Daniel Moser🚇 Why you shouldn’t hang out at the end of railway tunnels 👇👇
Would've been amusing if you changed your channel to "The Windows Experiment" and do a weekly update video on proprietary news for today @thelinuxEXP.
Something to keep in mind for next year, though!

If you see weird traffic requests coming into the website, then that is probably me trying to figure out how to grep posts @newt.
Say, do you have much experience with #systemd per chance @newt? Having trouble loading some services when booting into the Neptune Kernel on Arch Linux. “Unable to load Jupiter Controller update”. Although the service was unable to start preventing Wayland or X from loading I was still able to switch to another TTY and went about searching around for clues.
I eventually found out that systemd was having trouble loading jupiter-controller-update.service. I looked through systemctl status jupiter-controller-update.service to see what was happening when systemd attempted to load the unit which revealed a couple of errors. Jupiter-controller-update.service exited with an abnormal code that complained that it didn’t have permission to load the unit and that a parse error: Invalid numeric literal in jupiter-controller-update.sh was preventing the shell script from running.
I tried a variety of troubleshooting steps such as using chmod 744 on jupiter-controller-update.sh and chmod 644 on jupiter-controller-update.service and changing ownership of the two files to root:root but nothing seemed to work. The shell script appears to function in SteamOS though it won’t in Arch Linux even with the same packages and services installed. I’ll only have the creator of the guide I was following for help as I doubt that Steam Support will do anything to help. Can anyone in #development or otherwise handy with #linux lend me a hand?
Edited and resubmitted for clarity and detail.Absolutely fun working on something with no documentation, suppose I now know how poor @ncommander (@ncommander) must feel.
Been an absolute nightmare getting the Neptune kernel installed from Steam's own repositories. If their configuration of the distribution is anything to go by, I would be honestly curious to see what they've done to butcher @torvalds's kernel.
Hard at work getting the Neptune kernel to boot on Arch Linux so I can eventually make the transition.
I have a question for you @torvalds, do you think it would be possible to restructure the Linux kernel into a microkernel with the existing components loaded as kernel modules?
The idea of a kernel design like that which didn't suck has always fascinated me.

The entire video can be summarised in a few words @distrotube. There has been a gradual shift away from #POSIX compliance over the last two decades as it no longer became prioritized in the majority of software development. The disruption caused by #Linux which brought about the subsequent downfall of #UNIX reverberated throughout the open-source community.
With most open-source development beginning to revolve around Linux as it rose in popularity, POSIX became a dying standard observed only by #BSD operating systems and other fringe communities. Projects began to appear which made no attempt at adhering to POSIX such as #SystemD. The issue remaining unaddressed for as long as it did further compounded matters as software became more intricate and complex over time.
Reading or making changes to source code and configuration files became more difficult, requiring extensive documentation which can run several pages long. Sadly, there doesn’t appear to be any easy way to address and remedy these issues moving forward. Though it hasn’t stopped people from trying. The philosophy of the #Suckless community is a modern-day equivalent of UNIX philosophy in today’s age.
They create modular software with a lean code base that does one job and does it well. If you develop software or happen to know someone that does who may have a vested interest in the following topic, then feel free to direct them their way.
