Don't forget to keep repeating this for every update, too. Hope you don't have a life/day job...

You can disable it... until they disable those options in the name of "cleaning the UI". Then you're hosed.

Eh? You haven't heard of FAR? That thing was an essential mod for a long while now. Squad simply officialized it, as far as I know.

I would respectfully disagree. The old "aerodynamics" was only bearable because people ignored it completely, building oversized rockets with TWRs in excess of 3-4 and launching into space at ridiculous speeds. SSTOs are no longer a dead concept either, for example.

Not even relatively simple CSS rules work uniformly across browsers. What makes you think they'll properly handle VOIP calls? I'd bet my hat that a Firefox user will more than likely need to call another Firefox user to not run into issues.

Doing everything from Firefox is just settling into another walled garden. Try again.

Firefox has been constantly losing marketshare for a long while now. As for dealing with feedback, Mozilla's preferred solution has been to throw a middle finger to the users.

Ad hominem much? I manage servers, I know what I'm doing, thank you.

I used LLVM but I've used my primary drive for system and the secondary on /mnt/data (it's a hotpluggable SATA drive). Removing the inconsequential data drive still breaks the whole system, which is patently hilarious.

I have installed openSUSE onto my laptop. Then I removed my secondary HDD, and voila, fstab thusly broke. Which made systemd throw a fit, constantly forcing an emergency mode - which was, in turn, bugged (systemd launches two shells on the same terminal, so everything becomes garbled). I was left with no option but to boot from a fricking rescue DVD.

At that point, I have deduced that the logical conclusion was popping my Win7 DVD back in.

Interestingly enough, server-grade Linux OSes we use (SLES, SUSE) don't seem to exhibit this behaviour. Still, that matters little for when I can't use them.

I dunno, I found debugging kinda difficult when the default shipping systemd utterly breaks emergency mode (launching 2 shells that are competing for input/output).

I've also seen a test server lose the binary logs COMPLETELY when the power was cut. We had to read the good 'ol /var/log/messages, but that's clearly not the systemd way, is it now?

A truly unexpected shutdown (kernel panic or hardware fault) can leave systemd log files so corrupt you can't grab anything meaningful from them.

As for text files, they are obviously just backwards-compatibility junks left in so the old crowd doesn't get too noisy. I mean, binary format is the future and should be embraced any any non-reactionary admin, amirite?

At this point, I really doubt there will be any Linux distros left untouched by systemd.

Do you often need to check PostgreSQL data files when your system had unexpectedly crashed?

So I can run timedated without systemd around? Oh, no? Well, I guess they aren't just a bunch of little utilities, then. You can check your own sources, thank you.

Personally, I'm not THAT thrilled; I'm more interested in AR than VR. As for the imporvement: it would've happened, sooner or later. Technology marches on, etc, etc.

Oh, and I loathe facebook. DK lost any appeal to me when they sold out.
