    Dood. Boot times are useless ‘flex’ metrics more influenced by processor and disk speed than init systems. My el5 and el6 archive systems boot faster than my el7 ELS system, which itself is faster than el9; but not by enough to matter when you’re booting every week to a month. It’s never BEEN an issue.

    Compare complexity: Has your init system metastasized over the entire host and re-implemented (poorly) other core systems, so long-dependable features just simply don’t work, and everything has its own rinky-dink silly-walk to configure instead of /etc/fstab or /etc/exports, instead of staying in its lane? No? You’re good. Diversity and specialization will give you excellent results and security. Yes? You have systemd.

    There’s your comparison.
















  • Hard works were valuated.

    Hard work was valued

    … a huge company. The less I work, the more I’m paid…

    I’m sorry if you’re in a position where laziness is either overlooked or tolerated. The concern is, although you may think you’re getting away with it and are living an easier life, you are part of a very visible 3% at any workplace, no matter the size or type of business; and even if you do not notice it, your peers will notice you if you are not doing your part, and it will affect your experience as you are either shunned or corrected, even if you’re protected from job loss.

    And once you lose this job, you may lack the proper work ethic to allow you to succeed through a probation period at the next. And you’re not getting younger, and after 45-50 getting the next job gets harder and harder due to ageism.

    You want to find a reason to get a better work ethic. You need to learn why your work ethic is not a reflection on your workplace or society or labour movement membership but a reflection you that you will carry forever. You’re 40, though, and if you haven’t learned why that’s important the. I can only wish you luck in the years ahead.

    I’ve worked in labour unions and cruel dotcoms, and I will tell you I’ve seen the same results for indolence and laziness, and there’s ultimately no safe place to not do your part forever.


  • There is an important requirement toward assimilation into laws and some freedoms, I think, and I would love to see incoming refugees and migrants find a way to preserve their own beliefs while understanding where it doesn’t match the belief structure of their new country and ready to work within the new environment.

    This means very careful face-covering regs that respect religious demands on women but understands legal requirements for very discreet identification by ‘approved’ state reps – and provides both education around it for everyone and people ready to bridge that gap.

    And it also means better education around fraud and the freedom and responsibility to report it. And yes, I think that people mirating on a provisional basis - temporary/new status - need to know that their new countries don’t accept the cut corners with a pay-out, that that it’s our responsibility to report that stuff as proper citizens.

    And yes, crime should remove the privileges of a temporary resident status. It’s well-shown that immigrants are the most law-abiding people, on average, so this won’t be a huge problem, but those who slip through the cracks can’t stay and earn permanent status like that.

    But it’s nuanced. We need to deal with the hate toward immigration so it doesn’t colour every interaction with refugees and migrants, and cause low-key distrust toward wonderful people. That’s essentially racism, and it’s not cool. I think we can let in people who like their new country and its rights and freedoms, while gently redirecting the people who can’t assimilate properly where it matters (laws and rights, not directly religious and cultural). Some people are not a good fit to some host countries, and that needs to be assessed on a case basis, lest they indirectly germinate racism by their very discordant presence.

    Unleash the downvotes. I’m sure I’ve offended droves of people who don’t get that I am very pro-migration but cautiously so.
