It’s a loot bug from Lethal Company.

Update the OS and all installed applications using a single command.
Is this how you partition a hard drive?
This.
I just went from Arch to Debian 12 Bookworm. Running the stable branch, but so far most of the packages are rather recent. Kernel is 6.1 instead of 6.4, but I could switch to the Testing or Unstable branch to get the “bleeding edge” packages/kernels if I need to. But honestly so far it’s been a real pleasure to use. Everything is just working and is stable.
Not saying you have to or anything, and I can understand and respect using something like MX Linux to save time on the customization. Just know that because it’s based on Debian, any core OS updates will be delayed while the MX team rebases them into their fork.
Honest question, but why not just install Debian with the Xfce DE? Why rely on a fork for updates?
From what I can tell both by testing MX Linux and by reading about it, it’s nothing more than Debian with a few pre-installed packages and some customization. All of which could be done on Debian directly without much trouble.
Zabbix stores all it’s data in a PostgreSQL or MySQL database. However… there are 2 ways that Zabbix Agents work. Either in passive mode, or in active mode.
Passive Agent = “poller” process on the Zabbix server sends a request to the agent asking for values for the items it’s monitoring (based on template applied to host). Depending on the number of hosts you’re monitoring and how many poller processes are configured to start with the Zabbix server, you may run into a situation where requests are queued because the poller process is too busy. Increasing the number of poller processes will fix this, but it also adds additional load to your DB as each poller process will connect to your DB to write data, and each poller process will consume a certain amount of memory. Too many and you’ll run out of RAM, or bog down your DB.
Active Agent = “trapper” process on the Zabbix server listens for item values from being sent to it from the agents. Agents will query the Zabbix server to see what templates are applied to it’s host, and will figure out what items it’s supposed to monitor. The agent will actively query the items without the Zabbix server requesting it, and will send the item values to the server as scheduled. This puts a lot less load on the Zabbix server.
Item values are not read from the DB to activate the trigger. When a value is received that matches the trigger’s expression, then the trigger is activated. Live values are used to activate triggers and trigger actions (alerts).
“Whether we wanted it or not, we’ve stepped into a war with the Cabal on Mars. So let’s get to taking out their command, one by one. Valus Ta’aurc. From what I can gather he commands the Siege Dancers from an Imperial Land Tank outside of Rubicon. He’s well protected, but with the right team, we can punch through those defenses, take this beast out, and break their grip on Freehold.” - Commander Zavala, Destiny 2 (RIP Lance Reddick)
Also yet another version with the address book not implemented, but I bet the sign in button is still on the client to continue to confuse new users. Almost 2 years that button has been there to do nothing.
I am so excited for this game. Love the dev features that they’re doing each week. So cool to see the changes first hand, and it’s an awesome way to build hype while managing expectations.
That’s for everything listed above. This is measured straight from my UPS which everything is connected to.
