    Where this country is heading - do you have any hope ?

    RSS-BJP will be elected to power in 2019. The sad truth. Don't know what kind of atrocities we will have to face in this country. 2002 Icons will still rule the country till radicalism subdues after few decades.

    Linux Linux distributions without systemd, Init Freedom - some thoughts.

    Devuan ASCII is going good so far. Devaun is using sysVinit or OpenRC as init and not systemd. Pretty stable. It depends on elogind and eudev and such parts instead of consolekit/consolekit2. I'm also using FreeBSD 12-Beta2 with Gnome-3.28 on a ZFS root. Needless to say, no way can systemd...

    Linux Linux distributions without systemd, Init Freedom - some thoughts.

    Until problems occur, systemd is hailed as fast and path-breaking invention in Linux sphere. In reality, it is a huge mess. Systemd, Speck encryption by NSA etc are all existing to serve some vested interests. I will tell without doubt that, Linux is no more a secure operating system as many...

    Linux Linux distributions without systemd, Init Freedom - some thoughts.

    https://devuan.org/os/init-freedom/ Older Linux users find systemd as default init (and more) as the biggest failure happened to Linux sphere. They may be wrong. But, corporates (RedHat) and agencies may have pushed systemd into almost all major Linux distros now. systemd tries to be more than...

    Ubuntu Fan thread

    systemd is enforced by RedHat on persuasion of "unknown forces" (can be NSA etc). http://without-systemd.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page OpenRC or even SysVinit makes a lot more sense. I have been using Linux for over 16 years now, starting with the RH 7.1 . One thing I always liked is, it is easy...

    Ubuntu Fan thread

    Ubuntu 18.04 is unreliable with booting, at least in 2 of my systems. Seems like a systemd problem. gdm3 started, but no display. OR some messages like "waiting for xyz service" followed by a counter. This can randomly happen. 2-3 times, I've reinstalled forcibly gdm3 , gnome-shell etc and may...

    Where this country is heading - do you have any hope ?

    His view isn't far away from reality. It will be more like Hindutva Pakistan. Hindutva is the radicals (RSS-Sanghparivar umbreall orgs) and not common Hindus. Hindutvvaadis are the re-incarnation of Hitler and Goebbels and are experts in covert attacks be it Samjhauta express, Malegaon and G-d...

    Where this country is heading - do you have any hope ?

    The reality is, most of the majority are indirectly influenced by Godi media and, even before that the thekedari of Hinduism is being taken over by RSS and affiliates. Imagine, people in the lower strata discussing to you, about packing Muslims and anti-Modi/anti-BJP to Pakistan. Imagine, common...

    Following altnews.in (Pratik Sinha) and smhoaxslayer, quint etc are a few handful of sites that helps in finding real versus fake news. Armed with the baits and flammables posted by the RSS-BJP IT Cell in WhatsApp, we have educated people justifying RSS Raj.

    Where this country is heading - do you have any hope ?

    India is almost irreversibly getting polarized. The seculars, liberals should change their views - mellow down or keep mum - Enough lynching videos available for your enjoyment. I still think, Congress and UPA cannot win in India anymore. It's not about their PM candidate being portrayed as an...
