I was watching the systemd update warning all day today and waited until it was safe to update my big desktop rig, because I need it for productive work. This rig runs 24/7/365 unless I leave the house for an overnight trip. It has been booting siduction for 5 or 6 years, always taking 8-11 seconds or more to get to the plasma desktop.

So when I saw it was safe, I ran a full-upgrade and rebooted. That was when I saw the fastest boot that has ever happened on this machine. I ran
systemd-analyze blame
and was amazed to see this:
3.976s networking.service
2.014s ifupdown-wait-online.service
1.095s dnsmasq.service
503ms mnt-DATA.mount
488ms keyboard-setup.service
391ms udisks2.service
384ms dev-sdb1.device
217ms systemd-journal-flush.service
217ms systemd-hwdb-update.service
140ms systemd-logind.service
115ms systemd-modules-load.service
98ms ModemManager.service
87ms accounts-daemon.service
83ms lvm2-monitor.service
82ms libvirtd.service
....
I don't know what happened, but this is absolutely stunning. Thank you, Mr. Wohlfarth.
