#coredumpctl is pretty cool! I tried it first time yesterday while debugging a SIGSEGV issue with mbsync (aka isync, I hate this name ambiguity) in #Fedora.

I'm surprised that mbsync segfaults with Fedora 40 given despite being niche it is a popular choice among kernel developers.

EDIT: s/journalctl/coredumpctl/ ;-)

#linux #gdb #systemd

My complete systemd experience enlisted:

1. systemctl start/stop/restart/status
2. man journalctl && journalctl blabalbaa (always forget how it was used for some reason)
3. systemd timers (wrote this down so that I will forget it: https://jarkko.codeberg.page/2024/07/11/unprivileged-systemd-timers.html).

systemd timers are factors better than cron for periodic stuff *during the session*, such as GIO mounts and mbsync. Outside the session the user timers simply are not there, which actually makes them also more secure than having cron jobs. My fav feature in systemd so far.
