I stopped reading after that. I understand the author has good reasons from his perspective. I m also realizng the need for opinionated tech solutions in order to create a cohesive system. However the authors opinion is not moving towards a direction I want to follow.
Luckily (or perhaps unluckily for you because you stopped reading) there are plenty of systemd hardening tips in the article. Its quite strange to stop reading after an init system opinion but these init system religions are nothing if not strange.
One of the things I try to do with my tech choices is watch my delta from mainstream options, where I expect most development and bug fixes happen. Given that systemd has been adopted by the bigger linux distributions I see more value in using it and have the big vendors fix any problems than trying to use niche solutions.
I m surprised that the author did have systemd hardening suggestions, didn't expect that. I 'm tempted to go back and check them.
