I was just reading comments on a post on Hackernews about systemd. Systemd, as you might know, is a replacement for the venerable init system. Anyway, reading the comments was reading about all the same story over and over again. Namely, there are those strongly pro and those strongly con the systemd, in some cases based on arguments (valid or not) and in other cases based on feelings. In| Everything about nothing

If you find yourself low on disk space, check the size of the Systemd journal logs as a way to easily free up some space. $ sudo journalctl --disk-usage Archived and active journals take up 528.0M in the file system. # reduce size sudo journalctl --vacuum-size=300M There are automatic jobs that trim these Systemd journal ...

elementary OS 5.1 doesn’t automatically update Flatpak applications. Given the arbitrary appearance of updates, it’s a bit bothersome to be nagged about updates all day. Flatpak doesn’t provide an auto-update mechanism but instead leaves this up to software apps. GNOME Software has had this functionality baked-in since GNOME 3.30, for instance, according to the Phoronix article GNOME Software 3.30 Will Automatically Update Flatpaks By Default.

You probably want to take advantage of the data integrity checking offered by Btrfs. Btrfs calculates checksums for all data written to disk. These checksums are used to verify the data hasn’t been unduly altered. While data is verified every time it is read, what about the data that isn’t read often? How long may bit rot go unnoticed in that case? That’s the crux of this blog post which will explain how to best preserve your data on Btrfs and detect corruption early.| JWillikers

Chromecast is one of those devices I just generally use a lot. They are small practical and enables me to stream video or music to my TV from multiple devices. But it also requires you to have a supported browser or video player. This is obviously a bit boring. There has been multiple command line chromecast streamers through the years.
