I mean, I'm always interested in doing more stuff with system D. I think there's still a bunch of components internally, um, that could be utilizing system D in more ways, you know, making sure that we're all in the common base. That's kind of the main, like, general goal that I'm always going to be focused on, I guess.

There are also some bigger, I mean, the Journal D, I've been trying to get us to replace our syslog completely. and move entirely to systemd-journald. That's an ongoing effort.

Yeah, I want to be there.

I mean, moving completed to systemd networkd was pretty cool. But I mean, now that that's done, I can just like be happy with it. There are probably some more stuff we're going to be doing with like systemd umd, the out of memory killer. I think we're about ready to get Senpai upstreamed into systemd. Senpai is like a memory auto resizer that we wrote.

And I don't think that that's been open sourced in any way. I mean, we have like an internal plugin to do that with the old like FBMD. I think it's time to get that into system VMD as well.

It's a way to kind of poke a process and like make sure that they're only using the amount of memory that they actually need. Cause a lot of, you know, services and things will allocate more memory than they need.

A little bit.

A little bit.

I mean, we're trying to shift to more of an immutable model. Internally, we have something called MetalOS. And right now, we're rolling out a variation of MetalOS called Maclassica. The goal is kind of an immutable file system, but it's making strides to get there. We still have to rely on Chef to do a lot of configuration, but a lot of it has shifted to a more static configuration.

that is more deterministic and gets updated at a cadence where we can more clearly see what the changes are.

Yeah, I haven't looked too deeply into what that team's been up to. But I do know that they did make use of some of the bleeding edge systemd features to build these images and things like that. We're not using systemd sysx just yet. I mean, I wouldn't count it out.
