After 9 days of uptime, dbus-daemon process is taking up 2.4GB. Opening a memdump shows that it's basically all spam from 'The name nvidia.powerd.server was not provided by any .service'.

Someone made an AUR package that provides a fake service to shut this up[1], and Gentoo straight out patches it out of the binary[2], which I think is the better approach as I imagine very few people are aware of this issue.
