  • Have you ever tried to use Upstart? It was afwul, in practice it was worse than sysvinit+lsb, in a time one woukd thought any new init system can be better.

    There was no way to properly define any complex servixe dependencies, especially with optional or alternative components. And making mistake in defining service forking behaviour would open lock the system down so it could not be cleanly shut down. Those were serious flaws in both design an implementation.

    I made a mistake trying to use it in a Linux distribution I was co-developing. So much time an effort lost, when we could directly switch to systemd. But systemd was described as ‘work in progress’ an Upstart ‘practically production ready’ then.






  • Do you even know what we are talking about? The migrants in question are not Russians. They are asylum seekers, people from Middle East or and Africa, tricked by Russians, Belarusians and smugglers into taking the route through Polish eastern border when looking for a better life in the West. They are denied asylum, brutally pushed back to Belarus (which pushes them back to Poland), often dying in the forest and swamps.

    In fact Russians (most probable insurgents), as white people, would get much easier pass there.

    And I am not talking about ‘accepting blindly’ anyone crossing the border. Just following the law (Polish and international ) and some human decency (like providing health care for sick and wounded) would do.




  • Yes, recently a lot of people came here. With various skin colours. From the East, from the South, but even from the West (a lot of Americans would rather live here). I love seeing them in my city, hearing all those different languages. Also: Ukrainian shops, Georgian bakeries, various Asian restaurants – these make the city a better place to live for everybody.

    But there are people who chose hatred instead. Of course only those with darker skin are considered threat. Or speaking Russian-like language (which includes Ukrainians and Belarusians).

    When no migrants were coming here the nationalists/racists were mostly ridiculous, but now they are great threat to many people who live here, or just come here for a visit.






  • I send mail directly. I have a public IP address. I had to remove it (a few times) from a list of ‘dynamically residential address space’. I have configured the server carefully and implemented SPF, DKIM and DMARC. I have proper revDNS records. Currently my mail doesn’t seem to be considered SPAM by Google or others more often than other mails.

    When filters consider some mail spam there usually is a reason. The trick is to find the reason and understand how to mitigate it. Some anti-spam measures are not fair (like blanket blocking whole countries or ISPs), but I was lucky enough not to be bothered by those.
