@terdon Even the latest one bad episode, I just engaged because it was "I am a super pro, just need you to tell me how to setup a base installation" ;) There is a pattern there.... But thanks for keeping it up with me.
@terdon Well, if you want a moderator editor count me in...almost 9k edits fixing trivial stuff. (kidding, do not want diamonds next to old threads dissing users)
If you mean the meta post, then yes. If you can formulate what you want to say as a question that you would like candidates to answer, then yes, please do.
Yeah, @Tim I deleted your comment. First because it was making claims that were unsubstantiated and irrelevant about other sites' mods, and second because it wasn't relevant to the post. If you have a question you would like mod candidates to answer, then post that.
@Tim your entire premise is completely false. Mods are not in charge of how the site works. Your objections are objections to the entire SE model, not to particular mods. And throwing accusations around like "long histories of abusing mod power" and "extreme conservatives" is really not cool.
Honestly I think Tim is not the best person to complain much about censorship considering the quality and number of question we see here. But he is free to continue posting them as we are. But hey, Nobody is perfect, me included.
Btw, talking about Magalhães there has been stress in diplomatic relationships with Spain in Portugal over Magalhães vs Elcano....(commemorations of x years I think)
But with Debian, it's just extremely hard to find maintainers, let alone competent maintainers. So I suppose the project thinks it's better not to rock the boat.
And I haven't been paying much attention in recent years, but I've never seen much discussion about it. But it's generally a sore point in a lot of cases.
@FaheemMitha I also feel more at ease nowadays with certain aspects of Debian or Linux
@FaheemMitha Well, I maintained a FreeRadius "cluster" for 2.5K daily users, 20K tops, and kept the manual/book/training for all faculties here in PT. So it would be easier, I think.
@FaheemMitha Well they decided without consulting anyone of change that could have major impact and they have put in production a piece of software that is in itself almost a OS over linux kernel and IMO it's not stable yet
@RuiFRibeiro Well if you change major release version you shouldn't have regression, while it happen like a lot if I remind at the beginning it was almost all systemd update on ubuntu or debian screw something
@Kiwy From today on, we declare Apache and NGinx too old and complex to maintain. We will all be using netcat for serving HTTP files. We will add features over time ;-P
He couldn't have just left the existing sysvinit scripts in place? They're buggy, so he pulls them in a middle of a release with no replacement? Am I getting this right?
@RuiFRibeiro I get the point but they did not replace init, they replace a shit ton loads of stuff all over the place. And I reasonnably do not understand why or how create such a huge piece of software to replace what was a simple system
and politics and RH indeed had some game to play there
@RuiFRibeiro Of course not and I could try to get rid of it. However I believe in change and give it a try and it was a pain a huge pain, it's a bit better now they are more stable in there basic functions
I also have heard in the newer releases of RH network manager cannot be disabled easily. Why is that, because too many people is disabling it in servers? ;-P
@Kiwy I have not said I do not believe in change, I believe in keeping my choices. If I want to drive a Volvo Or BMW, it is up to me. Not being decreed I have to drive a Lugo.
Why Dbus wiki mention "in Linux and Unix-like operating systems libdbus typically uses Unix domain sockets"? Is the underlying IPC mechanism used in D-Bus depends on OS?
@Kiwy It was self-inflicted: he didn't know that a Linux system has a localhost and that the client connects to the server on the same machine on 127.0.0.1...
Well panic attack do not last for several weeks. it was a clear paranoia. I mean saying that your ex step father was hacking him and hire a team to harrass him all day long
I mean it's not impossible, but A it would be just one the worst human on planet earth that ever existed, B it would have cost sooooo much money
