From what I understand it was discovered in 1999, hence LK99. Doesn't seem very quick to me in that case.


Don't you think it does a bit too much as an init system?


It’s not just an init system and you can opt into resolved, networkd, etc. but you knew that already!


Just being able to treat period tasks the same as I treat long-lived services, and never having to think about crontab vs cron.d vs cron.hourly vs /etc/crontab, has improved my quality of life dramatically.

I also use systemd-timesyncd / networkd / resolved on most of my systems, but in places where I've wanted to not, swapping them out is as easy as swapping any other services (looking at you, rsyslog and syslog-ng).


No, it does what I want well. It never surprised me.


What does it do as an init system that is too much?


Not really, no. Systemd-init seems fairly focused. systemd the project also makes other stuff, which all neatly fits together.


No. It’s great, replacing and unifying a whole collection of random tooling you otherwise had to cobble together yourself.

dude... whether it's jesus or eternal nothingness, it takes faith to believe in both. There's no evidence for any of this so the only correct answer is we don't know.

> All empirical evidence from thousands of years of scrutiny

Yes, I'm very curious to see empirical evidence of what happens post-death and someone who lived to tell us.


Since religions come and go, there are hundreds, it can be empirically reasoned that it isn't Jesus, because Jesus is just the latest made up thing. IF there was one true god/religion, then why haven't we stuck with the same one for 200k years, right from the beginning. Why aren't we born knowing it? Why don't we know it from birth? Instead we believe whatever we were raised with. And that is a pretty flimsy basis to base some actual physical reality that exists after death.

On other hand, guess since we don't know what is after death, we can't also say with complete 100% certainty that it is nothing. But for there to be something, then that would mean there is something in this physical reality that gets transported, and we should be able to detect it. And since there has been nothing detected after a lot of tries (experiments), at this time there is nothing.

How do you know this?


People reported having their overwritten comments restored.


You can just change the user agent but it's still dumb that you have to.


Same, he's so friendly.


Does that mean it can't be used for desktop PCs? I remember using it in the past but on a vm.


I won't use it myself, but it's linux, it's technically possible to use it in and out a vm anywhere


Aren't anonymous transactions a use for it? Like monero


What problem does that solve?


That it is tough to safely and anonymously transfer money for illegal purchases without using cash in person.


Paying businesses that have been abandoned by Visa / Mastercard.
