I'd like to do the same, but am struggling with testing how to move the stuff I do in #docker over to something suitable in #freebsd15

Because some of the containers are not of my own making, I'm going to have to learn quite a bit to reproduce them and the security within them for #vpns etc.

I'm still interested in trying to see if #freebsd15 can be an option for me, but I'm also going through a handful of options in #linux with #systemd free distros and trying to stay away from the likes of #wayland and #pipewire also.
Current favourite is #artixlinux as they have made the effort to decouple the pid1 init system with additional packages for some of the daemon-type services. I like #dinit a lot, but am also testing #openrc too.

At least there's still a bit of common sense somewhere ...

Someone Forked systemd Over Its New Birth Date Field

Liberated systemd is a fork that reverts systemd’s new optional birthDate support in user records, citing privacy concerns.

Después de mucho tiempo, finalmente hubo un cambio, un GRAN cambio

Tengo Artix Linux, con btrfs como sistema de archivos, OpenRC de init system, KDE como gestor de ventanas, una tera de espacio, y casi todas las aplicaciones instaladas como AppImages

Este momento de mi vida es definitivamente felicidad  

#linux #desktop #appimage #btrfs #openrc #kde #plasma67 #artix #nosystemd

#BeamlineLeben geht zu Ende: Ich habe unsere Kontrollsoftware auf lokalen Betrieb umgeschaltet, #Gentoo in den GINIX.parking-Runlevel gebootet und somit die ganzen Jäger und Sammler abgestellt.

Toll, hierarchische Runlevel: so kann ich über das Betriebsssytem semantisch definiert Dienste starten und stoppen. Mit #OpenRC, ganz ohne Pöttering …

Leider ist gestern ein Bug in unser elektrisches Laborbuch produktiv gepusht worden, dadurch ist die Dokumentation der letzten Nacht etwas … sparsam.

@CuratedHackerNews this is a great tool. You can use it with #openRC with a little script writing, I used it to fix my backspace key that stopped working when I spilt coffee on my keyboard, and to disable caplocks. 😁

Sigh ...

systemd reminds me of the plague.

-> Guest7 joins #openrc
Guest7: Hello
navi: Hello?
(30 minutes later)
<- Guest7 leaves #openrc

:) :) :) :) :) :)

Although i've never bothered before I also upgraded desktop cpu, prob not worth it over the 3900X i had but its a bit faster. #openrc is so fast you dont get to see anything before xdm pops up.

Now 32GB probably isn't enough #ram but that'll have to do.

Thought id fucked up the install as the first boot takes a long time, but it went smoothly after that.

So much for '#SystemD is not a monolith' guilt tripping. It's modular in theory alone. #Flatpak is the next critical software to introduce a hard dependency on systemd, after #Gnome. Those of us using #Runit, #OpenRC, #GNUShepherd etc are looking at a situation similar to #elogind.

What's common among them? A corporate #OpenSource ecosystem that only they can maintain. Meanwhile, those who question this are treated with contempt!
