Hi!
Just a little rant and feel free to ignore it.
systemd-homed… I hope none of it is ever implemented to elogind.
https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-homed.service.html
https://systemd.io/USER_RECORD/
(just count the lines of that one… its utterly complex stuff)
https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/homectl.html
NIH syndrome & what can even possibly go wrong?
I believe it is just a question of time until the first *grave* security
issue with that is revealed.
And the intended application of it: To use the own home directory on
different laptops? Why… at all… would I? Especially when one of those
laptops would be a device that I have otherwise no control over? I'd say
either I installed the laptop with Linux and thus trust it *or* it does
not ever see my $HOME.
But right on… extend Systemd until absurdity… maybe more people will see
the insanity in it.
Best,
It might be considered a provocation to gratuitously generate such
compexity/junk and take control over the user/owner. What's the next
step? systemd-instagram and instagram-ctl? Require a Facebook account to
create a user home?
Many systemd afficionados of today would have laughed with us if
these projects had ever been proposed 10 years ago. They will now accept
them withouth question.
