  • Consider yourself lucky if you haven’t been there in the times before systemd. It streamlined a lot of things under the hood that were stupidly varied among distros, like where certain configurations were placed. Really, nobody needed that and it broke a lot. Systems also introduced some sanity through service dependency awareness, e.g., which service needs to be running before the next can be started. You might find that obvious, but Linux was still stuck in the 80s on that level and essentially a guessing game.

    That said, if you want to try something else, the most reasonable but quite involved alternative is probably guix with shepherd.


  • I got this in a restaurant but it seems like basically:

    • lots of chili
    • lots of Sichuan pepper
    • deep fried chicken with a coating
    • peanuts
    • way too much oil
    • some sesame
    • few green onions

    If I were to replicate that at home, I’d probably fry the green onions, chicken, Sichuan pepper in a pan first with a lot less oil and without coating. Then add the chopped chilli, fry a bit more, add some sesame.

    The chili looks much scarier than it is. I’m somewhat spiciness resistant but not that much, and I ate quite a few of them. They probably take a mild variant.

    Peanuts are optional imho.

    Chinese friends, feel free to tear this apart.
