  • Now that you mention it, I find systemd messing with my DNS settings incredibly annoying as well, so I can’t help but agree on that point. At this production system at work, when troubleshooting, I often need to alter DNS between local, local (in chroot), some other server in the same cluster, and a public one. This is done across several service restarts and the occasional reboot. Not being able to trust that resolv.conf remains as I left it is frustrating.

    On the newest version of our production image, systemd-resolvd is disabled.


  • Oversimplified: It’s the service that handles starting and stopping of other services, including starting them in the right order after boot. Many people hate it because of astrology and supersticion. Allegedly it’s “bloated”. But still it has become the standard on many (most?) distros, effectively replacing init.

    I like init. It’s simple. I like systemd as well. It’s convenient. Beyond that i don’t have very strong feelings on the matter.

  • My copypasta from another post:

    I for one missed Portnoys influence on the music. Not necessarily as a drummer, but as a songwriter and general arranger. I always liked Manginis drumming, including his work before DT, so I’ve always been curious how DT would be if Portnoy was involved more on the production side.

    Either way, I’m happy to again be able to hear the DT i fell in love with all those years ago (well, minus Derek). I hope to see them live again soon.
