So the proposal is an attempt to force volunteers to do something they do not care doing by themselves? That sounds like a solid plan and will surly result in well working support for non-systemd unit systems.
What could possibly go wrong with that plan?
Yeap, the indexing in the journald files does increase the file size. That does speed up searches though, so it does have its advantage.
But systemd also logs a lot more than syslog ever could. This includes a lot of meta data (e.g. systems unit that started a process, cryptographic hash) for each entry as well as more entries (e.g. stdout and stderr from all daemons).
What does systemd make worse?
I can e.g. restrict services far more effectively since I switched my machines to systemd. I really appreciate that. I also find the socket activation really convenient and am really happy to be rid of that horrible crontab syntax. Networkd works like a charm and debugging became so much easier since the log output is finally complete.
So far I have yet to find anything I miss from sysv unit.
That is indeed not posible: systems logs stuff that is not accessible to syslog (e.g. stdout and stderr of all processes run by systemd, output geerated before/after syslogd is up, etc.) and needs journald as some kind of internal interface to pass all that information on.
Why journald?
Because systemd logs stuff that is not accessible to syslog and thus needs an interface to buffer (e.g. before syslog is up) and forward that information to syslog.
That system grew up to handle most of the things syslog also does. So syslog was made optional, so that small systems have one less service that they need to run.
Send like a sensible decision to me.
The complexity of systemd is in stand-alone executables running inseverly restricted environments (no access to
This is especially true considering that the systems complexity is also running as separate, far less restricted services on non systemd systems (e.g. cron, xinetd, nwtpd, etc.).
That actually is a pretty good description of how systemd handles this.
Whichh sane ternatives to pulseaudio are you referring to?
How should that work? You need cgrouo support in the init system for that. Do you seriously think that is ever going to be added to sysv init?
Having some external process managing cgroups for init itself can not work, except by having init start the cgroup manager and then having that start everything else.
It gets better in Season 2.
The thing I loved about Arrow is how real it is. It's the only superhero movie or show I have seen in which the hero comes right out of the gate killing everyone he battles. None of this "letting them live" nonsense. This changes in the later seasons but it gave the character a much more realistic story arc, and made the show a lot more gritty.
DC does a lot better with TV than film. Consider
- Smallville was a huge success, very long run
- Arrow has been renewed twice, has a good audience and is doing very well
- The Flash looks like it has legs
- Gotham is getting rave reviews and looks like it has legs as well
Now let's look at their last couple of films:
- Man of Steel - OK this wasn't that bad
- Green Lantern - horrible
- Watchmen - Good movie but flopped
- Jonah Hex - Did anyone even know this movie came out?
- Superman Returns - horrible
The only saving grace has been the Nolan Batman films.
The thing people seem to forget is the Apple is a corperation and thus cares about profit over all else.
If the government asks Apple to do something outside it's legal bounds, that will cost Apple a lot of money, Apple will tell the government to F off. They won't just bend over and spend hundreds of millions of dollars installing backdoors on phones because the FBI asked nice.
This is the main reason Microsoft, Apple, and Google fight NSLs so much and it is the hidden motive behind recent moves to always-on encryption - it will be a huge cost saver to them.
Couple of things
a) A national security letter is not a "warrant". It is not even close to the same thing
b) Even a national security letter can't be used to tell Apple or anyone else to install some kind of backdoor on a device. The most a national security letter could do is authorize a wiretap on the device and all it's communication flows inbound and outbound. This is not even close to the same thing. An NSL can be sent to Apple telling it to give the FBI all information it has. If Apple does not have any information, that is the end of the scope of an NSL.
No matter how strong the encryption algorithms are themselves, there's nothing to stop the FBI from planting a malicious app (a keylogger for instance). They could even serve Apple with a warrant to require them to install this app as a software update.
Umm... you need to learn how warrants work.
This comment got modded to 3???
.... this is Michigan you are talking about. Ford, Chrysler, and GM country.
You can be it is them and their dollars doing this, and it would be happening regardless of what party was in power.
One way to make your old car run better is to look up the price of a new model.
