It takes a more pragmatic approach than devuan, by liberal use of shims rather than forking packages to remove systemd dependencies, and has the option to install systemd as an init, if you're that way inclined. I find it better than debian while easier to maintain, for my purposes at least, than devuan. Other experiences may differ.
The problem is, that paraphrase is deliberately intended to create the belief that fascism is a merger of the state and private business interests, when it's nothing of the sort. This idea directly contradicts Mussolini's own writings and actions, especially his dictum of everything within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state.
The "corporatism" referred to here is nothing to do with commercial corporations (as the link goes on to explain) but is instead more akin to syndicalism, with an interest in reducing people down to corporate groups defined by common interests. Think tribes and clans, or old-style guilds (which, again, the link uses as an example), where people of a certain profession are grouped together into a body (i.e. the "corp" in corporate, from the latin corpus), and it is that syndicated body which participates in government as a collective. So you'd have a steel-workers guild, a farmers guild, a baker's guild and so on, each wielding corporate power and influence, and each participating as a sub-unit of the state.
Mussolini started out as a socialist and only moderated insofar as he abandoned the idea of the direct seizure of the means of production, which he replaced with the belief that commerce should be subservient to corporate groups, which were in turn subservient to the state. He's only called "far right" now because of a certain Austrian painter's bad fanfiction of his and Giovani Gentile's political manifestos. Had the small disagreement of 1939 to 1945 not happened, or had Italy joined the Allies rather than the Axis (which almost happened), Mussolini would probably have been characterised a radical syndicalist instead.
Marcan barged into an issue that had already largely been resolved, or soon would have been, made unreasonable demands while grinding his axe about the lkml not adapting to his workflow, threatened to launch a social shaming campaign against everyone who didn't immediately kowtow to his position, and then flounced off when called out for his awful behaviour.
This is the sort of unstable, irrational person you absolutely do not want working on the kernel. His first reaction isn't discussion or compromise, but blackmail.
The # sign was originally the abbreviation of libre pondo, lb, (which for some reason had the p upside down) and was often written as the ligature ℔, often with an extra flourish across the top. It was later simplified into the # we now know and pound repeatedly while trying to get through automated phone helpline menus.
This idea that it was for the farmers is a myth, possibly spread as a post-hoc justification. Farmers generally start their work so early and end it so late that moving midday an hour one way or the other is neutral at best, and at worst causes then significant disruption. The cows still want milking at the same time of day; they can't read a clock.
The real reason for it was the erroneous belief that it would save electricity.
If you want the code, you abide by the terms of the license. If you don't want to abide by the terms of the license, you can't have the code. This is not a complicated proposition, it's only portrayed as complicated by people who want to ensure that the benefits of copyright protection only ever move in one direction.
Yes. It reminds me of the 80s, when it was all publicly owned. British Rail was always crap and Blackpool beach was always covered in sewage, except for a brief period in the 90s. The key problem in both then and now is a lack of accountability for the people responsible for the mess.
For my HA-and-media stuff use kubernetes*, an ancient nuc, and a small cluster of pis for peripheral thingies, but I can respect the effort that went into your setup. The great thing about solutions is that there are so many of them.
*k4s specifically. I wanted a project to familiarise myself with it for work-related reasons, and the requirements of my home setup were just bizarre enough to touch nearly every part of the docs. I'm probably replacing it with portainer soon. It's simpler. Relatively.
Having the component that manages temporary files expand until it's managing the user's home directory is emblematic of systemd's dysfunctional development culture. Mission creep, feature spread, taking over arbitrary new things at random, and then acting like that's what you're supposed to expect from poorly-named tools. It's only a matter of time before systemd absorbs /etc and any other system config into a "unified binary format" and "common configuration interface". This new systemd-config-register will then presumably expand its role to store user email.
They're both from the same greek root of metron or metreon, but reached us by different paths, so they now serve different purposes in British and Commonwealth English.
A meter is a measuring device, while metre is a unit of measurement, whether that be a unit of length or the frequency of a regularly recurring pattern, such as in poetry or music. You could use a one metre pendulum to time your music, giving you a metre metre meter, or a metre metronome. By extension, this means you can, by regularly tapping one metre long stick on the ground for every one metre pace you take in time to a song, have a metre metre meter metre meter.
The difference is in who does the linking, and why. Libraries linked by the sshd developers are audited by them to ensure they're compliant with requirements. libsystemd was linked by people who wanted to tie sshd into a gigantic, sprawling mess of an "init" for the convenience of notifications.
It's all good and well saying that the attack could have come at any point, but the fact is that this vulnerability was introduced by the long arm of systemd reaching into sshd's internals, where it had absolutely no place being. THAT is the problem. THAT is the thing that people have been warning about.
