1️⃣9️⃣ Here's the 19th post highlighting key new features of the recently published v260 release of systemd. #systemd260 #systemd

For this one, I am just gonna quote @daandemeyer about the delegation of multiuple UID ranges.

This feature is lovely, because it unblocks nested containers: you can put unpriv nspawn in unpriv nspawn and it will work reasonably, with privilege separation and everything.

@pid_eins Hi Lennart I support your criticism of verbal abuse and publicly organized murder for hire in the open source community:

"people started collecting Bitcoins to hire a hitman for me"—"posted a 'song' on YouTube[…]filled with expletives about me and suggestions of violence"—"vulgar language on the Linux Kernel Mailing List"—"Torvalds[…]posts words like"[specific folks]…should be retroactively aborted.Who the f*ck[…]diotic things[…]How did they not die as babies[…]likely too stupid to find a tit to suck on?""—"[…]Torvalds is too rude"—"Open Source community tries to advertise the community as one happy place"

I don't like systemd for its complexity but that doesn't give anyone the right to abuse you. Pulseaudio saved my day, had to switch from Pipewire, otherwise Raspberry Pi 4B 4G would be unusable.

Lennart Poettering's Linus Torvalds rant

Open-source mailing lists and IRC conversations are as prone to flame wars as anywhere on the Internet, but now systemd co-creator Lennart Poettering is calling out Linus Torvalds in a more public forum for helping to create attacks on him.
