Does resolve.d let me use DHCP address with a manually set DNS server yet?

And how do you do this in gnu shepherd?

You don't!

Correct. I fucking hate systemd.

Ok, just stop complaining. Almost everyone else disagrees and most of the community doesn't even know that there is a different init system. Systemd was widely accepted 6 years ago and we have moved on.

The good news is that you don't have to use it. The bad news is pretty much everyone expects you to be using it.

How is chown-R someuser different from systemctl—user?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 5 months ago

one is giving the permission to manage the system service to a specific user, the other is running the service as the current user so they have permission to manage it by default

[–] [email protected] 44 points 5 months ago (1 children)

he's trying to run the service as a user without run sudo, good luck trying that with runit

And people who like systemd just thought of the first part of the answer which is exactly what the asker ended up doing.

Which is basically the same as the runit way while putting everything in the user's directory.

I'm gonna fuck up my desktop now breaking away from systemd

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I would switch off, but it just doesn't seem worth the effort for something I rarely interact with.

If it’s providing you the functionality you want using an overhead you’re fine with, there’s no reason to change it.
