18:39.11josephpagoda???
18:41.56shalkiejosephpagoda: Sorry, conversation from yesterday. Shalkies logs runs for days apparently in this room.
18:42.18josephpagodaah
18:42.22herloshalkie: I sitll plan to -- them again, this was just *one* thing they did right
18:42.34herlojosephpagoda: comcast started implementing dnssec in 2010
18:42.56shalkieWhat about the, experimental at least, implementation of IPv6?
18:43.06herlothey inserted a cheesy dns entry into my resolver and I wasn't sure why, which is how I discovered it
18:43.11herloshalkie: that's related somewhat
18:43.33herloshalkie: it seems they are part of the same project
18:43.40shalkieInteresting...
18:44.01herloshalkie: yeah, so they got a ++ for that, but NM was giving me fits yesterday
18:44.32herloI downgraded it because I discovered that there was no /etc/init.d/NetworkManager script anymore
18:44.46herlowent into #fedora to ask why and discovered that systemd changes that as well
18:45.08herlowhich is fine, just wish there was a script that said 'deprecated, please use ... instead'
18:45.26fugue88systemd is fascist.
18:45.29fugue88:P
18:45.43fugue88Give my rc scripts, or give me death!
18:45.46fugue88s/my/me/
18:45.51herlolol
18:45.58herlofugue88: I actually really like systemd
18:46.08herlotoo bad ubuntu will never use it and instead use their broken upstart
18:46.09fugue88Yeah, it and upstart both sound really cool.
18:46.13fugue88heh
18:46.50Nafaiwhat's broken about upstart?
18:47.53herlofugue88: in his systemd article, http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/why.html
18:48.00herlohe explains why upstart is doomed
18:48.15herloNafai: it's architecture is problematic
18:48.43herloNafai: see the article I just pointed fugue88 to above ^^ :)
18:49.20herloI don't mean to say that upstart sucks or anything. I like it too, it definitely has potential, just that I think systemd is the future. I especially feel that way after reading that article
18:50.03NafaiI tend to take anything Lennart has written with a huge grain of salty
18:50.05Nafaisalt
18:50.11herloLennart Poettering wrote systemd. He's also the infamous author of pulseaudio, which nobody likes but works better than any other sound system
18:50.29NafaiIt's taken a long time for PulseAudio to become viable
18:50.34herloNafai: yeah, except when you realize how good of a programmer he is
18:50.57herloNafai: yeah, pulse took a long time because of the broken sound architecture underneath and poor packaging by unnamed distros...
18:51.36Nafaiahem, I imagine the only reason it was packaged "properly" by other distros was the developer happened to work for them
18:51.37fugue88herlo: PulseAudio has plenty of crashes due to its own code, as well.
18:51.38Nafai:)
18:51.43herlomost of the underlying sound archictecture is fixed these days thanks to alsa and pulse, but it got a bad name due to others mishandling it and frustration
18:52.08herlofugue88: true, but it's like any other system in linux, experimental when you implement it to work out those issues.
18:52.22fugue88The only benefit I as a user have ever seen from PA is per-application volume.
18:52.34herloNafai: nope, Lennart actually went and helped althernate distributions fix their errors
18:53.03herlofugue88: well, it works with many different sound systems, oss, esound, alsa. Only Jack can do as well from what I have seen.
18:53.20NafaiOnce Canonical hired TheMuso to work full time and a large part of his duties were sound, they were fixed
18:53.51herloNafai: didn't know that, cool. I know that lennart went over and helped ubuntu fix their packaging issues and it fixed a ton too
18:54.14NafaiPeople are just quick to point fingers to their non-favorite distros (myself included) without knowing the people behind them, the resources available, etc
18:54.14herlobut pulse isn't an init system. I'd say it is actually more complex
18:54.16fugue88herlo: I had alsa+dmix for the longest time, still do on a couple of systems, and *never* had problems with it.
18:54.23fugue88PA still gives occasional problems on one of those systems when booted to a different distro.
18:54.37herlofugue88: you should file bugs :)
18:54.41fugue88Agree, PA more complex.
18:54.48fugue88herlo: The bugs are already there.
18:54.56herlofugue88: you +1d them right?
18:54.57fugue88Some of them for years.
18:55.09fugue88herlo: Nope.
18:55.19herloI'm sure they'll get squashed...if you help remind the authors they are there
18:55.27herloit'll probably go faster that way
18:55.31fugue88After a bug has so many affected's, one more doesn't really help.
18:55.42fugue88And others complain continuously.
18:55.53fugue88My voice really would not contribute.
18:55.54herlothat's life sometimes
18:55.58fugue88Yep.
18:56.06fugue88Anyway, here's my beef with systemd.
18:56.07Nafaimy big concern is in open source that there are a lot of "old boy's clubs" and people outside their ciricles aren't listened to
18:56.09herlofugue88: do you feel that way about the political system too :)
18:56.17fugue88herlo: heh, no.
18:56.19herlokids
18:56.36herloNafai: sure, as with any other industry.
18:56.47fugue88herlo: Then again, I'm not part of an overwhelmingly voiciferous part of the politcal population.
18:56.54fugue88;)
18:57.07fugue88k, systemd beef:
18:57.25fugue88I think it's design to auto start services on first access by watching sockets, pipes, files, &c, is brilliant.
18:57.27herlofugue88: me either. In fact I prefer to listen to what rhetoric I'me exposed by my choosing and make my own decisions about who's right and wrong.
18:58.15fugue88But then, it tries to pull way too much, imo, of other functionality under its umbrella, like setting priority, uid/gid, etc, that can already be done be existing utilities, as the admin sees fit.
18:58.31fugue88herlo: Mind rewording that last statement?  I don't understand it.
18:58.52herlofugue88: oh, I was just saying that I don't enjoy being caught in flame wars in #utah
18:58.59herloabout politics
18:59.03fugue88heh
18:59.25herlomore or less, those sorts of SHOUTING there and on facebook and other places my so-called friends like to rant isn't my idea of fun
18:59.53fugue88It gives some (too many) people their "democracy fix".
19:00.12fugue88Then they can go back to tv and not think about it until the next flame a week later.
19:00.22fugue88:)
19:00.26fugue88Anyway...
19:00.29fugue88turns back to his tv
19:00.30NafaiI get caught up in the political stuff too much
19:00.32fugue88j/k
19:00.59fugue88herlo: So, what do *you* think about systemd taking on all that other stuff, like uid/gid, priority, etc.
19:01.00NafaiMainly because it feels like the vociferous ones seem to ignore my point of view and their are dogmatically absolutely correct
19:01.03fugue88?
19:01.19fugue88(that ? was for herlo)
19:01.40Nafais/their/they/
19:02.02fugue88Nafai: And your thoughts on systemd are welcome too.
19:02.15fugue88isn't trying to start a flame, just get some better-informed opinions
19:02.39herloNafai: sure
19:03.03Nafaifugue88: I haven't delved deep enough into it to have an informed opinion
19:03.13NafaiSo all I can say is that it originated from RH so it must be bad. :)
19:03.17herlofugue88: I think there are definite debates on how much an init system should take. I kind of like the convenience of having it all in one tool.
19:04.00herlobut I can see the logic of wanting it in both places. I've not read much about all of those controls so I'll have to do a bit more reading. Was actually going to spend a bit of time reading his 'systemd for administrators' today
19:04.09fugue88Ah, cool.
19:04.42herlojust so many cool things to use and play with these days, plus all the normal work and then there's goose and fpaste and silver and all of my other little projects floating around in my head :)
19:04.43fugue88Nafai: You are absolutely correct, you dogmatic vociferous commentator, you.  :)
19:05.24herlolol
19:06.21herlofugue88: overall, I think I like the work that Lennart does. Even with the debate over PA and the alternates for init systems, I really like his code, ideas and planning.
19:07.50herloI can say that there are many people I admire who are very similar in this way. I think the biggest contribution Ubuntu has made to free software code is Upstart. I do think there are some problems with it and would like to see either a rearchitecting or adoption of systemd or something that melds the two in the future. It's definitely a fun time to be a linux system administrator for sure.
19:09.31fugue88Yeah, good ideas in both, to be sure.
19:10.56herloLately, I've been thinkgin about how amazing this world is with technology and what it would be like without it all. How far we have come and what conveniences we have because people came up with these awesome ideas!
