Recently upgraded a Debian shell server here from Bookworm to Trixie. This is a warning to those considering this move.
Leonard Poettering has fuxored us once again with systemd-logid. He has decided that rather than maintaining a simple structured list of logged in users in var/run/utmp, he now wants you to talk to sytemd-logind via dbus to get the information.
This turns once simple utilities like who, w, rwhod, mesg, talk, into nightmares of code, if they actually get adapted.
Some, like who, have decided to forgo the dbus/systemd debacle and instead walk /run/systemd/sessions/ directory, open and parse each session file, clearly a more elegant approach than reading a simple file that is a simple array of structures.
I found that the source package for systemd-257.7, the one currently shipped with debian, included support for maintaining utmp/wtmp but Debian had not enabled it in the compile. I enabled it, built new systemd packages and installed them, and now things are back to normal. For those who might be in need of this the option you need to enable is =DENABLE_UTMP, this is the meson argument.,

@Protestation (English) "Markets are good, markets are forever" I agree and this is the inescapable issue when talking about China. One can offer their support and still recognize that this is not a socialist stand. It isn't that markets themselves are anti-socialist inherently, but the market economy which is implied here is.
When under Lenin the USSR underwent the New Economic Policy, it was self-admittedly not socialism, and not permanent — and indeed, despite some protest even from within the party, it went away after just a decade.
Likewise, when Vietnam also calls itself market socialist, it is quick to point out that what they have is not socialism — and that indeed, socialism is impossible for a small, developing nation like itself without being sanctioned into poverty.
Xi Jinping, on the other hand, has written that the "invisible hand" is an irrevocable part of the Chinese economy and that the government needs to know when to step back and let the market have its say and wield its power, and calls this "Chinese" socialism. This is concerning, and while we can see China doing amazing things to counteract the immediate world-ending endeavours of the United States, we should be aware that they are not the shining beacon of socialism; and even in the event that the American Empire collapses and China becomes the undisputed dominant world power, we absolutely cannot rest on our laurels.
@Protestation (English) Of course it doesn't exist under communism, but as long as there is currency, there will be markets, and there isn't a socialist state in existence that has entirely done away with them.
