How do you try to copy Windows NT's Event Log — which is essentially unchanged from the 1990s when systems ran on 32MB of RAM or less — and fail so spectacularly?

The first thing I do on a Linux system is install a proper syslog daemon.

Which log daemon do you use?

		syslog-ng FTW! Been using it since like 2003. Great router tools in the conf, network support, crazy regex rules for when you're trying to tune your syslog collector system after a few beers. Even has this awesome (footgun?) feature that lets me pipe matching lines to other tools I wrote (also beer influenced).

One of the first things I do on win10 is disable most of excess logging.

		But why, though? I have never seen a performance hit from it that would warrant that.

		How do you do that?
