Benno Rice gave a talk at the last BSDCAN about systemd from a BSD perspective, "The Tragedy of systemd", and I wrote a rebuttal on my blargh:

##slackware-help community support update

Posted 04-07-2018 at 06:09 PM by ttk (Unpopular Positions: One Geek's Take)

There is a ravenbot in ##slackware-help now providing one-line summaries of Slackware64-current ChangeLog entries as they appear:

Code:

2018-04-07 15:01:49 * ravenbot ChangeLog updated: 10 packages: btrfs-progs-v4.16, sysstat, kdev-python, exiv2, glib, glib2, pango, slang, dhcpcd and 1 more

It also notes kernel versions when there's a kernel upgrade, counts CVEs when an update patches security vulnerabilities, and gets appropriately excited when it detects a new Slackware...

systemd haters resource page

Posted 09-20-2017 at 11:05 PM by ttk (Unpopular Positions: One Geek's Take)

I've been putting links to relevant systemd resources into this page for my own reference, but enough folks have appreciated it that I thought y'all might like it too:

New ##slackware-help community support channel on Freenode

Posted 08-23-2017 at 04:58 PM by ttk (Unpopular Positions: One Geek's Take)

A new channel for providing Slackware community support has been created on Freenode.

It is similar to the previous existing ##slackware channel, in both charter and composition (a lot of the users in ##slackware-help are also in ##slackware).

The differences are mostly of tone and technology -- the new channel has a factoid-bot for easily pointing newbies to existing resources. For instance:

Code:

Reorganizing My Personal Programming Projects

Posted 08-04-2017 at 04:05 PM by ttk (Unpopular Positions: One Geek's Take)

I've been working somewhat directionlessly on my various programming side-projects, and decided to take a couple of days to organize them all a bit and decide on some priorities.

The numbers came up better than I'd feared -- of my seventy-one projects (11 C projects, 2 python projects, 50 perl projects), twenty-two are in working condition. That's nearly a third of them! Six of those projects have been published, either to CPAN or to github or to my own codecloset web page.
