[$] Systemd as tragedy

Tragedy, according toWikipedia, is "a form of drama based on human suffering thatinvokes an accompanying catharsis or pleasure in audiences". Benno Rice tookhis inspiration from that definition for his 2019 linux.conf.au talk on the story ofsystemd which, he said, involves no shortage of suffering. His attempt tocast that story for the pleasure of his audience resulted in a sympatheticand nuanced look at a turbulent chapter in the history of the Linux system.
