Back home on the sofa and watching final episode of Night Manager after another fantastic #fosdem. Was great to see old friends and also some great talks. Guess I’ll be watching recordings of all the stuff I missed for weeks. :) Specially enjoyed @… ‘s talk about spiffe/spire and the systemd vm talk by @…

I'm trying to figure out how I can support the scripting options of wg-quick within my tool. Obviously we can't do it within .network and .netdev files, but I also don't see a way to trigger a unit based on a specific interface becoming routable and configured. Perhaps there is a way using systemd.path magic?

Ich hasse diesen systemd-Scheiß!
Ich habe damit nur Probleme und Null Vorteile.
Wer auch immer der Meinung war, dass das jetzt die Lösung aller Probleme wäre: Möge der Blitz dich beim Scheißen treffen!

@… I'll make this point:
― if a person likes GNOME without systemd, then the person does not really like GNOME.
Need to be realistic about the paths chosen by developers; about consensus.
When Apple took paths that I could not tolerate, I stopped using Mac OS X. And so on.

Ich habe ein paar Bugs entfernt und kleine Erweiterungen an meinem systemd-Service für `asncounter` vorgenommen.

Has anyone gotten a WireGuard VPN setup to work using systemd's netdev and network files (rather than wg-quick@ template units)?

systemd maintainer Lennart Poettering has left Microsoft.

Recent #systemd developments:

You hear no one ever talking about the atrocious kwallet software. Preventing me from connecting to wifi networks, where all other installs do connect easily. On Alpine everything works fine, with T2 it's preventing me from connecting at install. Why T2 couldn't include networkmanager and nmtui (they use systemd anyway) in their 4.3 Gb iso is beyond me anyway. Hopsakee, in da trash!

I had a little mini-project to convert WireGuard configs to native systemd units (.netdev, .network). After a bunch of troubleshooting, some help from kind folks on here, and digging into wg-quick...I did it! It's probably still rusty around the edges and _absolutely_ still experimental, but it works for my use-case.

Hey @… with the recent birthdate field being introduced into systemd and the lead developer being obnoxiously stupid about it, Plasma desktop relying more on systemd feels wrong.
Given the circumstances, I urge you to please reconsider systemd dependency on KDE platform and if possible, please think of alternatives.

Another day, another IPv6 question. I'm on a Hetzner cloud VM. I have a static IPv6 /64 subnet / prefix¹. The system uses systemd-networkd for network management.
My eth0 does not seem to receive any RA at all but I'd like to delegate the prefix downstream to a bridge interface br0 on the same host. I have an IPv6Prefix section on eth0 with the Prefix=…, Assign=yes and Token=static:::1. It works, eth0 gets the ::1 address for this prefix.
Is there a way for br0 to get thi…

The discussion around "age verification" in systemd/XDG has been largely focused against the California law. But honestly, there's a much deeper problem there.
Firstly, the data collected. The question initially asked is "are you at least 18 years old?" However, that's not the data collected. In fact, the data collected is not even the age — it's the full birth date. It's a perfect example of collecting more data than you need, and a sensitive information too, and sharing it with any application that asks.
Secondly, the extended goal of "parental controls" used as a justification to collect more data. When you think about it, you realize how bad this is: it isn't the case of asking the user about their birth date (with the assumption that a kid will enter a fake date to workaround the limitations). It is effectively a tool for *parents* to impose restrictions on their children, which means that they are more likely to enter the real date to ensure that these restrictions work. And given how popular sharenting is today, do you really think they'd come up with a fake birth date that happens to roughly match their child's age?
This is simply irresponsible.

It is Saturday and systemd and network manager still suck.

So, who is sufficiently skilled to maintain a fork of systemd?

Today's horrifying realization: the Debian and NixOS logos are vaguely butthole shaped. Even CentOS if you squint enough.
And Ubuntu is practically 3-handed goatse.
No wonder systemd is ensloppifying.

What I don't understand with all this age verification stuff in systemd and other places is, if I want to know how old a person is on my software/website, why would I ask the OS?

`brew install netlify-cli` also installs `gcc` ... and `systemd` ?
uhhh...
- netlify-cli uses npm package ipx (image optimization)
- ipx uses npm package sharp (fast image processing)
- sharp has prebuilt binaries that use libvips (image processing)
- netlify-cli brew formula removes those and instead uses the brew for vips
- vips requires poppler (pdf renderer)
- poppler requires gpgme, requires gnupg, requires libusb, requires systemd

I don't know who needs to see this, but I've had some issues with a pre-26.04 Ubuntu, which were (apparently) fixed with the following:

A bit overshadowed by Vulkan descriptor heaps and HDR extensions: the latest #Nvidia beta drivers for #Linux (595.45.04) also introduce an alternative to the current systemd-based power management triggers, instead relying on the kernel's own suspend and hibernate notifiers when NVreg_UseKern…

How much do you think someone would have to pay redhat and canonical to introduce a no-slop policy including all upstream projects (llvm, systemd, kernel, etc)?
Like if you offered them $100M to permanently ban all of their devs from using LLMs, not merge any LLM generated upstream commits, etc. would they do it? $200M?

When I'm not busy making unoriginal memes about operating system talking points, I'm busy forgetting creation of unpopular words for totally unoriginal popular knee-jerk commentary about systemd.

Auf dem ersten Server habe ich jetzt erstmal fail2ban installiert. So richtig eingängig ist die Konfiguration nicht. Erstmal, dass `before=` und `after=` genau gegenteilige Bedeutungen haben von dem, was man von systemd gewohnt ist. Ist halt 6 Jahre älter als systemd :-).
Aber dann auch solche Unklarheiten wie, dass ich sowohl im Jail wie auch in der Action den Port angeben … muss? kann?

Found and fixed a few configs and learned more about systemd units than I wanted.
But now I have two virtual nodes in the CI SLURM cluster and can submit jobs to both of them, which spawn the corresponding VMs.
So I think the next step is probably going to be to figure out how to set up a "github app" so I can accept CI job requests from github to actually spawn the build jobs.

BananaFin, my mix of project Banana (immutable KDE/Aurora) and BlueFin, is reaching finalization.Tomorrow some more testing (have brew and flatpak install my own applications upon first boot), but it is all running very smoothly. Aside from this being my hobby as well, you'd just install this and get on with it. And yes, it's a bootc container, from the cloud, secure boot enabled and it runs flatpaks and systemd. And very well, thank you!
