Systemd predictable network interface names are awesome.

Not only I get easy to remember names like enp2s0f0u7u3c2 but I _also_ get to experience a machine not coming back up after reboot because a new (non-NIC!) PCIe card caused existing names to shuffle around.

@q3k yea we're predictable

predictably bad

@q3k real talk: I feel like a system like /dev/disk/by-* for interface names would solve many of these problems: it allows you to be specific when you need to, and to be generic when you don't

there's probably a way to do this with interface aliases, thinking of it 🤔
