Take your eye roll and hearty groan and get out!

Thanks for a good chuckle this morning.

I’m browsing all by top/6 hour. Bad news: they’re multiplying. I counted at least three or four users on the first page.

Considering the current obsession on Lemmy, I was all ready for this to be “The Meta-moth-osis”.

If you’ve asked in a friendly way, without putting stress on her, and accepted the ‘no’ without making a fuss and in the same friendly way, it doesn’t tend to cause difficulty in my experience.

Surely we all know crayons are deicious? I like the green ones best.

If you are just a user, in that a computer is just a tool you use, then you’re right, there’s comparatively little reason to be concerened or even know about the underlying details of the system. If you go further and start making changes to your system, or even building more complex systems, over time you will find yourself forming quite firm opinions about various parts of the underlying system, especially if you’ve had experience with other options.

Honestly, I’m not sure, I was looking at Devuan, but then noticed that Debian supported sysvinit natively so I went that route instead. I figure that sticking to the source distro was going to give me fewer headaches, and so far it’s been plain sailing.

Debian, installed without systemd as per the wiki. So far I’ve not hit any issues, whilst I’ve recently ended up diving through both kernel and systemd code to find the root cause of an issue I was hitting on one server. I could have just bodged past it, but I wanted to actually understand what the issue was, and what else it was going to affect.
