I believe you have just defined the empty set :-).
But for a (possibly) useful suggesting, you might try
my technique for working around utter failures in systemd
(which always seem to have something to do with networked
services).
I make sure /etc/rc.d/rc.local is set to executable and
add lines like this to the end:
/bin/bash -c 'sleep 5 ; systemctl restart ypbind.service' > /dev/null
2>&1 < /dev/null &
That starts one of the many services that normally fails
after a 5 second delay following boot. I have a whole list
of this with increasing delay times.
