While I agree that sometimes Uber projects happen, for efficiency or security reasons, I don't think that Mesa is a good example as they have a scope (implement the OpenGL/Vulkan API) and stick to it.
Systemd is already confusing because of it referencing two different projects, and the overarching systemd projects scope just increases on a regular basis without what appears to external observers as a plan.
Is journald still binary? That alone made me turn away. I am using PCLinuxOS hence am systemd free. Stopped reading up on it.
"on nooo i'm gonna stop using what make modern linux OS good just because they save logs in binary, istead of binary w ith .txt 😭😭" go ahead them, make your life worse
😒
One can keep on using systemd and complain about journald and install rsyslogd and then you'd have the
journalctl -fcommand to impress your Linux noob friends ;-) and /var/log/syslog when there's trouble when journald would be dead.if you can't access journald you have a bigger problem than crying about it's binary file format, but ok keep needing to parse every fucking log using grep and taking 30 second to find anything meaningful if you hate yourself that much
