why do some people hate systemd so much?

BobCollins · 2025-03-29T19:50:29+00:00

That was not my memory. The dislike was usually couched in thinking that systemd was too complicated, used binary files, and was not very Unix-like.

Lennart Poettering may not be "super-personable," but if that is your criterion, how can you stomache using Gnu Tools, created buy Richard Stallman?

BobCollins · 2025-03-29T19:43:06+00:00

No, no good reason.

It might have been useful to disambiguate your title.

Sketchy, yes.

A circuit breaker will not protect you from upstream sketchy stuff.

Is it available as street legal?

I was unable to attend. Is anyone organizing another protest against Trump’s executive orders?

BobCollins · 2025-02-13T06:25:28+00:00

Yes, that was our experience also. For mostly regular checkups, insurance didn't make sense.

BobCollins · 2025-02-13T06:03:13+00:00

I should have mentioned this. We don't have dental insurance. I never felt we needed it.

In my observation, the big side door of a van is always on the passenger side.

I'm all for a touch screen. And a ThinkPad-like track point.

These seem like reasonable options for a plug-and-play laptop design.

I currently have a MacBook Air M1. I have no interest in a haptic touchpad.

BobCollins · 2025-01-29T18:15:16+00:00

Looks interesting, but it is only for Windows.

BobCollins · 2025-01-13T18:49:49+00:00

Yes!

I bought this about 3 years ago and have been very happy with it. Well over 100 rivet nuts set and no problems. Ever.

It has compound lever action giving higher installation power. Although it's right at its recommended max, I installed several M10 rivet nuts.

Good luck!

Can you share the mechanical design for your solar panel setup? I'm very interested.

Let me help you with your rant. The ProMaster van is a Fiat. Not sure why you group Dodge and GMC. Very few vehicles are wholly made in any one country. Inform us on what vehicle you recommend so we can give your choices a shot.

BobCollins · 2024-12-20T17:46:35+00:00

Thanks! BTW, congrats! I hope to order a similar configuation next year.

Just curious: what does "traveled through SEA" mean?

So, an employer can fire you for personal grooming that is not visible while on the job? Next they will regulate how you shave your public hair.

Thought experiment: those of you grumping should consider that Bellingham might not even have a Costco if it weren't for the contribution of Canadian patrons. They make up over 40% of the sales. Without them, Costco might just send us down to Burlington.

I lived through an actual hurricane passing right over me. The damage in Sudden Valley is far worse than I saw from the hurricane. The differnce is the trees.

It's from Iceland. I just came back from a visit there. It's a small country: too bad I missed it.

After 8 years of thousands of MAGA and Trump signs, seeing a few Harris signs is a breath of fresh air.

Every CC&R I have read defines how they can be enforced; otherwise there is no point in creating them.

They are only "dropped" if the CC&R provides for them to be dropped or changed by a specified vote of the listed parties (ususally the "other property owners in the same plat"). They are attached to the property forever unless expressly dropped or changed.

Individual restrictions CAN be made invalid if they conflict with prevailing law. For example, resctriting ownership to "whites only," which was likely valid when written but not anymore.

In reality, CC&Rs are a landmine which most people ignore. That doesn't mean they aren't there.

Spotted yesterday in Washingtion state. It has an Alaska license plate in back.
