Jan AdriaenssensProbably my favorite hidden feature in 80’s and 90’s PC games was a “boss” key you’d press to pause the game and bring up a fake spreadsheet. Because of course you would play them at work, not at home. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boss_key

Lennart PoetteringThis is all very efficient to secure services, but it's also a bit opaque: since it's the daemon you sandbox, and your admin tools are outside of that sandbox it's sometimes hard to analyze how the daemon sees things.
No more. With v258 there's a new verb "unit-shell" in systemd-analyze. You specify a service name, and it opens you a shell inside that specified services' sandbox (which must be running for this). You can look around and check if everything is like you expected it to be.
BodilLiterally every criticism of systemd I hear is just a variation on "I had to learn a new way of doing a thing that's different from how I've been doing it since the 70s, therefore Lennart is the Antichrist."
