MinceRyeah, they failed to break dmix :>Aug 01 22:02
oiaohmartsd and esound use to crash horriblely.Aug 01 22:02

<--en__ has quit (Ping timeout: 258 seconds)Aug 01 22:16
oiaohmTCP network exposed.Aug 01 22:16
MinceRTCP over lo is not exposed to the networkAug 01 22:16
oiaohmnetwork exposed means you cannot always id source of request.Aug 01 22:18
oiaohmTCP is not a full option.Aug 01 22:18
MinceRcommunication with loopback addresses is not routedAug 01 22:18
oiaohmTIPC has it weakness as well.Aug 01 22:18
oiaohmcommunication with loopback can be routed in fact by firewall rules.   Also you don't have clean track of what process request what for security stuff.Aug 01 22:19
MinceRat least they're reliable enough for use on servers and workstationsAug 01 22:19
MinceRwho controls firewall rules?Aug 01 22:20
MinceR"it rather involved being on the other side of this airtight hatchway"Aug 01 22:21
oiaohmdcop and dbus come about because for workstations there are many cases where the options don't work.Aug 01 22:22
oiaohmand it not like we could use the signal system safely either.Aug 01 22:22
MinceRdcop was designed for a desktop environmentAug 01 22:22
MinceRit quit with the end of the sessionAug 01 22:22
oiaohmworkstations are desktops.Aug 01 22:22
MinceRthe "designers" of dbugs should have thought about porting that concept to a broader contextAug 01 22:22
oiaohmdcop did not always stop at end of session either there was a system wide option kde when it appeared.Aug 01 22:22
MinceRdcop was literally a part of kdeAug 01 22:23
MinceR(it was also a lot more reliable and usable than dbugs, btw)Aug 01 22:23
oiaohmsystemctl will in fact control systemd with dbus disabled.Aug 01 22:23
MinceRthe systemd-datetimed and systemd-hostnamed bullshit APIs won't work without dbugsAug 01 22:24
MinceRso upgrading dbugs will break clients using themAug 01 22:24
oiaohmReally what IPC would you implement those features on.Aug 01 22:25
MinceRi wouldn't use IPC for them at allAug 01 22:25
MinceRstandard Unix commands worked fineAug 01 22:25
oiaohmSo you want use to lift privialage and not be able to do it as part of graphical.Aug 01 22:25
MinceRthat would be fine for what those doAug 01 22:26
MinceRalso if it is desired, frontends could be implemented for DEs without forcing them on everyoneAug 01 22:26
oiaohmdatetimed and hostnamed does not block you from using command line where it suiteAug 01 22:26
MinceRpossibly even based on a non-shit IPCAug 01 22:26
MinceRyeah, as long as your bosses graciously allow us to use command lineAug 01 22:26
MinceRpraise them for their lenienceAug 01 22:27
oiaohmFirst time hostname and datetime was done over a desktop IPC was in dcop with kde.Aug 01 22:27
MinceRat least nothing expect dcop to keep running foreverAug 01 22:27
MinceRs/ct/cts/Aug 01 22:27
oiaohmAll those two are is unification so gnome and kde and other don't keep on reimplementing them with different levels of breakages.Aug 01 22:27
MinceRalso, dcop doesn't force you to type in the same domain path 3 times, in 2 formats, just to send a messageAug 01 22:28
MinceRand kdcop doesn't shit itself all the time, unlike d-feetAug 01 22:28
MinceRso it can be actually used to discover what calls are possibleAug 01 22:28
oiaohmdcop did explode a lot of times.Aug 01 22:28
MinceRit never exploded for meAug 01 22:28
MinceReven though it probably wouldn't have harmed anything if it didAug 01 22:28
MinceRunlike dbugsAug 01 22:28
oiaohmboth dbus and dcop are working on top of kernel API that had issues.Aug 01 22:28
MinceRi'm sure your idols will fix those APIsAug 01 22:29
MinceRjust like they fixed cgroupsAug 01 22:29
MinceRoh waitAug 01 22:29
oiaohmImplement on dbus I can understand.  Not working to fix the lower level stuff that was horrible.Aug 01 22:29
MinceRof course you canAug 01 22:29
oiaohmcgroups fixed some problems.Aug 01 22:29
MinceRanything poettering and his fans do is perfect by definitionAug 01 22:29
MinceRand caused some othersAug 01 22:30
MinceRbut who's countingAug 01 22:30
oiaohmNot perfect.Aug 01 22:30
MinceRnevertheless, they will behave as if it wasAug 01 22:30
MinceRfixed in place forever, engraved in more and more cancerd APIsAug 01 22:30
MinceRwith a mountain of gratuitous dependencies on topAug 01 22:30
oiaohmI don't beleve pulseaudio or systemd was perfect but both have worked out kernel API properly and resulted in a lot of kernel level fixes that need to be done.Aug 01 22:31
MinceRtoo bad they only killed most of the distributions using that kernelAug 01 22:31
MinceRin a few decades almost nobody will use it, but hey, at least some bugs will be fixedAug 01 22:31
MinceRand judging by gkh's attitude regarding kdbus, i doubt that anything will ever get fixed in the kernel, actuallyAug 01 22:32
oiaohmI do hope in a few decades systemd is history.Aug 01 22:32
MinceRalong with LinuxAug 01 22:32
MinceRand then microsoft will try to take over whichever BSD winsAug 01 22:32

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-Deviations · bus1/dbus-broker Wiki · GitHubAug 01 22:32
MinceRunless we kill the bastardsAug 01 22:32
MinceRyeah, it also lead to the compromise of the Linux development methodAug 01 22:33
oiaohmThis has resulted in some of the kernel level IPC being fixed.Aug 01 22:33
MinceRand if it were up to gkh, there would be no bus1Aug 01 22:33
MinceRonly kdbus.Aug 01 22:33
oiaohmkdbus failed then dbus-broker takes a different route.Aug 01 22:33
MinceRand since Linus is out of the way, it is only up to gkh now.Aug 01 22:33
oiaohmand find other IPC functions in the Linux kernel broken and get those fixed.Aug 01 22:33
MinceRthe next horrible piece of shit like kdbus _will_ get merged.Aug 01 22:33
MinceRwithout critique or question or QA.Aug 01 22:34
oiaohmgkh is style would mean kdbus would not have got merged long term here.Aug 01 22:34
MinceRand if anyone raises their way, the SJW army will turn them into unemployed outcastsAug 01 22:34
MinceRso enjoy your dead kernel while you still can.Aug 01 22:34
MinceRs/way/voice/Aug 01 22:34
oiaohmLinux kernel development has been broken for over 20 years.Aug 01 22:34
MinceRand now it will be deadAug 01 22:35
MinceRi just hope the surviving free software projects will finally learn their lessonsAug 01 22:35
MinceRabout SJWs and corporate influenceAug 01 22:35
oiaohmMinceR: really SJW bullshitAug 01 22:35
MinceRyes they areAug 01 22:35
oiaohmI see you don't have a valid pointAug 01 22:35
MinceRbut people still listen to themAug 01 22:35
MinceRLinux still has a CoCAug 01 22:35
oiaohmYou do this ever time I point you to the IPC problemAug 01 22:35
MinceRyou don't see the connections, do you?Aug 01 22:36
oiaohmStop the SJW shit and give me a iPC that works for the Linux desktop.Aug 01 22:36

oiaohmanwerAug 01 22:36
MinceRi gave you 3Aug 01 22:36
MinceRi'm pretty sure there are moreAug 01 22:36
oiaohmNo where is the iPCAug 01 22:36
oiaohmYou asked why dbusAug 01 22:36
MinceRand as an added bonus, your beloved dbugs still depends on unix domain sockets, afaikAug 01 22:36
oiaohmthe answer is there is no better choice at the moment.Aug 01 22:37
MinceRyes there isAug 01 22:37
oiaohmNoAug 01 22:37
MinceReven the dbugs concept could have been designed and implemented betterAug 01 22:37
oiaohmYou have not provided one.Aug 01 22:37
oiaohmSo you don't have oneAug 01 22:37
MinceRthey just couldn't be arsed to back when they couldAug 01 22:37
MinceRthere are tons of IPC mechanisms in Unix, and further ones can be built on top of themAug 01 22:38
oiaohmdbus broker shows clearly dbus-deamon is mega broken.Aug 01 22:38
oiaohmReality is the Linux kernel most of the iPC has been broken implemented.Aug 01 22:38
MinceRi'd say dbugs is overengineered, if i believed it was engineered at allAug 01 22:38
oiaohmoverengineered attempt to work around kernel level defects they were not fixing is dbus-deamon.Aug 01 22:39
MinceRbut using their CLI once should make it clear that it wasn'tAug 01 22:39
oiaohmCLI and deamon two different development teams.Aug 01 22:39
MinceRwho cares?Aug 01 22:39
MinceRthe latter came up with kdbusAug 01 22:40
MinceRso they're about as incompetent as they comeAug 01 22:40
oiaohmkdbus does not come from the team that made dbus-deamon.Aug 01 22:40
oiaohmWe have 3 different dbusAug 01 22:40
MinceRyou don't like the performance of your software, what do you do, profile it? fuck no, just throw it in the kernel!Aug 01 22:40
oiaohmdbus-deamon.  kdbus and dbus-broker.Aug 01 22:40
oiaohmkdbus and dbus-broker come out the same development team.Aug 01 22:41
MinceRand the issue popped up when they were using messages over 512kBAug 01 22:41
MinceRwtf were they even doing?Aug 01 22:41
oiaohmWhat happens one someone miss read code notes.Aug 01 22:41
MinceRi've never met Miss Read Code NotesAug 01 22:42
MinceRis she nice?Aug 01 22:42
oiaohmdbus-deamon comments had note after note about kernel faults causing horrible works arounds.Aug 01 22:42
oiaohmSo kdbus developer took that as if we move the code into kernel we will be able to fix things.Aug 01 22:42

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-lkml.iu.edu | Linux-Kernel Archive: Re: [GIT PULL] kdbus for 4.1-rc1Aug 01 22:43
oiaohmdbus-broker they did end up fixing ipc stuff in kernel space.Aug 01 22:43
MinceRsee, i don't want that sort of developer writing code in the kernel i'm runningAug 01 22:43
oiaohmas well as keeping most stuff still in userspace.Aug 01 22:43
MinceRand i don't want the sort of person who happily supports this to be in charge of the kernel i'm running eitherAug 01 22:43
MinceRand this naturally leads to the question of why is Linus not in charge anymoreAug 01 22:44
MinceRthe only sane person in the management of the project, apparentlyAug 01 22:44
oiaohmMinceR: notice how there is a lot of locks in what Linus profiled.Aug 01 22:44
MinceRwhose job is it to notice locks?Aug 01 22:44
MinceRin userland code, i meanAug 01 22:45
oiaohmLot of those locks were preventing running into Linux kernel bugs.Aug 01 22:45
MinceRspecifically, in dbugsAug 01 22:45
MinceRand the solution to kernel locks is "just throw it in the kernel, like on NT"?Aug 01 22:45
oiaohmSo after kdbus there was a lot of Linux kernel patchs in different areas fixing up bugs that have been locked protected over.Aug 01 22:45
MinceRjust shovel the whole thing into kernelAug 01 22:45
MinceRpreferably so that it also can't be swapped outAug 01 22:46
oiaohmI agree that was kind of the wrong move.Aug 01 22:46
MinceRand then make everything depend on itAug 01 22:46
MinceRincluding pid1Aug 01 22:46
oiaohmBut there were problems kernel side that had been ignored.Aug 01 22:46
MinceRthis is a development model problem that is being ignoredAug 01 22:46
oiaohmpid1 of system is option to use dbus.Aug 01 22:46
MinceRand a personnel problem that is also being ignoredAug 01 22:46
MinceRyeah, i want such optional parts in my pid1Aug 01 22:46
oiaohmRemember it has to start dbus so it has to work before dbus is up.Aug 01 22:46
MinceRthe more code there is, the easier it is to make the kernel panic with a crashAug 01 22:46
MinceRwell, they had a "solution" for that tooAug 01 22:47
MinceRthey announced that systemd will depend on kdbusAug 01 22:47
oiaohmEmbedded commonly use systemd without dbus at all.Aug 01 22:47
MinceRproperly designed embedded doesn't use systemd nor dbugsAug 01 22:47
MinceRand if things keep going this way, it soon also won't use LinuxAug 01 22:47
oiaohmsystemd containers and watchdogs work great in embedded.Aug 01 22:48
MinceRyeah, we "embedded" a supercomputerAug 01 22:48
oiaohmOf course you don't want to admit systemd has some good features.Aug 01 22:48
MinceRso we could afford the CPU time and RAM of running all that poetteringwareAug 01 22:48
MinceRi want to admit it, but it just isn't trueAug 01 22:48
MinceRso i can'tAug 01 22:48
MinceRthey work like microsoftAug 01 22:48
MinceRthey fuck up everything they ever doAug 01 22:49
MinceRmaybe you could get them to stop?Aug 01 22:49
oiaohmMicrosoft does not provide working watchdogs or containser around services.Aug 01 22:49
MinceRindeedAug 01 22:49
MinceRneither does Gnome OSAug 01 22:49
oiaohmSo I never get why you compare systemd to windows.Aug 01 22:49
MinceRbut apparently there are plenty of people for whom "working" is not a requirementAug 01 22:49
oiaohmFeature wise they don't line up at all.Aug 01 22:49
MinceRthey're both the same sort of inflexible, fascist, bloated shit that's designed to take away all freedoms of the userAug 01 22:50
MinceRthey're pushed with similar political tricksAug 01 22:50
oiaohmNOAug 01 22:50
MinceRthey both act as if processes were stupid expensiveAug 01 22:50
MinceRonly they really are on NTAug 01 22:50
MinceRand they aren't (yet) on LinuxAug 01 22:50
oiaohmNOAug 01 22:50
MinceRlouder!Aug 01 22:50
oiaohmEverything in PID1 is iPC issues.Aug 01 22:51
MinceRsure it isAug 01 22:51
MinceRlike mounting filesystemsAug 01 22:51
MinceRor setting hostnameAug 01 22:51
oiaohmmounting file systems is not done by PID1 in systemAug 01 22:51
MinceRor running timed jobsAug 01 22:51
oiaohmneither is setting hostnameAug 01 22:51
oiaohmagain noAug 01 22:51
oiaohmcome on when are you going to get one right.Aug 01 22:51
MinceRIPC doesn't even belong in PID1Aug 01 22:51
MinceRlook up what the two things pid1 is supposed to do on Unix, i'll waitAug 01 22:52
oiaohmHang on sysvinit uses signals for IPC.Aug 01 22:52
oiaohmto PID1.Aug 01 22:52
MinceRyeah, sysvinit already does too muchAug 01 22:52
MinceRso, obviously, the microsoftoid "solution" is to do even moreAug 01 22:52
oiaohmSo sorry PID1 in a lot of cases does have IPC.Aug 01 22:52
MinceRi didn't say it didn't have IPCAug 01 22:52
oiaohmAgainAug 01 22:52
MinceRi said it didn't belong thereAug 01 22:52
oiaohmMicrosoft Aug 01 22:53
MinceRsee the difference?Aug 01 22:53
oiaohmsystemd was not model after MicrosoftAug 01 22:53
MinceRsure it wasAug 01 22:53
oiaohmNoAug 01 22:53
MinceRnot many OSes do binary logging, for exampleAug 01 22:53
oiaohmlanchd and smf is what system was model after.Aug 01 22:53
oiaohmsolaris has binary logging.Aug 01 22:53
MinceRnot many OSes have tricks intended to attack competitors built into them eitherAug 01 22:53
oiaohmSolaris,  OS XAug 01 22:54
oiaohmas wellAug 01 22:54
oiaohmTry againAug 01 22:54
MinceRyeah, but SMF and even launchd isn't trying to do as many things in one process as cancerd isAug 01 22:54
MinceRwindows is.Aug 01 22:54
oiaohmSMF didAug 01 22:54
oiaohmFirst versionAug 01 22:54
MinceRsome versions of SMF don't even run as pid1Aug 01 22:54
oiaohmYes first version SMF run everything including network time in PID1.Aug 01 22:54
MinceRthey rely on sysvinit to respawn them if they crashAug 01 22:54
MinceRlike it respawns gettyAug 01 22:55
oiaohmLater versions of SMF after IPC stuff worked moved out of pid1.Aug 01 22:55
oiaohmSolaris had the same borken IPC stuff in kernel as Linux has.Aug 01 22:55
MinceRyeah, slowlaris was broken in similar ways to winblowsAug 01 22:55
MinceReven had the windowing system built into the kernel at some pointAug 01 22:55
MinceRthey're probably the worst OSes to ever existAug 01 22:56
oiaohmslowlaris comparing systemd makes sense.Aug 01 22:56
MinceRnaturally, cancerd has to copy themAug 01 22:56
MinceRVMS is also one of the worst OSes to ever exist, but NT is its successorAug 01 22:56
oiaohmzones that solaris has is a line up to cgroups/namespaces.Aug 01 22:56
MinceRdo zones also fail to do what they're supposed to?Aug 01 22:57
oiaohmYes they didAug 01 22:57
MinceRdo they still fail?Aug 01 22:57
oiaohmzones had 4 rewrites before they worked.Aug 01 22:57
MinceRsee, windows still doesn't workAug 01 22:57
oiaohmIn production releases.Aug 01 22:57
MinceRand never willAug 01 22:57
MinceRthere's a closer parallel to windowsAug 01 22:57
oiaohmcgroup v2 in fact worksAug 01 22:57
MinceRin fact, windows just keeps getting worseAug 01 22:57
MinceRoh, it does?Aug 01 22:57
oiaohmpidfd fix was a fix solaris had todo.Aug 01 22:57
MinceRso, can cancerd properly terminate the shell on shutdown now?Aug 01 22:58
oiaohmas well to get SMF out PID1.Aug 01 22:58
oiaohmsolaris session kill did the same things as logind.Aug 01 22:58
oiaohmsmf session killAug 01 22:58
MinceRthat's fine, i'm not planning to use slowlaris anywayAug 01 22:58
MinceRit can make the hardware explode for all i careAug 01 22:59
MinceRit's not fit for use in productionAug 01 22:59
MinceRjust like macos, windows and systemdAug 01 22:59
oiaohmsystemd is not a Microsoft copy.   Its really a early SMF copy + lanchd stuff.Aug 01 22:59
MinceRoh, and vmsAug 01 22:59
oiaohmbut with a kernel with faults that solaris kernel had fixed.Aug 01 22:59
oiaohmSo lot of horrible work arounds in systemd still until those are gone.Aug 01 23:00
oiaohmAt least systemd did not go the xml route for unit files as SMF did.Aug 01 23:00
MinceRi think if poettering really had balls, he'd move everything into the kernelAug 01 23:00
MinceRlike TempleOSAug 01 23:00
oiaohmpoettering was not the one who was pushing to merge everything into the kernel.Aug 01 23:01
MinceRright, it was some other part of the cult, at least nominallyAug 01 23:01
oiaohmIn fact his history has normally been wanting to keep stuff out of the kernel.Aug 01 23:01
MinceRpay no attention to the relationship between kdbus and cancerdAug 01 23:01
oiaohmThe one assigned to explore and fix up dbus went kernel mad.Aug 01 23:02
oiaohmYou can see poettering work with pulseaudio with test cases and the like to get alsa drivers fixed up.Aug 01 23:02
MinceRfunny approach to testingAug 01 23:02
MinceRtest a few things, ignore most known issues, attack those who report issuesAug 01 23:03
oiaohmpoettering is more likely to make test cases for kernel to demo faults and get faults fixed in kernel without adding more code.   his kernel work normally make kernel smaller.Aug 01 23:03
MinceRmaybe he has a vendetta against the kernel :>Aug 01 23:03
oiaohmAs a project maintainer he suxs.Aug 01 23:03
oiaohmBut as a developer of test suites he is good.Aug 01 23:03
MinceRso why was he appointed the supreme architect of the OS?Aug 01 23:04
oiaohmBasically he was in the line of people who were asked to do the job and he failed to send email saying no I would not.Aug 01 23:05
MinceRthat's a fantastic process for selecting managersAug 01 23:05
MinceRdid red hat come up with it?Aug 01 23:05
oiaohmThink the classic example of line of people some ask for some step forwards todo job and everyone steps backwards bar one.Aug 01 23:05
oiaohmSerousally that is basically how he got the job.Aug 01 23:06
oiaohmNot that he exactly wanted it.Aug 01 23:06
MinceRsounds like GNU and Linux were doomed well before i saw any of itAug 01 23:06
oiaohmFor how bad the selection process was for systemd lead I am quite supprised disruption has been as small.Aug 01 23:07
oiaohmMinceR: as I have said systemd is a nightmare that had to happen to get a lot of kernel level faults fixed.Aug 01 23:09
MinceRwhat use is fixing flaws in the kernel if the kernel gets killed and the userland gets killed?Aug 01 23:09
oiaohmWith out fixing the foundation ie the kernel the system was going to fail long term anyhow.Aug 01 23:10
MinceRwhy do you people always have to not only throw out the baby with the bathwater but also ritually slaughter the whole extended family and nuke the neighborhood?Aug 01 23:11
oiaohmIts been like the LSM stuff.    we are now seeing cgroups/namespaces allow BPF filters for network at this stage invidiaully this will come for syscalls and the like.Aug 01 23:11
MinceRi doubt i even use LSMAug 01 23:12
MinceRi don't use SELinuxAug 01 23:12
oiaohmSo applications will be able to ship with strong security settings without having to ship like 50 differenet LSM configurations.Aug 01 23:12
MinceRwhere "strong security settings" means "tons of extra bloat with extra vulnerabilities lurking within"Aug 01 23:12
MinceRthat is if you're luckyAug 01 23:13
MinceRif you aren't, there are also some NSA backdoors in therAug 01 23:13
MinceReAug 01 23:13
MinceRthe anti-hardened OSAug 01 23:13
oiaohmBPF filtering is quite well designed so far.Aug 01 23:15
oiaohmReally its a funny historic throw back as well.Aug 01 23:15
<--n003l has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds)Aug 01 23:15
oiaohmMinceR: apparmor vs smack vs SEinux vs.....   LSM model really horrible make the kdbus idea almost look like sanity.Aug 01 23:17
MinceRat least those are optionalAug 01 23:17
MinceRthe cult is working hard at making cancerd non-optionalAug 01 23:18
MinceR"systemd® -- It's so good, nobody would use it if we didn't force it on them!™"Aug 01 23:18
oiaohmDifferent groups did choose use systemd because it did address the problems they were dealing with.Aug 01 23:19
oiaohmSo nobody would use without force is not true.Aug 01 23:19
MinceRwhat a glowing endorsementAug 01 23:20
oiaohmThose maintaining distributions have habit of supporting the largest percentage of their userbase and everyone else can sux it.Aug 01 23:20
MinceRhot implicationsAug 01 23:21
oiaohmNot a process I 100 percent agree with.Aug 01 23:21
oiaohmIts how we have end up with distributions with different default LSM and never properly sorting out the LSM issues.Aug 01 23:21
MinceRmost of those are way too difficult to useAug 01 23:22
MinceRthis and the dangers of extra bloat makes them pointlessAug 01 23:22
oiaohmExactly mega levels of broken.Aug 01 23:23
MinceRbut hey, some government droids decided that MAC was mandatory in some government applicationsAug 01 23:25
MinceRwithout understanding what it wasAug 01 23:25
MinceRprobably because some corporate marketroid (who also doesn't understand what it is) sold the "feature" to themAug 01 23:25
MinceRit is apparently in the use case of some important people, so let's fuck up the entire OS for everyoneAug 01 23:26
MinceRalso how mountspaces are managed under systemd/LinuxAug 01 23:26

oiaohmmount space management under systemd does help with nfs client screw upsAug 01 23:30
oiaohmAnd userspace cluster file systems as well.Aug 01 23:30
oiaohmMinceR: yes some things like mount spaces and systemd there are users it helping as well as those its annoying the hell out of.Aug 01 23:31
oiaohmand I guess you are the laterAug 01 23:31
MinceRyes, there was some (apparently important) client to redhat for whom it was important that it be set up in one particular wayAug 01 23:32
MinceRso, naturally, it had to be forced on everyone who uses cancerdAug 01 23:32
MinceRbecause screw everyone elseAug 01 23:32
oiaohmIt help the users with the file systems I listed.Aug 01 23:32
oiaohmThat is quite a large number of end users.Aug 01 23:32
MinceRwhatever, i can easily learn another unixAug 01 23:32
MinceRthese corporate types will be screwed hard, thoughAug 01 23:32
MinceRbut i doubt they'll ever learnAug 01 23:33
oiaohmThere is a problem where no matter what you do a percentage of people are going to hate you.Aug 01 23:34
MinceRi'm used to thatAug 01 23:34
MinceRmillions of people i don't know and who don't know me hate meAug 01 23:35
MinceRsome of them because i have light skinAug 01 23:35
MinceRsome of them because i'm not religiousAug 01 23:35
MinceRsome of them because i'm not a fascistAug 01 23:35
MinceRhumanity is a train wreck, but we can see the endAug 01 23:35
MinceRit will be painfulAug 01 23:35
MinceRand there will be a lot of collateral damageAug 01 23:36
MinceRbut at least this cancer on the face of the planet we know as "human" will be wiped outAug 01 23:36
oiaohmdistribution development is really just extend of the human world.Aug 01 23:36
MinceRindeedAug 01 23:36
MinceRit could have been otherwiseAug 01 23:37
MinceRall that was necessary was to only allow engineers have a say in itAug 01 23:37
<--gde33 has quit (*.net *.split)Aug 01 23:37
<--Glyphie44 has quit (*.net *.split)Aug 01 23:37
MinceRnaturally, that didn't happenAug 01 23:37
MinceRcontrol freaks fuck this up for us just like they fuck everything else upAug 01 23:37
oiaohmEven if you just have engineers they are still only humans.Aug 01 23:38
oiaohmDoes not prevent these messes off different ideas or broken designs.Aug 01 23:39
MinceRbut at least they're humans who have their skin in the gameAug 01 23:39

oiaohmA lot of the Linux problems have bene engineers having their own ideas and basically be like hurding cats.Aug 01 23:42
MinceRa lot of it is optionalAug 01 23:42
MinceRcancerd could have been optional tooAug 01 23:42
MinceRbut of course then the NSA wouldn't have had their wayAug 01 23:42
oiaohmReally a lot of systemd is optional but then distribution packaging does not display those options.Aug 01 23:44
MinceRwe don't need a thousand systemd/Linux distributions anywayAug 01 23:44
oiaohmEven before systemd we had a distribution plague.Aug 01 23:45
MinceRespecially since one of the core tenets of systemd is that choice is bad and everything should be "standardized" by poetteringAug 01 23:45
MinceRbefore systemd we had distributions that had a pointAug 01 23:45
oiaohm??Aug 01 23:45
oiaohmSo items like whitebox had a point?Aug 01 23:45
MinceRwe had diversity, we had different ideas in themAug 01 23:45
oiaohmI guess you don't get what I mean by whitebox.Aug 01 23:45
MinceRif things go on like this, soon even the package manager will be "standardized"Aug 01 23:45

MinceRthe proliferation of systemd/Linux distributions goes against one of the things these people allegedly believe inAug 01 23:46
oiaohmWe have had a lot of pointless level forking.Aug 01 23:46
MinceRi didn't have this shit in mindAug 01 23:47
oiaohmAlso we had a huge stack of init parts that distributions were usign that were no longer maintained in their init process some that had not been maintained for over 15 years when systemd started.Aug 01 23:47
MinceRand will probably always work better than the constantly churning systemd code ever didAug 01 23:48
oiaohmSome had CVE numbers for over 6 years.Aug 01 23:48
oiaohmSo they were not working.Aug 01 23:48
oiaohmat least correctly.Aug 01 23:48
MinceRdidn't your emperor say CVE numbers don't matter?Aug 01 23:48
MinceRor they only don't matter when they apply to sacred projects such as systemd?Aug 01 23:49
oiaohmdon't give me that.Aug 01 23:49
MinceRtruth hurts, doesn't it?Aug 01 23:49
oiaohmI have never backed the idea that CVE number don't matter or that the development lead of systemd should really be in that role.Aug 01 23:50
oiaohmIts not that the truth hurts it that you are attempting generic arguement like that one me that don't apply to me.Aug 01 23:50
oiaohmThe reality there  has been a security mess for a while well before systemd started.Aug 01 23:51

MinceRthe good old "others did it too" argument. never ceases to... accomplish what, exactly?Aug 01 23:52
oiaohmAlso there has been a long term problem of not fixing stuff up in kernel space.Aug 01 23:52
oiaohmsystemd and pulseaudio both have lead to kernel level fixing.Aug 01 23:52
MinceRwhich is fixed by breaking stuff in kernel spaceAug 01 23:52
MinceRand if the ashtray catches fire, i fix that by dousing the house with gasoline and setting it on fireAug 01 23:52
oiaohmDemo strating the breakage is required to get kernelspace fixed.Aug 01 23:53
MinceRand if the firemen come out and put it out, i can show that it has lead to fire extinguishing.Aug 01 23:53
MinceRyes, i do all my demos in production tooAug 01 23:53
MinceRpreferably in other people's productionAug 01 23:53
MinceRafter they've explicitly told me they don't want itAug 01 23:53
oiaohmThe firemen example is how humans got around to having fire alarms and other things.Aug 01 23:54
MinceRwill we also have a corporate meddling alarm and an SJW meddling alarm in the future?Aug 01 23:55
oiaohmCorporate meddling that started in the Linux world in by 1996.   So that is not a new problem.Aug 01 23:56
MinceRdid i say it was?Aug 01 23:57
MinceRits toxicity wasn't so apparent until more recentlyAug 01 23:57
oiaohmSJW stuff in the Linux world is really not that much once you look closer.   Its not SJW its something lot more scary.  What happen here with Linus is that the normal legal system started catching up with the internet. Aug 01 23:59
