hmm, that goes against my experience. and I’m talking about the CPUs.

have you ever had any issues that weren’t noticeable within the first 10-15 minutes of running under load?

have you ever tried undervolting yourself?

you may never have done this kind of optimization before, but when it comes to undervolting, it becomes clear pretty quickly that the wrong settings were chosen. so let me repeat: separate load testing makes no sense for someone who just wants to play games in a cool room during the summer, it’s just a waste of time and electricity. and let’s forget about the careless re-tuning thing; we obviously all undervolt with care, precision, and a ceremonial blessing.

for the current task the stress testing is the gaming itself. so it’s a low hanging fruit here.

undervolting is your best friend

discussion seem like systemd is the only possible option

I haven’t met a single sane person who would claim that there are no other systems out there. For the most part, people who use systemd say that it’s the best option right now.

I’m long past the age where I try things out just for the sake of it. For me, a tool has to solve an actual problem. Runit fails that test immediately because its dependency management is too weak. Dinit looks like a better fit, but I don’t need it, because my current system works perfectly with systemd, and I have no interest in doing by hand what the distro maintainer already took care of for me.

here that fucks have their nest.

There is no worse project in the Linux world than that.

Apply the same worries to the kernel, does your panic holds?

Thank goodness I’m not a major distro maintainer and don’t have to deal with all that shit. However, the times I did come into contact with it weren’t as bad as with upstart and sysvinit.

Let me stir up your anxiety with this simple question: that if future version of kernel introduces a breaking change or a bug that affects the whole stack?

That’s UNIX stuff.

systemd works best, scales well and causes less pain at maintaining

Did not known what Linux had a philosophy or ideology.

Thank goodness it’s not sourceforge or ftp.

The page gives very little indication of what to expect from this meeting, or perhaps the information is buried deep within the site. Neither the overview of topics nor the level of detail is clear. The page itself is designed in such a way that it doesn’t really make you want to look any further.

Hey, that’s a real Mint killer! But your lack of faith in a college student’s time, stamina, and ability to pull it off is quite disturbing.

Besides the shitty page that makes it almost impossible to figure out what the event even is and makes you want to gouge your eyes out, there’s at least a repo with the submitted slides that sheds a bit more light on it.

Don’t blame the messenger.
