Why do I continue to maintain #sysklogd on Linux when there's #rsyslog and #syslogng?
I believe what sysklogd has going for it is exactly what the competitors sacrificed: simplicity, a tiny footprint, zero dependencies beyond libc, and a config file a human can read in five minutes. On embedded systems, routers, and appliances that's not a consolation prize — it's the point.

Added basic #multicast functionality to #sysklogd today. And then my regression tests suddenly started failing … on CI. Obviously work fine when run locally, and tests failing that are not related to the latest changes and worked fine the last weeks *sigh*
At least I know what I’ll be doing tomorrow.

Ah yes, I’m done! Just completed program, hostname, and (generic) property based (incl RFC5424 properties!) filtering support for #sysklogd 🤓🤯 The latter supports very powerful text matching, including regexp! Next release will probably be out tomorrow, first day of the new year!

Refactoring tests in the #sysklogd project for upcoming new features 🤓
