  • Sysv didn't have to have a lot of documentation. It was simple to understand what it did, and the underlying system was mostly shell scripting. It didn't try to be and do everything.

    I don't hate systemd. I prefer it now for the most part. I really do think Lennart Poettering is incredibly skilled and intelligent. I am just frustrated that so much gets pushed without adequate resources and support to weigh what is production-ready, and what is bleeding edge. I've already had systemd bite me in the ass at least once where they made a significant unannounced change to systemd-cryptsetup. I had to go find answers by reading through pull request and GitHub issue comments, and it wasn't easy to find either. The community acted like it wasn't a big deal that it caused systems to no longer boot. Move fast & break things isn't the message that will win over larger companies.

  • There is at least one outspoken challenger that I know of. She should hopefully be starting some live interviews today on news networks. If she's like Biden and stays hidden unless there is a teleprompter and has her team silence anyone else, she's toast too. She was also running cover and part of the team shielding Biden which is what put us in this predicament. If she intends to beat Trump, she needs to come out and start speaking about how she is different. The further she can distance herself from Biden altogether, the better.

  • Lennart Poettering is no doubt smart, but learning all the ins and outs of systemd with terrible documentation and half-baked solutions, and just "trusting" it to do everything from UEFI booting, immutable partitions, system imaging, networking, home directory and resource management, init and daemon processes, sockets, etc. using "INI-like" files... hmm, I'd almost prefer another global outage.

  • People on the couch are the undecided voters. The more Democrats call them idiots, the less incentive they have to vote for whoever the Democrat nominee is.

  • We haven't heard Kamala debate. She was not very popular in 2020. Sometimes she comes across as cringey and foolish. I wish people would stop acting like she should be coronated. She needs to prove herself before being the nominee. Just handing everything to her on a silver plater isn't going to get the response Democrats are hoping for.

  • This precisely. He was hurting the Democrats. The time to reflect about Biden is after beating Trump in November. The more time Democrats spend praising Biden now, the more they are going to hurt their chances of victory.

  • He may very well. I hope that he challenges Harris and that they have a couple debates or make their arguments on a livestream. That would be good for America to hear their platforms and share their opinions about who they think the stronger candidate is.

  • The boat hasn't sailed. I'm calling it now. If they coronate Harris without any process to show she's earned it. If they ignore voices of alternatives and just hand it to her thinking black people will vote for her just cause of her skin color & women will vote for her just because of her gender, then their plan is to have Harris lose & blame the 66% of voters that said he should step aside.

  • Rightfully so.. if the DNC thinks just changing the face but acting the same they did in 2016 and what got them to Biden having to drop out, then they'll lose again... and they'll do what they always do, blame their own voters -- the 66%+ that said Biden should step aside.

  • You're not going to beat Trump but handing the nomination to Kamala. She needs to earn it & if there are challengers then she needs to show she is a stronger candidate.

  • he didn't have to do it?

    Really? Is democracy on the line or isn't it? He had to do it cause he was going to lose to Trump and throw the House & Senate to MAGA. Biden doesn't have to not push the nuclear launch buttons before he leaves office. Yay Joe, you are so selfless for not pushing the nuclear launch buttons. You could have, but major props for being so selfless for not doing it.

  • I'm surprised they aren't saying she's a slut like most of the Trump supporters are on Twitter right now. This is what Democrats need... A candidate that brings out the worst in the Republican party. They should "leak" that AOC is a top VP choice.

  • I'm still really grateful that he did it and listened. This is a big and positive shift.

  • No, no deadlines have passed. Ohio extended the deadline already. An open convention will energize the party. Biden not stepping aside was the last thing holding Democrats back from crushing Trump in November.

  • Let's rewrite everything in Rust. That'll surely solve the world's problems.

  • Biden was giving Trump the White House for free. Joe should have dropped out two weeks ago when it was obvious he was going to lose to Trump.

  • I can almost guarantee with it being the top story on all major news sites that they've received some confirmation. If not when majority of Democrats wanted him to drop out, if he insists he was hacked & is staying in.. He'll lose even more voters.

  • Don't know yet. Still trying to read what was said. I hope they leave it open to the delegates to decide at the convention.

  • This is breaking news. I would have preferred a different site.

  • I wonder how you’re supposed to get PXE boot to work securely over the internet.

    PXE boot is more of last resort IMO, but can be uses as a chainloader to a more secure option. The biggest challenge I could see security-wise is having PXE boot being ran on unsecured networks. Even then though, normally a computer will have been provisioned on a secure network and will have encryption and secure boot-based encryption, and some additional signature-based image verification.
