Re: Four people decided the fate of debian with systemd. Bad faith likely - SysV is fine

Fine, I'll just poke at this reply since it's that asinine. But this is 
probably my last post in this thread since the idiocy from this poster has 
gone from "curiously amusing" to "stupidly annoying."

By the way, I noticed you changed your fake email at least once in this 
thread. I'm guessing you noticed people are starting to block you. Ever think 
why?

Initscripts are not simple. At all. Have you even looked at an initscript? I'm 
thinking no.

Why? What makes it a nightmare? Have you even used systemd or are you just 
trolling?

Uh... no, I gave valid technical reasons why systemd is better. Dependency-
based concurrent boot with cgroups control. And that's just ONE reason.

You're the one coming on here making paranoid claims about systemd being an 
attempt to conquer Linux. I didn't make any political claims at any point in 
this entire thread.

That's not shell, that's C. You don't even know what a shall script is, I'm 
thinking.

Also, it doesn't do concurrency at all the same way as systemd does. Do you 
even know how SysV and systemd work? I'm guessing, again, no.

Hahaha. Initscripts are NOT simple. Please. PLEASE, do yourself a favor and 
actually look at an initscript. Educate yourself. You're making yourself look 
like an idiot.

Don't presume to know how long I've been using Linux. Judging by your complete 
and utter lack of technical knowledge I'm willing to bet I've been using Linux 
and the GNU toolchain a heck of a lot longer than you have.

Clearly you never wrote a shell script or tried to fix one. I have. I've also 
worked with unit files. It's no contest that systemd unit files are much simpler 
and easier to work with,

As concurrent as initscripts can safely get, which isn't that far. And hell 
yes they need to be changed. Ever administrate a Debian Stable server? I 
welcome a change to systemd on my server, way less hassle.

Who says it's unaudited? You? Do you know how much work the DDs put into 
supporting their packages? I don't think you do.

What new operating system?

Are you aware SysV also runs with root privileges? And it probably exposes the 
system to more hazards given how many more processes it has to spawn over the 
courseof just ONE initscript?

The above is not an initscript. I'll concede it's a poorly thought out init 
with a badly implemented concurrency setup, but your attempt to make systemd's 
concurrency look like nothing special is laughable.

Your point? What's so great about shell scripts? They're overcomplex, hard to 
maintain, difficult to test and debug, spend more time in boilerplate than 
system management, and are prone to failure. Nothign I say here is new/

I see how much bullshit your claims are.
