The Pain of systemD...

...experienced up-close-and-personal. I've only heard bad things about it, but this is the first time I got poettered¹ trying to troubleshoot something on a customer's system. It turns out others are complaining about it too:

https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/3617
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=713567

Some fuckface decided that truncating the output and hiding useful information, adding extra code to deliberately do that and invoke an external program, was somehow "better" than just writing the full output and letting the terminal/pipeline/etc. handle the rest. I'll pipe the output if I need to. WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!

¹ poetter; poettering; poettered: a gigantic fuck-up.

Typical large corporation is a shareholder owned entity, that is controlled by some random CEO. Both shareholder and CEOs know near zero about software development, therefore they approve similar managers, who probably know even less. Usually these managers care only about imitation of progress, lying to clients, pleasing shareholders and keeping their high-paid jobs, until money run out.
