Not your normal Friday night in the computer room.

Not a normal night anywhere.

Terry is the archetypal old-school Unix admin, nurturing servers with care and precision while avoiding the latest trendy garbage. KDE and Gnome on a server? Nope, if you need a GUI use FVWM.

The latest trend Terry refuses? One adopted almost everywhere? Systemd, the replacement init.

So Systemd comes for Terry.

Wearing skin-tight leather pants.

No, not a normal night in the computer room at all…

As good an explanation as any

September 6, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

As good an explanation as any of the appeal of systemd. It's glossy, sharp and rife with sensual promise.

Certain delicate readers might be understandably reluctant to purchase due to the lascivious subject matter, so please let me reassure you on this front: while an especially dreamy pepperoni-and-pineapple pizza is mentioned, it is not actually consumed. All pineapple pizza-related content is suggestive only.

Robot Terror

Intimate look at the seductiveness of systemd

September 7, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

In the Unix tradition of "unzip, touch, finger, mount, fsck, eject, umount" porn, the author entertains the seductive forwardness of systemd in contrast to the sterile, proven, trusted, and lonely world of Linux system administration. Sure, the review/rant about systemd could probably fit in a one page white paper, or perhaps a short threaded tweetstorm, but then we would have missed out on all the fun!

If you're a Linux sys admin or play one on TV buy and read this book.

This was amazing. Don't read this expecting smut, rather read this to laugh and share with your technical friends.

An excellent introduction to Systemd

September 11, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

An excellent, if somewhat unconventional, introduction to the dangers and pitfalls of systemd, written in narrative form from the perspective of a veteran sysadmin reminiscing about his first hands-on experience interfacing with it. Highly recommended for sysadmins and for any distro maintainer currently considering switching from a SysV-style or BSD-style init to systemd.

As a piece of literature, this novella quickly grabs the reader's attention and never lets go. The prose flows well, and the story draws on a healthy dose of self-deprecating humor that most readers should recognize and identify with. The text could have benefited from an additional round of proofreading, but my only real complaint is that the brief attempt to break the fourth wall is completely unnecessary, as the required object could easily have been left behind from a company outing, or something along those lines.

It is exact what you think it is. Now I need to figure out how to replace this with 50 Shades of Gray, because that would be easier to explain.

One of the best penetrating looks at Systemd

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This was a fantastic dive into the world of Systemd and what you, the system admin, should expect. Hands down one of the best writeups on the subject I've read.

Truly porn - don't bother if you want real information

What the!?!?! If you want geek porn (as in, really porn), you'll probably enjoy... It's about 98% smut, 2% barely useful technical information.Read more

Very funny

Funny! If you like the intersection of tech and unlikely romance/erotica, this is for you.

Wonderful.

I laughed. I cried. It makes a brilliant point and is entertaining as all hell.

I told the Linux team at work about it and that amused me. Well written and wonderful.

Technical inaccuracies combine with a shoddy search-replace of c-binary-esque terms in this uninspired smut

The majority of this review will be rather negative, but I'd like to quickly mention a few positive points too.Read more

Boring

Boring romance novel. Some good humour but the sex situations sound like written by dufous. Five more words are required

Had me cowering in terror!

If you think Steven King horror stories are pretty scary, don't even think about reading this. Absolutely terrifying.Read more

Ultimately Disappointing

Anthropomorphic software should be alien, abstract, strange, frightening, exhilarating!

Instead it's a woman in a tight T-shirt and leather pants for no reason.Read more
