Re: About choice
This is a reply to Josselin Mouette's blog article About choice, since his blog does not seem to accept comments¹.
Please note that this is not meant to be systemd-bashing, just a criticism base one a counter-example refutation of Josselin's implication that there is no use case better covered by SysV init: this is false, as there is at least one. And yes, there are probably many cases better covered by systemd, I am making no claims about that.
MySQL save/restore: an example of what not to do
Classified in : Homepage, Debian, Command line, Grumble
I had to play a bit with MySQL, saving and restoring databases with
mysqldump and mysql. These two tools have one
severe discrepancy, which I would like to comment here because I think
it is an excellent example of what not to do when designing tools to be
used together.
