And he is a huge geek, with tattoos of early arcade video games, and at least a fair bit of electronics and general maker know how. Most of his mouse heads have fans for ventilation and cameras and screens (cause the angles are wrong for easily looking down at the board), and he designed and built the first ones. I think he still designs them (if they change), but he has a company actually make them now if I recall... And hooking up all those racks of equipment goes beyond just plug port A into port B. I feel like I saw something that indicated that he has some programming ability too. If he was older he would probably be/have been a /.er

>Paint over init and cron, pam and login. Put all of that into PID1 along with dbus

Init is in PID 1 with systemd, and it is pretty natural for an init system that can already trigger on various events to also support triggering on absolute and relative times. As for dbus, PID 1 does expose a private dbus interface, but it is NOT the system dbus daemon. Logind, journald, PAM, the dbus daemon - those are NOT in PID 1

That line just shows you are completely ignorant or a troll, or both.

It is fine to have some issues with systemd, I do myself, despite being overall in favor of it, but at least have them be real issues...

I would say that Nimrod is very well know as a term for idiot. I think most everyone I know would think of "idiot" before they thought of "hunter". I don't think I learned the meaning "hunter" until I was in my 20's. That is in the US of course, might be different elsewhere, perhaps places where Loony Tunes was less well known (Bugs Bunny calling Elmer Fudd a "poor little Nimrod" is where it first picked up the "idiot" connotation). In any case it was widely understood when I was in elementary and high school (80's and 90's)
