  • That warning comes up if you are using sd-vconsole but do not have systemd in the mkinitcpio hooks. You should fix that but it is most likely unrelated to the login issue.

    Login issues normally hint at either the user shell or pam configs being wrong but you can also get this behavior if (the users home directory is on a secondary disk && that disk failed to mount && you aren’t using systemd-homed).









  • I mean, you shouldn’t really parse any language (markup, script or otherwise) with regex. The point is there are other tools for the job that get you closer to what the actual interpreter is expecting to see. It’s really easy to botch a regex and accidentally create new syntax matches.

    Regex is fine for noncritical parsing. You’ll often see it used for text editor / IDE language syntax highlighting, but you should also have noticed by now how often that tends to break down with more extreme combinations of syntax.

    I do agree that lexers should still be preferred for manual manipulation of existing langues, but do whatever you want. It’s not like any of us can stop you.
