What do you think about this Pad in the Linux world?

Hi everyone,

What do you think about this Pad in the Linux world? It is an ARM-Based tablet, run JingOS - a tablet Linux distro.

Was Linus ever consider the development of an init system for Linux?

The init system is coupled with the Linux kernel in a close way, so it seems that this layer could be fitted and developed as a side project for the Linux Foundation.

Was this option consider in any time? Maybe before systemd?

iptables masquerade being affected by router?

I have 2 identical servers in a data center. Same hardware, same OS (debian buster) and both running the same configuration from saltstack.

I have the same iptables masquerade rule set up on each to route out traffic for KVM guests running on a private address space.

On one server it works great, on another i get the Redirect Host Next Hop info and the gateway fails.

The difference between the 2 servers is that they are on a different subnet, and the non-working setup is on a VLAN.

Is there any possibility that the network upstream from my server is breaking this somehow?

How Linux Works (3rd edition) is released

(Note: I am not the author of this book) I was a huge fan of the 2nd edition of this book: **How Linux Works**. I think the author explains current and relevant topics for Linux in modern day.

I'm definitely going to be picking up a copy of this new edition!

I am thinking of writing a tool for deleting files and saving hashes of deleted files, so that other versions of these files can be identified and deleted later

A lot of my files (e.g., photos) exist several times on several hard drives. If I want to delete a file (e.g., blurry image) I have to go to all hard drives and delete it there, otherwise I am wasting disk space. For individual files this is not really a problem, and also not a hige waste of space. But for many files this accumulates.

So my plan is to write an application which maintains a list of files that you don't want anymore. Files would be identified by their hash.

A possible workflow is (I haven't decided for a name yet):

app_name --delete file.jpg

This will delete the file and add the filename and hash (and maybe size) to a database (sqlite or simple text file) marked as "deleted". Then if I connect a storage device (mounted at /mnt) I would type:

app_name --delete-deleted-files /mnt

And the program would check for files which match a "deleted" file in the data base.

This last step would probably last rather long on large disks (folders), but one could run this as a maintenance task over night.

Before I start:

* Are there programs like this already? I couldn't find any.
* Does anyone else find this useful?
* Which features and interface would you expect?

1) No support requests - This is not a support forum! Head to /r/linuxquestions or /r/linux4noobs for support or help. Looking for a distro? Try r/findmeadistro.

2) No spamblog submissions - Posts that are identified as either blog-spam, a link aggregator, or an otherwise low-effort website are to be removed.

3) No memes, image macros or rage comics - Meme posts are not allowed in r/linux outside of the weekend megathread. Feel free to post over at /r/linuxmemes instead.

4) Reddiquette, trolling, or poor discussion - r/linux asks all users follow Reddiquette. Top violations of this rule are trolling, starting a flamewar, or not "remembering the human" aka being hostile or incredibly impolite.

5) Relevance to r/linux community - Posts should follow what the community likes: GNU/Linux, Linux kernel itself, the developers of the kernel or open source applications, any application on Linux, and more. Take some time to get the feel of the subreddit if you're not sure!

6) Spamming self-promotion and surveys - Submitting your own original content is welcome on r/linux, but we do ask that you contribute more than just your own content to the subreddit as well as require you to interact with the comments of your submission. Additionally, surveys are not allowed.

Visp = Vi+Spotify, an interactive client written in Go

Hi /r/linux,

Visp is Vi+Spotify, an interactive console client for Spotify, written in Go. Its interface is similar to Vim, and aims to be fast, configurable, and practical.

This interface has many features that involve sorting, searching, and navigating. It’s designed to let you navigate your music collection effectively and efficiently.

This project is a fork of Practical Music Search and contains similar functionality, but is geared towards Spotify instead of Music Player Daemon. I considered tweaking the original client to work well against Mopidy, but ultimately decided against because it would constrain the user interface.

So here it is. The project is still in the early stages. Most of the core functionality is implemented, and the documentation is pretty good. Maybe you'd like to give it a spin and tell me what you think and what features would be good to implement. Code contributions or security audits are also welcome.

Binary builds are available for download on Github, for Linux and MacOS, and on ARM and Intel architectures.

Why do Programmers Prefer Linux?

I have been programming for a little over a year on a Windows 10 machine, and I don't understand what linux offers that Windows can't provide. Yet, most serious programmers use some version of Linux. Why? Pros? Cons?
