Interviewer: "What software do you use?"

Greg Kroah-Hartman: "Linux everywhere of course. On the desktop I am running the openSUSE Tumbleweed distribution (a rolling version of openSUSE that provides the latest stable packages) as I'm the one responsible for that distribution. I run Gentoo Linux on my servers and my build machine. I am trying out Arch Linux on my MacBook as I wanted to see how that distro was due to hearing good things about it. So far I'm impressed with it, and given that openSUSE doesn't work on the MacBook Pro yet, I'm sticking with it for now.

For daily use, I live in mutt and vim for email and editing. I use offlineimap for syncing email around on all of the different systems I use. To send email I rely on msmtp to be able to handle queueing of emails when I do not have any connectivity (like on airplanes). git for source code control in dealing with Linux kernel patches as well as other more mundane stuff (email archiving, configuration files, etc.) I use quilt on top of git for handling the Linux kernel stable patch set as the workflow there does not lend itself to a pure git environment.

For desktop environment, on my workstation, I use GNOME 3, despite me complaining about it all the time. On my laptop I've converted over to using the i3 window manager, on top of the GNOME 3 session handling logic. Give me a few more weeks and I might just move my desktop over to that environment as well - I'm finding that i3 is really good for my use cases (lots of terminal windows open, virtual screens, and fast keyboard navigation of everything.) For a web browser I switch between Firefox and Chrome every few weeks for no valid reason.

My Nexus 7 tablet is running the nightly CyanogenMod releases and have had no problems at all with it. My Galaxy Nexus phone is running the stock Jelly Bean release from Google, no modifications."

I think you misunderstand what that really means. He doesn't need to do anything, the threat of accusation is enough. Do you really think a completely made up, false accusation of "Linus Torvalds groped me at a convention" would not irreparably damage his reputation? I clearly don't need to tell you at this point how deeply infected by leftism the entire field of computing is (the CoC wouldn't exist if this wasn't the case). Never blame the victim, right?

Plus we know for a fact this rape accusation shit is coordinated. It's all a power grab. There is a clique of dirty, appallingly evil people in tech who stand to greatly benefit from either having Torvalds out of the picture entirely, or at the command of their every whim. They could use the immeasurable public outrage at him over a "rape accusation" to force him to step down, or, as they appear to have done, hold the threat of this in his face and feed him a script to read. It wouldn't surprise me of Linus is getting orders directly from Google. Linux bows to Google, Google bows to the NSA.

This is true.

SystemD mounts efi as writeable by default allowing for overwriting of firmware.

The argument isn't that it shouldn't be possible to overwrite the firmware however, it's that it shouldn't be the default as people who have no idea about that specific part or even care wouldn't be using it, and it makes it way to easy for someone to brick their system.

>SystemD mounts efi as writeable by default allowing for overwriting of firmware.

Why would this be the default behavior? How exactly do they justify this? If the firmware needed overwriting, then it should either be the users job to unlock write permissions on the firmware partition, or in some cases it should be the job of the firmware flashing software. I know Systemd gets a lot of flack for its retarded decisions but usually there is some justification there. I fail to see how this can be justified.


 No.976245>>976246

>>976223

>Why would this be the default behavior

Something about certain services needing the ability to write to it

>How exactly do they justify this

It's the UNIX way to do things. If the user makes a mistake it's there fault and they should accept all the consequences of their actions. Any help from the system is handholding and is discouraged.


 No.976246>>976250

>>976245

>Something about certain services needing the ability to write to it

Why do said services need their hands held? If a service needs to write to firmware, it should have the capability of enabling write permissions by itself.

>It's the UNIX way to do things. If the user makes a mistake it's there fault and they should accept all the consequences of their actions. Any help from the system is handholding and is discouraged.

Aside from the fact systemd by design throws the UNIX philosophy out the window to begin with, typically these things are built around a level of common-sense design. Which at least in this particular use case is anything but common sense. If you really want to go off about muh UNIX philosophy, then a true UNIX-like system would leave everything RO until absolutely necessary, and/or only when its explicitly called to be able to write to it.


 No.976250>>976258

>>976246

>it should have the capability of enabling write permissions by itself

Maybe the services are not run as root, so it could not mount by itself.

>Aside from the fact systemd by design throws the UNIX philosophy out the window to begin with

"The UNIX philosophy", is pretty vague and let's you pick and choose what parts of it you want to follow. Not even UNIX follows "the UNIX philosophy."


 No.976258

>>976250

>Maybe the services are not run as root, so it could not mount by itself.

If said service needs to write to firmware in any way it shouldn't even be called by itself, you retard. I personally never gave a fuck about the Systemd vs sysvinit debate but nobody should be an apologist for inherently flawed design. Hold the programs you use to higher standards my man.
