       @inex you have no other choice than to make 120 portions, to avoid waste.

       @libreleah to be clear then, there’s no reliable and spec compliant way to close file descriptors? If the operation is interrupted you cannot safely retry (you may race and close a different file that reused the same fd number), so the only option is to hope the close was successful, and if it wasn’t you just leak it.And this isn’t some weird corner of the API. This is just “close”…

       @drakulix @q66 100% applies to the “power user” take of immutable or atomic linux systems, imho. “Oh but I can’t ‘sudo yum install’ anymore!”No, and that’s good! The clearer separation of the OS from software repositories is good! It’s also good to abandon the idea of mutating a live system in-place. That’s was never great. Push left!
