In the spirit of giving credit where it is due, I had my first foray into systemd last week. It is well designed, implemented and documented. Kudos! If I have one complaint, its that in the documentation many subject matters that are related are divided into different areas (for example systemd.socket, systemd.service and systemd.exec). I’d [...]

At first the cancellation process seemed to go smoothly. The representative was quite nice on the phone. After offering to give me a special deal, she promptly agreed to [...]
Like many people I use a bunch of Google services. And while many people have privacy concerns, that is not really one of my concerns. I have, I think, a bigger concern: Google has figured out the things I would like to buy, but cannot afford! And they keep showing me the ads for these [...]
