Des pesticides néonicotinoïdes ont été retrouvés dans l’eau de pluie du Japon, ont révélé des chercheurs dans la revue Environmental Monitoring and Contaminents Research, le 31 mai. L’insecticide retrouvé le plus fréquemment dans l’eau est l’acétamipride, qui pourrait bientôt être réintroduit en France par la loi Duplomb.

Within our present high-speed digital landscape, we see an irrefutable fixation with the lives of famous people. Including cinema launches and best-selling albums to candid interviews and digital shares, fans are always looking for extra facts about their favorite celebrities. Most commonly looked up themes are famous people’s backgrounds and their birth years. These pieces of information not only fulfill inquisitiveness but also allow admirers to form a stronger bond with the celebrities they idolize.
A famous person’s profile is beyond being a list of accomplishments. It’s a glimpse of someone’s life path and career trajectory. When readers look up a public figure’s biography, they’re not just seeking to know where someone was from or what roles they’ve played. They want to understand the struggles, key moments, and defining moments that influenced the human behind the spotlight. For instance, discovering Zendaya’s journey from Disney Channel star to renowned actress and fashion figure adds context and inspiration to her success. Her profile doesn’t just list her achievements, but her approach to reaching those goals.
Years of life is a commonly queried point, and not just for mere curiosity. It often functions as a source of empowerment. When someone observes a young actress Millie Bobby Brown making it big as a teenager, it offers hope to ambitious youth. On the other hand, watching seasoned stars like Keanu Reeves dominate major film roles well into middle age proves that creativity and ability persist over time. Looking up celebrity ages give insight into the timing of their career path, highlighting the phases of their fame and how they’ve developed through the years.
Celebrity age usually consist of a comprehensive variety of private and career-related information. They usually commence with the person’s full name, date of birth, and birthplace. Afterwards, fans regularly are interested in the public figure’s childhood, domestic life, and their initial entry into the field. As their work develops, key achievements such as famous roles, awards, commercial endeavors, and charitable activities are often noted. Many also appreciate details on a star’s private affairs, such as their romantic involvements, interests, and even quirky interests that add human dimension. These biographies commonly feature hidden tidbits or interesting details that engage readers and deepen a star’s persona.
In a age where fake news can propagate swiftly, the value of credible and confirmed celebrity bios cannot be undervalued. Reliable platforms like the IMDb database, Variety magazine, and updated Wikipedia pages are regularly the main points of reference for reliable details. Whether you’re writing for a blog, media portal, or dedicated community page, it’s essential to regularly update content to display the fresh and reliable data about a celebrity’s age, latest endeavors, or personal milestones. The showbiz world changes swiftly, and present hearsay can easily evolve into trending topics, making timely updates a important factor of maintaining trust with readers.
Specific public figures generate ongoing interest when it comes to their profiles. Singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, for example, commands interest for her music, private affairs, and financial intelligence. Followers are always interested to learn about her evolving reputation and occupational progress.
Hollywood star Timothée Chalamet has ignited buzz thanks to his artistic background and quick ascent in the film industry. Pop icon Rihanna’s journey from singer to businesswoman and parent offers a layered and captivating story. Thor star Chris Hemsworth’s transformation into a international blockbuster actor and his real-world persona also keep fans clicking on his fresh developments.
Ultimately, public figures are more than entertainment icons. Their biographies demonstrate determination, grit, and originality. Whether someone is noticing a famous figure for the beginning, or watching their evolution for years, a carefully crafted biography and accurate personal facts link between notoriety and authentic experience.
Readers want depth beyond news—they want stories, value, and a purpose to engage. By crafting material that expresses the soul of who these public figures really are, you not only satisfy interest but establish a strong bond between stars and the public.
Leute reden vom Staat, als wäre er ein Beschützer.
Der Staat ist nichts dergleichen. Er ist eine perverse Struktur, die sich von uns nährt. Er produziert nicht, schafft nichts, er geht keine Risiken ein. Er extrahiert einfach. Er stiehlt uns Zeit, Kraft, unser Geld u. Lebenszeit.

A June 2023 study discovered Fanzors, CRISPR-like DNA-snippers in eukaryotes, including fungi, algae, amoebae, and a clam.
Fanzor is smaller than Cas enzymes, making it a potential fit for smaller viruses for delivery to cells. However, it may have a disadvantage in cutting multiple identical sites in a genome.
CRISPR-Cas systems work well in most organisms, but Fanzor might be useful for scientists working with certain bacteria where Cas enzymes are toxic.

I received this beast on tuesday. It's made by a company you might not have heard of, called Juno computers. They operate ouf of London, and much like Slimbook or Tuxedo, they offer laptops based on Clevo designs, as well as desktops.
Disclaimer: I haven't received any money for this video, and I don't get to keep the laptop either, so be nice ;)

This one here is the Neptune 15. It's a 15.6'' laptop, with a full HD IPS panel, running at 144hz. It's all made out of black aluminium, and it's pretty lightweight for the power it packs: 4.4 pounds, or 2 kilos, for a 10th gen intel core i7 CPU, with 8 cores and 16 threads, an RTX 2060 with 6gb of memory, and 16gb of RAM. My test unit came with 256Gb of SSD, but you can actually configure that up: it can go up to and RTX2080 Super Max-Q, 64Gb of RAM, and 4Tb of storage.
They have multiple keyboard options, mine came with as US qwerty keyboard, but you could get a bunch of other layouts as well.
The I/O is pretty excellent. On the left side, you've got a micro SD card slot, a USB A port, a headset and a microphone jack. On the right side, you have 2 more USB A, and an ethernet port
And on the back, a minidisplay port, an HDMI port, the plug for the barrel charger, and a thunderbolt 3 port for data, not charging. It didn't seem to be recognized by GNOME though, but maybe it only activates with something plugged in.
Now that it's out of the box, and I had a few days to play around with it, here are some first impressions.
First, that panel. It's good. It doesn't go ultra bright, but it's matte, so basically no reflections whatsoever. And that 144hz refresh rate is simply amazing. I didn't think this mattered at all, but after using it for a few hours each day, going back to my 60hz displays on my desktop was a bit of a shock. It really does make a difference. The viewing angles are fantastic as well, with no loss of color, or color shifting.
The webcam is pretty standard, at 720p, nothing special, you won't look like a potato during your video conferences, but it's nothing to write home about.
I thought maybe the power button would double as a fingerprint scanner, but it doesn't seem to be the case, but you still get a full size keyboard, with number pad, and, more importantly for some people, RGB. You can tweak the backlight to whatever color you want, and Juno Computers included a small utility in the top bar to let you tweak that.
By the way, another utility allows you to change the fan speed if you want, and switch profiles between the intel, or nvidia card, with an "nvidia on demand mode", which pairs well with GNOME's ability to open apps using the dedicated GPU.
Other than that, the Ubuntu install is a pretty much stock OEM install of 20.04, with the latest Nvidia drivers included as well.
The build quality is very nice, thanks to the aluminium, we'll have to see if the black texture doesn't scratch off too easily after a few more weeks of use. The screen hinge is pretty sturdy, and doesn't wobble much.
There is a bit of give around the keyboard when you type, and you'll definitely see it, but the keys feel good as well, good amount of travel, and satisfying, muffled sound. It lacks a bit of bounceback for my taste, but it's still pretty good. There is also some amount of flex on the back of the panel, but that's not somewhere where you'll be pressing most of the time, so it's not worrying.
Now, the windows key here, I could have done without. Building a Linux computer means selling it to Linux guys, and making the extra effort to remove that key and replace it by something else, a SUPER logo, or a Juno computers logo, or an Ubuntu logo even, would have been cool.
Now the trackpad seems excellent. It's super smooth, very precise, it really glides super well. Once I got some gestures set up in there, it's going to be a dream. Only problem: this 2 button layout. I've gotten used to a clicky trackpad, where two finger clicking does a right click, and going back to that seems a bit old school for me, but I'm sure some people will see this as an advantage.
It's a dream gaming laptop: beautiful without too much in the way of GAMER LOOKZ, apart from the RGB in the keyboard, and since the panel goes only to 1080p, the RTX2060 or up is largely enough to run at 144Hz and make sure you have a super smooth gaming experience.
Federated Services are services which many instances form a network to provide a greater whole than the sum of their parts, each participant in the Fediverse is an “instance”. A message or other item made available on one instance is visible and available on other instances.
We make these services available to all people who do not abuse it in order to promote the values of Free Speech, and those of the United States Constitution First Amendment. A free republic is not possible without free speech and commercial mainstream media do not provide it. We also get some advertisement benefit from hosting these, it is our hope that people who see how fast and responsible our services are will decide to do hosting or use other paid services here.
There are numerous federated services available, we offer Macrobloging platform Friendica, Hubzilla; Microbloging services Mastodon, Misskey, a federated search engine, Yacy, and a federated cloud service, Nextcloud.
Macrobloging services are message systems that allow long form posts similar in format to Facebook. These allow for works of fiction, poetry, technical papers, news items, short stories, and more. These formats are most useful for discussion of social issues.
Microbloging services allow only short form posts similar in format to Twitter. While you can link to larger articles elsewhere, you have a relatively short character limit and so can not post them directly.
Censorship, is handled much different on the fediverse than on mainstream media like Twitter or Facebook. On the fediverse, each individual instance is responsible for content available on that instance, but does not censor the rest of the network. Thus if you find the rules of one instance too constraining you can move to another.
Federated search engines are analogous to federated message systems in that each instance chooses what portion of the internet it wants to crawl. When you enter a search term, the local instance queries all of the federated instances, collates and sorts the results and presents them to you. As with messages, each instance can have it’s own censorship policies but no one instance can censor the entire network.
Given the wild-west nature of the fediverse, it is probably not suitable for children under 14, and you’re guaranteed to find some material that will offend virtually everyone. With federated search engines, material that is inappropriate will usually be flagged sensitive or nsfw (not safe for work) so as long as you don’t expand material marked as such, you can avoid this sort of material. There are occasionally people who violate these rules, we do our best to remove such individuals none the less some will get through.
We offer the following federated services:
Friendica.Eskimo.Com Friendica is a decentralized long format macrobloging message network. It is similar in format to facebook however there is no centralized censorship. Also, it is able to federate with all other federated message systems which use ActivityPub protocol and also we have extensions that allow it to speak to several other networks via other protocols.
Hubzilla.Eskimo.Com Hubzilla is similar in message format to Friendica in that it allows long posts. However, it specializes in it’s ability to provide connectivity to multiple protocols and so we include it in our mix of federated services primarily for the better connectivity it offers. Hubzilla provides a great deal of interoperability between many networks though ActivityPub is still it’s primary protocol. Hubzilla gives you a greater degree of control over privacy than some of the other networks. You can create private channels that are served between hubzilla instances and other compatible instances.
Mastodon.Eskimo.Com Mastodon is first and foremost an alternative to Twitter. While Twitter has Tweets, Mastodon has Toots. The format is very similar. Mastodon toots have a limit of 500 characters. Similar to the short limit of Twitter. This is why this platform is referred to as a Microbloging format. Mastodon interacts with other ActivityPub instances however when a long form blog post from another instance arrives, you are only shown a short portion with a link to follow to see the full post on the originating site.
NextCloud.Eskimo.Com If you are a customer of Eskimo North, your login credentials will work without a domain extension to access Nextcloud. If you are not a customer you can apply for a Nextcloud account using your choice of login and password, in this case the login should include your originating network. Some features require an Eskimo North shell account to take full advantage of.
Pixelfed.Eskimo.Com Pixelfed is a federated pixel gallery. A place where you can share your photos to the widest audience possible, and you can view what others have shared. Instance is new as of April 6th, 2025.
Yacy.Eskimo.Com Yacy is a federated search engine. There are several thousand instances on the Internet. Each instances crawls whatever portion of the web the administrator requested. It is also possible for the administrator of a site with relatively few resources to request a larger site to do crawls on their behalf. Unfortunately, it does not provide a method for an end user to initiate a crawl, but if you send e-mail to support@eskimo.com and request a crawl, we will initiate a crawl on your behalf.
If you enjoy these services, please consider supporting us by taking advantage of our paid services: https://www.eskimo.com/
Shell Accounts A shell is a command line interface for an operating system. With most shell providers, a command line interface on one flavor of Linux or Unix is all you get. Eskimo North provides access to eight different popular Linux distributions and SunOS Unix. Eskimo North also full remote desktop capabilities using X2Go with sound, and also NX, VNC, and RPD without sound.
Account Types We offer four different levels of shell accounts: Economy, Standard, Power, and Enterprise. Background tasks such as IRC bots, Game Servers, and the like are permitted on all account types except student. IRC servers are not permitted because of their tendency to draw denial of service attacks. Standard, Power, Enterprise, and Super-Max shells include a MySQL database allowing you to run a variety of LAMP stack based applications on your website and to use non-web based applications that require a database.
Web Hosting Web hosting under our domain is provided with all shell accounts. You can host your own domains with virtual domains or web hosting packages.
Remote Desktop Remote desktop capability is like having a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and speakers plugged right into our servers. Because our servers can be accessed anywhere in the world, this allows you to have a work environment you can access from anywhere in the world without risking losing your files to a laptop, tablet, or phone thief. We offer remote desktop capabilities on all of our shell servers except for the SunOS server. We support x2go, nx, vnc, and rdp protocols. X2go is the best choice as it provides extremely efficient compression and X round trip removal as well as sound.
Applications Applications include Office Suites such as Libre Office and Caligra (which can read and write Microsoft Office file formats), Web and Program Development tools such as Bluefish Editor as well as many other editors, compilers, interpreters, scripting languages, debuggers, profilers, and online documentation.
E-mail Our e-mail system offers unprecedented flexibility. You can access your mail via shell mail readers including graphical mailers like Thunderbird, or via Web mail, or via pop-3 and imap mail protocols, complete with TLS encryption. Our mail system includes Bayesian filtering with Spam Assassin which can be individually configured for your needs. Procmail allows you to sort and process mail automatically. Smartlist allows you to maintain mailing lists.
Security Access to all of our servers is available via strong encryption. The shell servers all support ssh access. All of the remote desktop protocols tunnel via ssh. We maintain all of our servers up to date keep with the latest patches. Backups are made weekly.
Eskimo North has been providing Unix timeshare services since 1985. We have been providing Linux timeshare, shell access, web hosting, e-mail, and Internet services since 1992. Please take a look at our services as they support our free Federated services including Friendica, Hubzilla, Mastodon, Nextcloud, Pixelfed, and Yacy Search.
Since I'm gonna be nebulizing saline 2x a day for the rest of my life, I'm trying different nebulizers. This silent mini one is not recommended by bronchiectasis forums because it can't be boiled and you're supposed to boil everything to Kill It With Fire. Some also say this "mesh" style breaks when used with hypertonic saline, which clogs the mesh. But this particular model is advertised for use with saline, so I plunked down the $$$ to try it. It's very small and cute. Has no breath activation feature so it gets saline mist everywhere; to spare my air purifiers I used it outside. Seems to work fine. Pic is of its "wash cycle," running pure distilled water. It's like a teeny cool-mist humidifier. Running distilled water through it gets the salt out, but to really clean it you run it with hydrogen peroxide, and the soak it in same, and then soak it in distilled water again. It will probably break in a month if used daily, but the mesh part is replaceable for $35, which is more than the cheapest mini models on Amazon cost. So, ever the intrepid product explorer, I just ordered a similar cheapo version and will test both to see which dies first. But not that often, because its, uh, front hole is a non-standard size and can't be attached to my Aerobika breath-exerciser thingy. On the other hand it easily fits in my bike bag which makes it a game-changer for long rides. I can always have this little sucker with me, so if I start coughing from crop dust or whatever, can give my lungs a cleaning mid-trip.
The Maw's Double Valved Earthenware Pottery Inhaler Bottle Replica is an advertising collectible depicting a medical pharmacy theme. This reproduction piece, measuring 9" in height and 5" in width, is designed in ivory and blue colors.
@ninapaleyGrok says: "The "Maw's Double Valved Earthenware Inhaler," produced by S. Maw, Son & Thompson in London, was a notable example from the late 1800s, specifically around the 1860s to 1901. These ceramic devices, often used to inhale medicated vapors or steam, became popular in England for treating chest illnesses like asthma or bronchitis. They typically involved a sponge soaked in treatments, such as opium or herbal infusions, and hot water to generate vapors, with a valved mouthpiece to control inhalation. By 1881, such inhalers were affordable, costing about 5 shillings (25p), and were widely available at local chemists"

@Church of Jeff That's a level of arrogance I can't even begin to comprehend, and just to make a point, being an atheist does not make you non-religious because atheism is itself a belief system and is belief that there is no God is unprovable as belief that there is a God. The only thing that differentiates an atheist from a theist is that the theist at least has some motivation to act in a moral manner, where the atheist has none, and I'm guessing for you that's the appeal to it.
@jeffowski@mastodon.world I'll gladly take the potential for an eternity in Hell over the bullshit Christians sling. Hell sounds like a fucking *vacation* compared to anything that Christians are offering. Hell definitely has my kind of people apparently.
Trump administration is reportedly preparing to cancel a large amount of federal funding for California, potentially starting as early as Friday.
Agencies are being instructed to identify grants that can be withheld from California, with the University of California and California State University systems being specifically targeted.
The U.S. labor market added 139,000 jobs in May, but the economy saw a loss of 696,000 workers in the household survey.
Three sectors - healthcare, hospitality, and social assistance - accounted for over 90% of the job gains. Manufacturing, construction, and temp work saw declines.
Wages rose 0.4% in May and 3.9% year-over-year, with wage inflation a concern for the Federal Reserve.
got a bit of a headache when i woke up from my nap for some unknown reason. i haven't taken tylenol in many weeks which means i must be doing something right, i guess. probably from welding flux and grinding fumes this morning under the car is my guess.
i normally don't like to do flux core welding except on metal that is dirty and can't easily be cleaned, like car exhaust pipes. tig is just way nicer and cleaner but not that easy to get under a car
it's becoming apparent why the demon rats were so interested in their MS13 gang member friend from el salvador kilmar garcia, going to visit him and trying so hard to bring him back - he was a high level cartel human smuggler and they were completely in on it and working directly with the cartels
i've said this many times, nobody crosses that border without paying the cartels money. if they do they're taking a huge risk. the democrats and deep state know this and they have a long history of working with cartels on all sorts of other nefarious activities like smuggling drugs and guns
I do not think the original post, by Enrico Weigelt, to the xorg-devel mailinglist made its way thru, tho freebsd-x11 was CC'd.
Anyways, if anyone missed it, here it is:
Hello everybody,
this morning, Redhat employees banned me from the freedesktop.org gitlab infrastructure - so censored all my work (not just on Xorg). They killed my account, my git repos, my tickets in Xorg and closed all my merge requests. And then making fun on social media about it.
They fired the shot that's heared around the world.
So much for freedesktop.org being "independent" and embracing freedom. Perhaps we should nominate them for the next Orwell award.
It's now clear that freedesktop.org is the Redskirts, and they want to kill X. By the way, the same corporation that tied to proprietarize a lot of FOSS code, including the Linux kernel (and I've been one of those who warned them about terminating our license grants them).
My most evil heresies probably were:
a) forking Xorg and making actual progress b) talking to a journalist whose name must not be spoken in many other Redhat/IBM tax evasion outlets, like GNOME (they're also banning honorable long time contributors for just mentioning that name) c) inviting anybody to join me, without discrimination
I don't know why, but it really looks they're quite scared by one guy that's just trying to actually bring X11 forward. Hard to find he right words for telling how honored I'm about that.
This didn't actually surprise me, I knew this would be coming for about a year now. Just didn't expect them to do such an extremely irrational and dumb move. Now I'm taking great pleasure seeing the Streisand effect kicking in (my inbox is exploding). Thanks for that great publicity.
It's not the first time this happens in FOSS world, and it's not the first time it's happening in X: remember what Xfree86 board did to the honorable Keith Packard, back about two decades ago - what lead to the birth of Xorg and the death of Xfree86. Same is happening again.
History repeats itself.
And now the Redskirts placed me onto the same stage as the great honorable Keith Packard. WOOOOW.
Just to be clear, I didn't want to fork, I tried my best to work together with the Xorg team. But I knew for long time, this day would come. Xorg has been captured by Redhat, in order to get rid of destroy competition. The necessary consequence is a fork, more competition.
For those interested in bringing X forward, feel free to join the mailing list:
I'm expecting to be banned from whole freedesktop.org mail system, too. Excommunication unfortunately had become a common thing in the so-called "free software" world - GNOME is just one of many examples. So if you don't hear anymore from me on freedesktop.org lists, you know what's going on.
I've got Intel Internal UHD630 graphics and as a result can use the Kernel based X-server. Does not make sense to go to a userland server unless it offers some substantial benefits. What is unique to the Libre Xserver?
This guy's fix of a 13y old xserver bug was reverted because the fork he made to apply the patch was deleted, so the merge request was reverted after it had been approved.
@Nanook if you can locate the offended subjected and invite him to the discussion I believe he would be best able to explain your question
I thought it would be of interest here being a very critical community of IBM/RH products. Unlike many other projects we do like the Alan Coopersmith of X/Wayland has been one of the most helpful and polite persons ever encountered in FOSS-land.
We shouldn't forget what we have here is a for-profit corporation and we are outsiders, clients, customers. Behind closed doors, what happens in IBM stays in IBM.
The list of the associated provider's capabilities was always swapped unconditionally, while it should only be in case of client having opposite endianess. Reported-By: dasha_uwu Signed-off-by:...
@joborun linux I've got three Redhat based servers, a Fedora, A Rocky8, and an Alma8, not going to nine because of the lack of support for NIS, and I've got an antique Centos 6 server that is still serving one UUCP customer. The rest of my infrastructure is mostly Ubuntu 24.04 based. My workstation is Ubuntu 24.04 based, so Redhat is not horridly relevant since the only time I use the displays on the Redhat machines is via x2go. Mostly just curious if there was a better alternative to the kernel based X server, Wayland definitely isn't it.
This just tells me you are 100% systemd dependent, you know no other way. What I would suspect is that you wouldn't even take the chance of trying something else and moving it.
systemd open bugs and security issues are between 4 and 5 digit at all times through its history.
runit in the past 10 years has had one bug ?? its code wasn't kept up to latest glibc library and had to be touched up/patched, which was done 9 months ago. Now we are down to boring 0.
But if you really want to get into complex server service supervision and dependency management you need a little study of s6 and maybe 66 (see Obarun). This is state of the art. skarnet.org has been up and running for years, it serves mail, git, web, mailing lists, who knows what else, and it publishes its record of down time instances (even power failures)
Void was one of the first distributions that adopted systemd, it has been running runit ever since getting out of it. Debian 7 (not that long ago, didn't have systemd, it was introduced in Debian 8). s6 and 66 have been supported by unofficial repositories
The term "modern" has been heavily abused by the "gang" it is an empty term providing zero rational arguments of why "modern" is better and in what way is it "modern".
sinit is proof that as far as init goes all you need is a few lines of code, with "modern" equipment the difference in performance between sinit and systemd is measured in nanoseconds. Init is done and finished as commonly known stage 1, which also creates the escape route for the final stage (call it Z) of shutdown or its more complex alternative, reboot. What goes on between stage 1 and stage Z is init irrelevant, should be and should have been. The frozen empty argument that systemd floats as defense is that it is better than sysvinit or BSD scripts, because it can start all those things in stage 1 in parallel, one process doesn't have to wait for another. When you say that daemontools, perp, anope, runit, s6 do the same but in a better more efficient way they pretend that those systems copied systemd. If you turn their argument around on them and call them "modern" they will point out that they are older than systemd, daemontools are. So you can never really hold a rational argument with the religious clergy of the linux-hydra. Their thought is as clear as any clergy discussing astrophysics.
The clue is that if you package OpenRC (a sysvinit improvement) runit, s6, and sinit, and combine them in one superpackage to coexist in one system (they can) the space of this package is less than half of systemd. You can use them on BSD, on solaris, or any unix fork, while system is only useable in linux.
So funding for this evil kernel and the owners of this systemd X/wayland complexity is one, the goals are now clear, and the make MS even look innocent in tactics and development.
I gave you a link above to study if you are trully interested, but please don't come here with IBM fanboy tactics to tell us off.
MX is nothing without antiX, just a theme creator. The only difference between MX and debian is pid1, the rest is just like debian. So not a true distro, just a theme creator like Mint or Ubuntu or Manjaro.
Basically any of those fake distros claiming to be systemd-free using elogind are just fakes, advertising the technicality/legality that pid1 is NOT systemd, but everything else is! Gentoo and Void are the latest to turn rogue and adopt it, artix, MX, devuan were designed since day1 to utilize it.
Like emperor Trump says, those with wealth and power can enforce their irrational will against any rational system of thought. Rationalists are public enemies. God Bless AmeriKKKa!
So, yes, systemd is better, it is modern!
And I need to get back to work, because I don't get paid to debate or run upgrades.
How much difference there is in performance between system-v init and systemd is a function of how many things are started up and how many cores you got and if your drives are fast enough to keep up. On my i9-10980xe boxes, I have 18 cores and I've got them clocked at 4.5Ghz and 256GB of RAM, root partition is on RAID 1 NVME, systemd is a definite win in this situation.
I think you missed my pun about sysvinit and 20th century relics.
What init is and what services are "started" up is a very blurry picture due to systemd.
This is stage 1 in runit (+ bootlogd optional) Anything else is stage2, they may seem hierarchical by traditional thought, but not many wait for the previous to finish . s6 goes a step beyond this and doesn't separate runit-init with runsvdir (service supervisor) it is all one process that supervises all services, and is able to log and provide a tty earlier than any other system. Advantages handy for deep enterprise commercial grade systems, not for home/hobby users. For us runit is plenty.
I have to disagree about MX-Linux... it's not just Debian with some window dressing tied on. It includes a very nice GUI toolbox for things like making a bootable copy of an installed OS, a Live kernel updater, a USB formatter, etc. I know there are terminal commands for these jobs, but a desktop user like me doesn't care to fool around with the terminal and, I'm downright phobic using the terminal. I feel like I'd mash the wrong button and accidentally ignite the Earth's atmosphere and wipe out all life on the planet or something. Gimme the point-and-click stuff any day.
That said, however: I see the whole Linux ecosystem being corrupted by Big Tech money from Microshit, Red Hat, IBM, Google, all those guys. BSD is largely free of all that Big Money corruption and politicization. Which is why I've been experimenting with a desktop OS based on FreeBSD. For me it's as much about ethics as just about anything else.
Beware of the enemies of your enemies are not always your friends. Some of those people have spent such a long time in the corporate world they have incorporated the madness into their own thinking and practices. Go some days back and this guy was perfectly confortable "helping out" IBM improve its image as a FOSS contributor. Now things changed.
Alan Coopersmith of Oracle who approved this guys MR for a bug fix replies to the list on the whereabout of this long term contributor as if the matter is about him being thrown off the list for "spamming" with his email having too many recepients. So the email where this guy is reporting and venting steam for being unjustifiably thrown off is WELL moderated because of too many Cc: recepients.
There is nothing good or of value coming off authoritarian gangsters serving their corporate agendas (profit and more profit, domination, dictatorial ruling of markets and slave-work whose exploitation can be translated to $$$$).
What happened to consolekit when IBM/RH (and don't dare correct me that back then RH wasn't IBM, RH was IBM long before systemd was announced .. a well fed child of IBM consulting .. a trojan horse into FOSS/linux ) . What happened to udev when they decided to incorporated into the hydra of code?
Why are so many upstream projects pushed to incorporate systemd mechanisms into their code? To alienate BSD and other unix forks and leave linux as a corporate puppet to creat the new IBM/Oracel-PC-Windows full of trojans and backdoors as their "client" prescribed! Russian and Chinese corporate employees need not apply!
Is Gnu sticking its finger deep into the deep-state/corporate honey? I'd be surprised if they are not the host of the gangster party.
#linux is bound to become a corporate non-free product, and there is little we can do to resist, especially if we are consuming "modern" hardware having specific demands of later kernels later gfx firmware latest X/way So take your i9-ultras and Ryzen-9s and dump them as toxic waste!
I’m downright phobic using the terminal. I feel like I’d mash the wrong button and accidentally ignite the Earth’s atmosphere and wipe out all life on the planet or something. Gimme the point-and-click stuff any day.
To be phobic of a terminal is one thing, to blindly accept a nuclear reactor under your bed to power you alarm clock is another. Some friend with similar tendencies who kept being convinced of living systemd-free but slipping back into the needle (Arch), used the argument all he cared about was to have his usb-stick mount and show in his filemanager when he inserted it so he can click and drag files into the "stick", or read a cd/dvd once it was inserted in the optimal medium drive. So I wrote a few lines of a script chmod it into 0755, told him to save it on his desktop as an icon (filemanager maximized without borders with a background image) and asked him to click on it when he entered the stick (so it wouldn't run and parse system directories all day just in case a stick was inserted). I told him within 3-4" the writable/readable partitions of the stick would appear on the list of media on the side of his filemanager, whether ntfs or ext they were there. I also asked him how many hard disk drives he had in his system so the script wouldn't have to account for such, it would just read /dev/sdc /dev/sdd ..
But instead you have logind, polkit, dbus, sysusers, .. running all day, huge amounts of code, just to be able to do this one thing, automount an external disk and make it appear in filemanager.
I do know that this script would have to become more complex for general/generic use to all systems but it can also be edited by non-coder capable users just as easy to make it work well in a particular system.
So there is much gray area between working on console, not even a graphic terminal, and having a full blown carnival of Gnome or Plasma to deal with as overhead.
You mean which desktop environment, I assume... the default is MATE, and there's an unofficial Xfce version available. No one owns either one. But, I really think you just want to pick a fight with anyone who uses anything you don't approve of, so just count me out of this discussion.
We are talking of X11 Xorg-server ... wm is a layer/application over the Xserver and DT is over a WM
Fortunately I don’t deal with much of that stuff
If not X then what, I was asking, it has been around long before linux and the BSD fork of unix Even its license includes companies that no longer exist, like SGI, SUN, DEC ...
