Iirc Wsl 1 was also just a byproduct of MS developing and cancelling a system call compatibility layer intended for running android apps on windows phones

nope that's still being developed. if you're running windows 11 you can use the android subsystem

also it's been a really long time but i'm pretty sure interix used ELF binaries, so there had to be kernel support for them back then too

lol welp. only comment i have here is that i think WSL1 is still being actively developed? it at least was an option not too long ago

ah maybe i've never used it. looks like it only dates back to 2017 so i figure they found out pretty quickly that their approach was just going to be chasing corner cases forever. maybe they can hire some freebsd developers to help 'em out, looks they're still working on linux(4)

the NT kernel doesn't even have support for PE binaries, why would it support ELF binaries?

no, its microkernely enough that processes assemble other processes in userspace

not microkernely enough to parse and render TrueType fonts in userspace, though, lol

I for one can't believe Linux made it for almost 20 years on what was essentially a glorified version of AUTOEXEC.BAT :lol:

hate to break it to you but virtually every minicomputer multiprocessing system ran scripts in their respective native command language after their kernel started or image was loaded and used those to manage startup of subsystems using separate processes

this is really an early 1960s operating system concept that’s still in use today, like time-sliced timesharing, memory protection, virtual memory, and virtualization as a whole

(structured programming got off the ground in the same era)

Yeah, the reason why rc scripts are called that is because it's short for RUNCOM, a facility implemented in CTSS in the early 1960s - and so far as I remember, it was added to run commands automatically on system start-up.

Another 60s thing that's slowly making a comeback in Unix is real (not POSIX) hardware-enforced capabilities.

any of you linux janitors have a decent "how 2 openstack" and/or "how 2 kubernetes" guide? looking at applying on a job where they use both to some extent

normally I wouldn't go learn a handful of new techs for a job application and possible interview, but it'd be a 30% raise and is a union gig at a university, so y'know

I read the upstream docs from the kubernetes project, they seem fine. Make sure you don't ever use Helm for anything because it is poo poo from an rear end.

If you want to actually deploy a new cluster in prod then that is a different matter.

on that note I'm happy to report that most of the kde packages in fedora rawhide have been updated to plasma 6 and I'm now daily driving it

the worst bug I have encountered so far is that the extract/compress menu options have disappeared from the file manager's right click menu, which is not exactly a devastating issue

Debian is bad, don’t use Debian. I don’t know if this was a “Debian loving around with source code” bug or a legit kernel bug.

If it’s the former: LOL.
If it’s the later: I hope new Torvalds relapses for a bit and tears the heads off of whoever merged that poo poo code.

it has a link to lkml discussion and it sounds like it's not debian's fault, my vague and probably wrong impression is they introduced some new kernel feature that multiple fs drivers needed to be updated for, and ext4's implementation came with a subtle bug

supposedly he doesn't do that sort of stuff any more after he did drugs or CBT or whatever back in 2018

https://www.zdnet.com/article/linus-torvalds-on-state-of-linux-today-and-how-ai-figures-in-its-future/ posted:

Now for Torvalds, "being there all the time is not a problem because I love doing what I'm doing. I was on vacation a few months ago, and I have my laptop. And if I hadn't had my laptop with me, I would have been so bored. It is what I do. But I realized that's not the life for everybody, especially when you have to put years of your life into this."

It's also something Torvalds has had to learn to be better at as well. "Code is easy to write. You have a right answer, and you have a wrong. People relationships are hard, and being able to work with other developers and maintainers, especially when you have maintainers that work on different things with different goals. They want to push their area in one direction, and another maintainer comes in from another area and wants to pull it in another direction. It can be very stressful."

In 2018, Torvalds decided to pull back from his angry young man stance. He took a break from the Linux kernel to work on his behavior toward other developers. After he got a handle on it, Torvalds returned to the kernel. He's been much more mild-tempered since then. As he mentioned in Tokyo, he won't be "giving some company the finger. I learned my lesson."

To sum it up, Torvalds said, "It's one of those things where a lot of people seem to think that open source is all about programming, but a lot of it is about communication, too. Maintainers are the ones who translate. I don't necessarily mean language. I mean, the context, the reason for the code. That makes for a tough job. But, if you want to be a maintainer, trust me, there's room at the top."
