I’m gonna be real. I dont think home directory files should handled by something named tmpfiles. I think something named tmpfiles should only handled volatile data as it is colloquially known. I get there’s a lot that can be considered that in home directories. But user data should be handled by something that is made for that and users inherently know by the name that this will mess your home directory. This only applies to monoliths and monoliths to be like systemd. Maybe you’re doing too much with a single program if your naming becomes problematic.
Especially when “tmpfiles” is an existing term of art with a very specific meaning
Tbf, this is something that only some distros do. Those distros should be reprimanded for handling home directories with the tmpfiles system, not systemd.
What distros are those?
I dont think home directory files should handled by something named tmpfiles.
The only reason its still called tmpfiles is because of backwards compatibility
Well, the back is my hand is compatible with the dev’s face. You don’t see me slapping people all willy-nilly.
I dunno, I don’t have a camera feed into your life. But considering that is the first thing you respond to a clarification it most certainly wouldn’t surprise me if you did.
this is just systemds way of telling you to listen to me when i say you gotta make backups
