They really are turning the frogs gay

Yes, unstructured. Every script is its own special snowflake that does things a bit differently.

There’s no guarantee of the verbs that the script implements. start, stop and restart are common, but the implementation is up to each individual script. I’m most familiar with Debian where some service (but not all) implemented it with start-stop-daemon, but other distros and OSes handled it differently.

Basic, commonly needed functionality, like restarting a crashed service after waiting for some delay, need to be implemented per app.

When sysvinit was widespread, there was a reason a lot of people used systems line supervisord to deploy services, rather than dealing with sysvinit scripts. It was a pain.

Systemd units were a logical progression from supervisord services.

Do you have any actual problems with systemd, or do you just want SysV init scripts to stick around forever?

Maybe systemd isn’t the best, but it’s way better than a bunch of mostly unstructured shell scripts, and more secure (it’s pretty easy to reduce privileges, sandbox the filesystem, restrict syscalls, etc per service just by editing the unit file)

I use chezmoi and chezmoi_modify_manager to keep my dotfiles (including some KDE configs) in a Git repo, and it works well enough.

I have the opposite problem. It tells me to return the item to the bagging area even though I didn’t remove anything. I end up throwing my keys or shopping bag or something into the bagging area to make it happy

I want more of these thanks.

to shut down its servers, so now it’s dumb as a rock and next to useless.

I hate this so much. There’s no reason a robot vacuum should require internet access to function. Companies only do it for tighter control of their products, to track your usage, to have the ability to paywall features, and to have the ability to disable it so you have to buy a new one.

I still don’t understand the three month discounts lol. Seems like a bunch of insurance plans have it. With my insurance, you can either get one month, or three months’ worth for the exact same price as one month, so I’m not sure why anyone would ever get refills monthly.

I’m very thankful that my employers covers almost all the cost of my (and my wife’s) insurance. My wife is self-employed so it’d be pretty expensive if she needed to get her own health insurance.

Wow, nice! Keep it up.

Ah that sucks. I didn’t know that. My wife uses a similar medication and thankfully our insurance covers it so it’s only $10/month. We’re Aussies living in the USA, and GLP-1 meds aren’t covered by Australia’s public health care system yet, so right now it’s actually cheaper in the USA than in Australia.

In Australia, medications covered by the public health care system (Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme) are a maximum of $25 for most people, and $7.70 for low-income families. It currently covers 930 different medications, and 7/10 people in Australia use at least one covered medication. However, uncovered medications cost the full retail price, which is still almost always cheaper than the USA.

I want to give myself glp1 drugs, but i didn’t want to pay $1000 for a dose, so i want to buy it overseas. Illegal.

I’m not sure of the efficacy of the pills vs the injections, but in the USA you can get Wegovy pills for $149/month now, which AFAIK is roughly the same price as other countries.

please sir may I have a few more pixels?

In suburban areas of the US and Canada, mixed use buildings are generally not allowed.

Mixed use meaning retail space one the ground level with apartments/ condos above.

Really? I’ve seen plenty of “luxury” apartment buildings with an overpriced fancy grocery store on the bottom floor.

Not just California. Several other US states are considering (or will be rolling out) similar laws, and Brazil’s version has already rolled out this month.

They were hours apart, though.

I couldn’t not.

You could not not?

I don’t think WINE would work, because it likely relies on a custom driver.

If you don’t have a Windows installation, booting into a WinPE LiveCD (like Sergei Strelec’s WinPE: https://m.majorgeeks.com/files/details/sergei_strelecs_winpe.html) and installing it in the live environment should work. Running Windows in a VM should work too, if you pass the USB drive through to the VM.

Did anyone suggest using black electrical tape yet?

I miss playable demos, where you could play part of a game to see if you like it. I played so many shareware games and demo CDs when I was young.
