I make plymouth do the verbose mode because it’s cool and hacker-y. Also I like when it says “failed” and I know what failed. For a few weeks I kept having to manually start firewalld and I never would have known otherwise, update seems to have fixed that though.
Tbf, I really only have experience with fedora and thus systemd, so, I like it but I “don’t know what I’m missing” in a sense.
To be fair, this is how almost every social media site works. If you really need private comms away from all prying eyes, it’d be better to exchange email/pgp, matrix, or xmpp details through an ostensibly “private” message (i.e not a comment) here (or wherever) and do your super secret stuff there. That of course isn’t perfect as they can save the logs and all so if they’re compromised at any point it is possible to be an issue, but whaddayagonnado. Depends on your threat model anyway.
It’s also possible that you can use pgp here (though that also lacks forward secrecy), but I haven’t tested it. You’d likely have to use three of these ` to
indicate code
for it to format correctly though.Still though, such is life for social media, assume nothing is private unless you make it so, and even then hope that stays uncracked.
