Sabella<p>I was Today years old, when I finally dug deep enough into the systemd rat's nest, to learn that it creates a directory in /var/log/journal based on the Machine ID, located in /etc/machine-id. and, judging by the last time each directory on my system was touched, a new machine-id is generated each time you do a distro upgrade. and no effort is made to clean up the old logs.</p><p>edit: the plot thickens. I was Today years old when I also learned that machine-id should be static, ie it shouldn't change if you're doing a distro upgrade.</p><p>furthermore, crawling through my / partition, I discover that, while the kernal removal tool does indeed remove kernels... if you're using bleeding edge for hardware support, it leaves behind hwe-tools.</p><p>I've already got several other bug reports to give the Linux Mint team so it's time to get off my lazy tail and finally make a GitHub account.</p><p><a href="https://furs.social/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>linux</span></a> <a href="https://furs.social/tags/systemd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>systemd</span></a> <a href="https://furs.social/tags/linuxmint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>linuxmint</span></a> <a href="https://furs.social/tags/opensource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>opensource</span></a></p>
