Thank you for the detailed response, very informative. You make a really good point about centralized logging, I can see how that can be very helpful when you run A LOT of different server process on one machine. I get centralized logging as a bonus of running everything in Docker, but I can see how it is nice to have logging as part of the init system if you want to run a lot of services natively.
Out of curiosity, why exactly do you not have a choice in not running systemd? Is it company policy / are they clients’ machines?
I’m more of a runit guy, but I started using Alpine recently, and I have to say, openrc is also pretty nice!
Fstab is for critical partitions
Hush everyone, don’t tell this guy about noauto
, it’ll burst his bubble
I’ve gotten into quite a lot of systemd-related flame wars so far, and what strikes me is that I haven’t heard a single reason why systemd is good and should be used in favor of openrc/sysvinit/whatever. The only arguments I hear in favor of systemd, even from the its diehard defenders, are justifications why it’s not that bad. Not once have I heard someone advocate for systemd with reasoning that goes likes “Systemd is superior to legacy init systems because you can do X much easier” or “systemd is more secure because it’s resistant against Y attack vector”. It’s always “Linus says it’s allright” or “binary logfiles aren’t a problem, you can just get them from journald instead of reading the file”, or “everyone already uses it”.
When it comes to online discourse, systemd doesn’t have advocates, it has apologists.
Not sure why the downvotes. I generally try to avoid extensions apart from ublock origin, but if I really need something, then I always get it from the developer’s github, not from chrome/firefox store. WAY TOO MANY cases of open-source extensions getting hijacked with malware on the store but not on github. Remember cookies.txt? Or great suspender? Or stylish?
The term “built-in” is a bit fuzzy here. Librewolf just uses ublock origin. It’s only “built-in” in the sense that it’s installed automatically
After the latest bullshit from Microsoft
I like how your comment works regardless of whether you consider “latest” to be the past year or the past decade lol.
Imagine using linux in 2024, TempleOS all the way
He really insists on debian-based, I don’t really know why. And, while Void IS really solid, it isn’t exactly known for the most expansive package collection. Xournal, for example, is not available through XBPS (there is a xournal package, but it just installs xournal++), which is one of the programs he likes a lot. I told him it’s on nix, but he doesn’t want to use nix.
But I agree, Void is amazing, I use it on my laptop. One little-known cool feature of Void is that its official docker images come in busybox/musl libc
, busybox/glibc
, and coreutils/glibc
variants, it gives you a nice scale from most minimalist to most compatible.
Any browsers with good built-in adblocker besides brave? I feel like firefox’s built-in content filtering does the very minimum, but I might be wrong
system-wide AdGuard
This is the way on mobile lol. The android rom I’m using comes with a built-in systemwide blocker, which I didn’t know about for a very long time, so I was very confused when I saw other people using the same apps as me and seeing ads lol.
I like your comment a lot because you can substitute a lot of different things for “snap” and it still ends up sounding like a very reasonable opinion
I feel like I would be more okay with leaded gasoline if it didn’t still have a lot of very real flaws.
I feel like I would be more okay with anarcho-capitalism if it didn’t still have a lot of very real flaws.
I feel like I would be more okay with PFAS-coated cookware if it didn’t still have a lot of very real flaws.
I feel like I would be more okay with single-use plastic bags if it didn’t still have a lot of very real flaws.
I feel like I would be more okay with cryptocurrencies if it didn’t still have a lot of very real flaws.
I feel like I would be more okay with generative AI if it didn’t still have a lot of very real flaws.
I feel like I would be more okay with eating highly processed meat if it didn’t still have a lot of very real flaws.
I don’t know, maybe
You are about to do something potentially harmful.
To continue type in the phrase ‘Yes, do as I say!’
But speaking seriously, I think he tried it for a while and didn’t like it either… not sure why specifically tho, I’ll ask him
It’s not a miniscule gripe tho. Snap is still broken for many users, and relying on it for something as critical as a web browser is asking for trouble. Experimental technologies like snap should be opt-in for users who are willing to deal with the issues they create. Do they really expect a novice to see firefox’s filepicker not behaving correctly, and think “Aha, an XDG desktop portal issue! Let me drop everything I’m doing and go troubleshoot that” ? Ubuntu is meant to be linux for normies, they don’t have the time or the knowledge to deal with snap.
