  • Well futex based high performance mutex support which is 400x faster than what existed back when 4MB systems were sold. A Constraint solver that doesn’t deadlock, support for a boatload of functionality that didn’t even exist back then.

    And most of the size comes from -O3 compiler optimizations that didn’t exist back then and if you build with -Os it is about 512KB of a memory footprint which is smaller than SysV out of the box on Debian. So it is snappy on a 386SX with 4MB of RAM if you go the gentoo route.

    People use SystemD because it works better than what came before it and it will be replaced when something actually better shows up. No one happens to have found a generally better solution yet.

    OpenRC, Gnu Shepherd, runit and S6 are available for people who like them better but don’t assume that they are generally better for someone else’s use cases until you know what they are.









  • Short answer is anyway that they can. Israel is trying to cut the communication to hide their crimes and basically every thinking human is doing anything and everything that they can to help people in danger.

    Anyone who isn’t will inevitably have to live in a world where the people they could have helped are not around to help them when they need help.





  • Yeah, no. Email has always been an open standard. What is occurring is standard software allows filtering out spam (because people make money sending out spam) and then because centralized domain reputation inevitably occurs (because it is annoying hunting down bad actors and collectively it becomes easier) we end up with what we have today.

    The solution is white list filtering in the hands of their users and people adding the senders that they want routed to their inbox but that is a user training problem that nobody wants to pay for.
