Anyone know how I could try this out? (I have systemd 255)

From https://github.com/systemd/systemd/releases/tag/v255

"A new component "systemd-bsod" has been added, which can show logged error messages full screen, if they have a log level of LOG_EMERG log level. This component is experimental and its public interface is subject to change."

First step is to log something with LOG_EMERG level. Then maybe make the system crash?

I just tried the repro steps for this issue [0]. Which seem to be the same as the test suite does it [1]. But nothing happens :/

EDIT: just found an image, of how it looks https://0x0.st/H3qM.png

Ahh, I had heard people complaining about systemd having a qr code generator included a few years ago.

Hopefully this one can do something useful, like include details of the actual crash so you don't have to transcribe them. Unlike the windows one, that's hardcoded in.

DO NOT SCAN THE QR CODE!

biggest mistake of my life

I wasn’t gonna bother doing that. You made me do it…

What is it?

We're no strangers to it. You know the rules, and so do I; these jokers make a full commitment and make you think about it for so long. You wouldn't get this from any other pull request.

What am I supposed to scan a qr code with if my computer just crashed?

You use your computer to scan QR codes? How?

I've always assumed most people use their phone where the cameras have QR functionality built in.

By using the phones camera app.
