What mentally deficient cretin in the Systemd development world decided naming a file with a “-“ as first character was a good idea?
<br>
<br>
This is right up there with Oracle long ago deciding to name things “core” while ignoring the fact most people had cron jobs to find and delete core dump files on a regular basis.<o:p></o:p></p>

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you
gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his
own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
