This is one of the issues that systemd purports to solve, and it gets nothing but flack for it.

Granted, systemd does have its flaws. But the religious war around it is unjustified.

Systemd-init, the core part of systemd, offersa wide range of features surpassing other init systems. More features lead to more bugs and security vulnerabilities.

This is a bad take. Many of systemd's features improve security significantly. And having all that code in one cohesive place can't possibly be inherently less secure than the cornucopia of init scripts we used to use.

There was a post the other day about how Reddit never took anything seriously and how the top comments were always predictable jokes that stopped being funny years ago.

It was nice to have places like Daystrom, Ask Science, etc. that were curated for serious discussion.

That's okay. It's good to live in a world where very different people enjoy very different things. I'm glad we can all be part of a social federation and still get along despite our infinite combinations of infinite diversity.

Unfortunately, outside of the meme zone (i.e. !risa@startrek.website) there isn't a whole lot of engagement anymore. Once the blackout was over, the reddit communities opened back up.

I mean, look at r/DaystromInstitute versus !DaystromInstitute@startrek.website – it's not pretty.

In an interview during the 90's, William Shatner told of a story of him being recognized in mid-perfomance by a sword dancer in a small Iranian village. The man stopped dead in his tracks and looked straight at him uttering with utter amazement; "Captain Kirk?!?" That should give us perspective as to how deep and far Star Trek reached people for the last 51 years.
