It's rant. The guy complains about the complexity of systemd but does not propose a simpler solution to the problems systemd solves. He also does not make a case that the problems systemd solves should not be solved. The old init scripts had to be executed serially at start up and shutdown but did nothing for those scripts monitoring themselves at run time. That was up to each service. I don't like complexity but I won't rant about it unless I can do better. -- Dan Espen

I have to say also that my laptop running the Gentoo-based Sabayon distro boots wicked fast with systemd. Granted, that's only after I built a custom kernel and threw out the bloated initrd they use by default but still.

If it was, a simple make file to run the init scripts would have been a way to go. systemd manages services as they run. If something dies or something gets plugged in, systemd knows what to do. -- Dan Espen

It's also about not adhering to *nix philosophy, "modernizing" Linux [sic], bloating/overcomplicating init process, taking steps towards One Linux [sic], getting rid of plain text logging, solving "problems" 99.9% of users will never encounter and so on, ad nauseam. -- :q!

Sorry, simple matter of reading the man page. Priority 2 is errors and worse. Try searching syslog for errors. Not so easy since there's no discipline put into the message format. Journalctl breaks out the fields so priority is an identifiable entity. -- Dan Espen

Given that I "have no interest what-so-ever in using systemd" (see above) that means I do not have systemd installed. Therefore I do not have the man pages installed. Yes, I could google for them, but that feels like going to too much effort for something that I "have no interest what-so-ever in using".

Ok, sorry for the previous followup, didn't read everything fully
before hitting "f".
The first thing that comes to mind to do something similar with syslog
would be to have configured one's syslog.conf to route each level to
its own individual, separate, file. So errors and worse could be "cat
/var/log/syslog/{error,...}.
Granted, not the same, but a similar separation. And yes, doing such
requires that one know how to edit syslog.conf vs. simply add a desired
switch to a command.

Which is fine, except that you should only need to boot when doing a kernel upgrade. Anytime in between you should be sleeping/hibernating, in which case "time to boot" is not an issue. systemd's claim to fame of wiked fast boot times is optimizing for a windows problem (the need to reboot to make any change to much of anything). If you almost never reboot, then speed of boot is less important. Instead they should be focusing on making sleep/hibernate reliable enough to never need to reboot.
