Some people love systemd and can’t stop raving about it; others love to hate it and can’t stop throwing shade at it. Even though systemd remains divisive, one thing’s for sure: since nearly all modern Linux distributions have adopted it as their default init system, learning to use it can pay off big time. Here’s a basic overview of how to use four systemd tools that make troubleshooting on Linux a breeze.

Google’s Search Relations team was asked directly whether you still need a website in 2026. They didn’t give a one-size-fits-all answer.

What Was Said Illyes and Splitt acknowledged that websites still offer distinct advantages, including data sovereignty, control over monetization, the ability to host services such as…

An attribution window is the defined time period when a marketing touchpoint — such as an ad click, email open, or page view — can be credited for a conversion.

One executive skeptical of the idea of data centers in space is AWS’s own CEO, Matt Garman. “There are not enough rockets to launch a million satellites yet, so we’re, like, pretty far from that. If you think about the cost of getting a payload in space today, it’s massive,” Garman told attendees at the Cisco AI summit, according to a Reuters report. Garman is just one of many critics of the notion that data centers can be a viable alternative. Issues such as collisions with space debris, the difficulty of supplying water as a coolant, the impossibility of fixing…

But in 2026, that focus is increasingly misplaced. Across Google Ads, Meta Ads, and other major platforms, bidding has largely been solved by automation. What’s now holding performance back in most accounts isn’t how bids are set, but the quality, volume, and diversity of creative being fed into those systems. Recent platform updates, particularly Meta’s Andromeda system, make this shift impossible to ignore. Bidding has been commoditized by automation Most advertisers…
