1. Void Linux doesn't claim its BSD inspired, BSD inspired could mean 100 different things. 2. runit is not a "sysv-style" init, its the complete opposite. runit is a supervisor and inspired by daemontools. A "rc init&qu

The size for `sockaddr_storage` is not defined by POSIX, but `sockaddr_un` is defined, and you can't just change the `sun_path` to a pointer, so to increase `sun_path` you would have to increase the `sockaddr_storage` struct size. This

I'm sorry to hear about your experience with this, but this is simply not the case here. There is a big blog post about it, no one is trying to boot anyone out. Yes the article does not mention names, but its easy to find out and veri
