5️⃣3️⃣ Here's the 53rd post highlighting key new features of the upcoming v258 release of systemd. #systemd258

This is a short one, but a double feature, both about systemd's service credentials concept:

Firstly, encrypted credentials finally work fine now if you use LoadCredentialEncrypted= in a per-user unit. v257 added the concept of user-scoped encrypted credentials, but by mistake I didn't actually hook this up with LoadCredentialEncrypted=. This is addressed now.

@pid_eins

All that's left IIRC is the ability for user mount units to function without requiring root permissions, which ain't working yet IIRC.

But great steps so far 👍
