Hi all, Five minutes ago I heard a rumor that Lennart Poettering has rewritten rsync. My top urgency is to download the latest numbered version of rsync untouched by Lennart Poettering: I'll find out if the rumor is true or false later. I've downloaded rsync rsync-3.1.3.tar.gz and rsync-patches-3.1.3.tar.gz from https://download.samba.org/pub/rsync/...

...ntil at least CentOS/RHEL 8. One of the great joys of *NIX is small, stable text files that can be handled without vast study unlike the obscure behemoth that would look good coming out of Redmond. Even getting ntp to supply time to another system takes hours instead of 5 minutes. If I ever meet Poettering I'll be sure to sup with a long spoon. ;-( -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJWS5ksAAoJEAF3yXsqtyBlA1oQANrvHWI3JbGUfREfZWYUiRxi ZTP3rATIyXwbmgK7ApcanAXqrnF1M1PmSarmnLQFhaNdNI1an5YdT/qM5tpnBUwg MemJSUNZHPAxdg8KDqRr2alb0jLK/GHALO+43XaEQN3CMZfZbz2rU...

...removing all of your files from / is no longer recommended. On UEFI distributions by default where EFI variables are accessible via /sys, this can now mean trashing your UEFI implementation. There is this systemd bug report requesting that UEFI variables be mounted as read-only by default.

I've seen the following things claimed for it: Of the three things you list, hot-plug is certainly an important one. But, it's not the big deal. The big deal is that systemd is not just a fire-and-hope startup system, but

Ah well, bed time. I'll tussle with Poettering's logic in the morning. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJVHw8xAAoJEAF3yXsqtyBlieQP/3to6d4gqWZ1HQkTvwKwgSBf Mg3GM6R+10E8skhHEuwAe8uX3ZznbO4F7NOMy3yRBSrL+y/fu6+U8To7T6wLvGKC kFbdCbWradLP31clWzVjJYVVYIUXTVpMC6u59L5IFbYzIB//KShYC7NxDAtQ17qG sbi82Bu...

Working code argues best. Benno Rice is right: Lennart Poettering gets stuff done. In the BSD world, they call the opposite tendency bikeshedding. You can find a thousand people willing to argue about why something shouldn?t be done, or why it shouldn?t be done *that* way for every person capable, willing, and available to write a given piece of software.

This was a request from the systemd guys. They need a quick and easy way to get all devices attached to a Btrfs filesystem in order to check if any of the disks are SSD for...something, I didn''t ask :). I''ve tested this with the btrfs-progs patch that accompanies this patch. Thanks, Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <josef@redhat.com> --- fs/btrfs/ioctl.c | 64

When the guest uses systemd, install firstboot scripts under ‘multi-user.target’. See this link for details: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2017-July/039325.html This fixes firstboot on Fedora 26 (and in general with systemd >= 233).

Redhat employs Lennart Poettering. Redhat derivates have to follow. Ubuntu and Debian choose systemd, on one hand, because more and more softs depend on systemd (Gnome 3, for example), and on the other hand, to save maintainers time, dropping their own init system. The technically best choice, you say ? Sylvain. Pensez ENVIRONN...

Hello. As you probably know, PulseAudio uses the resampler from libspeexdsp by default. As a PulseAudio contributor, I have a feature request. As you can see from old publications [1,2] by Lennart Poettering, PulseAudio has a "timer-based scheduling" feature which is now active by default. PulseAudio attempts to use as high latency as possible (sometimes up to 2 seconds) in order to save power and reduce the chance of dropouts. However, in order to stay responsive to events such as so...
