Summary: Techrights will explore a migration to Devuan some time in the coming weeks or months
THE UPLOAD above is an image from figosdev, not exactly a fan of systemd. But he's not alone. Other people, including associates of ours, have grown tired of systemd for purely technical reasons. It causes issues. Techrights still needs to run jobs in the background to ameliorate such issues. I myself have been more or less neutral or at least apathetic on the matter for many years. To be frank, init systems (systemd was initially introduced as such) aren't something I'm sufficiently familiar with to comment on.
We recently
noted that we had run the site on CentOS since 2006. This, however, might change soon. We might experiment with Devuan and see how well it works as a server. There should be plenty of time to entertain the idea and experiment around Christmas. This isn't yet a
promise that we will make the move, only an assurance that the possibility is being explored.
