Red Hat should switch to Zig.

They should have just offered a way to make it write text log files.

I have a prototype FUSE filesystem which renders the journal as a tree of .log files (https://github.com/awfulcooking/journalfs)

But my muscles finally learned `journalctl` and after reading the docs I mainly use it.

Patches welcome to make journalfs practical (i think it may be lagging output when you `tail -f` atm)

Would love to see systemd offer a virtual filesystem interface by default.

An OS has a lot of things to be done downstream of the kernel in userspace.

Having one interface to them is useful.

i respect the BSD hacker style, minimal init ethos.

But man is it handy to have declarative sandboxing in service files.

`loginctl` as a standard for listing, locking, killing user sessions.

`machinectl` as a container / virtual machine manager.

And --host / --machine to remote all of the above.

I had a conversation with someone who was religiously homophobic on HN recently.

Their mind probably wasn't changed, but having civil discourse about intolerance is important.

I'd much rather see a racist post with thoughtful dissent (which the OP can then read, and is pretty much guaranteed on HN) than for racists to just get excluded, and have no cause to change their mind.

They then go to a more extreme forum, with people who only agree with them. The hate gets amplified instead of dissuaded.

Maybe it's like "low serotonin levels" is to depression. A mechanism through which some effects are expressed, but not the root cause, and only one aspect of the condition.

We are here. We do not harm each other. We do not harm other people. I believe God wills it. Peace, Nas.

You feel attraction for both sexes, but choose to ignore one?

I am not bisexual, but tried to be. The choice wasn't available.

Have you felt strong attraction for both sexes? If not, have you tried to?
