This seems overblown, we’ve faced these things before.

The straightforward path is adding new calls and structs and leaving the old code in place, then having tests that return -1 for time32_t and seeing what breaks.

It’s not pretty, but this is life in the new epoch, gentoo doesn’t have it harder than anyone else except when they’re trying to rebuild while the transition is happening.

I know nobody wants 2 apis, 1 deprecated, but this is an ancient design decision we have to live with, this is how we live with them.

An infected phone app on your wifi can screw you.

Yeah.

My home server runs that many, but it’s a monster dual xeon.

The freebsd instances have a ton of jails, the Linux vms have a ton of lxc and docker containers.

It’s how you run many services without losing your mind.

Yeah, I’m all for the move, but don’t be dicks about interrupting.

Still, right choice otherwise.

I mean, the extension system means we could easily fix it, just deprecate the old paths, use the legacy xlib to set up extensions and write a lighter stack from there. A new input path too and you’re on your way.

It makes things a bit more complicated, but it’s also exactly how x86 managed to stay relevant all these decades, the old macro instructions are all slow microcode and you only use the safe stuff that’s hyper-optimized.

Meanwhile you get the one thing X has: It works.

I mount it manually when I’m sure everything is up.

The issue is, I use this workstation to bring up the rest of my network and servers if they’re down, can’t have a hard dependency on nfs if it’s job is to bring up nfs.

Linus had an epic flame war with the systemd idiots for breaking Linux stupidly: https://igurublog.wordpress.com/2014/04/03/tso-and-linus-and-the-impotent-rage-against-systemd/

He didn’t do anything because he made it clear he owned the kernel and userspace was someone else’s problem, but also that the systemd guys were absolute morons who were a danger to themselves and everyone else.

Jesus, I mount everything manually from noauto, except root.

If nfs isn’t available, I don’t want my system to hang, typing mount takes 2 seconds.

Rust zealots are on an unstoppable jihad.

Expecting suicide fork bombers any day now.

Yeah sorry, c/c++ guy here.

I get that rust is the new shiny.

But now it means changing any potentially bound c function means I need to be fluent in a language I barely heard of before this year and has a syntax that makes c# look normal.

So, how about no?

Wtf man, I never even pushed that shit upstream!?

Hush, the accountants promised they’d fall for it!

2 things:

1. It’s more the determinacy, a GC randomly fires up and your systems stops for some long amount of time. There are pauseless GCs but that’s a different nightmare.

2. The kernel has things similar to GCs. They’re used for more specialized tasks, and some (like rcu) are absolute nightmares that have take decades to get working.

Trump’s coin dropped already.

Same.

I used the pine book pro for a bit, it was completely viable as a wifi terminal.

But the pinephone is still just more of a cute toy

You need to find the magic smoke and push it back in, hurry!

It used to be really outdated and missing new applications, with a kernel 1 major version behind.

All that is fixed, they even have good support for new architectures like riscv on par with Ubuntu.

God that’s painfully me.

Except I moved to lxc and zfs with homebrew scripts for most now, pass containers around the network like candy, including an arch lutris one.

Wow, this escalated quickly.
