Classic, must be a HP printer.

You are correct, although zram uses more cpu power since it compresses things. It’s not really an issue if you’re not using a potato :=)

Van Gogh vibes! Thought this too lol.

That’s a very Tankie opinion…

Valyrian steel is implied to have someone sacrificed and have their blood/soul bound into the sword, hence blood magic presumably keeps it sharp.

Paywall!

Fair play, as you say it is a “love it or hate it” affair. I personally really like the simplicity and stability of old school UNIX.

OpenBSD comes to mind as the closest thing in contemporary times and I would use it as a daily driver but I need Linux for a few bits.

Void to me seems like the Linux equivalent. Minimal, stable, no bullshit. Alpine also fits this criteria but is a bit more sparse in some packages that I use. Both great distros.

Systemd is 1.5+ million lines of code! However convenient, it felt forced by Redhat into the Linux world and many of us who do not like it feel bent over backwards to be fucked in the arse by Poettering et al.

As solely an init system, may I suggest a superior alternative, s6?

(I am in hospital on morphine so I may not be making sense).

If binary logs get corrupted they’re kaput; text logs are not (as far as I know?). Also you cannot grep binary logs? I wouldn’t know.

No, I just have used Linux/BSDs for ~15 years in a non-professional setting.

Aaaw what a shame :/

Cheers

Curious, what’s wrong with John Carmack? Thanks

Runit is brilliantly simple, and as the old granite maul examine text says, “simplicity is the best weapon”.

I’m sorry, you won’t be able to convince me to use it, it doesn’t feel KISS (I left Arch when they swapped). Fuck binary logs too. The only place I use it is on my phone which is SailfishOS.

Void to me is what Arch used to be – I tend to use minimal replacements where I can, e.g. Openntpd as ntp, socklog as logger, seatd as logind, zfsbootmenu instead of systemd-boot, no polkit et cetera.

it’s the closest usable distro for me to cut most of the poetteringware out apart from messing around with Gentoo (which I can’t be arsed with any more). I am not a fan.

Like or dislike systemd, be it convenient or not, you can’t deny it’s a behemoth.

Not to mention runit is a few thousand lines of code, systemd is 1.5 million plus. From a theoretical standpoint it’s an extra massive attack surface.

Yeah, LTSC is basically how Windows should be, with less bloatware and security updates only.

Nestle and evil, name a better dastardly duo.

Powerful magicks, to be sure.

Yep and it’s FOSS :-)

Currently using a nice nord theme with it!

Remind me - I have a nice ZFS Encrypted Void install guide. In hospital at the moment, I’ll try dig it up.

Value is subjective, kopi luak (yuk!).

Infinity for lemmy clocking in!

It’s sad really as the idea that you could read a book for free in the 1900s was basically the OG ‘fuck copyright’.

Books are weapons in the war of ideas…
