    Is it r-unit, or run-it?

    I’ve read it as r-unit for so long and now I’ve only just realised that run-it makes far more sense

        Ok, just stop complaining. Almost everyone else disagrees and most of the community doesn’t even know that there is a different init system. Systemd was widely accepted 6 years ago and we have moved on.

        The good news is that you don’t have to use it. The bad news is pretty much everyone expects you to be using it.

    Runit, making systems easily pwnable since 2004 🎉

    • Step 1: Make a system service run as root
    • Step 2: Give service a runlevel that starts it at boot
    • Step 3: Make the file modifiable by a normal user
    • Step 4: ???
    • Step 5: pwned

    Wow much philosopy. Is great. Incredible chievement. Very pressive!

      I don’t support calling people who volunteer their time to develop free software “just shit”, but I can’t help but agree at least a little bit about redhat. Redhat is kind of like Richard Nixon: if you just assume that eveything you dislike is their fault, you would be right surprisingly often.

      • “Predictable” interface naming
      • avahi
      • dbus

      That being said, they did also contribute to a lot of kickass software, from btrfs to Firefox to linux namespaces to qemu to pipewire, as well as to software that you can’t really live without like glibc or gdb. So I guess the converse also holds: if you just assume that everything you like is there thanks to redhat, you would be correct pretty often as well. Can’t really say that about Nixon though.
