it will be replaced by systemd-dated soon

Not on my machines.

I distrust the tech and the corporation behind the tech being pushed on us as the one true way.

I have no room for the one true way in the Free Software paradigm.

Amen for choice. Grateful for init freedom. … Grateful for date freedom. … And whatever else systemd attempts to embrace-extend-extinguish.

… Just realised, I can’t tell if that[“it will be replaced by systemd-dated soon”]'s satire. Systemd, so bad, one can say horrible things they’ll be doing, and listeners will not be able to tell. Systemd, so bad, it’s beyond susceptibility to satirical reductio-absurdism, already reduced to the absurd.

There’s now a distro on distrowatch that shows up when searching for distros with SonicDE. https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=vendefoul Vendefoul Wolf. Devuan based. :)

Could be a new fave. With few challengers.

Already have a program that does that one thing, well. For stuff about dates, try the date command.

As in the case of wanting to know the day of the week of some distant future event’s date:

date -d "YYYY-MM-DD" +"%A".

Had that before systemd existed.

… Since “systemd is all you need” do systemd users uninstall date?

And by that, I’m changing to pantaloonae.

Half-and-halfae.

About the 3rd or 4th I came up with.

I’m sticking with that.

Half-and-halfae.

Madness.

^ yus.

And fiddling with the dials on https://distrowatch.com/search.php can help too (e.g. selecting beginners from distribution category drop-down menu).

distrochooser.de & distrowatch.com/search.php, powerful combo to help find the right distro for you.

I’d watch that movie.

A bird on a plane.

Thanks for mentioning SliTaz. It made my shortlist too. Didn’t think anyone else would mention it. :)

SliTaz evokes a lot of love and joy. It’s like seeing a microbus… People just smile. Makes the world lighter.

I haven’t tried Gentoo yet, but I want to.

Come. You want to. And it’s easy. Here’s a video install guide on how to install Gentoo, that’s not even 40 seconds long…

;)

(… 24 days ago. Oh. Did you do it yet? On Gentoo yet? USE flag convertee now?)

I might switch to Gentoo later, especially if work on the GNU Hurd kernel progresses far enough.

I was briefly using Hurd with debian about 12 years ago… it didn’t hurt. Hurd didn’t hurt.

… I’ve been looking over at even more exotic kernels from time to time, yet to seriously dip my toe in… things like ironclad.

Here are some independent distros I think need more respect/recognition:

• CRUX - It’s proper old school, been around for ages, still does things the old school ways, gets you perhaps more knowledge of your system than even archlinux, slackware, gentoo…
• KISS (and/or Carbs) - Similarly keeps you hands-on tight to your system.
• Exherbo - Takes commitment, to go from 0 to 10, users as developers. Godly, if you can.
• SliTaZ - Still as small as the old small DamnSmallLinux, and more pleasant (comparable to SLAX and Puppy).
• Gobo - Always needs honorary mention. Unique file system layout … ~ Would be cool if that were simply something we could toggle on any distro… Surely that’s just someone taking an afternoon with an LLM making XDG configurations… no? Okay, probably more complicated than I know. ~ But I digress…
• GuixSD - Manage your system with guile.
• PCLinuxOS - Convenient, catering to desktop users. Nice community spins. Oddly uses RPM package format, but with apt interface.
• BedrockLinux - What I’ve used for about 14 years as my daily driver. It’s cheating. ;) Linux’s best kept secret.

Big fan of each of these.

Also peripherally aware of…

• venom
• adelie
• milis
• side (uses PiSi package manager)
• ToaruOS (idk, just saw it for the first time now… showing there’s always more to explore…)

Time for Haskell?

How many more bugs would Haskell catch?

“Entire classes of bugs”?

There are (oh so ironically) so many to choose from in Astronomy.

Planet for example, or Asteroid…

But seriously, it’s in their name, that they name things, which, as the name’s typically used, encompasses so much more… They name themselves as that which names stars, and they cannot even get naming themselves right…

Misnomers so normalised, many people don’t even realise.

Nommy irony of astronomy.

This is why when we say SET and SETTING, that includes who you have around.

Don’t trip with rotters like that around.

Not mutually exclusive dogmas.

:O

How deep does this go???

No Ceres?

How are you?

Etymology = mental acrobatics ?

Of course the “actually existing zionism”, the thing that gets called zionism, is as you describe. But we’re still being catch22’d by the perverted language trap.
