In short, sell me on ufw.

I learned recently that yfw is basically replacing iptables "everywhere", and as I'm getting old and crusty, this means that I have to learn something new when I'd much rather practice yelling at kids to get off my lawn.

To me, iptables is fine, and I like its flexibility. I've been using it ever since it de facto replaced ipchains, so ease of use isn'treally a factor in this equation.

So my more pointed question is: Can I just stick to iptables, or am I missing out on something that can only be done with ufw?

Are there any canonical references to how fast these two are, for comparison?

I think I was at my most creative and prolific around 20 years ago, with my best stuff being released around 2007-2008. I started dabbling with Cakewalk around 200, which later became Sonar.

But then Sonar took a direction that really messed up my workflow.
But not long after I suddenly had an unrelated career.
And then I had a family to take care of.

In other words, life got in the way. Plus I had permanently migrated to Linux, and despite many attempts I couldn't quite get into it.

However, thankfully I found Bitwig, and I feel like I'm not at a place where I can start doing it properly again. But of course, all the synths and plugins I used way back when are probably out of date. So any tips for replacing these?:

Native Instruments Guitar Rig - Guitar effects and processing
Edirol Orchestral - Orchestra oriented softsynth
Steinberg Hypersonic - general purpose softsynth
Drumkit from Hell - Drum softsynth

Also, is there anything new in terms of tools, techniques, and processes that have emerged during the past 20ish years I should be aware of?

Vel, regnet er i det minste nedover, og ikke sidelengst slik som vi vanligvis har her. Jeg vil anbefale spesielt de med underbitt om enten å holde seg innendørs, eller forberede seg på å svelge unna store mengder med vann.

Såvidt jeg vet så er det ikke en stor aktør, men det er en start. Jeg jobber med skip rundtomkring i Norge, og det er mange Ukrainere å møte.

Is there an available screen recorder for Linux that can continuously record everything, but only keep the last, for example, 10 minutes in a buffer, and anything older will be discarded?

Sometimes something interesting happens in whatever I'm doing, but replicating it after starting a recorder is hard. I also don't want to deal with terabytes of video backlog.

Ideally, when something share-worthy has happened, I'd push a button or a magic key combo, and the buffer will be saved to a file.

SOLVED:
ReplaySorcery as suggested by @[email protected] does the job perfectly and just runs unobtrusively in the background after boot.

I have a system that involves a rather large and complex oracle database, and while the system as a whole is easy enough (for me) to understand, the database feels more like a black box of mysterious powers that I need some assistance wrapping my head around.

Are there any analytical tools to help with this? Ideally, I'd like a tool that would connect to the database and make a diagram over which tables connect to which other tables, as well as naming any stored procedures relevant to each. If such a tool exists, that'd be grand, but any other tools that can help breaking down this rube goldberg machine into something more digestible would be great.

And yes, it is much overdue for a postgresql successor. Getting the current contraption mapped out is the first step in building its replacement.

EDIT: Oh, and this database also interacts a lot with orasched, as well as external processes. A lot of things that should have been a cron job is now a procedure stored in the scheduler. A lot of things that should have been an external script/program is a stored procedure. And most offensive of all: many things that should have been in a config file is part of an SQL table. Whoever built this contraption must've been paid to write SQL and nothing else.

I remember some 20-30 years ago you would sometimes hear about an artist (usually musician, or a group thereof) being sellouts, or having sold out. This of course in a pejorative way, as this was the most heinous of crimes an artist could ever commit against their fan base.

However, I can't recall having heard this term for at least a couple of decades. Has the term been replaced with something else? Is it more accepted? Or is it simply so hard to make it nowadays that the concept of "selling out" is basically just synonymous with making a living?

Are there any modern examples of this and I simply missed the online chatter about it?

Recipe:

1. Burn the corners off of one sheet of paper with a lighter. I used A4, but I'm sure US Letter works too.
2. Crumple it some and then straighten it out.
3. Make some black coffee, any temperature and pour it into something that can fit the paper laying flat
4. Bathe the paper until properly stained (or to taste, I guess)
5. Roast the paper on 100 degrees C for 30 minutes with the convector fan running

The result is a perfect "treasure map" for use as a D&D prop during tonight's session with my kids.

I watched this interview earlier today, and upon hearing the studio band play that snippet of music, I immediately recognized it as something I've heard before.

I want to say that the original has a woman singing the melody?
Also, I think what we're hearing is the bridge of a song, rather than the verse or chorus.

The song starts at 1:05 in case you don't want to watch the rest of it.

EDIT: For fucks sake, of course it's Belgian techno anthem Pump Up the Jam.... I lol'd. Thanks to the responders for reminding me.

I saw a screenshot the other day of someone having tagged someone else with a note to help them recognize them later.

For example, if I wanted to tag [email protected] with a note of "Admits to sometimes secretly dressing up like Tarzan", so that I see it next to their name every time I read a comment/post.. how do I do this?

Bonus-question: Is this possible in my preferred app, Voyager?

Note: GatoB may or may not secretly dress up as Tarzan from time to time, I do not know. Not shaming either way.
