This is a really unfortunate choice of the binary name - it collides with a classic UNIX utility. I use it everyday and it would be very annoying for the program to do something unexpected.

For sure there are also other use cases, where just putting entries in /etc/hosts is not enough and it's useful to add one more entry to DNS resolver on machines that should be able to reach specific and probably dynamic destinations.
That's actually a fun exercise to come up with these use cases.
w3m works really great with framebuffer. imho it renders webpages in a cleanset way, compared to all other text browsers. plus it has default vim-like keybindings.
What a great comment. It makes sense to not spend too much space on the quality of the script in it, so I want to do it shortly in this one.
This script is beautiful.
I write and read shell scripts mostly for fun, and this one is something I will refer to for quite some time. It really shows that shell scripts can be nice and readable.
__app_dev__, thank you for your 'Show HN' submission.
Also thought that some of the technical points were good, but...
Mixing together Linux and Unix?
Saying that killing a process from command line in Linux is bad because MacOS has GUI for that?
Not explaining in more detail a claim that C is responsible for Spectre?
Topping a technical presentation with political statements?
> knowing what the majority wants is still interesting.
Totally agree.
> Looking at the most voted option tells you what the majority thinks.
My point is that the options are designed specifically for this type of voting system.
Here it is possible that anti-systemd votes are spread across many options and pro systemd votes are concentrated in only one or two. So even if you have most votes on "Focus on systemd" it doesn't mean that it is what most people want.
> the runner up option is Proposal F "Focus on systemd". Proposal F is also the most voted option.
I'd say that in this voting system a statment like that is not really important
in any way. You'd have to compare it to sum of options that don't focus on
systemd as an example or some other combinations.
