Comment Give my my SysVInit (Score 4, Insightful) 170
I'm still salty about the switch to SystemD in the first place. I grew up on the simplicity of Linux's three tenets:
1. Everything is a file
2. Everything should be kept as simple and discreet as possible
3. Text (ASCII) based files wherever possible for configs and logs
SystemD came along and just blew all three of those out of the water and made it look and act more like Windows with its complications. And now it's pushing non-needed items like Birthdate into the core functions.

I had my suspicions, but I didn't want to jump to any conclusions. So for any of you out there wondering how this journal worked out, Web 2.0 is garbage.

"If you never remember anything else in my talk, just remember these four words. It came from Microsoft Security many, many years ago," Kroah-Hartman told attendees. "They realized all input is evil. You have to validate all input."
Which four words are we supposed to remember?

All access to the software is logged, and every access has to be reported and attached to investigations.
I personally do not want a surveillance state, but it seems silly to ignore technology that improves law enforcement and saves money at the same time. As long as strict controls are in place, which do not allow abuse, and it remains within the strict uses outlined by law, why not?

I have something like ~1.2 trillion times the number of routable addresses that the entire IPv4 space has. Not all are reachable, of course, just the services that need incoming access and they're each on their own isolated DMZ.
