mike-burnsThe systemd init is pretty OK, from what I've seen. The issue is everything else. [06:23]

acf_idk I used to be really anti-systemd
but tbh I only need to touch it for starting / stopping / creating services
and logs
and for that it seems much cleaner than sysvinit ever was
I have had systemd explode a couple times
last time was probably 2 years ago
it got into some strange tightloop where it was using 100% CPU and not processing requests
[13:06]
mike-burnsYeah, its init seems pretty OK. [13:08]
acf_what I'm really against though
the "ip" command
ifconfig forever
[13:09]
mike-burnsHah.
I find it surprising that they needed to rename the command instead of fixing ifconfig.
[13:09]
acf_what was wrong with it to begin with? [13:10]
mike-burnsGood question! [13:10]
acf_tbf a lot of the fancy new linux features would probably be hard to wedge in there
and for those I use ip
but I find ip commands to be annoyingly long for simple stuff
ip link addr add blah blah
ifconfig eth0 inet blah
[13:10]
mike-burnsOpenBSD puts all their network config in ifconfig, including wifi. It's a long manpage but at least its coherent. [13:11]
acf_yeah that's another thing
ifconfig is at least vaguely cross platform
[13:11]
mike-burnsIn that you can learn the basics and use something like it on other platforms, yeah. [13:12]
acf_yeah I mean it is certainly not standardized
but I think "ifconfig eth0 inet 10.0.0.2/24 up" works on essentially every platform
[13:14]
mike-burnsRight. Not always `eth0` but the same principle applies.
`ifconfig -a` seems to work everywhere I've tried.
[13:15]
acf_yeah exactly. when I'm on an unfamiliar box, I always start with ifconfig -a to figure out the interface, then configure it
although I remember Solaris giving me a pain
[13:16]

mercutioi ilke the ip command [14:07]
..... (idle for 20mn)
mhoranI can never find what I want in the ip command output.
It's just way too verbose.
I'm so used to ifconfig.
[14:27]
mercutioas long as you konow what you're looking for it's not so bad
i often do ip -4 addr or ip -6 addr too
to get which i want
[14:39]
mhoranI never know what I'm looking for when ipv6 is broken. [14:43]

mnathanisystemctl enable bind, is that a systemd command? [15:46]
....... (idle for 31mn)
mercutioyes [16:17]
mnathaniI like those
its nice to be able to use the same command across ubuntu, debian, centos and arch
I wouldnt know how to write the equivalent of an init script for systemd though, to turn an app into a service
[16:22]
mkboh they're not that hard to write
they're in like /lib/systemd
use find the find the one with bind in the name... should be like 10 lines
[16:25]
....... (idle for 34mn)
mercutiothey're quite easy to read tbh
easier than shell scripts
[16:59]
acf_yeah that's probably the best thing about systemd
the service files
it's literally an ini file
so much better than sysvinit
