Anyone else tired of “Systemd sucks” articles? Yes, we get it. You want SystemV back. Sorry, it’s not happening. (Unless you switch to one of the few distros that support it.)

Are we still beating this dead horse? A decade after the fact?

I love systemd since I can easily create a new daemon. And systemd makes sure it is killed when I run systemctl kill, no matter how many children and grandchildren were spawned

It's like a docker, but already installed on an ubuntu box. A sysadmins dream.

I used to be a fan of suckless and cat-v until I realized that complexity doesn't go away when you pretend it did, or when you just tell your users to "git good".

I really like systemd, I even run Emacs as a systemd service. That means I have persistence of Emacs over my user session. I can close all Emacs frames (windows) and open up a file hours later and none of my work has disappeared.

Also, basically 0 wait time when opening a new frame, launches faster than gedit or kate.

I have to admit I keep a very wide berth of the "suckless" people, they have a worrying history of being Nazi-adjacent

These are the sources I could find within a few minutes of googling. But it's worth repeating for those that would want to engage with the suckless team

> Paired with transient units and user escalation performable remotely, this can mean that if you house VPS instances somewhere, your hosting provider has means and tools to spy, modify, delete any kind of content you store there

... they ... do they really think that VPS providers couldn't do this before systemd??
