    Thank you for this. I haven’t been any sort of sysadmin in a good long time and when I was, I didn’t manage more than three or four servers. But I am fed up enough with SystemD to finally go to the trouble of switching back from Arch to the Gentoo I used to run and love. And it’s a breath of fresh air dealing with OpenRC (and generally the whole Gentoo ecosystem) again.

    Unit files are a pain to deal with. I love that with init scripts, if I can write Bash scripts, I can write init scripts without having to look up every little thing in Google and in man pages.








  • I… doubt it?

    I took the liberty of looking in the developer tools as it failed, and there was a 500 response. The connection to Hulu’s servers was all over HTTPS and I didn’t get any certificate warning, so unless my ISP managed to get Hulu’s private key or got with a corrupt registrar willing to issue a valid replacement certificate, no ISP should be able to change response codes on a man-in-the-middle basis or a redirecting-traffic-to-a-hostile-server basis.

    And given how many people have reported issues, I doubt it’s specific to any particular ISPs.

    Net neutrality being dead is a huge bummer, but I don’t think this can be blamed on that.

    Yeah, I’m planning to switch from Arch to Gentoo. Systemd isn’t the only reason, but it’s a big one.

    (Yes, I know about Artix, but it’s… kindof a Frankenstein’s monster, still mostly depending on the Arch repos and still with certain relics of Systemd. Or at least it was when I last tried it.)

    There are definitely more hydrogen atoms in a mole of water than stars in the Milky Way.

    The Milky Way has somewhere between 100 and 400 billion stars according to Wikipedia (1*10^11 to 4*10^11). A mole of water has 6.022*10^23 molecules in it, each of which has two hydrogen atoms in it for a total of 1.2044*10^24 hydrogen atoms.

    10^24 / 10^11 = 10^13 which is ten trillion. So, a mole of water has roughly ten trillion times as many hydrogen atoms as the Milky Way has stars.


  • More realistically:

    • Patient: “Doctor, I got shot in the chest.”
    • Doctor: “Have you considered it might be anxiety?”
    • Patient: “WTF are you talking about? Look, I’m bleeding out all over the floor here.”
    • Doctor: “You’d be surprised what anxiety can do.”
    • Patient: “Doc, I’m dying from A GUNSHOT WOUND.”
    • Doctor: “Ang. Zai. Eh. Tee. Kthxbye.”

  • When WotC finally backed down and dual-licensed the SRD OGL 1.0a and Creative Commons, I decided to end my boycott. They were cooperating with the community’s demands. (Finally.)

    And then they sent the Pinkertons after one of their MTG customers.

    So, fuck Hasbro. (Hasbro owns WotC.) I’m not giving them another dime. I DM a 5e game, but I’m not purchasing anything 5e again.

    I have less investment in the Unity situation, but fuck those assholes too.
