There can’t be single obvious green path for a lot of complex things and most of the things that we do on computers actually are complex like that. I would think that user friendliness is more of an indicator of a sane default behaviour or something that people already are taught to expect. Balancing that is even harder i think.

Now is like 10 years if not more, no?

They actually don’t but it is the way programs are installed on gentoo by default.

How fast is it, really? How do you differentiate between topics?

They’ll fold immediately no? ‘Der totale Widerstand’ books are interesting to read tho.

AI companies Hardware companies are looking for their record profits and AI is just a useful excuse.

Op actually writes about systemd-ssh-generaror which does exactly what they describe it’s just not a whole story or it won’t be this inflammatory (or interesting at all).

systemd-ssh-generator — Generator for binding a socket-activated SSH server to local AF_VSOCK and AF_UNIX sockets

Wow, that’s incredibly cool!

Interesting, I’ve worked on car infotainment system for a short while, it was based on yocto, I think, and it was build with systemd support, tbh not once developers had a problem with resources on that thing, a lot of problems were with safety and regulatory requirements.

Before that I had an experience with wind river based system for network appliance and there were no systemd but that was when systemd was still a new thing.

Modern hardware is extremely powerful and has a lot of resources, I think there is some project that runs more or less standard linux on esp32.

PS3 was great and had a lot of interesting and unique games.

That’s pretty niche use-case devices that can run linux but at the same tume limited enough that systemd is the bottleneck. I do get it that running systemd on some embedded devices makes little sense.

Systemd has stable API so nothing stops other systems from implementing parts of it that interest them, thing is, *bsds aren’t interested or resource constrained so much that they can’t.

How exactly is it controlled by Red Hat? Having systemd is a massive blessing for linux distributions that use it and for absolute majority of users.

I know what uv is, also never felt the need for package manager do a lot more. Just not my use case, pip + pipx is enough for me. I do develop in python but I’m trying to do it as tidy as possible without any or minimal external deps due to environment constraints, maybe for web dev or other fields where there is a need to install billion external libraries and multiple versions of them uv is a right choice, who knows. Personally I would prefer first party tool.

I’m not blaming cargo specifically for building it is slow to download deps as well, which was clearly stated in my first post. I’m going to edit it now.

Pip is a sane default that works for absolute majority of cases, anyway correct tool for installing programs from pypi is pipx that eliminates ‘dependency hell’, but ofc new cool tool is the only way to do things.

When little program in rust that replaced previous one compiles two hours compared to previous that compiled in a few minutes it matters.

Maybe they just set it up that way, I think there is an option for this behaviour.

I’m not enthusiastic about it, I’m just old enough to remeber how bad were good old times before systemd and a bit miffed how old and untrue statements about it are perpetuated.

Poorly how? Really I can’t remeber any time that it failed me in any way.

You are forced to use a lot of things bit systemd is where you draw a line? 😺
