18:42.49 | Inocuous | someone just asked my what does devuan use for init |
18:42.50 | Inocuous | idk |
18:43.01 | ksx4system | sysvinit |
18:43.18 | ksx4system | (but you can of course use openrc or even write your own) |

18:44.54 | Inocuous | probably systemd devs |
18:45.10 | DocScrutinizer05 | what was the problem that made this sound any reasonable? |
18:45.44 | KatolaZ | DocScrutinizer05: sysvinit has problems, as any software conceived 30+ years ago |
18:45.52 | DocScrutinizer05 | sure |
18:45.59 | KatolaZ | it depends on whether those problems affect you or not |
18:46.03 | KatolaZ | :) |
18:46.04 | DocScrutinizer05 | but it nevertheless worked since 30 years |
18:46.14 | DocScrutinizer05 | or what you said :-) |
18:46.33 | KatolaZ | well, computers today are undeniably not similar to what they were 35 years ago... |
18:46.46 | DocScrutinizer05 | ok |
18:46.50 | KatolaZ | :) |
18:46.56 | DocScrutinizer05 | now for step two of the lesson :-) |

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 |

18:55.13 | 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 |

19:13.11 | 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? |
19:21.30 | DocScrutinizer05 | per default |

19:22.24 | Leander256 | I have rsyslog running, so it must be it, indeed |
19:26.09 | muep | crhylove: just FYI, you could do journalctl -f and it would behave similarly to tailing a log file |
