What even is OpenStack? I keep seeing it and cloud at the same time, but other than that I genuinely can't find out what it is.

openstack is actually good and i like it. it seems like a very well organized and supported project.

you install openstack services on a bunch of servers and it turns them into a lovely ec2

It's a clone of AWS, but the lawyers can't let you say "clone of AWS" so you get a lovely set of buzzwords instead.

probably not, because it would be terrible if someone who will never use linux somehow found themselves using a linux and accidentally pressed alt+sysrq+b.

/etc/sysctl.d/10-magic-sysrq.conf posted:

# The magic SysRq key enables certain keyboard combinations to be
# interpreted by the kernel to help with debugging. The kernel will respond
# to these keys regardless of the current running applications.
#
# In general, the magic SysRq key is not needed for the average Ubuntu
# system, and having it enabled by default can lead to security issues on
# the console such as being able to dump memory or to kill arbitrary
# processes including the running screen lock.
#
# Here is the list of possible values:
# 0 - disable sysrq completely
# 1 - enable all functions of sysrq
# >1 - enable certain functions by adding up the following values:
# 2 - enable control of console logging level
# 4 - enable control of keyboard (SAK, unraw)
# 8 - enable debugging dumps of processes etc.
# 16 - enable sync command
# 32 - enable remount read-only
# 64 - enable signalling of processes (term, kill, oom-kill)
# 128 - allow reboot/poweroff
# 256 - allow nicing of all RT tasks
#
# For example, to enable both control of console logging level and
# debugging dumps of processes: kernel.sysrq = 10
#

default value is 176 = allow reboot/poweroff + enable remount read-only + enable sync command

the osx compiler is partly open source partly closed source and separately licensed with a loving click-through license agreement

it is very early-90s special

at least i didn't have to enter a license key or upload a "PAK"

so is installing clang++ too hard or are you just a moron

clang is very nice, and the open source version is both useful and usable and other platforms

apple's clang is proprietary. they have a tree of their own patches. if i want to compile things against apple's sdk i need apple's proprietary compiler and its dumbfuck installation procedure and its separate licensing

it's u the idiot who links code without thinking about the license

lol just lol

except they aren't really doing this and all the DEC VT emulation, ECMA-48, etc is just being reimplemented because all the bug tested stable as poo poo kernel code is worthless and this needs to be in userspace because of reasons. all this effort to support the 0.5% of people who actually use console ttys (as opposed to terminal emulators, or ssh, or what have you) is obviously worthwhile

just lol if you think the kernel tty code is maintainable or bug tested as poo poo

So in conclusion, is systemd good or is it bad? I need a non-nuanced opinion that I can parrot ad nauseam on slashdot, a website that still exists in the year 2014.

Can you even buy osx on its own, I've never checked

Now that you say that though installing osx on my desktop sounds like an amusing project for the weekend, though only having 50gb free makes that iffy
