@icedquinn oh yeah, udev functionality is cool too, from what I see runit only sets up things once and doesn't respond to changes. So I'd have to install something that does that. I assume there's a lot of other "bloated" systemd functionality that is quite useful and installing separate tools to do all of them so that they don't have to be coupled with the pid 1 would exceed the bug surface.

@Palleas @b0rk that's why the "usually" clause is there I assume

@icedquinn I think I count as people and I expect PID 1 to not just start stuff but also monitor it and make it available under a consistent API and consistent logs, so that I can use it to control the system instead of babysitting every single daemon their own way.

From what I can tell trying to muh unix philosophy to split it into different services that still do those things instead of falling back into bad ol' anarchy would just require a few different services that have the same basically infinite permissions and accomplish the same thing but with more bloat, attack surface and weird shit.

I guess if you prefer the anarchy disliking it makes sense tho.

@icedquinn if this level of unfathomably based requires systemd I'll happily accept systemd. Besides, I still haven't heard sensible arguments against it, only variations of "but it enforces a sensible API", "but it uses 5M of memory, that's way too much" or "but there's a bunch of related tools you can optionally also install so systemd itself is bloated "

@icedquinn nixos itself is the better gentoo tbh

@icedquinn skype probably deserved to be called a finely crafted desktop program those 15 years ago when it wasn’t yet bought by the likes of MS and enshittified, and didn’t yet have sensible competition. From what I remember about using it like 8 years ago it was already buggy and very annoying back then.

@BrodieOnLinux having it build for 4 hours just to restore those parts of the config and have it rebuild for another 4 hours was the cherry on top, great system.

@BrodieOnLinux my favourite moment when installing Gentoo for the first time was when I carefully configured the USE flags to fit what I want, got thrown into the deepest circles of dependency hell and after painstakingly trying to solve it learned that you first have to build it without USE flags and only then configure it because apparently after all those decades Portage is still too stupid to resolve dependency issues like “package A needs package B only due to a USE flag and vice versa gee I wonder how I could solve that problem”.

how is front-end so cursed?

@freemo good analogy, since in the household despite everyone sharing things the "ruling class" of parents has 100% of the ruling and resource distributing power and if they are bad at it the children can do nothing but suffer.

Funny and very good express course to pronouncing written Polish. You might not be able to immediately pronounce it well, but after this video you will know how any given written Polish word or sentence should sound. And I mean it, it may be 10 minutes long, but it contains 99+% of knowledge needed to pronounce the entirety of the language.

Also the shade on English letters is 100% deserved lol
