I'm considering hosting one, and I'm just curious how much effort I should invest in doing it "properly" for everyone to use as opposed to just dicking around on my own for testing purposes.

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?

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 @trigg@lemmy.world 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.

Most of it will be spent learning how to properly use Gimp

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?

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 GatoB@lemmy.world 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.
