This came through via the Nagios community. Nagios is #7 on the dumbest list of tools ever. Nobody in their right mind would put Nagios, a useful tool every day, in the same list as Gparted (which you’ll use once or twice a year, tops), Webmin (no self-respecting Linux admin uses Webmin), or Byobu (WTF, an app that tells you your OS version? You don’t know that already?) [UPDATE: Check the comments, Byobu isn’t what this article describes it as]. A list built by people who know nothing about Linux, for sure.

This is a sweet, sweet photo. Hehehe. And what’s with the guy on the right with a cigar?

Hmm, hadn’t thought about RV supplies for a water filter, but that makes sense. Looks like they’re only like $25-50ish, and will have all the hose fittings and stuff I need.

I love these maps.

A friend of mine who works in US Homeland Security was talking with me a year ago about this sort of thing, that it’s been tough doing social media things within the government entities because of all the unknown dependencies on foreign governments. Do you want to share your links with an agent of the Libyan government? No? Then why have you been using bit.ly?

“Drinking a little alcohol during pregnancy is just fine for most women, found a new study. In fact, pregnant moms who are able to kick back and relax a little may even give their children a developmental leg up, at least for the first five years of life, which is how far the study tracked kids.”

Hey Bob,
Just thought I’d jump in here and comment on the byobu package because it deserves not to be overlooked.
It’s always funny to watch articles bounce around the internet as content thiefs try and rehash good writing. The blogspot post you linked to doesn’t even seem to be written by a native English speaker. Here’s the original article from Linux Magazine (http://www.linux-mag.com/id/7870/). It’s behind a paywall, but you can see that the first two items match up exactly.
Byobu is an enhancement of GNU screen, an app which I consider to be essential on all but my most hardened server builds. Here’s their project page (https://launchpad.net/byobu).
You’re totally right about Webmin.
Keep up the great work,
Jirah
@Jirah — Yes, something is definitely amiss with that list. I’m glad to have your comment here, clearing things up. An enhancement of screen is something I’m very interested in! I’ll make a note in the post above.
I wonder if we could use the DMCA against these content scrapers… Stuff like that really annoys me.
That list just made my cat homeless.
Just don’t put it in a trash can.
