#Podman als Zwischenstufe von #Docker zu #Kubernetes.
Ich hatte allerdings gehofft, er geht etwas auf das Pod-Konzept ein. Aber egal, war trotzdem wieder sehr lehrreich.

Nun gut - der Schritt von #docker zu #podman ist getan und Dank #podman-compose läuft unsere #Nextcloud quasi 1:1 seit 8 Monaten stabil.
Es wird Zeit, den zweiten Schritt zu tun: Den Compose-Rotz in einen #Pod zu migrieren, um dann rootless Port 80 und 443 anzubieten und einfache #systemd - Integration in einem Rutsch zu erhalten.
Hab' ja noch keinen Schimmer, wie ich vorgehen soll...

if #wayland had been called #X12, lol. (heard on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEjsRil0jJ8 )
and so... if #systemd had been called #sysv6 to supercede #sysv5 ...
and if #pulseaudio had been called #alsa2 of #jack whatever,
#adoption [, #onboarding ] would have slipstreamed? n_n X3
... or... maybe that sounds like #embraceextendextinguish and shouldnt give monopolists and their usurper agents ideas. ;p
In the world of Linux, few debates have stirred as much controversy as the battle between the traditional System V init system, often known as SysVinit, and the newer systemd.
systemd is a system and service manager, first introduced in 2010 to replace the traditional System V init system. It was designed to improve boot-up speeds and manage system services more efficiently. Today, systemd is the default init system for many popular Linux distributions, including Ubuntu, Fedora, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Despite the name, systemd is not a daemon. Instead, it’s a software suite that provides a number of system components for Linux. Its goal: to standardize service configuration and behavior across Linux distributions.
Personally, I have no preference at all. It’s there, and I use it sometimes when I need to change or troubleshoot something. My take on it really is that Linux has many options and therefore there will always be differences of opinion, just like we also have for all the “best” Linux distros. When do you ever hear Windows users passionately debating for or against the Yellow and Blue version of Windows? You don’t, because they don’t have those options. And for macOS, of course, Steve knows best…
I think most newer Linux users have not really experienced the pre-systemd era, and also probably don’t delve much into where systemd is actually changed much. With modern Linux there is less and less reason to delve down into systemd unless you are in the habit of experimenting, learning, pulling things apart. But sometimes the topic flares up, so it is interesting to hear a bit about what and why.

I have to say that even if it does not bring many new features, I'm quite excited about the fact that #UbuntuTouch is now based on 20.04 and not 16.04. Sure, 20.04 still is old but it should now be much easier to change the base version now that the switch to #systemd is done. I already saw a phone running on 23.04 beta!
Systemd is a modern software suite that provides many components on a Linux system including a system and service manager. It is compatible with SysV and LSB init scripts and works as a replacement for sysvinit.
For easier management, units are categorized into several types: target, service, socket, device, mount, automount, swap, path, timer, snapshot, slice, scope, and busname.
A systemd service is defined in a unit file (a unit is a representation of a service and system resources such as devices, sockets, mount points, etc.). Custom service unit files should be stored in the /etc/systemd/system/ directory and must have an .service extension. For example, a custom test-app service uses /etc/systemd/system/test-app.service unit file.
A unit file is a plain text ini-style file that usually includes three common sections. The first section is usually the Unit section which carries generic information about the unit that is not dependent on the type of unit.
The next section is the unit type section, for a service, it is a Service section. And the final section is the Install section which carries installation information for the unit.
In this guide (linked below), they show how to create a new systemd service and manage the service using the systemctl command, in Linux. It is one of the more concise and easier-to-read guides that I have seen.

As for the other OS, the culprit was clamav. Fortunately, they also provide clamav-lts, which doesn't need Rust to build, so I'm changing over to that.
And I've been messing around with SMT settings in my BIOS, thinking that was to blame. (I had it disabled on my last MB but it was enabled here so I disabled it for comparison. It made my CPU load look half as big, but of course that was just because I had twice as many virtual cores, so the monitor thought I was using less of the imagined double capacity!)
I have just discovered what a threat to Free software Rust is. It makes systemd look trivial.
I have come across its tentacles on another OS, where I have an automated build program which can build 144/145 packages in under half an hour, but one of them is written in Rust, so Rust must be built first, and rust takes over three hours. This will make maintenance of repos unmanageable if programs like that are allowed into the ecosystem. Free Software builders just won't be able to cope.
Clamav is the latest culprit. I have that on my mail servers to provide protection to my Windows-using clients, but I need to find an alternative fast now it's written in Rust.
To considerable amusement in the Linux community, the infamous lead developer of systemd has a new job – at Microsoft.
The news surfaced on a Fedora mailing list when someone found that they were unable to tag Poettering in a bug report because his Red Hat Bugzilla account was disabled, to which Poettering responded that he had created a personal account.
This has caused much merriment in comment threads on sites such as Phoronix, Hacker News, and Slashdot, from "Welcome home, Agent Poettering!" to "Good work!" to various quips about future combined Linux-plus-Windows operating systems.
Although near universally adopted in almost every mainstream Linux distribution, systemd remains highly controversial, as The Reg has covered at considerable length. Despite all the furor, systemd is merely one example of a trend towards richer systems-management tools on modern xNix systems, such as SMF in Solaris and its various open-source descendants or Apple's launchd. ...
From about a week ago, though I'd missed it at the time.
This has resonance for those engaged in the Linux community. I've long been strongly leery of systemd, in roughly equal parts based on its design, on Poettering's own exceptionally abrasive personality and disregard for valid technical complaints, and a remarkably (and unpleasantly) fanboi-ish cult which grew up around the system. It's all but entirely dominated Linux distributions, including Debian, which has considerably cooled my own enthusiasm (for both Linux and Debian) over the past few years.
