Still boggles my mind that systemd being terrible is still a debate. Like of all things, wouldn’t text logs make sense?

Wait… it doesn’t store them in plaintext?

Nope, you need journalctl to read.

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 2 points 1 month ago

That’s asinine.

Yeah, and you need systemd to read the binary logs. Though I think there may be a setting to change to text logs, I am not sure because I avoid systemd when I can

Wouldn't compressed logs make even more sense (they way they're now)?
