Working with Systemd Timers

The other day I thought to myself that it would be a good idea to have some backups of my data. So I was wondering, how would I execute a periodic backup task?

Replace Docker Compose with Quadlet and Systemd
(matduggan.com)
So for years I've used Docker Compose as my stepping stone to k8s. If the project is small, or mostly for my own consumption OR if the business requirements don't really support the complexity of k8s, I use Compose.

Why systemd is a problem for embedded Linux
(kevinboone.me)
The Internet is full of rants about systemd, and I don’t want this post to be another one. Many of the complaints people make about it don’t stand up to much scrutiny, even the technical ones; and many complaints are not even technical. My particular interest in Linux is primarily for embedded applications; and there, I suggest, systemd is creating a potential (technical) problem.

Porting systemd to musl Libc-powered Linux
(catfox.life)
I have completed an initial new port of systemd to musl. This patch set does not share much in common with the existing OpenEmbedded patchset. I wanted to make a fully updated patch series targeting more current releases of systemd and musl, taking advantage of the latest features and updates in both. I also took a focus on writing patches that could be sent for consideration of inclusion upstream.
