There are some very compelling arguments made there if you care to read them
Project mention: OpenRC is a dependency-based init system for Unix-like systems | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-06-27
The author has a high-level overview doc here: https://github.com/davmac314/dinit/blob/master/doc/COMPARISO...
Now, of course, with service management the devil is in the details, so before you use something as system-wide init, I find it useful to ask yourself: How do they restart services? Do they give up at some point? How do they notify administrators of failures? Do they detect crashloops? How configurable is the logger? What CLIs are there to debug the state of the system (which service was first to fail, where is its definition)? How to make ephemeral or parametrised services? How to add pre-start, post-start, pre-stop, post-stop hooks? Can you use environment variables in your commands, and where do they come from?
I don't think you can find answers to some of these questions in docs. Once you do learn the answers, they may be disappointing - I indeed found myself quite disappointed in systemd after having to debug many failed-to-boot machines. With s6, I never run it, but there are few choices that raise eyebrows, e.g. the restart delay is hardcoded in source code to be 1 second. With dinit, I have yet to finish reading all its manpages, but at least timeout and restart policies are configurable.
Project mention: Systemd through the eyes of a musl distribution maintainer | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-06I'm Just going to plug myself here:
https://github.com/KillingSpark/rustysd
It's been a while since I actively progressed on the project but it works and would probably be a good starting point for anyone wanting to do further work in this direction.
I used the settings from https://github.com/ChristianChiarulli/lvim to enable Rust debug functionality, but when I call the codelens debug feature in the program, I get the following error message.
You can also just reference the https://github.com/manuelroemer/IsExternalInit NuGet package.
Project mention: add_service: A Handy CLI Tool for Effortlessly Adding systemd Startup Items | /r/linux | 2023-08-19
Project mention: does anyone have a good org-mode riced config, font config, org-quote block, etc | /r/emacs | 2023-05-29You can take a look at my config in here, I use modus-themes, org-modern, some org setup as well.
Project mention: And thus, we will soon see rc-local.service disappear from systemd | /r/linux | 2023-04-26
