I like a lot of the stuff that Lennart does but I don't believe that he should have free reign to do what the gently caress ever otherwise I'm going to wake up one day with btrfs rammed up my dick and no way to do anything about it if I want no part of that bullshit.

The dude has (perhaps justifiably) a siege mentality after the shitshow that was systemd. Systemd won though, and Devuan seems to have hoovered up most of the dissenters so they can repaint their leaky-roofed bikeshed in their own little corner to their hearts' content. He doesn't need to go full tyrant on this one.

Trying to ram kdbus upstream by forcing the ABI into systemd builds only to abandon kdbus utterly two months later was a rather poor move, for instance. It's going to win him even fewer friends on LKML.

i think the 2nd best desktop unix, fedora, uses systemd. it seems to work really well even though i'm not sure what it does. i don't see why people have a problem with it. devuan is a dumb name and its pretty disrepectful to both deb and ian, imho.

before systemd it was pulseaudio

before pulseaudio it was avahi

lennart has built his career on "my way or the highway" software projects. also dbus. so much dbus.

setting up Avahi on my first RPi a few years back was so painful

one of the things I was pleased to discover in the Yocto distribution that came with my Edison is that it uses mDNSResponder rather than Avahi to implement Zeroconf

why use the weird overly-complicated knockoff when you can just use the original?

(the same goes for DBus and systemd versus Mach IPC and launchd, of course)

mdnsresponder is really gross code inside, which is why it didn't catch on.

among other things, if you go download the source tarball, it doesn't use autotools or anything. instead it has a separate directory for every "supported" platform. which may or may not have been updated with the changes from the other platforms.

does this do anything that adding hosts in my local ssh conf doesn't?

usually anything i regularly ssh into is already in my conf together with pubkey auth, so i just do
$ ssh mc
for my media computer

it happens automatically without you having to editing a configuration file, which is generally considered a good thing in non-neckbeard circles

it also works properly even if you have a horrible router that ignores dhcp hostnames and dishes out random ip addresses or other poo poo that breaks any static configuration file based solution

microsoft, 100% legit truth, poisoned the well by getting powershell right, making it impossible for the linux crowd to admit that adding proper typing, objects in pipes, and an sql-like syntax for pipelines, is the entirely correct route

so, yeah, powershell is the current hipste

it's not just ssh, it happens at the dns level so web servers, print servers, etc will also all magically have the right hostnames with no further configuration

in fact that's the answer i should have given, nothign but ssh looks at your ~/.ssh/config so it's more comparable to editing /etc/hosts

It can't seem to do UPnP at all, or at least neither of us has found the option to turn it on.

Manually setting up a port forward requires a 1+ minute long reboot for it to take effect, so Apple AirPort Time Capsule products are officially worse at port forwarding than the shittiest ASUS router you can buy.

If you plug an Ethernet cable into it then it takes a long time to notice that anything has been plugged in. WiFi is all well and good but not when you live in the middle of Manhattan and even the 5GHz band is congested to poo poo.

IPv6 is hella unreliable in general and you have to turn off the inbound IPv6 firewall to make it better.
