SystemD Service Hardening

Controversy aside, systemd provides us a very complete, robust method of controlling services (amongst a multitude of other Linux things).

Good system design

I see a lot of bad system design advice. One classic is the LinkedIn-optimized “bet you never heard of queues” style of post, presumably aimed at people who are new to the industry.

OnePlus will limit bootloader unlocking, but it’s not all bad news

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR OnePlus is placing new restrictions on bootloader unlocking. It requires filling out an application form and limits the number of requests to one every 30 days. Thankfully, these limitations only apply to Chinese users (so far) and only on devices running at least ColorOS 16 based on Android 16.
