When I made runasd everyone complained about it using pam, so I decoupled it from pam and added a shadow authentication backend!

rust as a language has not brought a single improvement to any free project, I'm reaching a point where I consider any rust project actively harmful and disregard any software developer who uses rust for their projects

Does anyone use systemd-credentials?
I keep seeing it mentioned everywhere and systemd documentation references it a lot but I don't think I've yet seen anyone who actually uses it
I think a system wide credential manager would be nice to have, it would solve a couple of issues I've encountered on my setups, but I don't see the need to invest time in that if no one would use it :p

first time using the new fedora ananconda installer, it does look nicer than the old one, but I'm a bit confused about the usage of web stuff for it
on one thing its like, fedora is the gnome distro, why did they not use libadwaita for it? that seemed like a more obvious choice
secondly, being able to go back or reload the page while the user is on the installer progress page seems... dangerous?

The gardenhouse live ISO system is now public!!
It features an ISO loader profile, as well as two default profiles that provide a day-to-day and a minimal desktop. The ISO loader profile allows users to provide any custom florist profile and convert it into a live ISO with home persistence and ramdisk out of the box, no extra changes needed!!

Gardenhouse now has a proper installer (framework)!
It allows fully automated zero-touch installations, through ISOs, full disk images and iPXE booting!! It ties in with florist, even using a florist profile to build the installer stub, and can be immediately used on any florist profiles!

udev is destroying my mind I'll be so honest systemd-udevd is the worst thing to ever happen
even if it wasn't systemd, it's so god awful and complicated and the config format is just terrible and sure it's very flexible but at some point we need to question what parts are better handled by other programs

Because for some magical reason gnome control center depends on systemd-hostnamed to show the hostname, and also because I was kindly asked by someone who's working on getting GNOME into guix, Gardenhouse gained a new component (that im not too proud of lol)!
Gardenhostd, it's a super minimal python implementation of the systemd-hostnamed, that currently only implements SetHostname, SetStaticHostname and SetPrettyHostname which just write to/read from /etc/hostname
But it's easily extensible so if any extra interfaces are required at some point it can be added trivially
This isn't gonna get the same love as any other Gardenhouse component, I'm not gonna bother with a news page or docs, because quite frankly I think hostnamed is an awful solution to a problem that doesn't exist and it's stupid that gnome control center would hard depend on it

Systemd added a birthDate field in userdb to "comply" with the new age verification laws[1]
Since GardenerDB is meant to work as well as possible as a drop-in to systemd-userdb, I am forced to also add this field, but I refuse to properly implement it
GardenerDB will hardcode the birth date to be 1998-07-06 for every user, any application that accesses that field for whatever reason will be happy to have that field, and the user will be happy that they don't have to reveal their actual age.

my grandma still uses an s5 because she only calls her family
suggesting to get a new phone, even if she understood the concept of updates, would get you strange looks because the phone still works and she can still stay in contact with her children

something funny about my setup is that for pretty much since I installed Gentoo it always had and automatically started xfce-notifyd

so now I just have accepted that I will forever be using xfce-notifyd for notifications on every desktop/wm I use
