the downside to using OpenBSD for everything the past decade is now that I'm trying to get Linux-exclusive software to work, nothing works right the first time. and I have no idea what any of this stuff does.

it's like an encrypted Rube Goldberg machine of software, and I don't have the key. or even a full view of the machine.

work, dagnabit...just work already!

@aag I feel for you: been handed a CentOS VM to “maintain”. Nothing makes sense, can’t even figure out where stuff is configured.

@cynicalsecurity KubeADM doesn't like swap partitions. Now, no where (except the depths of GitHub Issues, perhaps) does it say why. Only that it does not. So I go to disable swap partitions on Ubuntu.

sudo swapoff -a
edit /etc/fstab

but no! a challenger appears -- systemd automounts a swap partition if it detects one!!!

WHAT IS EVEN FSTAB FOR, THEN?!?!

so much frustration...

@aag @cynicalsecurity Assuming that's what's happening and given that that swap partition might hold data for another multi-boot operating system which is sleeping it seems to me that under UK law the authors of that portion of systemd have committed an offence under section 3(3) of the Computer Misuse Act 1990: legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1990/ Obviously, extra-territorial application of this law would be difficult, unfortunately.
