    The UNIX philosophy is “Everything is a file.”

    systemd doesn’t follow that, with its binary logs and stuff.

    Just part of why I keep going back to FreeBSD.

      Replace everything is a file with “everything is a byte stream with a file handle” and your there.

      There is A LOT of Unix that doesn’t stick to the convention of “everything is a text file” and for good reason.
