'evil'. Enough with the hyperbole.

You're giving me flashbacks to the stupid amount of time it took for me to identify a coil whine issue on my motherboard that gets worse when the CPU is in power saving mode.

I 'worked around' the issue for the longest time by leaving covid based processing going on folding@home, which would force my CPU into turbo mode.

Eventually I found out that if I disabled cstates, it mostly went away.

fwiw - I follow a number of car YT channels that do giveaways (cleetus mcfarland, etc). They've always mentioned the no purchase required aspect and have a third party company who handle the draw, etc.

I've found the biggest issue with this is that people forget they've deployed it. It just gets left there until it's sufficiently out of date that a security issue pops up.

The story used pictures from DALL-E2 so I suspect that they were referring to the platform as a whole.

Or you know; you could have a healthier work life balance whilst getting that same level of work done in the 32 hours.

There are some great remote work opportunities these days. It might be worth starting to look at other European countries who are hiring.

Take Ireland for example. You're not going to be making US level money but I'd say you could easily double what you're making now and there's the potential to go much higher than that.

Shared hoster here. More likely the app arbitrarily decided 'these versions of PHP are EOL', where the reality is that they're being maintained by a number of OS vendors.

Too many customers run really old versions of code that need older versions of PHP and so on. We can't not provide them without losing the business. We do of course, make newer versions available.

The other fun one we periodically get is customers doing PCI scans or similar and getting warnings for out of date versions of OpenSSL, Apache, etc. Nope; just backporting showing the old version numbers.

wp-supercache - it's been taken over by automaticc themselves these days, which is an added bonus.

Caching is a must on WordPress. The first distributed password bruteforce (of which there will be many) will drive the load on your server into 3 digits in short notice otherwise.

What; you meaning zoning?

Don't forget the recent seven additions to meltdown/spectre. It'll be interesting to see if the latest round of hardware protections help there.

https://www.storagereview.com/ was always my first stop for in-depth reviews of disks

My arch linux using co-worker is currently awaiting delivery of one of these:

fyi you should be able to use tcpdump -l instead of calling stdbuf.

No; it turned out that bad studies produce not very useful statistics.

Others in this thread have already indicated why this study doesn't help with much. Unfortunately it will just give the anti-fluoride crowd ammunition.

So you trust the govt to do right by you. What about the next govt? What if UKIP got in power?

Honestly I think this information is actually too dangerous for anyone to have - companies or govts. I'd like to see this kind of level of information gathering made illegal.

So the govt has my data instead of Facebook? No thank you - that's vastly worse.

Yes; the bit that manages the process accounting and the other bit for writing the log files...

Personally I consider two processes and 40MB of ram to be negligible for the benefits it brings.

You can indeed use it as a standalone top without either of these processes too. You're just giving up one of the main benefits (replayable logs) outside of the extra stats.

In short; you're moaning about what exactly?

atop is best top. One of the few bits of software I evangelise.

Writes to replayable binary logfile with 10 minute system-state snapshots and uses process accounting to ensure it see's every process during that time.

Gives more metrics than any other top; including network, disk and all the counters that you have to check the man page to know what they refer to.

Its counterpart atopsar lets you replay the data for specific stats in an easily viewable format; i.e; - atopsar -m - this shows the memory stats for todays logfile in 10 minute increments.

It goes on every single server I manage without exception. With atop you can actually see why it died instead of guessing from old log entries.

Not to mention the webhooks. It's trivial to implement pushing data into slack.

They even give you a hello world sample curl when you opt to add the webhook. At the simplest you can just replace the hello world text and bam -- you're sending to slack. Just takes a very simple json input.

The main issue I've had is with the awful documentation. They give a good chunk of examples - but I was unable to easily locate a simple listing of all the different ways of referencing things.

For a tool like this; quality documentation really is a must. And it isn't.

Use of grep -v equiv is wrong and dirty. Instead should be:

    $ [data is generated] | awk '!/something/'
