    [$] Systemd as tragedy
    Tragedy, according to
    Wikipedia
    , is "a form of drama based on human suffering that
    invokes an
    accompanying catharsis or pleasure in audiences
    ". Benno Rice took
    his inspiration from that definition for his 2019 linux.conf.au talk on the story of
    systemd which, he said, involves no shortage of suffering. His attempt to
    cast that story for the pleasure of his audience resulted in a sympathetic
    and nuanced look at a turbulent chapter in the history of the Linux system.
