Damn they must be beyond desperate
I am torn. I’m glad they’re trying genuinely new things and imo rewriting parts of their code in rust is a great idea performance-wise. I wish they would do it with the rest of the OS too.
Then again why? We got Linux, we got permissions, we got security concepts and doctrines, we got users, groups and members and we got LDAP. We also have sandboxing through lxc or full on VMs. Maybe this is the only way to do it on windows but they’re just reinventing the wheel just so they can fit it on a donkey. It’s just kind of useless to tack that onto a swiss cheese of an OS.
It feels like they know something fundamental has to change but they just invent new things to screw onto a rusted old contraption that’s barely humming along. This is kind of an “either commit or die pretending” moment and I am curious if they understand that before it’s too late and what a genuine strategy would look like.

Yeah we could have some more of that here on Lemmy because people tend to be quite negative.
Honestly that’s awesome, I didn’t manage to get grafana working when I tried exactly this, I’ll definitely check out any guides you used ^^
