It is very verbose, and floods the logs. With syslog, I put them       in a different file and rotate them faster, keeping only warning or       emergency level for longer.              With systemd I can do nothing. The entire verborrea of nntp is kept, and       the total is either rotated faster, or grow huge faster.              --       Cheers, Carlos.       ES🇪🇸, EU🇪🇺;              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
