Firefox 106 Breaks RHEL Cockpit Access
Upgrading to Firefox 106 will disable your ability to log in to most RHEL Cockpit instances due to a CSS compatibility issue. Newer versions of Chromium have the same issue. For more information, see: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/issues/17724 (upstream report) - https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/17726 (upstream fix) - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2126038 (RHEL report)

I gave systemd an honest try convinced the criticisms had little substance. If I could go back in this decision (I won't), I wouldn't use systemd.
Is this what you want?

Ask HN: Interesting TUIs (text user interfaces), maybe forgotten ones?
These certainly aren't forgotten, but I like:
* `ranger` file manager: https://ranger.github.io/
* `ncdu` for visualising disk usage: https://dev.yorhel.nl/ncdu
* `htop` process monitor: https://htop.dev/
I just find them very intuitive, and information-dense while not being overwhelming.

Command line tools I always install on Ubuntu servers
Probably everyone knows about the "top" command. Htop is similar, but gives us a more user-friendly output. It shows processes using the most resources, how much available resources you have and who runs those processes. For more information, visit https://htop.dev/

distro hopping
determine which processes consume specific resources (in your particular case even a "5 minutes session of staring at htop" would do the trick.) (Alternatives: ps -ef, ps aux, top, glances ... )

When you see the laptop throttling, is htop or another monitoring program showing that the RAM is full, or is it only partly used?
