@pid_eins if I were to try to "backup systemd", what would that look like? Most of my stuff on servers is managed through Ansible, but I'd like to be sure.

Does that mean basically everything in /etc/systemd/?

if terraform didn't exist, would you invent it? 🤔

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qil4OpfOufU is such an awesome #Pokemon video, highlighting the surprising-to-me connections between Gold & Silver's Johto and Japan's history. Phenomenal!

Random midnight thought - are puppies in the same litter technically fraternal twins? 🐕

Turns out, yes and no.

#Dogs are superfecund, that is, a single mother can have multiple eggs fertilized by different fathers.

So its possible that a litter might have a few half-siblings and/or a few fraternal twins. If there's only 1 father? All fraternal twins.

Thanks for joining me on this random research rabbit hole.

4️⃣ Here's the 4th installment of my series of posts highlighting key new features of the upcoming v256 release of systemd.

You might be aware of systemd's per-service setting "ProtectSystem=". When used it ensures the service lives in its own mount namespace, detached from the host's and various key directories become read-only to the service, in particular /usr/. This reflects the fact there's very little code that should ever be able to to write to /usr/.

Getting really sick of painstakingly migrating to some Cool New Technical Thing With Superpowers and then whoops, It's All Ethics Violations after a while.

First #Kagi - CEO is a white dude who can't read the room when a bunch of users raise serious concerns re: suicide warnings, .ru indexes, Brave collab, etc.

Now #Nix / #NixOS - BDFL is a white dude who can't read the room when a bunch of users raise serious concerns re: toxic members, shitty governance, MIC sponsorship, etc.

If I had to concisely sum up the status of the Nix ecosystem after today:

woop woop
TERRAIN! TERRAIN!
woop woop
PULL UP! PULL UP!

I continue to hope against hope, for now. But also, a migration planning doc also exists now, when it didn't last week.
