I browsed for this bit on systemd my Nexus. Was excited for the synopsis. Was slightly disappointed that the statement about systemd opening a wormhole was in jest. But hey, dare to hope. section 4.9 and
the foreword by Paul Vixie is wonderful.
The Colophon keeps the interest up, for those who toil in government SGML, to paraphrase. "FrameMaker has no future." "InDesign has no present." The WYSWYG cries of Linux GUI tools have never been better stated. I did check out the recommended site for fonts for code display metrics. http://input.fontbureau.com Nice little widget so you can preview the font look.

Android 6 "mobile friendly" browsing reflowed the pages nicely, most of the time. My LG, Android 4x doesn't reflow, however the native site code took care of that display issue on all pages. Thanks, its a nice read and bookmarked for reference.
Ivan.

Planning on a trip to a parallel universe? ;)
Well I note that the principal author, Evi Nemeth is listed only as MIA. Perhaps she was testing the systemd targets and just hasn't returned yet. Jan Carlson once said to me that Unix mythos did take some wierd turns. This could be one of them. ;-)

Evi Nemeth and her crew sadly went missing when her yacht went down in a storm in the Pacific in June or July 2013. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evi_Nemeth There is a tribute to Ms Nemeth in the book. Ivan.

I saw that. Maritime law is peculiar whenever the corpus is absent when a ship founders. https://www.crewcounsel.com/maritime-legal-battle-rages-over-florida-teenage...
