  • Surge in Systemd forks after the latest changes

    Jump

  • Sure, if you choose a distro like Artix that doesn't use systemd, then yes. However, the major distros use systemd and will continue to do so because it is a critical component of Linux. Once the Linux kernel has finished loading into memory, systemd takes over in user space. Major distros cannot simply switch to a fork on a whim because they need to be completely sure that it is stable and will not cause any compatibility issues.

    Let's not forget that Ubuntu, SUSE and Red Hat are used in professional settings, so they won't change to a fork.

  • Surge in Systemd forks after the latest changes

    Jump

  • Let's be realistic. All these forks will get us nowhere because systemd has become a platform on which major components of the Linux system depend. KDE's new login depends on systemd, as does Gnome.

    These forks are just a reaction to the latest addition. They will fizzle out.

  • Microsoft announces sweeping Windows changes - but no apologies

  • I believe the MacBook Neo was a real wake-up call for management. Apple dominates the high-budget market. Now that Apple has entered the low-budget market, it could threaten their market share, as well as Copilot's.

  • Claude Code deletes developers' production setup, including its database and snapshots — 2.5 years of records were nuked in an instant

    Jump

  • Given that the infrastructure description included the DataTalks.Club website, this resulted in a full wipe of the setup for both sites, including a database with 2.5 years of records, and database snapshots that Grigorev had counted on as backups. The operator had to contact Amazon Business support, which helped restore the data within about a day.

    sigh, SNAPSHOTS ARE NOT BACKUPS!

  • I don't think running Caddy in a container is needed. All my apps are docker images and Caddy is a system app. I treated as an important OS app.

  • This is an American mentality. In other parts of the world, they let kids be kids. They let them be. They're human beings, whether the child is autistic or not.

    Shocking them is torture.

  • I'm running KDE Wayland on an AMD 9070 XT video card and I've absolutely no problem. Perhaps it's your system because Wayland has been heaven. Linux is finally a modern OS.

  • As a Canadian, I won't be travelling to the Republic of Gilead anytime soon. That country is becoming worse by the minute.

    And since Americans think I'm Latino (I'm not), I don't want to be shipped to El Salvador.

  • Discord gets improvements for video on Linux PCs and Steam Deck

    Jump

  • As the other said, what are the alternatives? All my gaming friends are on Discord. I tried to make them switch to another platform but they won't budge. I'm stuck with discord.

  • Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene says she's received threats amid deepening feud with Trump

    Jump

  • It's good that she's against Trump. Now that she has been betrayed by MAGA, she will become their biggest opponent.

  • Fox News to Join Other Networks in Rejecting Pete Hegseth’s Pentagon Media ‘Pledge’: Report

    Jump

  • If Fox News is siding with all the other networks, then you know you messed up.

  • Those who don't use dashboards, how are you managing your services?

    Jump 
  •  
        
docker stats

    With that command, I get all the stats I need, no dashboard required.
