As for ebooks, that's a proprietary format, not opensource. There are many complains about that format. What many people do is break the protection and save the backup as unprotected ebook, to negate the control to the companies and keep it in the hand of the person that bought the ebook or his inheritors.
What's wrong with proprietary formats? What matters is that they are DOCUMENTED formats.
This was a comment about the epub format with DRM. The fact that it is proprietary takes it out of our concern in our context, because we can not do anything about it, it is not under community control.
And actually, I believe journald's predecessor format wasn't even *defined*, let alone documented (other than the *assumption* it was ascii text - even that wasn't a given, I believe!)
No, that's not so. There are documented standards. You can send the log entries as they are generated on a machine (say, a router) to any other machine running a syslog server, with different operating system. How they are formatted when saved to disk may differ, but there are also some standards. The message itself is entirely free form text, though. Same in systemd journal, as it is up to each program that saves messages to the log, not to systemd or syslog. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
