I have ported to . Properly. Passing all tests, properly. Booting my 2012 Ivy Bridge in 3.2 seconds, properly.

I'm aware of how unpopular this will be in some circles. But change does not happen without competition, and musl environments deserve more than what they have right now. systemd isn't a panacea, it isn't even that great, but it's here, it solves real issues people have, and it's now an option. Not a requirement, but an option.

And here, from the frontpage of HN, is an unofficial component library that emulates the GOV.UK "Design System”… in Vue.

Thank you for your email. I am currently out of the office. If you need to reach me, I have left an intricate trail of clues, each more fiendish than the last. Beware, though — for if you seek me out, so may the hunter become the hunted. And perhaps you will reveal secrets best left buried.
