Re: Lennart Poettering (Systemd) Lands at Microsoft After Leaving Red Hat

But....if Linux gets too much more commercialized, I'll be going to the BSDs for my computers.

I like the best of both worlds.  At the moment I'm dual booting Slackware64-15.0 with OpenBSD 7.3 on my secondary PC.  OpenBSD plays nice with LILO.  My main PC is running Devuan 4.0.  I also like playing with FreeBSD and Void in VMs.
I generally like operating systems not polluted with systemd.  My choice to avoid systemd is not ideologically based, I take a pragmatic approach with OSs.  For me systemd hangs occasionally and it behaves in unexpected ways.  That  init system is unreliable.
I prefer sysvinit and runit.

If it wasn't for this Wifi dongle that only recently got supported in the Linux kernel (its one of those nasty Realtek ones) I would still be using FreeBSD now. (Not throwing any shade on Devuan )

Which one is that?

Is it usable only with free software?

rtl8188fu. I wish but it needs firmware to function. Its supported by Linux 6.2 if CONFIG_RTL8XXXU_UNTESTED=y. Rather than using dkms I have built a 6.2+ kernel with support for it and placed the firmware in /lib/firmware/rtlwifi.

So it requires proprietary firmware then eh...

Damn...

Hello. How about this?

In short, he planned to add a new method of rebooting: userspace only under the name "soft-reboot".

Why does Mastodon require JS to view a piece of text? Thought it was supposed to be better than Twitter. :/

Anyhow, Seems appending /embed allows a non-JS version: //mastodon.social/@pid_eins/110272799283345055/embed

Here's a fun new feature we are working on in systemd: userspace-only reboot. In order to reduce grey-out times on image-based OS updates to next to nothing we are making a reboot happen where kernel stays as it is, but userspace shuts down as usual, then possibly transitions into a new rootfs, and starts up again with an initial transaction as it would on a classic system boot. During the transition selected services can pass along their fds and listening sockets, to pass "live" resources

Really? What is a peace of crap?

I know what a piece of crap means, but peace of crap? Not sure.
