I'm with you. HN pedants are so god damn annoying.

An ethernet interface is not a netdev. Netdevs are always virtual interfaces.

Oh no, an application has bugs. Must get rid of it!

I genuinely don't see what's so complex about a service unit file. It's a simple INI file that has multiple sections that describes the service, tells what command to run and specifies any dependencies. It's literally th

If you need extra customization capabilities, just run a shell script via the ExecStart= parameter and boom, you have all the power of systemd and the shell combined.

Now you're just exaggerating. Are you really saying spending 5-10 mins skimming through a couple of man pages is that hard? Are you saying that a lot of documentation is a bad thing? (I thought FreeBSD fans liked to harp about their ha

ifconfig/netstat was deprecated more than a decade ago, that's more than a couple years don't you think?

systemd unit files are text files, not binary blobs. And it is much easier to grok a unit file than a 500 line init script.

There's no such thing as systemd-firewalld.

I've been using Firefox on Wayland for the past year or so. There are still some minor hitches here and there, but it's very usable right now.

FreeBSD 13 is moving the i386 architecture to tier 2 status, so looks like the days of 32-bit support in FreeBSD might be numbered as well: https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-announce/2021-Ja...

That is a super mediocre website you got there. Not a great first impression.

That's weird. I just get a 301 redirect to the HTTPS version when I visit http://duckduckgo.com .

Isn't YAML supposed to be a superset of JSON? So technically, you should be able to use JSON files right now (barring a few exceptions).

> AFAIK it's not easy to replace various parts of systemd, it's very monolithic and it does too many things. You can easily replace timesyncd with any NTP daemon. You can easily replace networkd with any other networking manage

Well if it's working for everyone but a select few, then I'd argue the problem is with those select few and not the product.

Stop spreading FUD. ".zfs/snapshot" has been working on Linux for years now. I don't know when you last used ZFS on Linux, but just because you haven't used ZoL for a while doesn't mean that the developers stop

systemd isn't just an init system. It's a suite of tools that provides a system and service manager. It's not handling everything in one monolithic process. This has been said thousands of times before. I don't know

systemd did make package maintainer's lives a lot easier. We don't often see the shift to systemd from their perspective. They are the ones making the distros so I think they are the ones who really get to say what goes and doesn&

So unfortunately it makes less sense for one-liners. Case in point: to use the masquerade action in a postrouting/nat chain, you also have to register a (possibly empty) prerouting/nat chain. You don't have to do that since

You know you don't HAVE to use systemd-homed right? If it doesn't fit your use case, just keep doing what you're doing right now.
