which recently reinstated their classic dual-init support: https://mxlinux.org/blog/mx-25-dual-init-setup/
Now it's dual-init by default. My favorite Debian-based distro.

@nixCraft Please, just stop using the term "Unix philosophy" as a fetish. There's a ton of great software that does not follow it, and I've seen enough failing init scripts in my life to convince me that endlessly stringing tools together with pipes is not a robust way of writing software.

Mantenere mobile, duttile, l'opinione pubblica permette di attizzarla facilmente, non farla consolidare, batterla col martello della propria violenza, sfruttare tutti i mezzi di controllo e di manipolazione che hanno bisogno di un prodotto malleabile
Se si mantiene caldo un campo, si può mantenerne un altro freddo: invisibile, lontano dall'attenzione, stabile. Il campo del controllo, dei rapporti nascosti
La legittimazione è importante solo nella misura in cui permette di mantenere la posizione

@adrianomorselli sono sempre i migliori, quelli che sé ne vanno 😂

Legittimità è una costruzione di regole, accettate o subite, ma riconosciute come reali
La distruzione di tutto ciò può frammentare ulteriormente i legami sociali in essere, magari per essere ristrutturati a piacimento di altri
Ma chi continua a distruggere può imporsi solo con la forza e la sua esibizione, quindi anche minacce, atti di violenza, guerre
La guerra diventa forza primaria di legittimazione, tenuta sempre attiva per continuare a distruggere e mantenere mobile l'opinione pubblica
-
La legittimità non è un ordine superiore che scende dal cielo sugli uomini, checché ne dicano alcuni
La legittimità è un riconoscimento dato da un insieme di persone, che sia comunità, massa di persone, o massa di individui nella loro bolla collegati da un tessuto artificialmente sociale
La legittimità è costruita, più raramente spontanea, si esprime e regola con atti comunicativi e assunzione di valori
La legittimità è una cessione di forza per sostenere un progetto

Conway’s Game of Life With Physical Buttons
Conway’s Game of Life excels in its simplicity, creating a cellular automaton on a 2D grid where each cell obeys a set of very simple rules that determine whether a cell is ‘alive’ or ‘dead’. After setting an initial condition the ‘game’ then evolves naturally from there, creating an endless series of patterns as a simplified form of bacterial evolution. Of course, setting an initial state and then watching cells light up or fade away seems like a natural fit for light-up buttons. After struggling with intrusive thoughts related to such a project for a while, [Michal Zalewski] finally gave in, creating a pretty amazing looking result.
Although there is no set size for the game board, [Michal] was constrained by his budget for the selected NKK JB15LPF-JF tactile buttons, resulting in a 17×17 matrix. That’s 289 buttons, for those keeping score, which comes down to over $1,000 over at e.g. Digikey even with quantity-based pricing. Add to this the custom PCB and a Microchip AVR128DA64 squeezed in a corner of said PCB to run the whole show and it’s quite the investment.
Finishing up the PCB, driving the lights is done with a duty cycle as the matrix is scanned along with detecting inputs in a similar manner. This required the addition of MOSFETs and transistors, the details of which can be found in the downloadable project files, along with the firmware source code. In the article a video of the board in action can be watched, allowing one to admire the very pretty wooden enclosure as well.

Cos'è la legittimità, e cos'è la legittimità oggi
Oggi ci sono forze votate a distruggere ogni legittimità (ONU, ordine mondiale, lo stesso stato e partito da cui originano)
La distruzione di legittimità è usato come segno di forza, e la forza che hanno è la fonte unica della loro legittimità
La legittimità viene dall'essere gli unici con diritto a parlare, e l'impostazione di questo rapporto di forza e l'esibizione è ciò che li sostiene. L'unica debolezza che negano a ogni costo, l'impotenza

Poliverso.org vive, Metaverso no! Meta ""chiude"" il metaverso e vince l'Oscar per la peggiore strategia di rebranding della storia
L'unico che ci credeva cosi tanto era Zuckerberg che ha pure cambiato nome alla sua società fondata nel 2004; da Facebook a Meta perché secondo lui "il metaverso era il futuro". Dal 2020 bruciati 80 miliardi di dollari.
Lunga vita e prosperità al Fediverso! 🖖
