Gmail is not the ideal place to sign mails, sorry:-(
I did keep breaking my private mail server because I kept playing with
it, so at some point I just gave up and moved everything over to
gmail. I use email to follow mailing lists only and google indexes
those anyway.
But this mail is not signed either, so I could still be in impostor.

They do not have the resources to pay for a github account. Guess that

Oh, I am pretty happy with systemd and won't lie about that. I would
still like to see some competition going.
And yes, any init system that needs hacks like the one tilt! is doing
for his display manager is a lesser one.
