Systemd and Linux Network Namespaces together are terrible, although each is very nice individually. I have seperated clearnet access and dn42 access via netns in a lab setup. For each program I wanted to use in both namespaces, I had to copy-paste and customize the Systemd unit. This is terrible. Too bad Systemd doesn't support this natively, but only with tricks.
#networknamespaces #netns #linux #networking #dn42 #systemd
What kind of reason is "I don't like the concept"?

Personally, I find netns very handy because you can easily isolate networks (for example, dn42 and the Clearnet). This is also what Kioubit does in dn42, for example. To reject a proposal with this reasoning I think is wrong.
#networknamespaces #netns #linux #networking #dn42 #systemd
