Systemdumbass

This is how awesome systemd is:

I physically moved a Linux server from one place to another.

The server had two separate dual-port NICs with one port on each NIC bonded (teamed, in Windows’ terms). It had worked fine for almost a year.

Then I moved the server and re-connected the NICs — using a photograph, so I know it was correct (verified it three times).

After the move, systemd had moved/mis-identified one of the ports in the bond, so even though the cables were plugged in correctly (I had a photo — easy to verify), one half of the bond was not functional. (In other words, a port that systemd had called “Bill” was now called “Jennifer.” Since the bond software identifies ports by name, it was thus broken.)

So something that worked for 10 years in Linux without a problem is now completely unpredictably non-functional due to systemd.

That’s quality, right there.

Well, it is good that le Pen lost but not that Macron won.

Either way, the losers will be the French people and the world — just as in the 2016 election in the US.

Neoliberalism will die, but it’s gonna take a lot of us out at the same time in its death throes.
