[Note: This comment is not related to the current discussion thread] hi pdkl95, I'm somewhat new to HN, so sorry if this is bad form, but I couldn't find a way to send a private message. I've been doing a lot of research on systemd because a lot of the developer practices behind it frankly scare the shit out of me. I thought you had some excellent comments (these were threads from like 2015/2016) - is there anywhere we could discuss the current state of systemd if you're okay with that? Basically I want to see if any of your opinions have changed, or if systemd still seems like a giant ugly tightly-coupled octopus that attempts to subsume too many features. tl;dr: I've been playing around with arch linux and I've been loving it, but something about systemd rubs me the wrong way and it feels like an obvious target for security compromise if I were the NSA or [insert evil org] since systemd is present on so many linux distros
