Systemd 256.1 Fixes "systemd-tmpfiles" Unexpectedly Deleting Your /home Directory
www.phoronix.com

Initially the bug report was shot down by systemd developer Luca Boccassi of Microsoft with:

So an option that is literally documented as saying "all files and directories created by a tmpfiles.d/ entry will be deleted", that you knew nothing about, sounded like a "good idea"? Did you even go and look what tmpfiles.d entries you had beforehand?

Maybe don't just run random commands that you know nothing about, while ignoring what the documentation tells you? Just a thought eh"

Good devs, good product, I’m really excited about our shitty, shitty future.

    It's bluca, yo.

    As a random example, here is bluca breaking suspend-then-hibernate, then being a complete asshole about it, while other systemd devs are trying to put the fire out. Do read his code reviews on the latter. yuwata and keszybz have nerves of steel.

    The current behaviour is fully expected and documented

    bluca is cancer.

      He’s trying to be a little Poettering.

      I always think it’s crazy when employees of companies with paying customers act like such jackasses in public.

      Jesus Christ, what a fucking asshole. Calls the very valid complaints "trolling" before locking the fucking thread

      Funny to seem him arguing against HibernateDelaySec because of possible data loss, yet if systemd-tmpfiles purges your fucking home directory it's "documented behaviour". The superiority complex of some people...
