Untitled Linux Show 249: Do It On a Potato
Apr 601:46:35Tap to summarizeThe Internet has had its fun on another April First. There were a few great gags, a real story hiding behind a joke, and at least one real one that snuck in. Linux usage on Steam has jumped to over 5%, PostgreSQL has a severe regression on Linux 7.0, and there are a handful of really nasty supply chain vulnerabilities. Speaking of dumpster fires, the FCC is threatening to ban basically all the consumer routers on the market, and the major Open Source office suites are all fighting over licenses and forks. For tips, we cover vmstat for looking at memory and other performance metrics, and mosquitto's pub and sub tools for testing out an MQTT server. You can find the show notes at https://bit.ly/41blNtJ and enjoy!
