  1. @lordbowlich @engideer @drwho I don't think so.

    On March 12, Lennart Poettering argued why adding this to systemd is fine:

    github.com/systemd/systemd/pul

    And two other systemd maintainers approved adding it to systemd before it got merged on March 18.

    The pull request has 151 comments as of now, so this was intensely discussed.

    And on April 1, merely fourteen days after merging the PR, a fourth systemd maintainer wants to tell us this *clearly* doesn't belong into systemd but into the kernel, and they shouldn't have merged it, when two weeks prior three of his peers approved it.

    Remember, none of the two bills they referenced had even been finalized at that point. The Colorado bill was finalized only in May, and the California bill still isn't final.

    Talk about getting a foot into the door, to first implement this in systemd and then basically immediately try to get this into the kernel. Before the damned bill was even finalized … and after a System76 employee informed them on March 10, "Hey, wait a minute, don't implement this yet, Linux might be exempted."

    github.com/systemd/systemd/pul

    I'm told this one "this should be in the kernel, not in systemd" statement was an April fool's joke. I'm not enough of a Linux expert to know if this is even possible to implement in the kernel or if this is an extremely obvious joke to anyone who isn't a complete kernel newbie (I'm a macOS user who wants to leave Apple behind after Tim Cook's brown-nosing of Trump's ass, so I'm not intimately familiar with all the Linux intricacies.) Knowing the genocide-complicit corporations all these people work for, I assumed the worst. ("compress the kill cycle" Red Hat, "Holocaust" IBM, "genocide of the Palestinians" Microsoft) To me it isn't obviously a joke. And it's a highly sensitive topic you don't make jokes about.

    Either way, the Colorado bill wasn't finalized before *May*, and the California bill still isn't finalized. They really are *stumbling* over themselves to implement this stepstone for fascist legislation.

  12. 🥴 Oh joy, the #Linux world now gets to watch #Flatpak cozy up to #systemd like it's a long-lost lover. 🥳 Because nothing screams "universal compatibility" quite like tying yourself to the one init system that's a hot debate topic at every Linux convention. 👏

  17. California and Colorado exempted Linux distributions from the age verification in operating systems, with Linux distributions generally being free and open-source, unless the distribution contains a part that mustn't be redistributed, such as SteamOS. In the case of Colorado, the bill is now final.

    Too bad the systemd developers already complied with fascism in advance before the bills were even finalized.

    Will Lennart Poettering and his followers now please remove the birthDate field from systemd?

    P.S.: If you reply with any variation of "You need to calm down," I will block you.

    Update 2026-05-27: Lennart Poettering now blocks me. I have never interacted with him nor @ mentioned him. He must have discovered this post through the systemd hashtag or Mastodon's Explore feature, or some bootlicker did share this post with him. His account handle is pid_eins at mastodon dot social. (Don't harass or threaten him, be civil.) Did he block you too for boosting/liking? 😃 On what offense? For commenting his people needlessly implemented a polarizing feature and asking him to undo it and make amends for the damage he has done, now that the tide has changed? I would have liked not to see him as an authoritarian, but if his approach is to steamroll over the masses and push through a highly unpopular "feature", no matter what, and block everyone who speaks up, then this *is* the behavior of an authoritarian. I might be posting under the hashtags #Gentoo and #Alpine in the future as I migrate to a Linux distribution without systemd.

  23. VPS-бастион: доступ к домашнему серверу без белого IP

    У вас дома крутятся полезные сервисы: Home Assistant, Jellyfin, code-server или Nextcloud. Или вы только собираетесь их запустить. Пока вы дома, всё открывается по локальному IP. Но стоит выйти за пределы квартиры, и сервисы пропадают. Причина: провайдер выдал серый IP-адрес, то есть применяет CGNAT. Белый адрес получить либо нельзя (примерно, как советский дефицит), либо он стоит дополнительных денег.
