Imagine wondering “When’s the next time that Christmas will be a Tuesday/Wednesday, for those sweet optimal public holidays (Jan 1st being exactly a week later)?”

Now imagine asking, idk, google or Siri or god forbid an actual calendar, instead of turning to the best tool for the job: systemd.

#systemd #linuxadmin #linux #systemd

@rixx thanks, I hate it 
@dequbed Right?! It feels so wrong, and yet, systemd-timers are so *nice*. They have a status and know when they will run and when they have run, and you do need to know how to deal with calendars for this.
@rixx @dequbed this is why I completely ditched cron in favor of systemd timers
