Most Linux users know top and free. Very few know how to read run queues, swap pressure, I/O wait, blocked processes, or CPU steal time during real production incidents. If you want to understand how Linux behaves under load instead of just memorizing commands: 100+ Essential Linux Commands pro.tecmint.com/linux-commands…

Quick Linux Tip: Need to know why a Linux server suddenly became slow? Use: $ vmstat 1 It shows CPU usage, memory pressure, swap activity, blocked processes, and I/O wait every second. Used heavily in production troubleshooting before digging into complex monitoring tools. A single command can reveal CPU bottlenecks, swap thrashing, or disk contention instantly.

Happy ZMODEM day! On May 20, 1986 the ZMODEM protocol specification posted to Usenet. For more info on zmodem and Chuck Forsberg of Omen Technology visit: Usenet post: tuhs.org/Usenet/comp.so… About Zmodem: grokipedia.com/page/ZMODEM

Linux users are fighting new United States laws that require computers to ask for your age and share it with apps to keep kids safe online. The laws were made for big companies like Apple and Google but they cause big problems for Linux because it is free open software built by volunteers who care about privacy and freedom. System76 won a special rule in Colorado to skip this, while groups like MX Linux say no and some people have made tools to avoid the age check completely.

@MiddleEarth_xD Dwarfs seem to have more fun and have better food but the Elf’s lifespan is awesome. Also the female elf’s are smokin’ hot. I pick elf but will live with the dwarfs :)

Would you rather be a Dwarf or an Elf?

May the fourth be with you

You walk up to your computer and see this screen. Your next move?

@KevG163 Ted Hendricks gets points for pressure on the QB. Without it, Sipe may have had second thoughts?

Heaven Birthday, Mike Davis🕯️ #RaiderNation Legend Mike authored one of the most important plays in #Raiders history — a game-saving, last-minute interception of Brian Sipe's "Red Right 88" pass in the 1980 AFC Divisional. A master of the safety blitz, Davis produced countless big plays during the Raiders' Super Bowl XV and XVIII championship runs.

@VinnysCorner1 Max McGee

Without saying Jordan Love, Brett Favre. Aaron Rodgers or Vince Lombardi, name a Packer

@td_nash Allen. Great runner, receiver, blocker and goal line.

Out of these four running backs, who do you think was better?🧐

@LundukeJournal @GenDigitalInc @Norton I ran a 2 node Spitfire BBS back in the Desqview days. Let it freeee!

Hey, @GenDigitalInc! Gen Digital (through acquisition of @Norton) own the rights to a long abandoned piece of software called “Desqview/X”, originally developed by Quarterdeck (with binaries released into the public domain over two decades ago). Now would be an amazing time to release the source code for Desqview/X. No downside for you, great public relations boost. I’ve reached out to your Press team via email and would love to talk with you about how to accomplish this. I can do the heavy lifting, and you can get the PR boost.
