The ‘modern’ stuff breaks down faster due to 1) the fact that engineering has improved so much that obsolescence can be planned without compromising functionality. 2) ‘Modern’ stuff tries to cram in multiple features which are not necessary for its basic function. For this I blame the lack of diligence from buyers. The increased complexity means more parts that can fail. I bring up the example of SystemD (no offense to anyone, user’s choice).

Why the fuck does it cost that much?!

Channel it to an underground phase change storage.

That comes with the price of lower reliability, highly non-linear behaviour and a central point of failure (or control). But, its thr user’s choice.

A man of culture, I see. Every system I admin runs SysVInit or OpenRC. I do not need a ‘dictator’ like systemd.
