       Linux From Scratch Abandoning SysVinit SupportLinux From Scratch was one of the holdouts continuing optional SysVinit init system support through 2026, but that's now ending. Linux From Scratch "LFS" and Beyond Linux From Scratch "BLFS" are ending their System V Init support moving forward...https://www.phoronix.com/news/LFS-Dropping-SysVinit

       @drq @phoronix my (horrible) take is that there is no reason to support sysvinit because half of it is a legacy that doesn't make sense anymore and half of it is manual labor.If LFS is trying to teach you something, it's better to teach something that exists in real life. And that would be systemd almost in all cases and where it's not it's openrc.

       @a1ba That's fair, but still, I'd rather have LFS support it. If anything, it's a piece of history.@phoronix

       @drq @phoronix on that note, maybe we need system software museums.Documenting and preserving the engineering solutions we had back then, so we will never repeat the mistake again.Like sysvinit runlevels. Or cron syntax.

       @a1ba@suya.place @phoronix@masto.ai @drq@mastodon.ml Those are fine but i still find crontab -e easier and quicker
