The complaint that it looks old-fashioned is addressed partly by using ttk (themed tk) but also just about every aspect of the widgets can be styled using a simple xresources-style config.
It's fast and lightweight, free forever, stable as hell, and there's lots of resources online.
Shit. Just don't use Ubuntu. The writing is on the wall.
Time will show.
I really liked Redis for a long time. Simple, fast data-structures in-memory. That's it. Along the way there have been some nice enhancements like Lua, which solves a lot of the atomicity issues. But somewhere after 4.0 I feel they have lost their way. First they saw all the attention Kafka/event-stuff was receiving, so they baked-in this monstrous, complicated, stateful streams feature. Now we have SSL (do people really expose Redis on the internet??), ACLs, cluster stuff, and most relevant to me a new wire protocol.
To my thinking, Redis fit very well in the "lightweight linux thing" category. It seems they aspire to be enterprise software, and this may be a good move for Redis-the-Business, but it's not good for users like me who just want simple in-memory data-structures and as little state as possible. Forcing a new protocol that adds very little value (in my opinion) also seems like a great way to alienate your users.
The shortcomings of snap are well documented. I assumed anyone reading the comments would have been aware of them. But apparently some people will jump on any chance to virtue-signal.
If I have a laptop encrypted with luks or whatever, then what? What are the consequences of non-compliance?
