"In one thing you have not changed, dear friend," said Aragorn: "you still speak in riddles."
"What? In riddles?" said Gandalf. "No! For I was talking aloud to myself. A habit of the old: they choose the wisest person present to speak to; the long explanations needed by the young are wearying."

If you’re an intermediate or advanced Linux user or sysadmin, you might have felt an odd fascination with the myth of systemd. I invite you to this deep dive into systemd's nuts and bolts. I'm not…
I started reading that because I want to learn more about systemd and ended up wanting to go back to DOS. Presumably it all makes sense, but when I tried to read it my brain stopped working and my eyes slid off the bottom of the screen.
I don't know why but I just found it incomprehensible.
This is the beauty of open source. If you wrote an app called “eeznuts” and mad it something everyone needed, eventually a sysadmin somewhere would get to explain that joke to a stiff EVP, and they’d both have a good chuckle about it.
If you’re a new or intermediate Linux user or sysadmin, you might have felt an odd fascination with the myth of systemd. I invite you to this deep dive into systemd's nuts and bolts. I'm not gonna beat around the bush: It's a hairy business, it will be hard, but I promise juicy and satisfying rewards if you keep pumping through this guide.
Let’s start by uncovering the “D” of systemd, the secret sauce that doesn't get the love it deserves: D-Bus.
I've very barely dipped my toes in dbus before, and the option to have something else is on its face attractive (not a fan of XML and the late 90s/early aughties style of oop), but JSON for a system interface?
I mean, Kubernetes shows that yaml can work, but in this day and age I'd expect several options for serialisation, and for the default to be binary, not strings.
String serialisations are primarily for humans IMO, either as readers or writers. As writers we want something with comments (and preferably no "find the missing }" game), so for that most of us would prefer something like TOML if the data is simple enough, and actually Yaml for complexity at the level of Kubernetes—JSON manages to be even more of a PITA at that level.
But machine-to-machine? Protobuf, cap'n'proto, postcard, even CBOR should all be alternatives to examine
JSON is not the optimal solution for either humans nor for machines... it's a compromise in-between that is more complex to parse than most binary alternatives (and even some text-based ones, if the data can be represented in CSV tables for example), while also often requiring post-processing through beautifiers and similar to be able to visualize it cleanly for humans.
There are situations where it's the format that makes the most sense.. like in the web, where you are already working with javascript anyway. But it's not a golden bullet to use everywhere.
Yeah, JSON is essentially a side effect of having JavaScript already. It makes sense that it shows up a lot of places, especially web. But just like with JS, it's not really good, just ubiquitous.
That was a lot of really good info. I've been having to deal with some more complex systemd configurations at work which has gotten me interested in the subject. This was a really good intro and will help a lot in my own self-hosted activities as well as work.
a slightly unrelated question. do the authors at least get paid for posting things on Medium? if not, why do that? I'm unironically curious. it's a bad platform no matter how you look at it: it's closed for unregistered readers, it's typesetting sucks ass... the only reason I could see, is if the authors actually get some of the ad revenue, in which case I'd much rather pay directly to the authors.
Yes, I do get paid. Sometimes considerably (for what tech writing can provide).
Indeed, writing tech articles on Medium has allowed me to get some extra income/free-time in between jobs, which I use to upskill myself and then share what I learn with the community (with some amount of friction regarding the paywall). This self-reinforcing loop is quite appealing to me, and - I would argue - aligns somewhat with my take on the Kantian categorical imperative.
For what it's worth, I like the typesetting. Medium also has extremely good SEO, likely from some direct negotiation with search engines, I assume. Eventually I plan to move my tech writings to my own blog, with some sort of minimal ad system, no paywalls. Also, I usually unpaywall my tech articles after the window of high income dries up.
I updated the post to use the "friend link" which should allow you to read for free. (I didn't realize you could edit the link on lemmy after publishing).
in which case I’d much rather pay directly to the authors.
All my stories have a link to my ko-fi at the end, but the income from that is significantly less than what I get from Medium directly.
Edit: Thanks @hayk@lemmy.ml for donating! Much appreciated!

re: Medium I was genuinely curious why people use it, thanks for the clarification.
still as someone who writes only open source codes, it goes a bit against my religion, but I totally understand if your income depends on it! thanks for the text, and for the "friend link". as promised... ; )

Agos’un 11 Temmuz 2025 tarihli bu manşeti, tarihin, kültürün ve inancın nasıl hoyratça dönüştürüldüğüne dair yeni ve çarpıcı bir örnek.
Bin yıllık bir Ermeni katedralini “restore” edip camiye çevirmek, sadece bir yapıya değil, o yapının taşıdığı belleğe, aidiyete ve hafızaya da saldırıdır. Bu, Ermeni halkının kolektif hafızasını silme girişimidir. Adına restorasyon denilen bu zihniyet, aslında inkarın, dönüştürmenin ve gaspın kılıfıdır.
Bu nasıl bir zihniyettir ki; geçmişin mezar taşlarını kazır, kiliseleri cami yapar, sonra da “turizm” ve “kardeşlik” adıyla bunu pazarlamaya kalkar?
Bu topraklarda bir halkı sür, öldür, inkar et; ardından onların kutsal mekanlarını kendine mal et! Bunun adı barbarlık değilse nedir?
Bu, sadece Ermenilere karşı değil; tüm kadim halklara, tarihsel mirasa ve insanlık onuruna karşı işlenen bir suçtur.
Siz, bin yıldır ayakta duran bir katedrali restore etmiyorsunuz; siz geçmişi tahrif ediyor, halkların hatırasına bir kez daha hançer saplıyorsunuz. Ani harabelerinde taş üstüne taş koymayanlar, şimdi o taşların inancını, dilini, kimliğini değiştirmeye kalkıyor.
Bu barbarlıktır. Bu yağmadır. Bu, bir halkın kutsalına saldırıdır.

In the latest sign that at least some consciences are starting to wake up in Europe, France’s National Assembly - the equivalent of the U.S. House of Representatives - has produced a remarkable 153-page report (“rapport d’information”) that fundamentally challenges the European Union's current US-led confrontational approach toward China.

Wenn des Politikers Wünsche der Abneigung und Ablehung durch Pseudo-Wissenschaftler betätigt werden, dann verkommt die Demokratie zu einem Ballsaal voller Meinungsmacher und Unwissender. Wie in den USA unter Trump. Wenn demokratische Parlamentarier diesen Weg weiter gehen, ist Demokratie vollends kaputt.

Today in Labor History July 11, 1833: William Keats shot and killed Yagan, an Aboriginal Australian warrior from the Noongar people. Yagan was a major player in the early resistance to British colonial settlement of Western Australia. settlers were after him because he had killed a servant of Archibald Butler, which he did in retaliation when another of Butler’s servants shot at a group of Noongar people who were stealing potatoes and fowls. Officials sent Yagan’s head to London, where it was exhibited in a museum as an "anthropological curiosity." For over a century, the Noongar people asked for repatriation of the head. Yagan's head was finally repatriated and buried in a traditional ceremony in the Swan Valley in July 2010, 177 years after his death.
