Having given a shot to OpenRC on Alpine systems, I would say that I prefer systemd for creating and managing services.

I like its unified logging, which extends even beyond the host, integrating the logs of nspawn containers. I like its tmpfiles, which allows configuring temporary files, without writing scripts that create/cleanup them.

I have to admit, however, that I don’t like all of its subsystems. For example, I don’t want networkd and resolved anywhere near my configuration.

You can install SmartTube on Android TV. It’s the YouTube TV app, but without ads.

Hope EU puts pressure to make google allow apps to run independently without GMS or atleast install them as user apps(like graphene os sandboxed play services).

I doubt they will put any pressure. EU decided to rely on GMS for their upcoming Digital ID app. While they claim they want to switch to open source alternatives of big tech services, they designed their app so that it forces EU citizens to either comply with Google’s ToS, or Apple’s.

Don’t worry much about my cat. I will totally respect any decision.

I am so sorry to hear that. I run the Margit profile in your instance, but I wasn’t aware of your plans to shut it down.
