Yeah the free beer thing is what I use to explain what the “free” doesn’t mean. “Free as in freedom. Not free as in free beer.”

I heard that the creator of the MMO had people they knew within ycombinator at the time. I wonder if it’s something similar this time around. Eitherway, it’s not a good look for ycombinator

Now run Doom on it.

You’ll find blog spam and ai slop if you look it up online. Systemd’s website/man pages should be the resource that brings me up to speed.

I had to read about run0 and other upcoming systemd features from Lennart’s Mastodon which I’m not a fan of either. These kinds of things should be on the systemd website itself.

I think if systemd were documented in a more consumable format (the man pages need better organization IMO) more people would see how powerful it is. Mounting directories with BindPath, and BindPathRO, Limiting systemcalls, socket activation and cgroup integration, and nspawn containers are features I can’t live without.

I feel like a lot of people that get attached to the “It tries to do everything and it’s against the unix philosophy” argument might change their minds when they see the tradeoffs. It has its problems for sure, but you get a lot out of it.

These days I don’t even use docker containers for running services. I just put it in a systemd service and lock it down as tightly as I can.

“… unless it makes you rich”

I genuinely thought it was just me but yeah this has always been the case for me. Neat concept but I think that living in the middle of nowhere with crappy internet makes it impossible to use for me.
