• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨systemd has been a complete, utter, unmitigated success⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think I could name one thing that systemd improved for me. But I can name at least one major annoyance that made things worse for me.

  The real issue is the backwards incompatibility which essentially forced everyone to switch instead of being able to choose.

  For that alone I will keep disliking it.

  I was always (and still am) under the assumption that you are fucked anyway, if either endpoint is compromised.

  Sure, you can do a lot to make it less and less comfortable to read a password. But I’m not convinced that it is possible to. Fully prevent it from happening, no matter how hard you try.

  This is known for a long time already and the reason why I boycott Substack. If you publish there, you are supporting right wing propaganda. Find a different platform!

  An alternative approach to PeerTube would be very welcome. ActivityPub-integration is a must for me, though.
