Fuck systemd. Seriously. FUCK THAT SHIT. I am so goddamn tired of it getting its nasty, poorly-coded, bug-ridden fingers into EVERYTHING like some kind of goddamn Microsoft library would.
I can't use the shutdown command anymore, because systemd says "but you have a terminal open! In your own UID! that you're issuing the shutdown command from!" and prevents it from happening.
So I have to instead systemctl reboot -f. And the -f is REQUIRED because see above, re my own TTY.
IT GETS WORSE.

@jimsalter@fosstodon.org Oh NO, another toxic anti-systemd person! I got my harkonnen heart plug installed by lennart himself and I feel SO much better! /s

I needed to reboot a client server, which normally I would do with at 1800 shutdown -r now. But I can't do that anymore, and I can never remember the arguments for systemctl, so I look them up. OH HEY, how convenient, there's a "when" option. No need to faff about with at anymore! Just do --when=+220min, as documented at https://linuxcommandlibrary.com/man/systemctl-reboot !
