> Seems like you have an axe to grind with systemd because it replaced your familiar (but extremely cruddy) init system and now you refuse to debug the problem because you prefer being able to blame systemd.

I'm a pragmatist: I just want it to work

my solution to MULTIPLE different services binding to IP addresses is to turn on non-local ip binding

I've written an init before (in C), I know how the netlink interface to set an IP address and add routing table entries works

I understand the difference between monotonic and wall clocks

I know what's going on at every, single, level

and I can't stand how unreliable systemd makes nearly every single one of my, bluntly, completely vanilla systems

did you read the link I pasted earlier?

I'm not wasting my time with that level of idiocy (from LP himself)
