Oh fuck, google took down never gonna give you up :(

what if systemd had some kind of integration with queues?

like a unit type to limit concurrency like ninja.build pools but one could associate a service to more than one pool

and it binds to a posix queue and each message behaves like a socket activated unit

like each incoming message would work like a socket connection

if the pool is full the service stays as a job, if the service fails the message can be requeued

TL;DR: pool and queue units

Back when I was poking around with filesystem fuzzing stuff years back, I noticed something odd:

An EXT filesystem can tell the Linux OS how it should behave "if" the filesystem is corrupt, including triggering a kernel panic. In a world where USB thumb drives exist, this seems... not ideal.

Let's see what happens if we plug such a mass storage device into a fully patched Chromebook in 2024...

Oh.

the drm driver works as well and I (re-)discovered one not so terrible use case for touchbar display:
move the kde’s panel to the touchbar, see the mockup in the picture. It’s broken in interesting ways since kde handles it as second display. I got the panel only with tricks to use the full height, applications are not opened on the main display.
It would require integration as auxiliary display.
