SystemD Gains New Networking Features
jones_supa writes A lot of development work is happening on systemd with just the recent couple of weeks seeing over 200 commits. With the most recent work that has landed, the networkd component has been improved with new features. Among the additions are IP forwarding and masquerading support (patch). This is the minimal support needed and these settings get turned on by default for container network interfaces. Also added was minimal firewall manipulation helpers for systemd's networkd. The firewall manipulation helpers (patch) are used for establishing NAT rules. This support in systemd is provided by libiptc, the library used for communicating with the Linux kernel's Netfilter and changing iptables firewall rulesets. Those wishing to follow systemd development on a daily basis and see what is actually happening under the hood, can keep tabs via the systemd Git viewer.
Shell and userland? What do you think it is, Emacs?
Learning HOW to think is more important than learning WHAT to think.
I heard the new SystemD Office word processor will be awesome.
Just wait for SystemD VM Hypervisor. It will be SystemDs all the way down.
The world's burning. Moped Jesus spotted on I50. Details at 11.
Y'know, for all it's flaws, warts, and Dice-y-ness, I think it's a good sign that the clickbait here is stuff about systemd.
Seriously - on other websites they'll drive up pageviews by posting something like "This just in: politicians you disagree with are EVIL!! EEEEEEVIIIIIL!".
What whips up the /. crowd into a frothy frenzy? :)
Systemd
Samsung is coming out with a new line of phones that run SystemD instead of Android.
Couldn't we port Emacs on SystemD and have a complete OS?
the fact that systemD integrates itself so closely with my GNU^H^H^HSystemD/Linux as PID 1 with a crapload of bloat (that leads to irrecoverable crashes that are marked as wontfix), is against the unix philosophy of doing one thing and doing it good.
Sounds like it does do one thing and one thing well: break systems and cause giant slashdot threads. Oh wait, that's two things. It does need more focus after all.
I'm not sure, but it will soon have an email client/server and the ability to publish PDFs.
you would still need a decent text editor.
The viola will depend on PulseAudio so you'll have to include that too.
"Couldn't we port Emacs on SystemD and have a complete OS?"
You'd still lack a decent editor.
