            It's created a single point of failure in like every major distribution that touches practically every part of the system. If you don't see the inherent risk in that, I don't really know what to tell you.

            Yeah I mean it would be better if it was just one system. And the "single point of failure" was a reference to PID 1 being a single point of failure since the kernel panics if it dies.

            Your problem is with the concept of an init system? So SysV was just as bad?
            I don't know how you can distribute responsibility of an init system. You'd probably be better complaining about the even bigger single point of failure the kernel is.

            Then you are not the right person to deal with this. Consider SMF and launchd both of which implement only a small portion of the facilities in PID 1 which in systemd are there, but which still have similar featuresets to "systemd-the-init-system" overall.

          • 2 years ago

            The actual PID 1 part of systemd is quite small.

            If you honestly believe that systemd does everything it does as PID 1, you fell for memes.

            I'm sure you've audited all 1.3M lines of C code to work-out exactly which part of systemd is doing what at exactly what time.

            First of all, systemd is less than half that amount of LOC. Linux is an order of mangnitude larger even when you exclude drivers.

            Second, the amount of LOC present in PID 1 itself is quite small. Yes, it's perfectly auditable by one person, even yourself.

            comparing what should be a simple init to a full fledged kernel is ridiculous. It shows what a clown world init sunnyd has become.

            yeah, systemd is not that different from linux kernel. Everyone can contribute to bloat, so there will never be one single person knowing the system thoroughly (maybe you have a chance if you work on it for 5 years)

            Not quite true. For instance, systemd-udev does not require you to use the init part of systemd. You can use another init system such as runit and still run systemd-udev, you don't even need a fork such as eudev.

    Poeterring is producing a very dangerous malicious software known today as the "System D", it is incredibly evil badware that will integrate itself into your system in such a manner that it becomes almost impossible to remove conveniently. It disobeys the Unix philosophy by making the booting of the system take place nearly 75% too fast, preventing you from visually keeping track of everything that is starting on the system via the console. It also includes unnecessary bloatware such as a QR code reader, an http server, and utilizes a bizarre journaling system to record logs in pure binary, which cannot be read by anything. Imagine trying to figure out why your system crashes at boot, and reading a log file made up of nothing but 1s and 0s, that's where systemd wants to take us.
