Standard updates on RHEL can sometimes break yum / dnf due to updating python.

It is. He is poisoning Linux, slowly, from the inside. Like the XZ attack, just smarter and much slower.

Oh it’s no longer POSIX, he’s seen to that!

They can’t help themselves. They gorge themselves on his phallic offerings.

gross!

PseudoSpock, 8 days ago

I’d take that over systemd.

PseudoSpock, 8 days ago

As Microsoft and Poettering intended.

Oh you had me going in the first half. Sly devil you. Wayland still doesn’t work on the fleet of equipment we have.

PseudoSpock, 8 days ago

Wayland is set of protocols.

Oh my god! It’s like hearing the same on hold greeting again and again. WE KNOW!

More like over baked but still only half done.

It is ridiculous. Nothing like says f you to a large percentage of your user base like pushing out a solution that doesn’t work for them.

By itself, solely doing init, it would have been fine, however, binary logging (even if you eventually end up with a text log, that’s wasting disk space on a binary format no one wants or needs), and it didn’t stop there. He keeps replacing Linux subsystem after subsystem, and many of those replacements are not progress, just duplication of effort and creates more ways for configuration drift.

PseudoSpock, 3 days ago

Yes, and many distros have that out of the box… But they don’t have it sent to keep the binary journal as close to empty as possible. So you end up with twice the space in use for logs. As for the issue with binary logs, text logs can be read by far more tools and utilities, rather than just journalctl and pipes.

PseudoSpock, 3 days ago

Having the logs twice is saving space, got it. Do you hear yourself?

PseudoSpock, 2 days ago

The issue is logs are suppose to be text. Seriously, wtf. You some Poettering fan boy or something?

PseudoSpock, 12 hours ago

Text is compatible with all the grep, awk, sed, text editors, what have you. As for the argument of it binary saving space, not on modern filesystems with compression, like zfs, btrfs, and bcachefs. The entire resistance against tampering is bogus, any systems where that is a concern already live scrape logs to an off server indexing service. If you are concerned about poorly formatted logs, that is an application configuration issue. Address it directly with the application. There are no benefits to a binary log, especially when journalctl is absolutely no faster at jumping to the end of the long log than standard less is. Poettering has you chasing phantoms. He always does. He’s like the politician who justifies horrible bills by saying it’s to protect the children.

That’s so fetch!

Why do you feel the need to tell us?

PseudoSpock, 9 days ago

That’s a windows issue. Go ask windows people.

PseudoSpock, 9 days ago

We aren’t a support forum, especially not a Windows support forum. So yeah, it was suppose to unhelpful, and it was quite necessary.

PseudoSpock, 9 days ago

No, we should be discouraging such posts to begin with. So how about I just report the post in the hopes of getting it taken down then? Would that be better? Because it certainly doesn’t belong here… and neither do apologists that let happen.

Post reported for breaking rule: “Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel.” Happy now?

I’m speaking solely about their workstation/laptop. If I am issued a Linux desktop system for work, and I can’t have root on it, heck no. I need to be able to remove Teams and replace it with the web app. I need to be able to install docker and vm’s. Add utilities I often use, replace gnome with a useable desktop environment, add zsh, install nerd fonts, choose the nvidia or intel gpu, modify grub, setup FDE and switch to snapshotting file system, etc etc.
