On  2013-03-28[1],  I ditched netcfg. Yesterday, netcfg officially got
 replaced by netctl[2] Well.

 I realized, though, that scripts are not the way to go. I'm forced  to
 use systemd anyway, so I might as well use unit files. Like the one at
 [3].  It's a little bit better  because  it  "binds"  to  the  network
 interface.  As  a  result,  the  unit  file  is  not  being run if the
 interface is not yet present -- and the  service  is  stopped  if  the
 interface goes away. With USB WiFi sticks, this is sort of relevant.

 Speaking of systemd... I gave in. Arch Linux simply offers me the best
 operating system. So, I "accept" systemd. It's not nice,  it's  overly
 complex  and  what  not.  But at the end of the day, there's only Arch
 Linux and OpenBSD. And I  still  don't  get  some  things  to  run  on
 OpenBSD.

 Maybe I should try harder.
