We got to work with the #systemd team to strengthen Linux 💪
DNS lookups on Linux need to be so fast you don’t notice them, without compromising security. Our team recently helped:
🔧 extend test coverage
🔧 ensure edge cases are covered
🔧 and fix some parser bugs
Discover more about DNS security, what we did in detail + get a look at the tests we added on our blog: https://neighbourhood.ie/blog/2025/07/23/nh-stf-s01e04-systemd

Hey @systemdUltras #systemd #systemdultras
How to pause a timer during the execution of a service?
Usecase: I have a timer that does a mail-sync every 10 or 15 minutes. I have another timer that does a backup every day at 11. During the run of the backup, I want to pause the mail-sync.
I bet there's a way to properly do this with systemd - I am just not sure what the right way is.
Btw, both of these services are user-services, if that matters.

The systemd project was and is a huge leap forward for Linux. I can't imagine doing sysops without it.

Having a totally normal lazy Sunday morning, working out the best way to set up an object storage service on my home network.
I'm trying to figure out setting up an email (SMTP) service on my little hosted machines, so I don't need to rely on any particular mail provider.
Which leads me to thinking I really like how #Podman can generate #SystemD units to automatically manage the service containers.
And that has led me to the conclusion I probably should wait for #Debian Trixie release next month, when I can migrate past Podman 4.3.
How do you manage SMTP service for yours, @mike?
