Are people __very__ upset about systemd allowing a birthDate field unaware of the gecos multi-value in NSS [*1], the OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.8876.2.1.15 (LDAP: birthDate) [*2], or OpenID "birthdate" claim field [*3]?
There is not anything new here. #technology #systemd

[*1] since roughly the time when the gods invented dirt.
[*2] since the US Department of Defense decided computer networks were useful.
[*3] when "web developers" decided they were too cool to use existing standards for anything..

Nayden, who one day in June of 2014 confidently walked right in off the street and _immediately_ made friends with everyone, regardless of species, passed away today (2026-03-21).
He was a friend to all, even the backyard rabbits.
