lol. Do you think this for real?

You’re allowed to not fiddle with it.

Strongly agree. I switched to helix because of this. It’s sort of like the fish shell in that it “just works” without the need for any plugins.

Just configure your LSPs are you’re rolling.

I can see how for some people cron is more straightforward to learn, at least till you need to handle logging, checking for cron results, handling when the triggered event can’t happen that instance, ensuring only one instance of the triggered thing happens at once, adding time jitter, etc.

Then timers are way simpler. Timers let you create robust timed events for free. With cron you need to do all that yourself.

Weird for sure. Why do you keep on asking this question in different ways on different accounts? Are you trying to justify it? Is it a fetish?

Inquiring minds want to know!

That’s because you know cron. If you knew timers equally as well they would be easier. And they let you handle the edge cases (retry, randomness, tracking, logs etc) without the need for a custom script.

Once you factor in the production edge cases I think timers are clearly easier. You get all of it for free.

I think if you know cron from the start it can be easier, but it gets really annoying really fast.

Compare:

0 0 * * * /usr/bin/flock -n /tmp/myjob.lock bash -c 'sleep $((RANDOM % 3600)) && /usr/local/bin/myjob.sh'

To:

[Timer]
OnCalendar=daily
RandomizedDelaySec=1h

That and things like systemd preventing overlapped delays, handing what to do if the system was down during the last cycle, built in logging and event tracking. Seeing successful vs non successful runs etc.

Once you add in those production requirements cron gets annoying fast and timers are easy.

The main functional difference between systemd and others is that systemd will just work. Others will require you hand tune and hand tinker with a non-mainstream Linux distro.

If your hobby is init systems by all means mess around though.

I personally quite like systemd. Unit files are clean, timers services and sockets are easy to manage etc.

Honestly it’s a non-problem. Best advice is to use what is best supported. Don’t let the extremely fringe (but loud) tiny group of systemd haters throw you off.

Imagine being this ignorant. They chose to fork only office because it’s web based and AGPL.

The original only office team refuses to allow community contributions and tries to stop people from forking it with a stupid (against the terms and spirit of the AGPL) poison pill.

Eurooffice are the good people here.

Fedora with Niri on laptop / desktop.

Alma Linux on servers.

Hey man I get it. But at this point I don’t think there is any reason to think blahaj as an instance is bigoted in any way, and there is every reason to think they are quite the opposite.

I hope you feel better soon. Best we end this chat to reduce trauma and increase healing.

I understand. And I can see the ableism examples that you put forward.

Do you have any example of the Nazi takeover of blahaj? Or that they are bigoted towards bi men or non binary people? Like I want to give you the benefit of the doubt here, but I just see the opposite of what you are claiming.

You are right that people can be blind to such things though. And that is why I am asking you. I very much don’t think I would be blind to a Nazi takeover of blahaj, but I admit you may see something that I don’t.

Once again is there any example that you could point out?
