 "Newer" versions of systemd deployed by Fedora or Ubuntu have been
 secured, but Debian systems are still running an older version and
 therefore need updating.

 You appear to be in full confirmation-bias mode when it comes to
 systemd, and thus will accept any criticism of systemd as truth without
 applying any critical thinking at all.

  it's simpler than that, phil: i'm exhausted about 90% of the time,
am making mistakes, and haven't the energy to fully research something
that i know to be unethical in ways that are really very hard for me
to explain.

 if people - even on this list - did not go into full-on "attack"
mode, getting extremely defensive and upset when i try to point
something out, instead took the time to ask questions, it would be a
lot easier.

 this morning, i visited my host.  i hadn't been able to sleep (at
all).  i woke up on his couch around 11am after he and his family had
gone out.  i tried to have a conversation: it was as if i was
completely drunk.  my words were slurred, i couldn't finish sentences,
and i couldn't focus my eyes.  realising something was wrong i drank
two cups of water straight and within *thirty seconds* i was okay.
tired, but okay.

 much of my life i have been able to *perceive* really serious
problems far better than i've been able to *explain* them.  i'm amazed
to have gotten this far with this campaign and it's down to the fact
that so many people have helped out in so many ways.  that includes
you, most of all, phil.

 so if i may ask you something: be kind, please.  all of you.  i
appreciate your honesty, and i appreciate you keeping an eye out to
compensate for the mistakes i make.  i would however ask all of you to
be a little bit kinder in the way that you do that, that's all.  don't
ever stop being honest and up-front, though.  i'd rather you splurged
angrily than remain quiet and let a fundamental mistake cascade
through by omission.
