I'm sad that a basic description of what RSS consists of makes it onto HN. I still upvoted to help educate the kids :/

FYI FreshRSS is fairly trivial to self-host, and is a really nice option for an RSS reader app.

Preferential to Miniflux myself, but any RSS reader is better than none.

Scrolling through the site (iPhone 14 Pro) was like playing a modern game at 15 frames per second.

Couldn’t read it on archive.org for some reason so I am adding this link for others in case they can’t either.

Is atop included in any distributions?

Is there even a tool to search what is pre-installed in each major distribution(s)?

I typed 'atop' in my Linux Mint 22.1 laptop/desktop, says it's not found but can be installed. So I think Linux Mint is in the clear, I tried my Ubuntu 24.04 server and same thing there as well as my proxmox home lab instance. I checked that Repology link and I did see Ubuntu, but I guess that is for Ubuntu desktop but not sever edition?

ps. If I said anything wrong, please correct me. I'm a linux newb who jumped from Microsoft's world after getting fed up with their Win11 BS. I'm still learning quite a bit about linux daily.

Linux newbie here. Jumped into the Linux world after getting tired of Microsoft's BS with Win 11. Running Linux mint on my laptop and desktop. Looks like 'atop' is not installed by default, but regular 'top'. Anyone know which distros I should be worried about that have it? Also I have been dabbling with proxmox, I checked and looks like 'top' is the default there too.

I’d probably just turn off Bluetooth / WiFi and get a setup box like Apple TV, Roku etc. which usually is much nicer than the TV OS anyway. The only time I’m interacting with my TVs UI is when I’m switching input channels.

Ditto. AppleTV or Nvidia Shield (with custom launcher). Personally, I'm now in with AppleTV. I had two Shields and hated when they pushed an update a few years ago to stock android that pushed ads (to services I didn't subscribe to) and that was it for me. There werent as many custom launchers as there are nowadays, but still, went to AppleTv and have been happy. That said, I'd stay clear with Roku with their latest shenanigans as they continue to test their customer's limits with ads now on their home screen [1]. Granted this is on their TV sets, I would still stay clear of their dedicated set-top boxes as it's only a matter of time when they push their limits there too [2].

45 years :(

The article says illness, but which illness?

vanc_cefepime · 8 months ago
Could be anything, sadly. Tteck, from Proxmox helper scripts recently died as well but did inform the GitHub community it was appendiceal cancer. Sadly he went quite quick too.

I had a medical colleague who unexpectedly died at 33 after Christmas.

Life is short. Hug your loved ones and let them know you love them everyday.
