The coupling in PID 1 is a bit much. I actually quite like systemd-networkd
for some use cases, though. It lets me declaratively manage the network interfaces on my headless servers in a way that’s very similar to how I’m managing the services. Sure, it’s coupled to systemd
, but it’s mostly one-way coupling; if I want to use NetworkManager (which I do on my laptop), I can switch over, and nothing in the init system breaks.
Interestingly, IIRC, one of the major hormonal factors in irritability during the menstrual cycle is a relative spike in testosterone levels. (Non-expert, could be wrong, but heard this once.)
