| 18:46.50 | KatolaZ | :) | 
| 18:46.56 | DocScrutinizer05 | now for step two of the lesson :-) | 
| 18:47.01 | KatolaZ | I am not saying that I like systemd, though | 
| 18:47.03 | KatolaZ | :D | 
| 18:47.22 | KatolaZ | I have no lessons to teach, BTW... | 
| 18:47.38 | DocScrutinizer05 | a pity, I'm always keen to learn | 
| 18:48.40 | KatolaZ | I believe we mostly learn by our own | 
| 18:48.45 | KatolaZ | :) | 
| 18:49.05 | KatolaZ | though talking with others helps a lot in the process | 
| 18:49.52 | DocScrutinizer05 | now honestly, what been the terrible roadblock those folks ran into, that made then say "we need something completely new"? was it voice in bootmenu? getting bored during 2 minutes of boot time?  problems with multiseat (whoever using such stuff today)? | 
| 18:53.39 | KatolaZ | The answers comes from the past | 
| 18:53.48 | KatolaZ | and from one of the fathers of unix | 
| 18:54.09 | KatolaZ | Those who do not understand Unix are condemned to reinvent it, poorly. | 
| 18:54.14 | KatolaZ | (H. Spencer) | 
| 18:54.23 | DocScrutinizer05 | yep, that's my fav | 
| 18:54.51 | KatolaZ | nothing to be added | 
| 18:54.53 | KatolaZ | IMHO | 
| 18:54.57 | DocScrutinizer05 | :nod: | 
| 18:55.13 | KatolaZ | if we look at what systemd has become | 
| 18:55.45 | KatolaZ | it is clear that a lack of understanding of the principles behind unix is the source of that evil, IMHO | 
| 18:57.12 | DocScrutinizer05 | yep, either lack of understanding or deliberate ignorance ("linux should no longer try to stay compatible to Unix which is broken by design" OWTTE quote Poettering) | 
| 18:57.44 | bulldozer2003 | I imagine "It's old, that means it must be replaced" or the favorite catchphrase "Let's disrupt [insert thing]" |

| 18:59.19 | bulldozer2003 | DocScrutinizer05 Space garbage = target practice? | 
| 19:00.46 | bulldozer2003 | Aren't sysvinit's failings mostly in implementation, aka poor startup scripts? | 
| 19:01.23 | DocScrutinizer05 | definitely, since sysvinit is basically nothing more than a tiny executable and lots of scripts :-) | 
| 19:02.21 | DocScrutinizer05 | but the mere fact it uses scripts _at all_ is considered a defect by systemd cabal | 
| 19:03.06 | bulldozer2003 | I imagine there was some outcry when initrd was introduced as well though? It's kind of a pain, but at least it can be broken open and edited. | 
| 19:04.12 | DocScrutinizer05 | well, initrd "goes away" pretty switftly, you don't see much of it in a booted system | 
| 19:04.34 | crhylove | I love cron.  I don't understand what the systemd cabal problem is. | 
| 19:04.50 | DocScrutinizer05 | yeah, they fsckd up cron too | 
| 19:05.19 | DocScrutinizer05 | their problem is aiui: cron doesn't work like *we* *think* it should | 
| 19:05.34 | crhylove | Figured out how to change the "Main Menu" icon in Mate.  Now for a better wallpaper... | 
| 19:05.47 | DocScrutinizer05 | I.E. it doesn't excute backlog after a system suspend | 
| 19:06.07 | DocScrutinizer05 | after resume actually | 
| 19:06.14 | crhylove | DocScrutinizer05, Yeah, it's like this huge "not built here" syndrome writ large across all of linux by redhat and CIA bad actors. | 
| 19:06.28 | DocScrutinizer05 | which is a *good* thing in my book, however systemd changed that | 
| 19:06.50 | muep | AFAIK cron in systemd-using distros is pretty much the same thing as cron in non-systemd distros | 
| 19:07.06 | DocScrutinizer05 | NIH you meant? :-) |

| 19:13.11 | DocScrutinizer05 | (cron) I can tell you more about it:  http://paste.opensuse.org/8317606 is what a normal run of cron-hourly|daily|weekly looks in my syslog now >:-( | 
| 19:13.48 | muep | isn't that systemd timers, not cron? | 
| 19:15.23 | muep | cron would look like this http://paste.fedoraproject.org/367712/46351251/ | 
| 19:15.47 | DocScrutinizer05 | in the Good Old Times[TM] my syslog for a whole day was shorter than that | 
| 19:17.48 | muep | if you run a traditional syslog daemon, can't it be told to not write log entries from programs whose logs you do not want there, or e.g. direct them to some other file? | 
| 19:18.57 | DocScrutinizer05 | but sure, when everybody and their dog is supposed to use a single logging facility that you should browse with a damn tool like journalctl... this is prolly what you get from it |

| 19:19.51 | crhylove | journalctl is the absolute deal breaker for me.  I can't tail -f /var/lob/whatever.log  ?  I'm out! | 
| 19:20.08 | DocScrutinizer05 | "why do you complain? use journalctl instead the deprecated syslog-ng and less, so it won't even be visible to you" | 
| 19:20.46 | muep | do you mean that journalctl shows those entries, or that it doesn't? | 
| 19:21.11 | DocScrutinizer05 | ooh, what logging is in devuan? |
