udev is destroying my mind I'll be so honest systemd-udevd is the worst thing to ever happen
even if it wasn't systemd, it's so god awful and complicated and the config format is just terrible and sure it's very flexible but at some point we need to question what parts are better handled by other programs

emaxxed for years, my pinky finger can bench press 10kg
your move, vim users

tail -f access.log to watch my cgit get scraped by Facebook because apparently they ignore robots.txt

The Gardenhouse image builder is now named Florist! Hopefully this will make it easier to talk about Gardenhouse the utilities and the system images. This is part of moving Gardenhouse to its own Codeberg organization.

because I can't keep secrets
this random kde screenshot
is gardenhouse, running with no systemd
including no systemd-udev or eudev
mdevd, a shim (gardendevd), and a modified version of libudev-zero
systemd free setups will be possible again

/bin/sh should always be a statically linked posix shell and I'm tired of pretending anything else is acceptable

Because for some magical reason gnome control center depends on systemd-hostnamed to show the hostname, and also because I was kindly asked by someone who's working on getting GNOME into guix, Gardenhouse gained a new component (that im not too proud of lol)!

Gardenhostd, it's a super minimal python implementation of the systemd-hostnamed, that currently only implements SetHostname, SetStaticHostname and SetPrettyHostname which just write to/read from /etc/hostname
But it's easily extensible so if any extra interfaces are required at some point it can be added trivially

This isn't gonna get the same love as any other Gardenhouse component, I'm not gonna bother with a news page or docs, because quite frankly I think hostnamed is an awful solution to a problem that doesn't exist and it's stupid that gnome control center would hard depend on it

I just released Seedfiles v1!
It's a portable drop-in reimplementation of systemd-tmpfiles, I already managed to replace systemd-tmpfiles on my Gentoo installation with seedfiles and it just works
