Five decades ago, people didn't have laptops that they want to put on sleep and can get stolen. Actually, five decades ago, the rare people using a computer logged into remote, shared computers. Five decades ago, you didn't get hacked from the internet.
Today, people mostly each have their computer, and one session for themselves in it (when they have a computer at all)
I have not looked into homed yet, needs are very different from before. "It worked five decades ago" just isn't very convincing.
It'd be better to understand what homed tries to address, and argue why it does it wrong or why the concerns are not right.
You might not like it but there usually are legitimate reasons why systemd changes things, they don't do it because they like breaking stuff.
- egorfine 1y agoIt is. Laptops are totally unusable without systemd, and most of these features are needed there indeed. My rant is: why the f are they shoved down my throat on the server side then?
- jraph 1y agoI'm quite happy with systemd on server side, it eases a lot of things there as well. And I haven't noticed homed on my servers. Did they shove homed down your throat on your servers?
- egorfine 1y agoThey did shove timers and mounts. So, homed and run0 are pending.

- flexagoon 1y agoHuh? Who shoved timers and mounts? Most of the people I know have never even heard of systemd timers and continue to use cron
- egorfine 1y agoWait until you want to disable some of the built-in behaviors in Ubuntu. To make things really suck for you, they run some tasks both in crontabs AND in systemd timers. So good luck pulling hair out when you have removed apt updates from all crontabs () around but they still do. () yeah, it's a bad idea; it was required for a specific installation where every cpu cycle counted.
- godelski 1y agoI mean 5 decades ago people were using terminals, not terminal emulators. They weren't using the internet[0]. 5 decades ago Linux didn't exist, kinda making any argument moot. [0] idk why people think Arpanet is the internet. For clarification, I'm not my das
