Idk, not doing things because they "don't matter" is a lot of how we got here in the first place.

Lots of only, "playing to win" while ignoring anything that wasn't on the specific map to winning.

Three TD 114 yards, eh, its a start.

No, he always wanted it to be wechat but misses the fact that its basically required for Chinese citizens to use.

Lol, he wants it to be wechat but forgets that everyone uses it because its a government sanctioned monopoly.

No one wants a dating/chat/payment/microbloging/uber app.

Link your ride data to your dating profile? What could go wrong you fucking donkey.

To be fair, every part of it is a small binary that generally does a single thing. You don't have to run them all or even install them but they bring a lot of necessary functionality around base host bootstrapping that everyone used to write in shell for every distro.

I find it nice as an operators of multiple infrastructures to be able to log into a Linux system and have all the hosts bootstrapped in a relatively similar fashion with common tools.

Sysv kinda sucked because everyone had to do it all themselves. Then we got sysv, openrc, upstart and then systems and there was a while there where you never knew what you'd get if you logged into a box. And oh look, I gotta remember 10 different config file locations and syntaxes to assign an IP. Different syntaxes to start a daemon. Do I need to install a supervisor or does that come with the init.

People are doing a lot of really cool stuff with Linux OSs assigning IP addresses in 10 different ways or starting programs was never one of them.

Its also not that systemd has a monopoly, there are other init systems out there, but all the big distros, RH, Debian, ubuntu, arch . . . all came to the same decision that it was the best available init and adopted it. There are other options and any one of those projects is big enough to maintain its own init, but no one really finds the value in dedicating reaources, so they haven't.

I hear it's completely ready but they only built an ipv6 stack so as soon as everything finishes the quick migration to ipv6 we can all switch to it.

Yes, WebDAV will max your local connection. Its generally not the encryption that makes ssh slow but the fact that it is designed to give real time terminal feedback. In order for you to see each letter typed in an ssh session, the buffers are really small and it intentionally sends a tone of small packets. Great for single characters bad for large file transfer.

Its OK here and then when you need to push a config file or something but moving large files is not really what its designed for and consequently, it sucks.

Well, for starters, tftp is the wrong thing for local file transfers if you want it to be fast. The only reason its still around is because its simple and offer the only file transfer protocol that is built into the firmware of the network card.

You read that right, its a simple file transfer protocol built into every network card made in the last couple decades.

Your best bet for file transfer is probably something like a WebDAV server. Which next cloud can handle for you. You can just enable normal WebDAV on something like httpd but then you gotta handle authentication yourself. (Or allow local and connect with VPN)

Its all I'm leaving my kids

Do remember that the US auto manufacturers realistically only make a few cars per year vs the 375 million people living in the us. 10 million per year is a third of a percent. Add another 10 mil for imports and we're still under a percent.

Second, I run a fleet of kobos for the family, they alsonwork pretty well with the libraries around the area which the kids love.

Wish, I don't have enough gum to pull it off.
