  • Повністю погоджуюсь зі словами авторки, але. На жаль ‘технологічний суверенітет’ це фантастичний звір якщо нема фундаменту на якому будувати цей суверенітет, це не більше ніж слова. Хоча велика війна і дала нам трохи копняка в бік розвитку, без нормальної освіти все це тимчасова історія яка веде в нікуди.


  • I’ve always had either problems with schedules or problems with environment because it has it’s own. Cron is fine as long as you are lucky. That isn’t to say there never were problems with timers, on debian 9, I think, shipped version of systemd had a bug where systemd-analyze parsed schedule correctly and timer just shit itself. But only for some specific case I can’t remeber which, but it was extremely frustrating to debug.




  • You can explain timers the same way.

    And then with your explanation it goes: cron job doesn’t execute for reason, crontab -l lists not all jobs, someone else put cron job in whatever directory like cron.daily, you’ve added or removed empty line at the end and now nothing works, debian crond and redhat cronie ahave different quirks, etc., etc.

    I’ve dealt with insane cron problems for so long that switching to timers was like *whoa i don’t need to suffer?*

    So it’s really not the same workflow at all? Just this month I’ve explained to really smart people how to use corner tiling in windows and hotkeys, most people today don’t even own a PC. For me, personally, the difference is negligible, for a lot of people it’s really alien.
