Of course; it uses Systemd.

It’s SJVN. That’s all you need to know.

He’s no Cringely.

will let

This implies there was a choice. I’d’ve been glad for a “must let” headline.

Even if your spouse does, it’s the same bank account.

It’s totally okay not to sweat this stuff, since there’s never any good in stressing about it.

I like how OP posted a statement as a question, so I know I don’t need to read more.

Remember when conectiva gave us apt-rpm (and it worked so well it’s been used ever since) but RH was like “we need more fucking python because it’s fun to go slow and also completely go unusable when someone manages to upgrade their python” ?

Good times. It was the dumbest thing they did before Systemd.

It’s a hobby: it’s driven by your interests alone.

There’s two things at play, here:

• installing dependencies without checking
• a framework that will allow this

Both are absolutely the fault of the user.

A few years after I quit a job because of a terrible micromanaging blowhard, I was recounting the story to a group …including his brother.

Yay! Now get people to never say ‘app’ when they mean ‘shitty DB web front-end’ .

persay

per se

I respect your opinion I just think it’s a little naive.

Under isos 27002, 90003, 25000, and 9001, and their requirements for software pedigree and sustainability, it’s just best-practice.

Is it ironic that you’re calling best-practice “naive”?

Where’s the Bazel people at?

CI compatible to GitHub actions

Ugh. More yaml?

It’s still yaml shit though.

Based is fetch.

Journalctl | grep -C 10 'foo' was useful for me when I needed to troubleshoot some fstab mount fuckery on boot.

Ha! Remember back when there was no fstab fuckery? Good times. But you have a massive init blob slowly eating other services and replacing them with shitty replicants like this embarrassment (ohai root NFS) and all of us Unix people are chuckling in our reduced-fuckery ‘hell’.

Packer builds the terraformable/openTofuable templates to launch into the hypervisor where chef (eventually mgmtConfig) will manage them from there until they die.

All that is launched by git. Fire and forget. Updates are cronned.

There are no containers. Don’t got time to fuck about. If Systemd wasn’t an absolute embarrassment I’d not worry about updates even as much as I do, which isn’t much aside from the aforementioned cancer.

regularly use windows because we love modding the crap out of all of our favorite games and that’s just not feasible on Linux

Linux isn’t a game.

Policy is not decided by logic and sense, my dude. Sorry you have the same wonks dictating that as I do.
