I bet you still use glibc instead of systemd-libc, fucking pleb.

It was forced in by red hats influence.

Pottering is literally the donald trump of free software.

Expect donald trump is competent and good and will make america great again. Pottering is incompetent, bad, and is making GNU/Linux worse.

This. I realized this a long time ago, but I already had a whole career built around this shit, so I won't stop using Linux anytime soon.

It's really not a point of no return kind of thing. I contributed to Debian for almost a decade and I'm now working on Visual Studio with Windows 10 improving C# libraries for Microsoft.

The skills are completely transferrable even if the particular knowledge base isn't. And on the brighter side you actually get paid good money to work with the big boys like Microsoft.

>>56797915
I remember the first time I gave into temptation and used VS. I wanted to hate it so badly and jump right back to Emacs with justifiable insight into how the plebs failed, but I just couldn't. MS got it extremely right and I saw that day just how pathetic the FOSS shills were. Literally spreading FUD day in and day out to keep people using shitty text editors instead. Unbelievable.

>>56798036
When you stop to think about it, there is an unbelievably sad amount of try-hard communism in the world today holding us back. Globalized communities are developing world-class software and taking us into the next century better off than ever. Meanwhile throwbacks like Stallman praise communist dictators and racists like Che who would have killed all the diversity that made this possible.

>>56798138
I think they mean well, they just don't know or understand what kind of progress we have made with corporations leading the way. They only see the downsides because they are forcibly removing themselves from our community. Its ideological blindness. Microsoft used to be guilty of this as well but with all of their investment into open source they have really made great strides towards uniting our liberalized global tech communities under one roof.

>>56798203
This. How can I learn about VS, if I have to install Windows first?

VS is pretty great, tbqh.

>>56798228
The first step is installing Windows 10 with bash and acclimating to the wonderful flexibility of having it all. The second step is using VS.

>>56794392

can anyone answer this

no systemd == no wifi?

>>56793633
replace systemd by red hat and you've basically described modern linux

>>56800359
systemd is an init system. has nothing to do with kernel modules or networking stack.

>systemd is an init system.
Wrong. systemd is a red hat umbrella project for core OS functionality. (Hence *system*d and not *init*d)

The init system (PID 1) is a tiny portion of systemd.

Considering the situation a foot controlled while would be bad too:
1) additional variable
2) more nesting
Acctually:
>There is something wrong withe code
When *k is zero the for(...;*k;...) finishes, but then ...&&*k is never TRUE, so the next if block is never reached.
Also OP is a faggot because } missing at eof.

>>56800422
Its a great project IMO. Too much federalization and anarchy are the reason Linux is only used on some servers.

>>56800569
What does the code do though?

>>56800591
Never executing the last ifblock i guess.

>>56800591
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/master/src/core/mount-setup.c

This loop is from a function that apparently
> Mount all available cgroup controllers that are built into the kernel.

If this is in production i seriously must brush up my c, because i still not get it why the block is there. If its executed its bad design or catches some effect from elsewhere and should be documented.

>>56792575
He's the hero Linux deserves

>>56800679
Figured it our, just too early in the morning
If strvt_find sets *k then its executed. k must be at least join_controllers.
> Makes sense, goodcode.

>>56800581
>Its a great project IMO.
Agreed, but only because the alternatives are stale and shitty

>Too much federalization and anarchy are the reason Linux is only used on some servers.
First off, linux is used on basically every server. Servers running windows are the obscure minority here.

Second of all, the reason Linux is fragmented is because Linux is a developer culture, not a user culture. Red Hat is doing their best to monetize Linux, which is in conflict with a developer culture. (You can't monetize a developer culture because users provide the money but developers don't care about users)

If anything, Red Hat is a money culture above all else. They only care about users in as much as users give them money.

>>56795484
>solves "problems" nobody needed to solve,
I'm guessing paying RHEL customers think otherwise.

>>56800860
No just redhat trying to minimise cost, the customer gets a working system whether systemd or not.
Just stuff breaks less, is easier to debug and users make less errors.
Its never directly about the customer satisfaction, its about the customer retention.
Love systemd regardless

Thank goodness some here are making sense.

>>56801073
Seriously though. Lennart is all the reason you need to install Windows. Linux is over, it's just becoming RedhatOS: A shitty Unix-like operating system dominated by systemd and its corporate overlords. All the pretense to transparency is gone now and trust should go with it.

>>56801125
So what? RedHat is based. You have no idea of the engineering acumen of the Poojeets who work on it you 400 lbs hacker.

>>56801149
That kind of racism isn't going to fly under the Clinton administration. Get it all out while you can Trumpster. Too bad your boy lost the debate.

>>56801164
Not according to Michael Moore's Twitter account, goy.

>>56792575
I switched to systemd and I appreciate it.

Pro tip: systemd is almost entirely modular.

>>56801170
I'm not a goy and you're clearly not paying attention if you think he didn't get crushed. Unprofessional sexist shit doesn't win, just like your racism.

God damn there's a fucking punchable face if I ever saw one.

Fucking smug wanker.

As much as I think Poettering is a huge crybaby who writes shitty software, He isn't really wrong about open sauce lunatics. If you're writing death threats and composing songs over a component to an operating system, it might be time to step away and breathe for a second.

>>56792575
i still can't forgive him for not calling the init part of systemd "initiald"

>>56795136
People will talk about the political/Unixphilosophian aspect, which I could care less about. For me, the problem is what a buggy, difficult to troubleshoot mess it is and that its makers would rather accuse the users for doing it wrong rather than acknowledging that everybody suffers from the bug.

>>56792575
Lennart pootering is Redhat's attempt and making a Linux version of Bill Gates, i fucking hate both
