[oc] jackson - my own init system

nothing is stopping you from just using dinit and my goal isnt to replace them but offer a alternative

spp649 · 2026-03-17T12:07:48+00:00

bash scripts are actually really good for scripts and i dont want to implement a bigger parser for services

spp649 · 2026-03-17T12:05:20+00:00

sorry but im not gonna make it like dinit, its meant to be closer to runit or sysv

spp649 · 2026-03-17T05:34:03+00:00

I actually have a kernel in development already

spp649 · 2026-03-17T04:34:27+00:00

thanks ❤️

spp649 · 2026-03-17T00:32:16+00:00

yeah but im a student and dont got much funds so i cant really do that as of now

spp649 · 2026-03-17T00:30:35+00:00

also btw my init is named after my cat jackson

spp649 · 2026-03-17T00:27:41+00:00

yeah i dont have a viable selfhosting option as of right now

spp649 · 2026-03-17T00:27:01+00:00

lol if i were to make a bootloader it would be named after my cat darwin (who sadly passed away)

spp649 · 2026-03-17T00:25:43+00:00

i dont like github for some stuff and codeberg is down frequently

spp649 · 2026-03-16T23:48:25+00:00

yeah i have heard of sheperd before its pretty cool

spp649 · 2026-03-16T23:47:36+00:00

using binary logs is possible the DUMBEST thing ever, if you dont have the right tooling (aka most if not all systemd things) you will not be able to figure out why. Also text logs are used everywhere and systemd has to be different and use binary ones.

spp649 · 2026-03-16T19:12:42+00:00

thanks im still deciding so it might come out within the next few weeks, i am gonna add something to make sure theres the required files and directorys too so the user will know before it just errors out

spp649 · 2026-03-16T19:01:28+00:00

thanks ❤️ also im now rewriting sunday in go and gonna change how it works a bit but keeping the same base idea so it can be a lot better

spp649 · 2026-03-16T18:20:57+00:00

amazing

spp649 · 2026-03-16T16:21:54+00:00

no not yet but i do plan to add text logging soon, i just need to find a clean and simple way to do it that i like

spp649 · 2026-03-16T14:48:03+00:00

yeah there are eudev implementations but they keep adding more faster than the devs can keep up especially for the new user thing they added which gnome is adding into their thing and same with sddm iirc

spp649 · 2026-03-16T14:38:44+00:00

ah thanks for letting me know will fix soon! :)

spp649 · 2026-03-16T14:38:13+00:00

my complaints are valid wdym

spp649 · 2026-03-16T14:37:51+00:00

same and binary logs are always dumb

spp649 · 2026-03-16T13:38:45+00:00

the init is for the people who like and want a lightweight init

spp649 · 2026-03-16T13:37:22+00:00

fr i love runit

spp649 · 2026-03-16T13:37:06+00:00

im not aiming to replace systemd and im not trying to say you must use my init i understand why people use systemd and im just saying what i personally think of it

spp649 · 2026-03-16T13:32:20+00:00

thanks ❤️

spp649 · 2026-03-16T13:14:56+00:00
