@hexa:lossy.networkhexa why aren't you buying into orb instead? https://orb.net/ 17:37:02
@hexa:lossy.networkhexa(anyway, I think they're a nice product to take inspiration from)17:37:33
@raboof:matrix.orgraboofNeat, never seen it before. Yeah I thought "I'll just throw something together real fast". A blackbox-exporter patch, autossh conflicting with nixos-rebuilder-ng and this rp thing later it didn't quite turn out like that, but still enjoying the learning 😊18:40:48
@elisaado:matrix.orgelisaado [moved to @elisaado:elisaado.com]the topic mentions "do not rely on networking.*", why is that? networking. options are so comfy :(23:02:45
@tom:dragar.deTomFrom my understanding: networking.* (without the networking.useNetworkd Option which is problematic in itself) is a bunch of scripts and systemd services which try to configure networking. It's just not the way to do it and networkd and networkmanager will be more robust.23:27:26
@hexa:lossy.networkhexanobody really maintains those scripts23:28:51
@hexa:lossy.networkhexaand they don't keep pace with the network management tools out there23:29:04
@hexa:lossy.networkhexaand in fact no other reasonable distro does this23:30:26
@hexa:lossy.networkhexadebian did this with ifupdown, but that's largely a legacy project23:30:33
@hexa:lossy.networkhexaand ubuntu doubled down on another abstraction layer with netplan23:30:43
