The PT410X thread: Linux/BSD and Open Source Software for users and beginners!
ankhtahr:
Pretty much. Well, it's Poettering software, so what else would one expect.
I still resent him for bringing shame on my first name…
I once tried to get used of that resampling. I spent a few hours on it and ultimately ended up uninstalling pulse. I'm glad I'm using Arch Linux, so I never even installed Pulse in the first place.
And if I ever need more features than ALSA I'll just use JACK.
ankhtahr:
Alright, I just updated my server to Debian Jessie (the current stable branch). That was relatively painless. I had to change a few Apache settings, but apart from that the update just went through.
Sadly that means that my server is now also running systemd. But well. At least that's Poettering software which actually has some advantages. I don't like the whole systemd package, but at least the init part of it is relatively practical.
pwhodges:
I've been bitten by systemd as well, going from Scientific Linux 6.5 to 7. But it's here to stay so... <shrug>
The screen built in to my rack at work is seven years old, and is 800x600. It's a pain these days, but it's still OK to run a Windows install on, or to use when necessary. However, the current Scientific Linux starts its install with a 1024x768 graphical screen, so even though I want a non-graphical setup, I can't install it without plugging in a spare monitor, which is pretty inconvenient in the server room.
ankhtahr:
I'm actually very intrigued by uselessd, a fork of systemd which reduces it to its bare core, the init system. That would be a real improvement over sysvinit in my book, and it cuts away all the magic I don't want.
ankhtahr:
Things I've already done today:
* Leased a dedicated server
* Installed FreeBSD on it
* Managed to get Syncthing up and running
* Managed to set up Apache, PHP, MySQL
* Managed to get an Ampache up and running
Seriously, I'm starting to love FreeBSD. It feels so much more clean and structured compared to the chaos of the GNU/Linux userspace. I mean, of course that's kinda the point with BSD, but still, amazing.
Also: Ampache is the best thing ever, and together with Syncthing I now have my music wherever I want and synchronised on all my devices. And I can share music with people without having to use external hosters! It's amazing!
