It isn't even the final form, wait til you get systemd-wine, systemd-windows and finally systemd-os, rebranding any software to systemd.

So, this is the power of systemd? now we have botnet that infected user that use systemd to mine crypto? It's a fucking clown world all over again in their init system. Lel.

literally just retards using "1234" as their password
>now we have botnet that infected user that use systemd to mine crypto
it installs a service, it could do the same with any other init

>>2566
it definitely boots sysv by default and not systemd
nothing installed seems to depend on systemd to run either

Teach me how to convert systemd scripts or whatever that thing is that I see in many RPi tutorials.

I looked around since I don't have time to test out 3-4 build systems right now. Here is what I found about Meson, it is easy to see why it is good from what you and >>5671 said, so I look for the bads instead.
>cross-compiling support is(was?) weaker than cmake, especially when building dependencies that uses cmake
>little flexibility, rigid project layout expectation, you need to format your project just like what meson expects
I also found the good stuff such as better syntax and speed.
Never used it, I can't say how rigid meson is to project structure. But being confined by a build tool sounds like little gain for a lot of restriction. How do you deal with this or are you completely on board with meson's project layout (it is not a problem for you)?

>>5690
Meson doesn't specify a project layout beyond requiring a dedicated build directory which can have any name.
Cross compiling under Meson is badly documented and buggy. I've also run into a limitation: it won't let you depend on a library on the host and the build machines simultaneously.

Another thing about Meson is that it's not as portable as Autotools or CMake. You can't port your program to 9front or UnixWare 7 with it, and it doesn't support tcc, cparser, or other such obscure systems and compilers. Meson's integration requires adding code to Meson itself to support all of those systems and compilers, whereas Autotools and CMake leave that up to you, so if you put the effort into it, you can probably port your programs to LynxOS and pcc and the like. Well, if you put effort into it, you can add that support to Meson.

I'm this guy btw >>5153. I'm trying to port my stuff to every single system and compiler Meson supports, right now I'm unable to port to any more only because I don't have access to them. I can't get an AIX or HP-UX machine and I can't get nvidia's C compiler. I also need a more modern computer to virtualize GNU/Hurd.

Procrastinating fixing another project that uses Make and only builds on Linux... and AIX. At least the source code says it builds on AIX, I doubt it does. It also mentions Ultrix but I'm sure it doesn't.
Oh and it doesn't actually build on Linux either, if simply running "make" doesn't work and they want you to specify a bunch of configuration options then it's broken.

Yawn.

>>5820
Group 1 can be further split into subgroups for each OS since IIRC the TBB devs gave up on trying to hide the underlying OS from JS (they even disabled the Windows user agent override for a time until people requested it to be restored).

>>5824
I didn't want to make too many groups. Besides, all three can produce an OS fingerprint using the CSS query technique.

So, you probably need to disable css as well then.

Or just not touch the page in any way, but grab info you need from it and display it on a separate page.

Anyway, not running default javascript calms me down for other reasons, like not having to worry about miners. Privacy is fucked anyway.

>>5915
At this point, not enabling css is itself a group of users. In any cases, if the site you are browsing makes you worry about sophisticated tracking like this, you have bigger issues.

lol no
lmao

>>5575
Perhaps. The problem with reverse engineering drive rs is leaked source taint developers. But now they open source part of the driver, if the license allows and is compatible with nouveau, the devs can repurpose the source and integrate them.

There won't be 3 Ada compilers (FSF GNAT, GNAT-GPL/GNAT Community and GNAT Pro) anymore. There will be just FSF's GNAT (that's part of GCC) and GNAT Pro. Correct me if I'm wrong.
<Adacore releases libraries under Apache 2.0 license.
>Two years ago we thought about modernizing the ecosystem. A cleaner and more familiar ecosystem with two variants: A GNAT provided and supported by AdaCore for commercial/industrial projects, GNAT Pro, and a GNAT provided by the community for open source projects with familiar licensing and without pure GPL run-times, GNAT FSF. This results in a decision by AdaCore to stop further releases of GNAT Community and have the community handle its successor.

Will all this autism about WPM, I'm surprised nobody here has mentioned Plover, Opensteno and other stenography content. That stuff is designed to keep up with real-time speaking in terms of WPM speed. Speaking speed is 220 WPM, some steno typers have even gone up to 300 and above. It's really different though, most of if it is simultaneous keypressing with software interpreting the presses as words, so N-key rollover is important. 

Honestly, if you're willing to play with alternative key layouts for faster typing, I think it would be more efficient to learn stenography. But stick to the open-source stuff, professional-tier steno gear is anywhere from hundreds to thousands in costs.

Why there hasn't been a package manager that used BitTorrent? Integrity of files would be automatically checked by the protocol and it would be extremely easy to contribute to the project (just use a bit of your bandwidth to distribute the packages that you have downloaded).

>>5742
It would need regular http(s) as a fallback, since you don't want a package to be unavailable because nobody is seeding. Distros like Debian already have mirrors across the world so the theoretical usefulness is also somewhat limited.

>>5743
This fallback already exists because of webseed/webtorrent and most clients implement it. The reason it's not needed as much is because a lot of universities offer to host mirror packages of Linux distros for free. However, if you do go this route, plugins or patches for something like libtorrent would be needed to get rid of the dogshit SHA-1 hashing.and implement the BEP for signing files with RSA.

>>5743
The distro is free to seed the torrent. All those mirrors are free to seed the torrents too. In fact, anyone can become a mirror by simply firing up a torrent client. 

You have used torrents before haven't you?

There are a few problems I have experienced, but I can live with them or fix them.

I run it. 
I primarily pirate, read, watch anime, and program.

Easily the best C library in terms of API design, the binary size is poor but the performance is good, the malloc is original and one of the best. The kernel is pretty slow. FDE is easy to use and works well unlike every other OS except FreeBSD. Some programs are """"portable"""" but they don't work well outside their main platform(s) like aria2c, firefox, and mpv-that means they don't work well on OpenBSD. Its hardening features tend to make C undefined behavior crash which is nice for finding bugs in programs, also the task scheduler is randomized which exposes race conditions in multithreaded software. It's the only OS with sane defaults. Many tasks trigger global kernel locks which you notice because the entire OS freezes for a few milliseconds, funnily not an issue on non-mp kernels. Every original OpenBSD program is extremely pleasant to use and works extremely well, unfortunately lots of important system components like the X server aren't original (although their forks are still better than the originals). The documentation is the best of any Unix.

To test FreeDOS, simply use QEMU/VirtualBox to create a DOS VM. Give it 500MB-4GB of HDD space and some amount of RAM (like 64MB or more). If possible, use the VM settings to reduce the CPU % to 40% because some buggy programs might consume 100% of CPU. Boot the LiveCD, and type SETUP.BAT (use TAB-completion). Install FreeDOS and reboot without removing the CD. After the reboot, you can use FDIMPLES to install packages from the CD (Pro Tip: the bonus CD contains more packages. the CD gets auto-detected). You can also use FDNPKG to fetch packages from Internet (FreeDOS has TCP/IP networking). Use HELP and APROPOS
