Today, I was trying to track a bug I ran into at Google Compute Engine. There was a moment when I ended up in a directory called /var/lib/google.
I felt strange. I didn’t know why. It was like when you visit a guru who puts you into regressive hypnosis to remember your previous life. Then you wake up, and you feel crap because you can’t remember what you did there, but you know the trip was horrible.
On GCE, there is only 'google' in /var/lib. Since I know that hiding and praying doesn’t always help, I logged in my CI server a VM-guest server to check their content.
Maybe I misunderstood something in the last few years. Please tell me that tomorrow, when I wake up, my servers won’t be running systemd.
