Bike & a Viking longboat, Stockholm Sweden.

The number of interesting sightings seems to be endless in this city. I’ve lived here since 1989 and not once felt myself bored. I can easily switch my point of view from a regular everyday Stockholm dude to a tourist and just watch the city flow around me like I was on a vacation in some place new to me.

The year was 2005. I had an RC obsession and a lot of money to burn. This is a Traxxas e-Maxx, probably one of the first fitted with $600 worth of LiPo batteries and a 24vdc power system. I used a Battlebots ESC. This thing was stupid for its day. I still have it. #rc #remotecontrol

Interesting factoid for you:

People modified van Smoorenburg rc on Debian to work in a similar way, and it reduced their drop-in rc scripts to much the same sorts of lengths as Mewburn rc and OpenBSD rc shell scripts.

But this was about 4 years after the Debian hoo-hah had chosen systemd. And Debian lacked a systematic way of changing large numbers of rc scripts.

It remains as simple. #s6, perp, runit, nosh, and even daemontools have simple chaining tools for the attributes and suchlike, and the original daemontools was doing restart on failure and logging, with tools for reporting service status, over a decade before systemd was invented, and before even upstart was.

A lot of the arguments about how great service units are are based solely upon van Smoorenburg #rc as a comparand, which is a fallacy.

If you are talking about Mewburn rc, then that's the example that I usually point to for people who haven't the faintest clue that van Smoorenburg rc for Linux wasn't the only game in town based around shell scripting, let alone wasn't actually "System V".

The OpenBSD people have a not-invented-here version that is quite similar, albeit not the same nor drop-in script compatible.

Example:

No, RC Rush isn't discounted in the Steam Spring sale BUT if you have a VR headset and you like RC cars, then it's totally worth full price!! Even more so if you like supporting small indie developers like me. Check out the reviews from lots of people who paid full price! They love it! And so do I, but I'm bias of course. Look for yourself. Lots of trucks, lots of levels and lots of PC VR racing fun! store.steampowered.com/app/165 #NonSale #NotOnSale #SteamSale #VR #RC #RCRush #indiegame #indiedev
