It also says that they might have planned a second expansion featuring it. Doesn't really say when the content was made, just that it would have been DLC.

I've played Phantom Liberty, going to the moon would fit that story. Maybe this is cut content from that expansion, not its own thing.

OpenAI really captured the essence of "oh shit I didn't study for this exam at all so I'll just try and bullshit my way through it"

I’d have to get used to the syntax and writing my own scripts but if the majority of Linux distros switched to it tomorrow I’d enjoy it.

I don't think I wrote more than one or two init scripts during my years of using Gentoo, the packages usually come with them. The newer syntax looks like you can get by with just a few variables and a dependency definition, not that different from a unit file I think.

Do you have to write and maintain your own init scripts, or is that created during installation?

Packages should come with the necessary scripts (on Gentoo and Alpine they do), but if they don't for some reason then writing them is pretty simple. I think the updated layout really only needs dependencies and a couple variables defined.

Void uses Runit which is even simpler, you have one directory per service and at least a script called "run" in there which gets executed by the supervisor. The is usually just one line, that's all it takes to make a service work. It also has the supervisor take care of handling logging, similar to what Systemd does. I think it's a very clean, modern take on classic init, except that dependency/ordering doesn't exist - it just retries until things fall into place. Works well though.

I’m just glad I chose arch instead of Gentoo. I got plenty of will power to learn something new but waiting hours or even days for a bunch of software to compile was too much for me.

But the documentation is really good and I like the simplicity of OpenRC. Give Void or Alpine a go if you want to dip your toes into something similar, but without all the compiling.

Man... in a better world Nintendo wouldn't have a case because liberating encryption keys is the basis for interoperability, which is good for, you know, competition. Competition is good. Or so I've heard.

You already are on a Linux sub, so... Maybe you can start here? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHyaFBsxy1s

I love how a software bug that scrambled his newsgroup subscriptions introduced him to the fandom, that's so unbelievably nerdy.

But honestly: Those pipeline memes kinda rub me the wrong way. It feels like fucking with people's identity by way of stereotyping for... I don't know, a laugh, if that's even the point? Saying this as someone who completely fits the furry in IT stereotype.

your obvious magabias

You are jumping at shadows something fierce.

Alright, I'm sick of pretending I don't approve. You go girl, we're all adults here and have needs, so live out that disgusting Scottish ghost boning fantasy all you want, nothing to be ashamed of!

Just please also strike any mention of "Caitian heat VI" from my file when it comes to holodeck-related injuries, OK?
