I was just leaving my flat to go and buy some obligatory Saturday night peanut butter (crunchy, of course), when dmesg -w, which I was running to troubleshoot my network, suddenly looked pretty in the dark.

    Thankfully Systemd is chatty like a kid talking about dinosaurs and so there’s lots of ASCII spooge on the screen, usually vomited to console. It’s half simplistically beautiful and half utter professional embarrassment.

      Chatty is good when there’s an issue.

      If it hangs at some point, you want it to be as chatty as possible, since that will help narrow down where the hangup is.

      Does systemd print much once it’s fully running? Checking my log the only chatty thing is networkmanager doing wifi scanning, 4 separate state change log messages per scan.
