Two people have died in Pennsylvania from measles, the state health department said Tuesday.

Vaxxed?

Where’s the thread?

Those would make some very nice jigsaw puzzles.

It’s good to support alternatives, but I also understand the utility of a project like systemd.

I can’t deny it. Standards are good. Having a (POSIX compliant) shell script run everywhere, for instance, is very useful.

As is the case with another person in this thread, I’m also only using the init system to start, stop and check the status of a couple of services, so the unifying benefits of systemd don’t apply to me – but when something has a hard dependency on it without a reason other than “everyone else is using it, why aren’t you?” I get very suspicious of the alleged motives behind that particular choice of system init.

I’m using runit on Void Linux because it seems systemd tries to do too much. I can be wrong here, but I can’t shake the feeling that it is another EEE device in the FOSS world.

Too late for you, I already made a picture of you making a picture of me as the soyjack and you at the Chad.
