    Finally we can put all the controversy around systemd to rest.

    [–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago

    Damn and does it work as an init too? xD.

    systemd is a great operating system, it just lacks a decent text editor.

    [–] [email protected] 36 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    Good thing it's editor agnostic so everybody can do the right thing in the end and choose nano

    ed is the standard text editor.

    In the UK, if Christmas or New Year falls on a weekend, a seperate equivalent holiday is made during the week to compensate.

    [–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

    but the UK has the fewest public holidays in Europe. In Germany we have 9-13 but don't get a day off if a public holiday is on a weekend. And we have a minimum of 20/24 days of holiday on top

    [–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago (2 children)

    Wait, do other countries not do this? So if a public holiday falls on a Saturday it doesn't get pushed to Monday?

    [–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

    Germany doesn't do this, but the minimum, when all holidays fall on the worst possible days, is more than the number of holidays in the UK.

    This is true for all public holidays in the UK, there's a (usually) fixed number of public holidays but the dates are flexible.

    They're also included in the minimum 28 days paid time off too, meaning if you're a full time worker and have to work on a bank holiday your employer is legally required to offer an extra day off somewhere else instead, either a fixed date or added to your holiday allowance. Conversely, the "extra" day off you get when a monarch keels over may be subtracted from your holiday allowance for the year. This is also why my employer is allowed to follow English bank holidays despite having next to no presence in England; the number is fixed but the dates are not.

    It is literally happening this year.

    24th is Tuesday. 1st of January is Wednesday and as a bonus Jan 6 is also a holiday in my country and that's Monday.

    So from dec 22 to jan 6 i can be home by using just 6 days off

    systemd is the future, and the future has been here for over a decade and yet old Unix and BSD purists still cry about it

    I have one simple thing to say to the downvoters: I am not using a minicomputer from 1970, why should I be bound by the limits set then?

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

    I wouldn't cry about it if it wasn't so God awful to work with

    [–] [email protected] 22 points 1 day ago

    I've felt like systemd has been a breeze compared to the hodgepodge of different stuff that preceded it. Now most distros have it mostly the same way, tools are well documented, things works together. It wasn't always like that from what I remember

    [–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

    In what way?

    [–] [email protected] 38 points 1 day ago

    Yeah, I'm also one of these people silently enjoying systemd and wayland. Every now and then there's fuzz on one of these. I shrug, and move on still enjoying both of them.

    How is Tuesday Christmas optimal?

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

    I suppose for people in the office, it means everyone else has fucked off and the week is basically a wash.

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    I guess that makes a long weekend with Christmas Eve and then Christmas?

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago (2 children)

    Is Friday Christmas just as good?

    [–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

    Not in Germany, where 25th and 26th are bank holidays. So having these close to the prior or following weekend makes for four days off

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

    Seems like it would be, maybe OP has more reasons to think why Tuesday is more optimal.

    me: systemd is not that bloated

    systemd:

    [–] [email protected] 47 points 1 day ago (4 children)

    You need a calendar and time handling anyways for logging purposes and to set timers correctly. It's likely not that much extra work exposing that functionality.

    Try scheduling a cron tab job to run a task on dates defined that way.

    I think this is for setting date oriented timers
