| DaemonFC[m] | Very few people ever used GNOME's window manager when there was a choice. | 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 |

| MinceR | i can't wait for my kernel to require a proprietary compiler to build | Jul 16 14:07 |

| MinceR | they're not required on the platforms i use | Jul 16 14:09 |
| oiaohm | Intel complier was at one point required for particular x86 processes. | Jul 16 14:11 |

| XRevan86 | ouch %) | Jul 16 14:11 |

| oiaohm | XRevan86: some of the historic usages of icc with the Linux kernel have been the same thing. | Jul 16 14:17 |

| oiaohm | And we hope it goes the way of the dodo again. | Jul 16 14:18 |

| smnthermes | Sadly Rust has poor POSIX interoperability | Jul 16 14:33 |
| smnthermes | It could be that software written in Rust could not be compiled without systemd | Jul 16 14:35 |
| smnthermes | In the future | Jul 16 14:35 |
| oiaohm | smnthermes: 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 |
| oiaohm | History played out that gcc improved in those areas and then the icc came unrequired. | Jul 16 14:37 |
| XRevan86 | smnthermes: You can compile a Rust programme without glibc, but systemd? Yea, very likely. | Jul 16 14:37 |
| oiaohm | Rust 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 |
| kingoffrance | am 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 mindsets | Jul 16 14:40 |
| oiaohm | posix is fairly much a dead end long term. | Jul 16 14:41 |
| kingoffrance | put 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 |
| kingoffrance | due to ppl developing it | Jul 16 14:41 |
| kingoffrance | well yeah, gnu compiler collection | Jul 16 14:42 |
| kingoffrance | re: gcc picking up rust support | Jul 16 14:42 |
| kingoffrance | that is possible | Jul 16 14:42 |
| oiaohm | Reality is systemd could not be developed and work right using posix defined apis. | Jul 16 14:43 |
| oiaohm | No service management system can in fact. | Jul 16 14:43 |
| kingoffrance | dont disagree | Jul 16 14:43 |
| oiaohm | Posix includes the idea of using PID numbers with no protection. | Jul 16 14:43 |
| MinceR | oiaohm: builds fine with gcc instead of icc | Jul 16 14:44 |
| oiaohm | against PID reuse. | Jul 16 14:44 |
| oiaohm | MinceR: that today but not historic. | Jul 16 14:44 |
| MinceR | process management with PIDs and no protection still works better than cancerd | Jul 16 14:45 |
| kingoffrance | i 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 race | Jul 16 14:45 |
| MinceR | also, afaik the non-forking sort of process management works better and still doesn't require anything outside POSIX. | Jul 16 14:45 |
| kingoffrance | so im just asking | Jul 16 14:46 |
| oiaohm | pidfd 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 |
| oiaohm | MinceR: non forking processs management is still poorly handled if you stick to posix only apis. | Jul 16 14:46 |
| MinceR | i'll take "poorly handled" over "total clusterfuck" any day | Jul 16 14:47 |
| oiaohm | Basically where is your resource management MinceR look though the posix standards all that is really missing. | Jul 16 14:47 |
| oiaohm | Like 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 |
| MinceR | and 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 all | Jul 16 14:48 |
| MinceR | cancerd is really truly unreliable when out of ubuntu, fedora and debian, only debian even manages to reach the end of the installation process | Jul 16 14:48 |
| oiaohm | Fedora live media failing to boot at all happened when they where using sysvinit as well. | Jul 16 14:48 |
| MinceR | maybe hedrat should look into doing something they have the faculties for, then | Jul 16 14:49 |

| oiaohm | There has been a QA issue with a lot of distributions predating systemd. | Jul 16 14:50 |

| *mmu_man has quit (Ping timeout: 258 seconds) | Jul 16 14:51 | |
| MinceR | i guess it's just that they're made by people who are not perfectly clueless (hence the lack of cancerd) | Jul 16 14:51 |
| oiaohm | Its interesting that they had them before they go systemd. | Jul 16 14:51 |
| oiaohm | go/got | Jul 16 14:51 |
| MinceR | well, of course | Jul 16 14:51 |
| MinceR | they were clueless before they decided to adopt cancerd | Jul 16 14:51 |
| oiaohm | debian has always had quite heavy QA system. | Jul 16 14:51 |
| MinceR | they adopted cancerd because they were clueless in the first place | Jul 16 14:51 |
| MinceR | debian seems to still avoid some parts of cancerd | Jul 16 14:52 |

| oiaohm | A 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 |
| MinceR | not necessarily | Jul 16 14:55 |
| MinceR | it could just produce nothing | Jul 16 14:55 |
| MinceR | because every attempt failed QA | Jul 16 14:55 |
| MinceR | QA can't guarantee that something good is produced, only that stuff that isn't good enough to be released, won't be | Jul 16 14:56 |
| oiaohm | Doing nothing is better than doing absolutely wrong. | Jul 16 14:56 |
| MinceR | indeed | Jul 16 14:56 |
| oiaohm | So nothing is still nearer to right than not having QA | Jul 16 14:56 |
| MinceR | i wish microsloth, crApple and dehomag listened to you | Jul 16 14:57 |
| oiaohm | debian change to systemd was delayed by over 12 months due to QA failures. | Jul 16 14:59 |
| MinceR | and apparently they "fixed" it by doing less QA | Jul 16 15:00 |
| oiaohm | No they did not. | Jul 16 15:00 |
| oiaohm | In fact after systemd they increased their QA processes. | Jul 16 15:01 |
| oiaohm | Still some goofs got though. | Jul 16 15:01 |
| MinceR | yeah, like the one they call "systemd" | Jul 16 15:02 |
| MinceR | also, increasing the processes won't help when one ignores the output | Jul 16 15:02 |
| oiaohm | consolekit2 vs systemd that a horrible one. | Jul 16 15:03 |
| MinceR | or designs them not to recognize certain issues | Jul 16 15:03 |

| MinceR | consolekit was already horrible | Jul 16 15:03 |
| MinceR | then they showed that it can be done even worse with systemd-logind | Jul 16 15:03 |
| MinceR | and elogind naturally inherited some of the idiocy | Jul 16 15:03 |
| oiaohm | consolekit2 is not exactly great either. | Jul 16 15:03 |
| oiaohm | Remember consolekit2 has a logind replacement as well. | Jul 16 15:03 |
| MinceR | as if i wanted one | Jul 16 15:03 |

| oiaohm | Rock and hard place. | Jul 16 15:04 |
| MinceR | i guess the fault was that they still had some security, despite their best efforts | Jul 16 15:04 |
| oiaohm | Consolekit was no where near well designed. | Jul 16 15:05 |

| oiaohm | Using 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 |
| MinceR | using cgroups would be a good idea if cgroups were mature, but they aren't | Jul 16 15:08 |
| MinceR | i wonder if pidfd even exists at this point | Jul 16 15:08 |
| MinceR | and what systemd does is not "proper tracking" | Jul 16 15:08 |
| MinceR | being unable to tell what processes you send SIGTERM to and deciding to just not bother and SIGKILL right away is certainly not proper | Jul 16 15:08 |
| MinceR | and it has led to things like shells losing their history | Jul 16 15:09 |
| oiaohm | pidfd is in your 5.3 and newer Linux kernels. | Jul 16 15:09 |
| MinceR | good | Jul 16 15:09 |
| MinceR | does it work, unlike cgroups? | Jul 16 15:09 |
| MinceR | and if so, can it be used for something without cgroups? | Jul 16 15:09 |

| oiaohm | Its 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 |
| MinceR | instead 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!" thing | Jul 16 15:11 |
| MinceR | s/as f/ask f/ | Jul 16 15:11 |
| oiaohm | That 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 |
| oiaohm | Or no where. | Jul 16 15:11 |
| MinceR | that filehandle sounds suspiciously like tracking subprocesses the POSIX way | Jul 16 15:11 |
| MinceR | only then you get a signal instead of an event on an fd | Jul 16 15:12 |
| oiaohm | signel under the POSIX way allow the PID to be replaced and get false message. | Jul 16 15:12 |
| oiaohm | pidfd is really a fix to a issue in the POSIX standard. | Jul 16 15:13 |
| oiaohm | https://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 | |
| MinceR | how 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 |
| oiaohm | There is a really horrible way that can happen. | Jul 16 15:15 |
| oiaohm | Yes thank you cgroups for it. | Jul 16 15:15 |
| oiaohm | To be correct namespaces. | Jul 16 15:15 |
| MinceR | well, if you stick to POSIX, you don't have namespaces | Jul 16 15:15 |
| MinceR | or if you implement POSIX properly | Jul 16 15:16 |
| MinceR | i doubt it allows for your process just disappearing without the parent finding out about it | Jul 16 15:16 |
| MinceR | or getting its exit status | Jul 16 15:16 |
| oiaohm | https://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 page | Jul 16 15:17 | |
| MinceR | can the process change between PID namespaces without its own knowledge? | Jul 16 15:17 |
| oiaohm | Yes and by posix define of chroot a process can be moved into a chroot without its knowledge as well. | Jul 16 15:17 |
| MinceR | i don't see what chroot has to do with PID namespaces | Jul 16 15:18 |
| oiaohm | posix define say a chroot may fake the PID table. | Jul 16 15:18 |
| MinceR | sounds like someone screwing around with a process from the outside and expecting nothing to break | Jul 16 15:18 |
| oiaohm | but does not have ot. | Jul 16 15:18 |
| oiaohm | Thank you open defined posix for you. | Jul 16 15:18 |
| oiaohm | Think 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 |
| oiaohm | and 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 |
| MinceR | so if you don't do this to your process manager, it will still work fine | Jul 16 15:24 |
| MinceR | and you don't even have to rely on any of this namespace/zone mess | Jul 16 15:25 |
| MinceR | if you need to manage processes in a different namespace/zone, you can run another instance of the service manager | Jul 16 15:25 |

| oiaohm | It 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] | This notion of a "living web" that needs poorly tested browser updates every six weeks is just horrible. | Jul 16 18:49 |
| schestowitz | today they need to top 72k to maintain week-to-week growth weekday-to-weekday | Jul 16 18:50 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Mozilla ends up bricking so many things that within a week there's sometimes two more point updates already. | Jul 16 18:50 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: Mom was like "Well, if they don't reopen the schools, how are kids supposed to learn anything?". | Jul 16 18:51 |
| schestowitz | they might turn out like.... madame Harmone | Jul 16 18:51 |

| schestowitz | I hope we aren't 'goners' like Trumpland | Jul 16 18:52 |

| schestowitz | you deal with a nutcase | Jul 16 18:52 |
| schestowitz | he now manipulates CDC | Jul 16 18:53 |

| schestowitz | trucks with freezers run out of space | Jul 16 18:53 |
| schestowitz | morgues | Jul 16 18:53 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Well, Florida is not counting deaths like the CDC says to. | Jul 16 18:53 |
| schestowitz | and we don't know the REAL numbers | Jul 16 18:53 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They're covering up what's really happening. | Jul 16 18:53 |
| schestowitz | I already DISTRUST all these official numbers | Jul 16 18:53 |
| DaemonFC[m] | New York switched to CDC reporting and added like 10,000-ish under those guidelines. | Jul 16 18:53 |
| schestowitz | red states esp. | Jul 16 18:53 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So you know Florida has thousands more than they'll admit to, at least. | Jul 16 18:54 |
| schestowitz | didn't they fire in FL for reprting? | Jul 16 18:54 |
| schestowitz | months ago iirc | Jul 16 18:54 |
| schestowitz | maybe april | Jul 16 18:54 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Yep. | Jul 16 18:54 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So if they admit it's bad, it means it's way worse. | Jul 16 18:54 |
| schestowitz | +156 deaths | Jul 16 18:54 |
| schestowitz | FL | Jul 16 18:54 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Not just red states. | Jul 16 18:54 |

| DaemonFC[m] | California says they're reopening the schools after "restricting" testing to people with symptoms and at high risk. | Jul 16 18:55 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So yeah..... That'll end well. | Jul 16 18:55 |
| schestowitz | so they pass the wave through all the enderly | Jul 16 18:56 |
| DaemonFC[m] | What they'll end up with are a bunch of plague spreading kids and nobody can get them tested anyway. | Jul 16 18:56 |

| schestowitz | sooner or later | Jul 16 18:56 |
| schestowitz | unless they can isolate from humanity | Jul 16 18:56 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So they'll run all over the place spewing the virus everywhere. | Jul 16 18:56 |
| schestowitz | which they cannot, they need food | Jul 16 18:56 |
| schestowitz | and some occasionally need to get meds and hospital visits | Jul 16 18:56 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: Like 1/3rd of kids being tested in Florida end up having it right now. | Jul 16 18:57 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I think the news said 32.7% or something. | Jul 16 18:57 |
| schestowitz | what a MESS | Jul 16 18:57 |
| schestowitz | this will ruin their bodies | Jul 16 18:57 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Yeah, the government doesn't care. | Jul 16 18:57 |

| 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 |
| psydroid | fortunately we have Raspberry Pis, Pinebooks and old laptops to reduce the influence of their crimes | Jul 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] | Aside from that, the KDE GNU/Linux system has all kinds of usable software, including LibreOffice, whereas the Windows 10 has Candy Crush and "Hey you! Buy MS Office! Good luck finding out where these pop ups are coming from. It does change, you know!". | Jul 16 19:28 |

| DaemonFC[m] | My impression of the Mac last I tried one, maybe 10 years ago. "This thing is like Linux in the Upside Down.". | Jul 16 20:08 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's like a really, really incompetent Linux that's slow and packed with terrible GUI concepts and DRM on a weird, slow, expensive computer. | Jul 16 20:09 |
| 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 |

| sebsebseb | DaemonFC[m]: disaster why ? | Jul 16 20:21 |
| DaemonFC[m] | No x86 compatibility, no Wine, no Linux, no Windows 10 on boot camp.... Read-only file system that most open source software can't even cope with and breaks in hilarious ways...... Uhhhh. | Jul 16 20:22 |
| sebsebseb | DaemonFC[m]: yeah but some of that is just arm, pine book pro is good thats arm | Jul 16 20:22 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It also doesn't have the chip that makes Linux impossible. | Jul 16 20:23 |

| DaemonFC[m] | Yeah. | Jul 16 20:24 |
| sebsebseb | what do you mean ? | Jul 16 20:24 |

| sebsebseb | yeah could be | Jul 16 20:25 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Also, I don't know if schestowitz noticed, but people on that BtrFS feature were violating the shit out of the CoC. | Jul 16 20:26 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Abusive and hostile and passive-aggressive sarcasm, etc. | Jul 16 20:26 |
| sebsebseb | how they do that ? | Jul 16 20:26 |
| sebsebseb | oh | Jul 16 20:26 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So those are the same developers who pulled damnatio memoriae on Kevin Kofler. | Jul 16 20:27 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Facebook apparently has so much pull on Fedora that they managed to ram it through outside of a fesco meeting. | Jul 16 20:29 |
| 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] | A file system is so central to the underpinnings of the system that Red Hat is not only silent, but conspicuously absent from the conversation at all. | Jul 16 20:32 |
| psydroid | how are they going to make sure the enterprise products are going to be any good, if there aren't any volunteers who are going to test Fedora anymore? | Jul 16 20:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I think the process of Fedora turning into abandonware that eventually collapses has started and we're witnessing that. | Jul 16 20:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | <psydroid "how are they going to make sure "> They don't really seem to care. RHEL has Fedora-like bugs cropping up in it more and more lately. | Jul 16 20:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They're also losing a significant amount of their subscribers to Ubuntu, and nobody there wants to talk about it. | Jul 16 20:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | This has been a steady drip drip drip going on for years. | Jul 16 20:34 |
| 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 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I used Fedora on this laptop for years and initially 32 seemed to be okay, but so many problems gradually crept in through updates (not updates-testing, just....updates) that I gave up. | Jul 16 20:36 |
| DaemonFC[m] | 31 had a few issues like that. Like good kernel, bad kernel, good kernel, baaaaad kernel. | Jul 16 20:36 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So I got around it by version locking myself on a kernel with security problems to avoid Intel fucking around incompetently and bricking things. | Jul 16 20:37 |

| sebsebseb | whats 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 |
| psydroid | I 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 changed | Jul 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 |
| MinceR | unfortunately, Linus will no longer scream at them | Jul 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 |
| MinceR | don't worry, you won't notice | Jul 16 20:58 |
| MinceR | because it will crash anyway | Jul 16 20:58 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If too many things are going on that Windows suspects you're copying it, boom. | Jul 16 20:58 |
| psydroid | do 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 |
| MinceR | yes we do | Jul 16 20:59 |
| MinceR | he's probably the only sane person they might listen to | Jul 16 20:59 |
