A remarkably sober analysis of what problem systemd solves for Linux … at a BSD conference of all places. ?
Thomas Dullien of Google’s Project Zero on why security suffers because it’s actually cheaper to build more complex things (i.e. ship some piece of hardware with a general purpose processor and define features in software instead of using a purpose-built chip).
