“I hate systemd, it’s bloated and overengineered”

And built poorly by people who don't work well with others and then payola'ed onto the world.

people stay, perched precariously on their huge tower of shell scripts and cron jobs.

Fucking UNIX is shell scripts and cron jobs, skippy. Add xinetd and you're done.

yeah I just hate the move away from flat text files honestly. Its one thing I did not like about windows NT with the registry. databasing up the config.

Which part of systemd's config is not text-based? The only "database" it uses for configuration is the filesystem

[-] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 2 points 3 weeks ago

well its text but its just a bit more complex of a flat file. like yaml. like one thing I really liked about cisco ios was how the config file the commands where pretty much the same thing. granted thats not unix but its the simplicity level that is ideal to me.

systemd config is inspired by INI, with section headers and key-value pairs. It doesn't get much flatter than that. It doesn't compare to YAML or JSON.

ini as in windows init files?
