BingoBoingo:
<zdzichu> linux is mostly opensource, you are free to do whatever you want
BingoBoingo:
<zdzichu> BingoBoingo: so go and ignore systemd
BingoBoingo:
<dreisner> sure it is. but not for any of the reasons that you can come up with.
mircea_popescu: For example, systems running systemd now generally store their hostname in /etc/hostname, something that used to be specific to Debian and now is used across distributions.

mircea_popescu: "we designed systemd with security in mind"
<< by now this is pretty much usable as-is, might as well be a protein binding site for pathogens.

< yeah sometime being a jerk hels you not get stuff.
mircea_popescu: "Anything ECC is currently highly suspicious, not in the least because the math is complex."

mircea_popescu: decimation: after all, wouldn't you like to tie your boot process with opaque silicon?
