You're assuming libsystemd does things which it doesn't. Saying there should've been a libudev says enough. Too much assumption the lib does loads of things around the init system part of systemd. The unneeded dislike of the

The article compares the energy savings over an already inefficient dryer. The article mentions that an existing dryer takes 50min (average). Such dryers are not what anyone should buy, they waste too much energy. Over time it's cheape

That's not true though. The additional energy to create that heat doesn't have to equal the time saved. You'll notice this in heat pump dryers. They cannot generate the same amount of heat. They take way longer to dry the clo

Aside from the additional ships, you need additional containers, employees, etc. It also costs more in bunkers, etc. For JIT it wouldn't matter too much though. As long as it arrives on schedule it would be ok.
