Imagine the computer as a shopping mall, which has a name and address (i.e the IP address).
A port is a specific store in that mall, from were you can get specific things.
The analogy even holds further in that for certain “stores”, the same store by name of certain chains (i.e. Burger King) will provide the same service in different malls if its present there (for example, port 80 is were the HTTP service is, by convention) and the same kind of service can be provided in other stores (nobody stops you from having an HTTP service on a different port).
Were the analogy breaks is that unlike with chain store names (which are protected by trademark) there really is no enforcement that a certain port has a certain service (i.e. you can put whatever service you want on port 80 of a computer you control) and certain services being in certain ports is merely a convention.
This is the real question we have to ask ourselves. We really need to move away from looking at the internet as just a resource to extract money from, and instead see it through a social lense again. Look what late stage capitalism has done to our digital, social gathering places. Almost everything has become a product that needs to be profitable, to compete for attention and to extract as much data from users as possible and discourse has suffered greatly from it. I mean billions are donated to content creators simply because people want to contribute. Why stop there? We can shape the internet the way we want if we simply contribute and put our heads together. We don't have to make a profit. That's our strength.
started with connect for lemmy. which is visually very clean but it neither has an edit comment function nor a block user function yet. lemming has both functions but loks a lot more clunky.
One that doesn't fit the usual but is very much right in the middle of the genre is VA-11 HALL-A. You're essentially playing a background NPC in a place away from all the action of a cyberpunk story, you can see that it's all happening elsewhere but you're just in your small bar serving drinks and dealing with your personal life. Loved it.
Imagine Jesus as a director of a company that accepts all sincere applicants. The director assumes responsibility for all the mistakes his employees make, but he doesn't assume responsibility for people who only claim to be employees. People who purposely commit crimes get fired and applications by people who apply with the purpose of commiting crimes get rejected for not being sincere. (That's not to say someone who once was fired can't reapply if they're actually sincere about it, but since God sees into people's hearts and minds, you can't trick him.)
The problem of systemd is that it hasn’t been just a replacement of init as they initially claimed, and now deny they ever did. Things like Mono, Gnome and systemd are bad for the ecosystem long term.
An init done by constructive people wouldn’t be a problem at all.

Apart from the PID 1 part of systemd, almost all tools are optional.
Although I have a positive opinion about the systemd project, I used netctl instead of systemd-networkd for a long time without any problems. And even today I don’t use systemd-resolved because I use a combination of unbound and Pi-Hole in my private LAN. And so on.
So you can’t say that the systemd project has replaced various solutions in such a way that you don’t have a choice anymore.
Honestly, that looks like a fairly short list and half of the tools interact closely with useful functionality that didn’t even exist at all before systemd came around.
Sacrificing sleep time will affect your cognitive performance and increase risk for a lot of diseases. “There simply isn’t time” is usually an excuse used when you have poor time management skills, you can try an exercise of writing down what activity you have done each hour segment. This will allow you to be mindful on which activities are wasting your time.
Polyphasic sleep schedules are also not recommended, Huberman has a good episode on sleep w/ Matthew Walker: youtu.be/gbQFSMayJxk
