Joachim Wiberg<p>So, if you for any reason, whatsoever, are using my software, it&#39;s time to upgrade to the *latest* release.</p><p><a href="https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-29906" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2</span><span class="invisible">025-29906</span></a></p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>OpenSource</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/init" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>init</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/pid1" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>pid1</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>linux</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/finit" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>finit</span></a></p>
Joachim Wiberg<p>Finit, your *friendly Fast Init* alternative just released v4.9 🎉 </p><p><a href="https://github.com/troglobit/finit/releases/tag/4.9" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/troglobit/finit/rel</span><span class="invisible">eases/tag/4.9</span></a></p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/finit" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>finit</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/pid1" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>pid1</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>linux</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>OpenSource</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/embedded" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>embedded</span></a></p>
Joachim Wiberg<p>Sure, systemd has done lots of great things. I’m not denying that, I’ve even adopted a few ideas into my own Init system. <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/finit" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>finit</span></a> </p><p>What’s worrying is all the people who just pull all of it in without knowing how it works and what it does.</p>

Joachim Wiberg<p>Been off all week from work due to this bad flu. A few lucid moments though when I’ve been finishing the last few issues on <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Finit" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Finit</span></a> v4.5. Everything looking on track for a release as soon as I’m back to 100%<br /><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/pid1" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>pid1</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/init" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>init</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/opensource" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>opensource</span></a></p>

Joachim Wiberg<p>Vacation time means <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/FLOSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FLOSS</span></a> focus time for me. I have a slew of patches to upstream to various projects and some work on my own projects as well.</p><p>Currently I&#39;m working on <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Finit" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Finit</span></a>, the PID 1 replacement I adopted more than 10 years ago. A minor followup to the major v4.4 release I made a few months ago 😎 </p><p><a href="https://github.com/troglobit/finit/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">github.com/troglobit/finit/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>

Joachim Wiberg<p>Exactly a year ago I cut the last release of <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Finit" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Finit</span></a>.

Joachim Wiberg<p>Great weekend! Spent a lot of time with the kids, visiting. My son’s staying the rest of the week even 😊</p><p>Even managed to sit down and solve an annoying regression in <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Finit" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Finit</span></a> that’s been bugging me the past few weeks! With that momentum I finished off a few other minor things and started updating the ChangeLog for the release 😎🦄</p>
