I listen to a prank call show where one of his recurring bits is to call people who listed used items for sale to let them know that he's not interested in purchasing their item.
Got a link?

I have legitimately had this fix weird errors with SD cards in certain devices when nothing else worked.
Sadly it doesn’t seem to be able to fix the several SD cards killed by the raspberry pis I have.
What do you mean? They can be in a single service file.
All the examples I see is there’s a network unit file, a cron unit file, etc all for one application. It would be nice to colocate.
Then there is composition of multiple applications too.
With docker compose I have a single file for running all my services.
With systemd it has to be N number of files for each service too.
Last year I decommed our last couple of servers that ran processes configured using runit. It was a sad day. I first learned to write runit services probably about 15 years ago and it was very cool and very understandable and I kind of just thought that's how services worked on linux.
Then I left Linux for about 5 years and, by the time I got back, Systemd had taken over. I heard a few bad things about it, but eventually learned to recognise that so many of those arguments were in such bad faith that I don't even know what the real ones are any more. Currently I run a couple of services on Pi Zeros streaming camera and temperature data from the vivarium of our bearded dragon, and it was so very easy to set them up using systemd. And I could use it to run emacsd on my main OpenSuse desktop. And a google-drive Fuse solution on my work laptop. "having something standard is good, actually", I guess.
The thing I don’t like about systemd is the inexplicable need to have multiple files for a service. Why can’t they all be declared in a single unit file?

It's solved, full write-up here: https://www.reddit.com/r/MinecraftUnlimited/comments/1cvo5py...
Tl:dr; It was a release file for their Minecon event. It was never meant to be public. Obsessing over a password protected in a company's S3 bucket is weird and crosses many limits.
I see you haven’t stumbled across the Minecraft community much, because this weirdness is just every day for them.
Take for example, the infamous 2B2T Minecraft server.
Exploits and game breaking mechanics by virtually impossible to discover bugs, and the no rule against hacking and cheating, have led to things people didn’t think were even possible in Minecraft over the servers ~15 year history.

I'm sorry, this a dumb comment that has no basis in reality.
HTML Imports was part of the initial set of the web components specs, there's no "cabal" or whatever that got its hands on it, and it didn't rely on JavaScript, not in the way you're probably referring to.
It was only opposed because it was separate from the JS module system, not because it relied on JS.
It's replacement: The HTML Modules proposal has general support from all vendors, just no one has put together a complete proposal yet.
It was rejected because it needed JS to even work.

How does that script handle pushing to ghcr, or pulling an artifact from a previous stage for testing?
In my experience these are the bits that fail all the time, and are the most important parts of CI once you go beyond it taking 20/30 seconds to build.
A clean build in an ephemeral VM of my project would take about 6 hours on a 16 core machine with 64GB RAM.
To be honest I haven’t really thought about it and it’s definitely something it can’t do, you’d probably need to call their APIs or something.
I am fortunate in that the only things I want to reuse is package manager caches.

Are you not worried about parallelisation in your case? Or have you solved that in another way (one big beefy build machine maybe?)
Honestly not really… sure it might not be as fast but the ability to know I can debug it and build it exactly the same way locally is worth the performance hit. It probably helps I don’t write C++, so builds are not a multi day event!
Here's a similar idea where he pretends to be calling from AT&T to let them know they have no incoming calls:
