IMHO systemd tries to go above the requirements of an init system and behave more like an abstraction layer to the OS, in the same way Linux is an abstraction layer to the hardware. Would we be better with a micro kernel, instead of the Linux beast? Maybe, but we do all use it and it is mostly a standard nowadays. Same for systemd. Could it be simpler? Sure! But having a standard abstraction layer at user level for all distros is excellent for an app developer. And, AFAIK, it should be possible, albeit less verified, to disable most features and use alternative implementations.
If you only need to worry about the IP changing, then your ISP is not using NAT, or CGNAT as it is better known. I'm pretty sure that you can also use port forwarding, which is not commonly available under CGNAT.
I have a single server with everything inside. By using Tailscale to access my server I'm giving full access to it and the entirety of my network to a third party tool that I don't know that well.
But it is incredible the power those points have in our mind! Just now I'm being downvoted for a comment I did and I immediately felt the need to go there and justify the point I was trying to make. It took some effort to convince myself that I don't care about that and that I don't have to justify to those that didn't understand my point.
So, by this you say that that egg when the egg was first laid it was not a chicken egg, but after the mutation it became a chicken egg? How do you determine if an unhatched egg is a chicken egg then? At this point I think we're better off calling all eggs Schrodinger eggs, because we never know what they are until hatched.
Filesystems may be remounted read only on error. I'd expect that to be reverted post reboot, but maybe your error was big enough for it not to? You may want to search how to perform an fsck on the affected partitions.
Would the following argument hold: if the forced arbitration clause didn't end after the trial period, then whatever access was granted to you during said trial will also not end, so you are allowed to pirate the previously granted content?
