 ElvishJerricco | yea, it uses the "log target", which can be set in a few ways, and (basically) defaults to /dev/console for a typical nixos machine | 10:10:05 |

 @adam:robins.wtf | Is that configurable to send to multiple output devices? I have a few systems where getting serial and graphical display outputs simultaneously would be helpful | 13:40:26 |

| ElvishJerricco | This is what confuses me. Like on an rpi, I do get systemd's Starting Foo... style messages on both HDMI and serial outputs | 17:19:38 |

 gdamjan | systemd is smart enough to use all consoles, but the kernel only uses a single console | 17:42:47 |

| ElvishJerricco | the kernel will use one console of each type, e.g. one serial and one VT | 17:43:17 |

| ElvishJerricco | well, more accurately, among the console= kernel params, it will use one of each type | 17:45:24 |
