Comment Re:man lsof -or- appropos list open connections (Score 2) 65

think this as wireshark and lsof/netstat/ss had a child

it sniff network traffic via the kernel, show what connections open and close and log them per PID ... finally, show that in a nice web interface

So wireshark without dumping ALL the traffic payload, that can identify to what PID it belongs and all in real time, something lsof/netstat/ss can only show in THAT exact moment, not during time (so fail to detect short live requests)

the secure boot in windows enables other features, but in linux it doesn't do anything useful... yes, you have the flag of secure boot, but it is not used by almost anything (may exist tools that check this, but not something breaking)

secure boot in linux is mostly useful for (stupid) laptops where you can't disable secure boot

i smell just a cover history to hide that they are listening to all Iran comms and when Iranian reports pointing that the pilot should be in a certain area, they rushed support to take him first. or simply it was a mirror signal, but that would not make them look good, just incompetent... so lets tell a stupid high tech story, just to look great

hey, also blame those that only think in profit and allowed trump to win ("he is a business men, economy will get better!" No, he is just a dangerous child blackmailer, that break everything if doesn't win everytime)... now they get a worse economy, high gas prices, a war, bad climate, less tax for rich but much higher debt... even got their own population killed by "pseudo-cops"

MAGA people are retards but they are too few, i do blame more the others, that should know better and yet voted for him... specially non-white people, that had already been targeted by him and still supported him

>The problem is climate change caused by a warming planet. Everyone thinks that means winters get more pleasant, maybe summers get hotter.

Not even that simple!

there is more energy in the atmosphere, stronger wind, drought in some places, floods in others, huge heat waves reaching north but also polar cold waved being pushed from north to south (ie: "heat wave" in north pole and push south the polar cold air to south, bringing freezing low temperatures). higher air and ocean temperature mean stronger hurricanes and storms

Everything get more erratic and generate more extreme events, usually also stronger too

they could not use openoffice as Oracle had the trademark for the name when acquired sun and did changed the license of openoffice from GPL to a more restrictive one... so getting a new name was required and libre was a good option as to say that libreoffice was still GPL, openoffice was just open source, but with many restrictions that didn't existed before
The best thing that apache could do would offer openoffice name to libreoffice, so it could be renamed back to openoffice. I do agree that openoffice is burned in the mind of many people while libreoffice is not

I notice that many people still point to openoffice... they should not! :)

OpenOffice is mostly abandoned, the latest Apache OpenOffice is v4.1.16, from November 2025, but 4.1 was released in 2014 !! 12 years and you only got minor bug fixes. There are almost no developers and changes in OpenOffice. Everything moved to LibreOffice! Oracle killed the OpenOffice by being oracle and when it was dead already, dump it to Apache Foundation that little could do. The brand is still in the mind of many people but everyone should really move to libreoffice already

check this timeline: https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

So people still in OpenOffice should migrate to LibreOffice, that i suspect will solve many of the problems compatibility they have in OpenOffice and get lot more new features and performance. OnlyOffice is also good and lets see the Euro-Office

but alas, not everyone is a programmer and even programmers, not all understand/follow AI!
Also, before, all that info is suspect/should work like that, now we KNOW that is LIKE THAT

yes, maybe it could be better, but for me, it is good enough. it is a quick summary! if it talked too much technical info, most people would not understand, just like saying "it uses garbage collection", most people have a idea of what it is, but if you go deeper how it really works, it gets too technical, most will get lost and not understand

Please do not assume everyone is a expert. This one was too basic for you, probably other articles about other topics are ok for you but look too basic for other people

English is not my first language and in my main language, we call big producing places "centrals"... plants are... well plants, not a place! :D
But you are right, i was typing a bit distracted!

Based on the graphics in the links in my previous post, ithe amount of exported electricity is somewhat similar in size of the nuclear production in the past. I'm aware that energy exporting and importing is much more complex than that, but it is just a comparative observation. Now that was gone and Germany started to import more electricity instead of exporting.

I'm not saying that renewable didn't grow, it did and grew a lot !! But can it be better used with better distribution and more storage? Yes, but government preferred to invest in gas power plants, because they are easier to plan and gas WAS cheap.

I’m not actually disagreeing with you. My point is that Germany’s approach to improving base load relied a bit too much on gas, specially in industrial areas and that is bite them now, thinking that they should have kept the nuclear for longer until they had more diversity

Never said that they were actually better!! but between someone that you know that have a long history of other country abuse and control and a new one with still few history incidents, people actually prefer to bet on the unknown

a recent pool in europe show that people trust more in the Chinese government than in the USA government, a huge drop since Trump is president. Everyone knows that we can't really trust China, but Trump is actually much worse, so the China unknown but more stable position sounds better
