but y'know, that's already not "systemd", so it already loses most of its emotional impact.

Originally posted by DanL View PostFFS, it's not clickbait, unless you want to assume that Michael is evil. systemd-resolved may not be what most people think of when they hear systemd, but it's still got systemd in the name and it's still part of that umbrella. Even if Michael had explicitly stated systemd-resolved was the culprit, it wouldn't change much. People would still click on the article, systemd fans/haters would still crawl out of the woodwork, and uid313 would still campaign for the entire Linux ecosystem to be rewritten in Rust.

Oh really? Go to the Linux mailing list and go tell Linus to re-write the kernel in C++17 and see what he says about C++.
Qt objects do the bounds checking, etc.Last edited by Nth_man; 29 June 2017, 03:21 AM.

The thing is, it's not even marginally. It's drastically better. Nearly all security bugs is due to bad languages and/or bad frameworks.

It's incredibly disingenuous articles like this that morally prevent me from obtaining another subscription to Phoronix.
You know it's a soft topic, choose your words more carefully. From a first perspective, even I thought it was a vulnerability that crashed the systemd daemon, not systemd-resolve. There's a clear difference there. I know you're not stupid and I'm quite aware that you made the article for click bait.
