    next time you go through an airport, make a joke to the officers that you are carrying a bomb - see how your free speech works out for you and remember you haven't escalated to physical violence.

    trolls threatening rape and death are not subjective, would you tolerate someone directly threatening your family? You can call someone all the names you like in freedom of speech (except some examples like being anti-Semitic) but threatening someone's life in not "freedom of speech" in a civilised society

    its not about "some punk ass talking shit", its about anonymous rape and death threats against a person and/or their family. I couldn't give a shit about trolls talking shit because i don't know and therefore i don;t care about their opinion, but physically threatening my family is a different thing altogether

    its not for that childish slashdot troll, its for the trolls that threaten death and rape etc, a bit like not being allowed to shout "Fire!" or "Bomb!" in a theatre as a joke as there is no way of knowing if its true. Jail time might be a little much for a first offence but front page exposure of the exposed troll might be a start

    have a read of this section from this article for Arch for a possible solution https://wiki.archlinux.org/ind...

    Journald in conjunction with syslog
    Compatibility with a classic syslog implementation can be provided by letting systemd forward all messages via the socket /run/systemd/journal/syslog. To make the syslog daemon work with the journal, it has to bind to this socket instead of /dev/log (official announcement). The syslog-ng package in the repositories automatically provides the necessary configuration.
    As of systemd 216 the default journald.conf for forwarding to the socket is no. This means you will need to set the option ForwardToSyslog=yes in /etc/systemd/journald.conf to actually use syslog-ng with journald. See Syslog-ng#Overview for details.
    If you use rsyslog instead, it is not necessary to change the option because rsyslog pulls the messages from the journal by itself.

    " One reason X has a lot of stuff is that it supported a lot of different obscure operating systems. I guess that is why it had an ELF loader (if this is even true).

    why is it an issue, its just another tool to use. Do you complain about just how many editors are there? is more than one editor needed? you can create yourself a little alias or script (bash, bourne, zsh, etc etc) that extracts the text files and continue as normal or you can just configure it to suit your needs. heres a link on how to set up systemd to log as text https://fitzcarraldoblog.wordp...

    I know, i've used the horrible things in the long distant past. I also remember the days that anyone using a GUI was trashed. A GUI is only optional if you don't need to use GUI programs. X is an outdated mess that has a lot of the same "complaints" that the anti-systemd posters moan about (do one thing etc etc) but X gets defended instead of trashed.

    Its a distro's choice of whatever it wants to include in its distribution, no-one is forcing you to use it so its not sabotaging anyone elses stuff. systemd can be uninstalled and any init system used, its just a choice you have to make.

    This explanation is from Eric Griffiths who wrote The Wayland Situation: Facts About X vs. Wayland

    II) “X is Network Transparent.” Wrong. Its not. Core X and DRI-1 were network transparent. No one uses either one. Shared-Memory, DRI-2 and DRI-3000 are NOT network transparent, they do NOT work over the network. Modern day X comes down to synchronous, poorly done VNC. If it was poorly done, async, VNC then maybe we could make it work. But its not. Xlib is synchronous (and the movement to XCB is a slow one) which makes networking a NIGHTMARE.
