       Imagine wondering “When’s the next time that Christmas will be a Tuesday/Wednesday, for those sweet optimal public holidays (Jan 1st being exactly a week later)?”Now imagine asking, idk, google or Siri or god forbid an actual calendar, instead of turning to the best tool for the job: systemd.#systemd #linuxadmin #linux #systemd

       @dequbed Right?! It feels so wrong, and yet, systemd-timers are so *nice*. They have a status and know when they will run and when they have run, and you do need to know how to deal with calendars for this.

       @lambisio Yeah, well, I’m feeling conflicted bth. On the one hand, yes, systemd is eating everything.On the other hand, this is for systemd-timers, and they are just so *nice*.
