systemd0 is a replacement for the sysvinit daemon used in GNU/Linux and Unix systems, originally authored by Lennart Poettering of Red Hat. It represents a monumental increase in complexity, an abhorrent and violent slap in the face to the Unix philosophy, and its inherent domineering and viral nature turns it into something akin to a "second kernel" that is spreading all across the Linux ecosystem.
This site aims to serve as a rundown and a wake-up call to take a stand against the widespread proliferation of systemd, to detail why it is harmful, and to persuade users to reject its use.

C++11 and 14 provide a tool that expresses single ownership of a resource, unique_ptr. When the unique_ptr is deleted, such as when its parent container is destroyed or when it goes out of scope, a custom deleter can be called instead of the delete operator. This behavior is exactly the right mix for managing a resource created by a C library.

There are many classic tech debates, and the question of what to formally call web addresses is one of the most nuanced. The way this normally manifests is someone asks for the "URL" to put into his or her browser, and someone perks up with,
Actually, that's called a URI, not a URL...The response to this correction can range from quietly thinking this person needs to get out more, to agreeing indifferently via shoulder shrug, to removing the safety clasp on a Katana. This page hopes to serve as a simple, one page summary for navigating the subtleties of this debate.
