Digitproactive paying for prevention of bugs less incentive than the duress of existing bugs pressing for fixing, mhmm, your cynicism DaemonFC[m] makes sense, like a for-profit-healthcare flaw of "a patient cured is a customer lost".  I had been wondering earlier about subscription models for free software, which in general only slightly dent this hard social problem.Jul 16 00:59

DaemonFC[m]Very few people ever used GNOME's window manager when there was a choice.Jul 16 03:09
DaemonFC[m]Few distributions even made theirs the default.Jul 16 03:09
DaemonFC[m]It was pretty much Compiz for most of the GNOME 2 series.Jul 16 03:09
DaemonFC[m]GNOME 2 wasn't that bad, but 3 decided to impose this tablet garbage on PC users and just isn't ver well designed, so it brings even fast computers down when it shouldn't.Jul 16 03:10
DaemonFC[m]It also has a lot of bugs lately. Jul 16 03:10

MinceRthey're not required on the platforms i useJul 16 14:09

smnthermesSadly Rust has poor POSIX interoperabilityJul 16 14:33
smnthermesIt could be that software written in Rust could not be compiled without systemdJul 16 14:35
smnthermesIn the futureJul 16 14:35
oiaohmsmnthermes: History on some x86 you had to use the intel complier to built the memory management sections so it is very much the same things.Jul 16 14:37
oiaohmHistory played out that gcc improved in those areas and then the icc came unrequired.Jul 16 14:37
XRevan86smnthermes: You can compile a Rust programme without glibc, but systemd? Yea, very likely.Jul 16 14:37
oiaohmRust required by the Linux kernel could play out a few different ways.Jul 16 14:38
oiaohm`Historic icc way would would expect to see gcc pick up rust support.Jul 16 14:39
kingoffranceam i wrong to predict that at some point systemd and posix will do battle in a cage match?    i mean, they may never overlap, but are they inherently bound to battle at some point?Jul 16 14:39
kingoffrance"inherently" i mean re: peoples mindsetsJul 16 14:40
oiaohmposix is fairly much a dead end long term.Jul 16 14:41
kingoffranceput another way: could systemd be developed in a posix-compliant way, or will it be bound to conflict at some point?Jul 16 14:41
kingoffrancedue to ppl developing itJul 16 14:41
kingoffrancewell yeah, gnu compiler collectionJul 16 14:42
kingoffrancere: gcc picking up rust supportJul 16 14:42
kingoffrancethat is possibleJul 16 14:42
oiaohmReality is systemd could not be developed and work right using posix defined apis.Jul 16 14:43
oiaohmNo service management system can in fact.Jul 16 14:43
kingoffrancedont disagreeJul 16 14:43
oiaohmPosix includes the idea  of using PID numbers with no protection.Jul 16 14:43
MinceRoiaohm: builds fine with gcc instead of iccJul 16 14:44
oiaohmagainst PID reuse.Jul 16 14:44
oiaohmMinceR: that today but not historic.Jul 16 14:44
MinceRprocess management with PIDs and no protection still works better than cancerdJul 16 14:45
kingoffrancei just followed the thread "sadly rust has poor posix" "it could be sw written in rust could not be compiled without systemd in the future"  -> what about systemd?     point being, i dont have a horse in this raceJul 16 14:45
MinceRalso, afaik the non-forking sort of process management works better and still doesn't require anything outside POSIX.Jul 16 14:45
kingoffranceso im just askingJul 16 14:46
oiaohmpidfd in the Linux kernel has no equal in posix standard apis.      Concept of a trackable process to services that started. tree that cgroup make or zones make or any of the other in that class is outside POSIX.Jul 16 14:46
MinceR(the one where the service manager keeps managed services as its child processes and receives information on them as such)Jul 16 14:46
oiaohmMinceR: non forking processs management is still poorly handled if you stick to posix only apis.Jul 16 14:46
MinceRi'll take "poorly handled" over "total clusterfuck" any dayJul 16 14:47
oiaohmBasically where is your resource management MinceR look though the posix standards all that is really missing.Jul 16 14:47
oiaohmLike the 2017 release of the posix standard was really the 2008 posix standard with the 2 2008 add ons  and that was it.Jul 16 14:47
MinceRand by "total clusterfuck" i don't just mean "oh hey, the NFS server seems to be gone, so let's just wait forever", i also mean the fedora live media failing to boot at allJul 16 14:48
MinceRcancerd is really truly unreliable when out of ubuntu, fedora and debian, only debian even manages to reach the end of the installation processJul 16 14:48
oiaohmFedora live media failing to boot at all happened when they where using sysvinit as well.Jul 16 14:48
MinceRmaybe hedrat should look into doing something they have the faculties for, thenJul 16 14:49

oiaohmMinceR: Ubuntu using upstart and sysvinit managed to release broken lives and install discs as well.Jul 16 14:50
oiaohmThere has been a QA issue with a lot of distributions predating systemd.Jul 16 14:50
MinceRinteresting how major non-cancerd distros don't have these issuesJul 16 14:51
*mmu_man has quit (Ping timeout: 258 seconds)Jul 16 14:51
MinceRi guess it's just that they're made by people who are not perfectly clueless (hence the lack of cancerd)Jul 16 14:51
oiaohmIts interesting that they had them before they go systemd.Jul 16 14:51
oiaohmgo/gotJul 16 14:51
MinceRwell, of courseJul 16 14:51
MinceRthey were clueless before they decided to adopt cancerdJul 16 14:51
oiaohmdebian has always had quite heavy QA system.Jul 16 14:51
MinceRthey adopted cancerd because they were clueless in the first placeJul 16 14:51
MinceRdebian seems to still avoid some parts of cancerdJul 16 14:52

oiaohmLot of the distributions that did not migrate to systemd also had decent QA teams of their own.Jul 16 14:52
MinceRor maybe the devuan people fix some of the most critical bugs in debian :>Jul 16 14:53

oiaohmA decent QA system you should be able to produce something that at least work near right no matter how bad the stuff you are starting from is.Jul 16 14:55
MinceRnot necessarilyJul 16 14:55
MinceRit could just produce nothingJul 16 14:55
MinceRbecause every attempt failed QAJul 16 14:55
MinceRQA can't guarantee that something good is produced, only that stuff that isn't good enough to be released, won't beJul 16 14:56
oiaohmDoing nothing is better than doing absolutely wrong.Jul 16 14:56
MinceRindeedJul 16 14:56
oiaohmSo nothing is still nearer to right than not having QAJul 16 14:56
MinceRi wish microsloth, crApple and dehomag listened to youJul 16 14:57
oiaohmdebian change to systemd was delayed by over 12 months due to QA failures.Jul 16 14:59
MinceRand apparently they "fixed" it by doing less QAJul 16 15:00
oiaohmNo they did not.Jul 16 15:00
oiaohmIn fact after systemd they increased their QA processes.Jul 16 15:01
oiaohmStill some goofs got though.Jul 16 15:01
MinceRyeah, like the one they call "systemd"Jul 16 15:02
MinceRalso, increasing the processes won't help when one ignores the outputJul 16 15:02

MinceRand elogind naturally inherited some of the idiocyJul 16 15:03
oiaohmconsolekit2 is not exactly great either.Jul 16 15:03
oiaohmRemember consolekit2 has a logind replacement as well.Jul 16 15:03

oiaohmThe old consolekit had gone un maintained for security faults.Jul 16 15:04

oiaohmUsing cgroups around services,  using pidfd to make sure you kill the right processes.   Having proper tracking for what processes users and services have started is a big thing.Jul 16 15:08
MinceRusing cgroups would be a good idea if cgroups were mature, but they aren'tJul 16 15:08
MinceRi wonder if pidfd even exists at this pointJul 16 15:08
MinceRand what systemd does is not "proper tracking"Jul 16 15:08
MinceRbeing unable to tell what processes you send SIGTERM to and deciding to just not bother and SIGKILL right away is certainly not properJul 16 15:08
MinceRand it has led to things like shells losing their historyJul 16 15:09
oiaohmpidfd is in your 5.3 and newer Linux kernels.Jul 16 15:09
MinceRgoodJul 16 15:09
MinceRdoes it work, unlike cgroups?Jul 16 15:09
MinceRand if so, can it be used for something without cgroups?Jul 16 15:09

oiaohmIts simple you open a filehandle  on a pid and if the pid closes on you the filehandle gets that information so never sends a message to something that replaces the pid you opened the filehandle on.Jul 16 15:10
MinceRinstead of this whole "yeah, cgroups doesn't work, we know it doesn't work and we've given up on fixing it, but we're going to write a god daemon that does everything with cgroups and use entryism to take down distributions from the inside and force it on users who didn't as for it anyway!" thingJul 16 15:11
MinceRs/as f/ask f/Jul 16 15:11
oiaohmThat way you can open a fd on pid check that its the right process send a signel and be absloutely sure you sent it to the right place.Jul 16 15:11
oiaohmOr no where.Jul 16 15:11
MinceRthat filehandle sounds suspiciously like tracking subprocesses the POSIX wayJul 16 15:11
MinceRonly then you get a signal instead of an event on an fdJul 16 15:12
oiaohmsignel under the POSIX way allow the PID to be replaced and get false message.Jul 16 15:12
oiaohmpidfd is really a fix to a issue in the POSIX standard.Jul 16 15:13
oiaohmhttps://lwn.net/Articles/794707/ << basically pidfd is to use a filehandle where you would have used a PID number under posix.Jul 16 15:14
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-Completing the pidfd API [LWN.net]Jul 16 15:14
MinceRhow do you replace the PID while the original process wasn't waited on and as such is still around as a zombie?Jul 16 15:14
oiaohmThere is a really horrible way that can happen.Jul 16 15:15
oiaohmYes thank you cgroups for it.Jul 16 15:15
oiaohmTo be correct namespaces.Jul 16 15:15
MinceRwell, if you stick to POSIX, you don't have namespacesJul 16 15:15
MinceRor if you implement POSIX properlyJul 16 15:16
MinceRi doubt it allows for your process just disappearing without the parent finding out about itJul 16 15:16
MinceRor getting its exit statusJul 16 15:16
oiaohmhttps://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/pid_namespaces.7.html   process changing between PID namespaces will do it.  And posix standard write for how chroot is allowed to work allows this as well.Jul 16 15:17
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-man7.org | pid_namespaces(7) - Linux manual pageJul 16 15:17
MinceRcan the process change between PID namespaces without its own knowledge?Jul 16 15:17
oiaohmYes and by posix define of chroot a process can be moved into a chroot without its knowledge as well.Jul 16 15:17
MinceRi don't see what chroot has to do with PID namespacesJul 16 15:18
oiaohmposix define say a chroot may fake the PID table.Jul 16 15:18
MinceRsounds like someone screwing around with a process from the outside and expecting nothing to breakJul 16 15:18
oiaohmbut does not have ot.Jul 16 15:18
oiaohmThank you open defined posix for you.Jul 16 15:18
oiaohmThink about it sun, IBM... with their Unixs wanted to make sure they could use their zones and so on for chroot without breaking posix standard of course so argued for some stupid allowances.Jul 16 15:20
oiaohmand then did not push for something like pidfd to be included in the posix standard to cover over the huge whole they dug.Jul 16 15:20
MinceRso if you don't do this to your process manager, it will still work fineJul 16 15:24
MinceRand you don't even have to rely on any of this namespace/zone messJul 16 15:25

oiaohmIt was only posix 2001 where they defined some rules about child process.    https://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/linux/lk/lk-5.html#ss5.5  Yes  this by the Linux kernel is to the 2001 rules.   But how to handle  Parrent->child->child started by child is not define by posix.Jul 16 15:32

DaemonFC[m]The size of C:\Windows with no NTFS folder compression is simply scandalous, even by the standards of modern bloatware. It really is something to behold. The lack of compression in ReFS was probably one reason why they won't let "consumers" use it. The jig would be up when they wanted to know what was pigging out on their free space.Jul 16 19:25
psydroidfortunately we have Raspberry Pis, Pinebooks and old laptops to reduce the influence of their crimesJul 16 19:27
DaemonFC[m]It really does amuse me that in ten years, the footprint of an installed GNU/Linux distribution with KDE that the user has not built upon at all yet went from maybe 5 to 6 GB (without btrfs compress....about 3.5 with) and, uhhh, Windows 7 to 10 has gone from about 20 to about 100 without compress and roughly 65 GB with compress.Jul 16 19:27

DaemonFC[m]Nathan Lineback on ToastyTech was using Windows 95 B forever.Jul 16 20:12
DaemonFC[m]There was actually a point in using Windows 98 like I had it set up. Just stripped down of all the garbage like IE and the Windows 95 B shell put in. Windows 95 actually couldn't read anything out of the disk cache as "active memory".Jul 16 20:13
DaemonFC[m]So, anything you tried using for disk cache came right out of the memory that could be running a program.Jul 16 20:13
DaemonFC[m]I can't imagine a technical reason why they would not have taken a bit of time to improve the memory manager of Windows 95 in this way, seeing as how computers with 95 tended to have less RAM than ones that came with 98.Jul 16 20:14

DaemonFC[m]Several people brought up that Red Hat was totally silent about this feature and that they had dropped the module itself from RHEL.Jul 16 20:30
DaemonFC[m]I read this situation as possibly "IBM has lost interest in Fedora so they can do whatever the hell they want. Soon there won't be any official Red Hat sponsorship at all.".Jul 16 20:31
DaemonFC[m]Then they entire project might collapse or have to find new sponsors.Jul 16 20:31

DaemonFC[m]Something big and nasty is coming from IBM, says my spidey sense, we just don't know what that is yet.Jul 16 20:35

sebsebsebwhats this about fedora i am not following Jul 16 20:37
DaemonFC[m]My next computer, whenever that is, is going to be all AMD.Jul 16 20:38
psydroidI haven't used Fedora on real hardware for more than a decade (to be exact no version of Fedora after Fedora Core 1), but the past few years I have installed it in QEMU to see what has changedJul 16 20:38
DaemonFC[m]It seems there's some anti-AMD hostility going on in the Fedora circles, but who cares what they think? The distribution has been slowly taken over by Windows and Mac users with Microsoft Edge.Jul 16 20:38
DaemonFC[m]Their stupid fucking CoC.Jul 16 20:39
DaemonFC[m]IBM letting it bitrot while they have food fights that skirt the CoC if only barely.Jul 16 20:39
DaemonFC[m]Yeah, run. Run like hell.Jul 16 20:43
DaemonFC[m]There were two Linux distributions in the past that struck me as exceptionally bad (around 2007/2008). Sabayon and OpenSUSE.Jul 16 20:44
DaemonFC[m]Call me crazy, but I think that the organizational layout of your recommended third party software sources should be unable to conflict with each other to break the package manager irreparably. Jul 16 20:45
DaemonFC[m]So that was OpenSUSE.Jul 16 20:45
DaemonFC[m]Dad told me he used it and I was like "HOW!?".Jul 16 20:45
DaemonFC[m]Then I tried Sabayon because it seemed interesting "binary packages and Gentoo based", but they had package manager that was so slow you could go on vacation before it got done installing something, and more often, freezing up and corrupting its own database.Jul 16 20:46
DaemonFC[m]Then I tried Debian 6 at some point and the Desktop Role was pretty difficult to actually set up.Jul 16 20:47
DaemonFC[m]Nobody has done sound mixing right on Linux, but without Pulseaudio it's a race to the sound card and the loser crashes.Jul 16 20:47
DaemonFC[m]So that's not better.Jul 16 20:47
DaemonFC[m]Sound mixing really should be done in the kernel.Jul 16 20:48
DaemonFC[m]There's some things that shouldn't ever go into the kernel and especially not like they are now.Jul 16 20:48
DaemonFC[m]DBus is one of those things where they wanted to just shove it in the kernel because it's slow, and then Linus said no, so they went to work actually rebuilding the damned thing, and it turns out you could do a much better job in userspace and the kernel thing was basically "Let's just pack this total piece of junk in there.".Jul 16 20:49
DaemonFC[m]If it's something that is going to have to make a ton of context switches and that's fundamentally the only reason it's too slow, you might want to look and see if having it in the kernel is the right way to go.Jul 16 20:50
DaemonFC[m]From what I understand, DBus doesn't make a ton of context switches, it's just a fucking pile of crap.Jul 16 20:51
DaemonFC[m]If it's something that can mostly stay out in userspace, shoving it into the kernel is not going to be a huge performance win just because you did it.Jul 16 20:52
DaemonFC[m]I'm surprised that these "kernel developers" even need to get to the part where Linus NEEDS to scream at them.Jul 16 20:52
DaemonFC[m]Without losing their commit access entirely.Jul 16 20:52
MinceRunfortunately, Linus will no longer scream at themJul 16 20:53
DaemonFC[m]Microsoft started doing the opposite. Dumping things that should be in the kernel to userspqce to make nasty DRM work more effectively.Jul 16 20:55
DaemonFC[m]"If the user attempts to copy the output, Windows can intentionally crash the video driver and then bring it back up."Jul 16 20:56
DaemonFC[m]I was like, "Did I just read that right? We have Windows intentionally crashing the driver now. Wonderful.".Jul 16 20:56
DaemonFC[m]It turns out that they have this concept of tilt bits when the Protected Video Path is active.Jul 16 20:57
MinceRdon't worry, you won't noticeJul 16 20:58
MinceRbecause it will crash anywayJul 16 20:58
DaemonFC[m]If too many things are going on that Windows suspects you're copying it, boom.Jul 16 20:58
psydroiddo we want to have Linus screaming again? is that even a possibility anymore this far into development of the Linux kernel?Jul 16 20:58
MinceRyes we doJul 16 20:59
MinceRhe's probably the only sane person they might listen toJul 16 20:59

DaemonFC[m]It looks the same anyway.Jul 16 21:20
dabblerdudeYeah, I went on to the website for it and all they offer for Linux is a portable install via tarball file. Is there another way I could fully integrate it into my system through a PPA, .deb file, or something like that?Jul 16 21:20
dabblerdudeNever mind, that's a tech question. My mistake.Jul 16 21:21
