    true, but as you've said that all muslims want to kill every white christian (what about black christians?), you are guilty of the same paranoid ideas

    "They have COMPLETELY forgotten that the Muslims have _ALWAYS_ hated us. They hate us because we're white and Christian. They hate us because they think they should rule the world, and because by merely existing, we stand in their way and we are holding them away from their birthright (i.e. our stuff and our territory)."

    Its only a very small section of muslims, blaming all muslims is a generalisation of the worst order. Extremist Christians also want to rule everything so its 50 of one and 50 of the other for all religious megalomaniacs. Its just lucky that there are more sensible christians, different religions and those with no religion to keep the stupid ones in check, but unfortunately the sensible muslims aren't able to control their nut jobs because they'll be killed. Unfortunately because of the religious based rulers/laws in these places, people of different religions and no religion are not allowed to exist because they disrupt the closed thinking and its stops progress to a civil and equal society.
    Its not surprising that virtually all the most dangerous countries are strongly religious, christian and muslim.

    A civilised society doesn't need guns. If you are living in a civil war zone, then yes you have a reason to have one. Last time i look at the news, i didn't think the USA is currently in a civil war despite Trump trying to whip one up with his stupid rhetoric. Having a gun seems to be the penis extension for those who are still stuck in the 200 year old civil war because that is where they get their justification from. Some poor waitress just had her brains blown out because she asked a customer to stop smoking the restaurant.

    No need for "ForwardToSyslog=" soon, once the newer version of syslog/rsyslog are installed as they now do their own extraction.

    the journal does a lot more then syslog ever did, and gives you a lot more information per record. But syslog/rsyslog now do their own extraction of journal data into their systems, no longer need to configure journald to forward if you use them.

    Just use the latest syslog/rsyslog, they extract all the logs from the journal themselves these days without journald being configured to forward them. Try using journalctl to read the journal, its a powerful tool

    you need to stop confusing systemd (the binary) and systemd (the project) - it certainly was a mistake to call them both the same name and has caused tons of confusion which trolls use to post crap.

  21. but you can write your own version logind to exclude those calls - the choice is yours. LP himself wrote a shim library for Gnome to use logind without systemd but they chose not to use it.

    The choices are out there, its time to stop whining and make them

  22. but yet the kernel is monolithic and the systemd project is not. Debian seems to have ways of swapping out systemd.

  23. And it's reasonable architecture for power management controls to depend upon power managing daemons.

    But it's not reasonable for it to depend on a particular init system.

    that's the choice of the developer/maintainer how sh/she codes their software

  24. "difficulty with binary log formats" - maybe you need more practice with "journalctl" or perhaps install the latest versions of syslog or rsyslog as they now extract logs from the journal themselves and you don't have to rely on configuring journald to forward them
