  • I did just read I think 90% of that, and it just seems like that person is sour about systemd in general.

    I agree it’s not unix/Linux philosophy but it’s the best we have.

    Does it do too much? Maybe. I haven’t seen that exploited on a large scale in the real world, but it’s definitely a golden key.

    There are options. But it’s just one of those things. You’re pissing in the wind unless you’re willing to write it yourself. You can use non systemd distros or even use bsd.

    All that said, you’re absolutely right to be concerned, but speaking on it like it’s an active vulnerability is dangerous.

    It’s also evident that it’s reliant on the software you run, it’s not systemd that’s giving you away, it’s your application that you chose to install that’s abusing or neglegent of systemd’s access.













  • Agreed, that was actually the point of my comment (at least in my eyes), but I do greatly appreciate you articulating it!

    You can really just feel that sentiment in everyday life too, just going about your business, people want to feel helpful. I love that.

    It’s part of what made me not understand how powerful propaganda could be when I was younger.

    Look for the helpers, and when you see someone say Mr Rogers was a bad thing, immediately set them on fire. Duty is duty.
