vator optimisation easier and increases disk efficiency. And if I was using a VM on a big server with lots of VMs, again making plenty of ram available to cache it smooths out the writes and reduces actual pressure on the real physical disks. Cheers, Wol

[systemd-devel] Converting xinetd files

2022-02-10 Thread Wol
user= was root, so group= probably doesn't matter either, but how do you get a service to change user and drop privileges? It would be nice to know for the future, even the near future to try and modify qm/scarletdme so it doesn't need root and lower any possible attack surface. Cheers, Wol

here's not much choice out there for systemd-friendly source-based distros. Funtoo is openly anti-systemd. Sourceror (which I plan to play with) seems not to be that successful - looks like there are few users beyond the core developers ... and that feels like it's one of the better ones ... Cheers, Wol

quot;NoSQL databases". You'll probably find a bunch of interesting links. And there's a GPL version called ScarletDME, you'll find me on that. (If you decide it would work for you, I think there's a whole bunch of people who would dive in and help to get more exposure for the project.) Cheers, Wol
