Subject: [PATCH proxmox 1/6] systemd: add support for machine-id generation
Date: Fri, 10 Apr 2026 12:02:18 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260410100326.3199377-2-f.gruenbichler@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260410100326.3199377-1-f.gruenbichler@proxmox.com>

the plain machine-id should not be leaked to external systems, but libsystemd
provides helpers for deriving application-id based identifiers that are useful
for identifying a machine externally.
