LogPulse: Smart Compression & Instant Search

Systemd‑journald writes massive log lines that inflate disk usage and make queries sluggish, forcing operators to rely on slow tools like ripgrep or journalctl. LogPulse automates lightweight compression and incremental indexing, delivering sub‑second search times while cutting disk write overhead by up to 80%.

Comment on: Single log line is 49KB+ (ext4) / 110KB+ (btrfs) of systemd-journald disk writes

Sure, I'll try my best to put some concrete numbers on it:On a file of ~1M lines (350 MB), ripgrep returns a query matching 22k lines in 1.9s.(Separately: We have gzip log rotation for old logs. A log with 1.9M lines (106 MB gzipped) on disk can be searched from cold in 1.3s by ripgrep, whilst still being ergonomic. Maybe a different compressor is better?)On a service unit filter over ~218k lines, `journalctl -u service --since <...> -g query` returns 4.8k matching lines in 4.127s (and this is after having warmed the cache by returning the unfiltered query cold, in 11.9s.
