Organize, O toilers, come organize your might;
Then we’ll sing one song of the workers’ commonwealth
Full of beauty, full of love and health.

I’ve seen an elderly man working at the HEB I frequent. He looks frail. I wouldn’t want to be bagging groceries at his age.

Rule of Acquisition #91: Your boss is only worth what he pays you

Try systemctl --user restart pipewire pipewire-pulse

I might accept the premise that inflation is higher than officially reported, but I don’t accept the relevance of your evidence in support of that premise.

A lot of cases end in a financial settlement where the company doesn’t admit guilt.

Every company always claims they did nothing wrong. Is it even necessary for journalists to ask for a statement from a company? Just take it as read they deny whatever they’re accused of. You think a CEO is going to make an evil cackle, twirl their mustache, and admit everything?

Also look back on the history of the French Revolution and how many aristocrats literally lost their heads.

I really don’t understand dbus.

I think systemd targets work opposite to your expectation. The Wants in [unit] define the things that that unit needs to already be available. For instance, you might add Wants=network.target to the unit for nginx so that it won’t try to start until the network is available. When I wrote a unit to start my company’s application, I also had Wants=postgresql.service to ensure that the database came up before the application. Remember that sysyemd tries to run as many things in parallel as it can. This is one thing that makes it much faster than classic sysvinit which started things sequentially. But it means race conditions can occur. You use Wants to break those races where necessary. The targets that you’d specify in WantedBy in [install] more closely resemble SysV runlevels. You might want to read how runlevels used to work in SysV, in order to understand systemd targets.

Every user can enable services from /etc/systemd/user for their account. If the user doesn’t log in, their instance of the service won’t start. There is a way to have user services launch without logging in, but that would obviously be nonsensical for desktop services.

I don’t think systemd would find units in /etc/systemd/user/KDE. Look at the mess that is /usr/lib/systemd/system. Organization doesn’t seem to be a thing.

For your unit files, you have Wants in the [Install] section. That is not correct. Wants belong in the [Unit] section. The [Install] section is where you define WantedBys. You may want to read the man page for systemd.unit.

To interact with user services, you do have to always use systemctl --user.

If you put your user unit files in /etc/systemd/user, they’re accessible to all users. If a particular user wants to enable the service, they can run systemctl --user enable $service. Defining the unit in ~/.config/systemd will mean only the one user will be able to start the service. Defining the unit in /etc/systemd/system indicates it is not a user service but a system service.

Roger, at Cornell University they have an incredible piece of scientific equipment known as the tunneling electron microscope. Now, this microscope is so powerful that by firing electrons you can actually see images of the atom, the infinitesimally minute building blocks of our universe. Roger, if I were using that microscope right now… I still wouldn’t be able to locate my interest in [Intuit’s] problem.

The danger is that places that don’t get cold often get hot. And don’t forget about climate change with regard to heat. Some homeless around Houston die every summer when they don’t have access to air conditioning.

Simple! Just change the gravitational constant of the universe.

Won’t someone please think of the corporate real estate market!?

I hired a professional to do my 2022 taxes. I had finally gotten access to an IRA that I inherited from my mother. She passed in 2014. Reading through the rules on inheriting IRAs, I knew I had missed RMD withdrawals, but I couldn’t find satisfactory answers on how much I needed to pay. The pros were able to calculate that for me and told me the amount to withdraw. They also drafted a letter to the IRS explaining the situation and asking that I be excused the penalty for missed RMDs. I got a letter back from the IRS in February accepting the explanation.
