@hannah Meanwhile, this logo makes me wonder if there’s more physical theft of technology in Portland than elsewhere. @hannah They used to just do coffee. Now they also do cakes, lunch, dinner, lumber, cat food, and light aircraft. @hannah@posts.rat.pictures i am going to read systemd in a french accent every time i see it now @hannah Careful, feature creep will slowly take over most of your dining experience. Now that this has 200 boosts i should confess that i havent used linux in two decades, i dont know what systemd is, and i dont understand any of these replies @Siph do you know if the linux thing an intentional pun on that because id so thats very clever @uliwitness @hannah I didn't find any information to indicate that but if you can that'd be cool! @Siph @hannah Wikipedia (en) mentions it and has a link to an archived article at Heise making the claim: https://web.archive.org/web/20121014173559/http://www.h-online.com/open/features/Control-Centre-The-systemd-Linux-init-system-1565543.html that in turn links to this: https://web.archive.org/web/20130114034246/http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/systemd.html which is the site of Lennart Poettering, apparently the original author of systemd. You know the #Christian #Reformation and the little disagreement about the role of the Pope? Well, #systemd is a bit like that. @hannah And here I was going to ask: which OS do you prefer, Emacs or systemd? Oh, well... @hannah It’s a monoid over the category of initialization processes And if you thought the replies to this thread were inscrutable before…. @hannah I don't believe you, miss. Unless you're running your Mastodon server on FreeBSD or Haiku or whatever. @drq I pay masto.host 9 bucks a month for them to do all the computer stuff for me @hannah Fun fact: systemd (the daemon program for starting up the subprocesses of a linux system, not unlike launchd or the init script, which many other distributions refuse to use because in their opinion it does too many things) was actually named that as a pun on the French concept of Système D(ebruiller), (I.e., skill of improvisation). |
