Observawhat? My services just exist, if they fail and nobody complains… Well, they get removed. If the fail and somebody complains… The get restarted…
Pretty efficient but simple approach.
I got tired of only noticing something was broken when I needed to use it instead of when I was working on things. Now if I make a change I notice issues right away and can fix them.
Things usually break on updates unless your disk fills up or worse some hardware fails…
So it’s pretty easy to fix: never upgrade automatically.
I always upgrade manually and check immediately what I have upgraded. Works fine so far.
And I was only partially joking… Yeah if a service stays broken for a long time, just uninstall it, it was useless.
