You have to do that using systemctl start interjectd@message.md

systemd+(gnu+Linux)

To kids, anyone with 15 years in is "old".

Guess what they called us when we pointed out the procedural failures in its design? Yep: old.

Meanwhile I'm just here booting my sysV box reliably and not cringing about HUPping dbus. I've never seen as frail a shit bag as a Systemd-afflicted install.

Because we know it's true, and we hate it.

What do you mean old 😅

Yeah that was the good time! Just kidding I have no clue what you're talking about.

replacing ssh startup with a triggered socket

Socket activation itself isn't exactly new, inetd got added to BSD in 1986.

Well, most of those aren't really part of the "systemd init system", they are just part of the "systemd project" which is more than just the init system.

As such they are just optional services that you can install (except the ssh part which is still the same ssh but with a different default configuration), but the init system of systemd is still the same. They are just more convenient and/or advanced for distro maintainers.

As a matter of fact, most desktop distributions don't even use "systemd-networkd" which is the networking manager of systemd. Instead they use "networkmanager", which many people associate with systemd, but it's really an entirely different project.

You are still free to use the systemd init system in place of sysvinit, and not use all those services you dislike, you just have to configure them. Which most people think is inconvenient, but shouldn't be a problem for you seeing as you don't like the convenience of the systemd ecosystem.

Makes me think of the old saying that Emacs is a great operating system that's only missing a decent text editor

You used to be able to install Ubuntu on Windows via mingw, so for some people Ubuntu was just a program

Don’t take too many, this is a shitpost about how bloated systemd is

Oh god please don’t

I'm doing my part!

Great talk

No. It does some things right and many things wrong. Difference in priorities, that's all. Except you often don't have a choice, because of some of the things Systemd does (intentionally) wrong.

Wrong from my view, that is.

The UNIX philosophy is "Everything is a file."

systemd doesn't follow that, with its binary logs and stuff.

Just part of why I keep going back to FreeBSD.

Systemd 'haters' are the people who know better and learned from best-practice.

Systemd 'haters' are no more haters than your parents who told you not to eat candy all day were candy haters.

Exactly. A very small but VERY disproportionally loud group.

They uninstalled systemd from their computers and installed it on their brains.

hahahahahaha

And I wanna emphasize it's a "d" not a "D." I got a lil one, ok?

Grrrr snap
