I mean that argument is ridiculous, saying that things are "documented" when the thing is literally called tmpfiles.d and the man page starts with the following explanation:

It is mostly commonly used for volatile and temporary files and directories (such as those located under /run/, /tmp/, /var/tmp/, the API file systems such as /sys/ or /proc/, as well as some other directories below /var/).

So basically some genius decided that its a good idea to reuse this system for creating non-tmp directories. Overall my opinion of systemd is reluctant acceptance though I always wondered why the old way was a problem. Need a service started on boot? Well, we had crontab and sysvinit with some plain files. Need a service shut down? Well that's the kill command. I guess I don't really know why systemd was made

Cambridge dictionary for "id":

abbreviation for identification: any official card or document with your name and photograph or other information on it that you use to prove who you are:

Do you have any ID? A driver's license or check card will do.

I used to think lawns were dumb but then I moved to a place where if you don't take care of your yard, it's just overrun with bugs and weeds. Planting too many trees makes things damp and miserable, open areas are key, but that's where stuff grows. Most plants can't survive being mowed, but grass loves it, and the birds can pick out insects when it's low. So now I like lawns, it's the human version of a meadow. And I don't see an alternative, other than growing an extra long beard, converting myself in mud, and becoming a druid

Well, US is doing exactly this too. It doesn't appear so incoherent - from a perspective of achieving objectives while attempting to reduce casualties. (And making a ton of money in the process)

But also stallman is a genuine weirdo but I respect his long unix beard

I think you can use openjdk just fine & basically oracle is trying to wring the last bits of cash out of a dying language. I'm so sad Java was ever used for anything, it's a garbage fire

It's a shame that the early seasons of SG1 were just plastic guns in a forest, bc the story/lore is so cool but I can't really recommend it anymore to first timers. Not the q I know
