I don't really have anyone else to shout at about this, but it's an amazing way to host services in rootless containers entirely in user space using systemd (systemctl --user).

I like them very much as well, only thing I'm annoyed about is that you always need to drag that --user option.... I mean, if I'm not using root or sudo, shouldn't it be clear that I'm talking about the user space?

Agreed! That would be a huge QoL improvement (and work just like the podman command does). Now I'm thinking about other commands that force this silliness, like pip.

I'll probably just make an alias
