I'm not aware of any tab closures or changed on my side, but I can't swear I didn't close something.  I do clean up from time-to-time.

Beats me.

Normal-ish.  My CPU fan now runs more than it ever did, the the system is at least usable.  Ish.

I am talking about single-user workstations in my house, behind a pretty paranoid firewall and a pi-hole, with no incoming access from the outside, for users who all have `sudo` access anyway.  I know what I'm doing, and I keep up on the vulnerability lists and handle things if I need to.  I wouldn't recommend this for the "average" user (whatever that means :-), but for me and my use case...

I just ran `uptime` over 12 nodes and it ranges from 4 to 181 days.  :-)  Huh, that output would be fun to push through `datamash`.

Not that I know of.  I also have Debian, Raspbian and Ubuntu (MythTV) in the mix.

Later,
