There is a strange defensiveness around criticism of #systemd I really struggle to understand.
Things that aren't there anymore. A SAA 747-400 and the LHR perimeter road that passed through the maintenance hangars.
These birds would arrive in the morning, then be towed to eastern end of the field to wait for their evening flight back to South Africa.

AERC Recycling Solutions are selling ThinkPad T440s machines for around $175 shipped. They don't come with a power adapter or SSD/HDD though.
Finally finished Series 6 of Engrenages and am feeling a bit bereft. Hopefully the Series 7 will be with us soon.

Also, some problems I've had with Tracker on Gnome3 have been exacerbated by a selling point of #systemd, namely automatic service restarting.
As has been written by many, this is not a desirable feature if your service is so broken it compromises uptime.
I loved @VoidLinux on my old Lenovo X201, before that laptop shuffled off its mortal coil.
I think I may install it on my daily driver, such is my disillusion with Fedora, the purpose of which was to keep a hand in leading edge desktop Linux. The problem is, it's started to frustrate. Largely down to Gnome3, but that was the point of the exercise...

The main build server has been replaced. Please welcome http://a-hel-fi.m.voidlinux.org in our fleet and be amazed by the non-sucking build times on glibc. 😉
My weekly reminded that Gnome3's tracker is a massive pile of shit

From Scott Manley on birdsite.
"CTO Of Vizio confirms that Data collection in Smart TV's is now offsetting the cost of the hardware to the point that a non-Smart TV would have a higher price tag. Just like android phones, user data is used to reduce costs and stay competitive."
That's so gross. #infosec

When up & down are two buttons on a touchscreen, right next to each other. Ouch:
Thunderstorms...in January? Okay.
Gnome3's reliability has absolutely tanked recently. Tracker in particular is a troublesome piece of shit.
There is no excuse for shitty housekeeping processes to run away and crash the whole OS. None.

the delta boarding taxonomy is some real celestial emporium shit. pre-boarding, families, active military, first class, gold medallion, silver medallion, tungsten sphere, SKY, unaccompanied children, accompanied children, zone 1, anyone named "larry," zone √2, zone 2, et cetera, zone 3, people who have already boarded, minor and outlying zones
UPS Quantum View now requiring registration for viewing tracking numbers, which is irritating.

it seems like encryption is hacky authorization a lot of times. an authorization policy clearly states who can access what information and when. it enforces the policy with multiple mechanisms, including encryption. ideally, it also detects and alerts when the policy is violated.
when a service brags about encrypting stuff, what they're saying to me is that they've done the bare minimum to start keeping people from looking at stuff they shouldn't be. hacky.
