Parent article: The Journal - a proposed syslog replacement

Pulseaudio is crap. It hides the devices that ALSA exports for little purpose, and IME introduces more problems than it tries to solve.

Avahi is interesting in theory; but when I try to say "ping celtic.local" on my home network, there's about a 50-50 chance that it'll find what the right IP address is.

I'm not using systemd, and won't change to it, either. Enabling or disabling a sysv init scripts requires moving about a few symlinks. What more does one need?
