Glad to learn that HTTP/0.9
is still “in use globally” then. A bit surprising, but since it’s all about stretching definitions past what is reasonable, for the sole purpose of having the last word, let’s shoehorn anything into anything to the infinity and beyond!!! 🤡🚀
If you need to provide tools that cross security boundaries then […] a small web app is better [than sudo].
A web app? Effin really!!? 🤨
Note: this comment is long, because it is important and the idea that “systemd is always better, no matter the situation” is absolutely dangerous for the entire FOSS ecosystem: both diversity and rationality are essential.
Systemd can get more efficient than running hundreds of poorly integrated scripts
In theory yes. In practice, systemd is a huge monolithic single-point-of-failure system, with several bottlenecks and reinventing-the-wheel galore. And openrc is a far cry from “hundreds of poorly integrated scripts”.
I think it is crucial we stop having dogmatic “arguments” with argumentum ad populum or arguments of authority, or we will end up recreating a Microsoft-like environment in free software.
Let’s stop trying to shoehorn popular solutions into ill suited use cases, just because they are used elsewhere with different limitations.
Systemd might make sense for most people on desktop targets (CPUs with several cores, and several GB of RAM), because convenience and comfort (which systemd excels at, let’s be honest) but as we approach “embedded” targets, simpler and smaller is always better.
And no matter how much optimisation you cram into the bigger software, it will just not perform like the simpler software, especially with limited resources.
Now, I take OpenRC as an example here, because it is AFAIR the default in devuan, but it also supports runit, sinit, s6 and shepherd.
And using s6, you just can’t say “systemd is flat out better in all cases”, that would be simply stupid.
Junior dev:
Straight out of uni, know the latest developments while having also studied long established standards and specifications (like POSIX, LSB, SQL, etc), full of energy, and ready to speedrun burning out any %
Senior dev:
Hasn’t learned anything substantial in decades, uses outdated specs because “who got the time for that, and legacy stuff works just as well anyway”, copy pastes most of their work from stack overflow, is only still employed because of their inside information knowledge and the utter absence of documentation leading to a bus factor of one, and has perfected the art of gaming the system to the point of photoshopping a sloppy IDE screen over their WoW game whenever a picture of them “working” gets taken.
Yeah, checks out.
It would seem that the end user has no idea what “cut” means. I never have to “go back to the original directory to delete the originals”. That is what “cut” is for.
Besides, as other comments pointed out, one can make a multiple selection, and then, in conjunction with “cut”, it will work exactly like the feature described at the end. 🤷♂️
This doesn’t pass the smell test.
