RIP nuage icon :(

Hearing about how #systemd is using varlink (simple JSON IPC) at #allsystemsgo gave me actual hope for #linux usability awesomeness.

Talk answers what varlink is and the many many reasons it's better (vs DBUS). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emaVH2oWs2Y

"It's so useful that it's JSON, because for the first time if I strace a systemd system I can actually make sense of the IPC calls being done... and this alone is one of the killer features of varlink that you can understand your fucking system now-a-days."

Varlink Now!

@icing Interesting! Out of curiosity, what’s the rational behind supporting different QUIC implementations?
@icing is this a reimplementation of http/3 using OpenSSL’s QUIC stack or is this the first step towards supporting http/3?
