https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit with https://github.com/performancecopilot/pcp gives metrics but too little compared to what you are asking for. The historical data is simply cpu usage, memory usage, disk i/o and network usage.
pcp can also be used with grafana. https://grafana.com/grafana/plugins/performancecopilot-pcp-app/
Cockpit example:
Ah, I always associate my .txts with notepad++ - notepad.exe is only started from Win+R as a temporary clipboard.
Have they removed the option to disable the alias and bring back the old notepad.exe?
I definitely understand your view and personally don’t see a way to disrupt the market either. I just hope someone else finds a way.
Ah - there’s your problem. VC companies simply don’t do that.
They most certainly do and then either cash in by selling to the next more risk adverse VC or sells it at a loss if they believe the company failed to disrupt the market.
When is the next VC driven company that focuses more on growth than profit coming? I feel Netflix and all the other streaming services are ripe to be overtaken in the same way Netflix overtook tv channel packaging.
Yeah, my morning brain was trying to say that when it is used as a tool by someone that can validate the output and act upon it then it’s often good. When it is used by someone who can’t, or won’t, validate the output and simply uses it as the finished product then it usually isn’t any good.
Regarding your friend learning to use the terminal I’d still recommend validating the output before using it. If it’s asking genAI about flags for ls then sure no big deal, but if a genAI ends up switching around sda and sdb in your dd command resulting in a wiped drive you only got yourself to blame for not checking the manual.
I find that an extremely simplified way of finding out whether the use of an LLM is good or not is whether the output from it is used as a finished product or not. Here the human uses it to identify possible errors and then verify the LLM output before acting and the use of AI isn’t mentioned at all for the corrections.
The only danger I see is that errors the LLM didn’t find will continue to go undiscovered, but they probably would be undiscovered without the use of the LLM too.
For Firefox you find the proxy settings within about:preferences
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/connection-settings-firefox
in GNOME you can use the GUI by going to Settings -> Network -> Network Proxy and similarly in KDE you can go to System Settings -> Network -> Settings -> Proxy
You still need to have a proxy server somewhere to connect through though so I would probably just setup a VPS with Wireguard or OpenVPN and do a full tunnel forcing all traffic through the VPS for your download.
Someone has made an MIT licensed open source file manager for MacOS, not that I’ve used it myself:

I think that a good way to approach the OS switch is to focus on “what tools does this OS have and how do they work?” and figure out a new workflow from that instead of trying to bring your old workflow over.
Glad you found something of value from my comment. :)
Fedora KDE is my main workstation distro and it’s been treating me fine.
I chose between that and opensuse Tumbleweed and ended up trying Fedora for the simple reason of having a larger user base than opensuse.
I’m still curious to try out opensuse tumbleweed but fedora has just kept going and I’ve felt no need to fix or switch.
Debian is known to be stable as in “staying the same”, you won’t get any big version updates on the programs in the debian repository, just backported security updates. That ensures that you don’t end up with dependency mismatches where different programs want the same library but different versioning.
It also means that as Trixie ages the version you get from the repo will be further and further behind as you will still be running 2025 versions with backported security updates until you upgrade to Debian 14.
By installing random .tarballs and .debs outside the default repository the main advantage of Debian Stable is nulled.
I would actually recommend going all in on flatpaks, appimages and dockers if your goal is to keep the main system stable and lean. You might also wanna look at distrobox for running programs that aren’t officially available for your distro.
Another thing too look at is atomic distros, such as Fedora Kinoite https://fedoraproject.org/atomic-desktops/kinoite/
I mean driving without your safety belt works great until something happens. Doesn’t make it a good idea.
I’ve never used it, but bookmarked the github. Cheers. :)
22 out of 22 books i checked at Kobo had Adobe DRM. :(
That was an interesting read.
If you wanna own your audiobooks you might wanna check out https://libro.fm/ - they allow you to download the bought audiobook without drm.
I gladly accept tips for similar sites when it comes to buying ebooks.
Eh, go for something simple like Fedora KDE and teach them how to update and install stuff through Discover - it’s like App/Play/Microsoft store + the System update all in one.
I imagine Linux Mint and OpenSUSE has similar GUIs to introduce if that’s more up your alley.
Update 22:51h: The vote originally scheduled for 14 October will not take place because there is no majority for the proposal. It is likely that the EU Commission will now propose to extend the Chat Control 1.0 regulation currently in force that permits providers to scan our messages (if they choose). An extension of this indiscriminate bulk scanning regime is not acceptable. Scanning under this regulation needs to be targeted and limited to suspects where requested by a judicial authority.
Seems like it has a built in webserver for remote viewing. Does it have a slot for an SD Card?
The simplest solution would be to block the cameras internet access in your router/firewall and live stream through a browser while recording detected motion to an SD Card.
