No I didn't form an opinion solely based on this blog. But it made me reconsider my opinion based on my own experience of systemd and the fact that it seems to be very much against the UNIX philosophy (I want a UNIX like system, in particular usecases at least).
Did anyone actually think this was a remote exploit that could be triggered via twitter? I certainly was never under that impression.
- microcolonel 10y agoPlease explain how: a) systemd violates "the UNIX philosophy". b) "the UNIX philosophy" applies to long-running processes. UNIX daemons have existed for a long time, and they have never been as single-purposed as the shell utilities; so arguably "the UNIX philosophy" doesn't have anything to say about daemons. Secondly, systemd's PID1 has basically only as much functionality in it as makes sense. If they move that functionality to another daemon, it'll be worse.
