Okay, hear me out.
#systemd has `systemd-detect-virt`, but what about `systemd-detect-fash`.

So there's a decades-old mechanism (and actual standard) how programs lock serial ports on unix-like systems in /var/lock. it's used in practice even in 2025 and #systemd >= 258 simply breaks it with "we don't care". I am not a systemd opponent, but that kind of behaviour [without a prior community-wide discussion or providing patches for known-affected projects and a grace period] is just alienating users and developers github.com/systemd/systemd/iss… bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrep… #systemd #debian
/var/lock/ is the standard interface for locks of serial devices

Tak jsem konečně upravil šifrování disků na svých počítačích.
Do teď jsem zamykal heslo root file systému do #tpm2 vlastním scriptem popsaným zde:

To řešení je už 5 let staré a překonané. Ale stále funkční. Dneska už to umí #systemd nativně. Porušil jsem pravidlo "nešťourej do něčeho co funguje" a přenastavil jsem šifrování na všech počítačích. Dneska je to fakt super pohodlné nastavení.
Nechcete nějakou minipřednášku o šifrování disků pomocí TPM2 na #LinuxDays ? Zaměřeno na #Arch, jiné distribuce tolik vyzkoušené nemám. Ona jedna přednáška byla už na tom loňském, tak nevím jestli je to potřeba. 🤷
Mkinitcpio tpm2 encrypt
All my personal and company computers are powered by Arch Linux with encrypted storages. This setup brings an inconvenience of entering two passwords on startup. One unlocks the storage encryption, second logs me to my user account.Štěpán Škorpil
It's really harder and harder to understand why is #GNOME alienating itself more and more form the rest of the community. Looks like we'll end up with GTK only for GNOME and GNOME only for #Linux and #systemd. I have no problems with systemd in particular, but making it a hard requirement is a limiting factor.

Even completely headless, command line #linux doesn't prioritize #accessibility in any way. Today I had to reinstall an entire #debian system from scratch because a drive listed in my /etc/fstab died. That makes #systemd boot into emergency mode, where you get no SSH, no network, no sound, and no screen reader. There is no quick way to force it to try and boot even though drive 7 of 11 has died, and it could absolutely bring up SSH and the network to let me fix it if it wanted to, just like sysvinit used to do. You can't even force systemd to add SSH and the network to emergency mode because of circular dependencies. nofail will only continue the boot if the drive doesn't exist, but if the filesystem has issues...emergency mode for you. In short: if your drive dies on Linux, fuck you. Be able to see, or reinstall your entire system, because nobody in Linuxland gives a shit about #a11y or your needs.

To reduce having to search the web each time, I added a bunch of frequently asked questions about #systemd such as using journalctl and systemctl in a more efficient way.
Are you using #linux and systemd to its fullest? Have a look at linux-audit.com/systemd/faq/ to see. Anything missing?
Feedback and boosts much appreciated to make this section even better 🤠 💪🏻
If you're attending All Systems Go in Berlin, come see the talk by @cas and I today at 10:50am (local time) about #systemd-ifying #postmarketos 😁

I have ported #systemd to #musl. Properly. Passing all tests, properly. Booting my 2012 Ivy Bridge in 3.2 seconds, properly.
I'm aware of how unpopular this will be in some circles. But change does not happen without competition, and musl environments deserve more than what they have right now. systemd isn't a panacea, it isn't even that great, but it's here, it solves real issues people have, and it's now an option. Not a requirement, but an option.

A new way to develop on Linux
Continuing our collaboration with the GNOME Foundation, through the Sovereign Tech Fund (STF), we have been busy on multiple fronts since our last update.www.codethink.co.uk
Hey folks, we're going to be at @allsystemsgo in Berlin later this year. @cas and @craftyguy will be talking about how #postmarketOS has evolved over the last few years, our experiences with #systemd, and our plans for an #immutable postmarketOS that doesn't restrict user freedom.
If you're into low level Linux userspace and middleware definitely come along :D
this new #systemd feature is really cool
being able to *just* connect to a libvirt qemu vm is really nice, without having to think about network config
i just updated libvirt in nixpkgs to the latest version so it supports this :3

Our goal is to make GNOME OS a daily driver for QA and finalize the migration, but this work will be fundamental to the future of all secure image based / immutable Linux distributions.

Excellent summary by Solar Designer on oss-security of what's happened in the last two weeks in response to the #xz #backdoor:
openwall.com/lists/oss-securit…
Noteworthy:
- #OpenSSH implemented systemd notification
- #systemd moves to dlopen(3) for some dependencies
- another detailed timeline at research.swtch.com/xz-timeline
- similar social engineering takeover attempts suspected in #OpenJS and #OpenSSF
It's big announcement day!

I just found out that in the past few months there has been work happening in @gnome to allow for encrypting user home directories using #systemd homed : thisweek.gnome.org/posts/2024/…
It appears as though this would put each home directory inside its own LUKS container that would be locked when the user logs out or the hardware suspends. This would be a major improvement to the security profile of #Linux on the desktop!
Currently, on most systems (including Linux) regular user data is only effectively protected by system encryption when the hardware is completely turned off, but not when it is suspended.
My personal vision with all of this is to see #wayland desktop technologies not only catching up with what other OSs offer, but becoming leading players - just like what other FLOSS projects already archived (or are in the process of becoming) in their areas. I'm thinking of #mesa, #pipewire, #gstreamer, #systemd, the kernel of course, and many others.
