Performance Co-Pilot + Grafana to Monitor Your Computers
As my first video of the 2023, I wanted to talk about using open source software to help us predict when our computers are about to fail and/or discover when they just aren't performing as well as they should. This video will lead to how to compare data over a period of time: a year, a month or even a week ago, but we need to get our systems built up first.
I am installing Performance Co-Pilot and Grafana to give us the information we need to figure out what is going on with our computers and devices.
Don't have a spare computer to run this one? Performance Co-Pilot and Grafana both run on Raspberry PI

its-time-to-elevate!
CentOS 7 End of everything date is fast approaching. If you haven't started on moving your host operating systems over, you might want to take a look at a tool called Elevate from AlmaLinux Foundation. It will assist you in moving not only to AlmaLinux but also any other RHEL based distribution.
No AI images today, that one is the real deal.

PEGAS
pegasus-spyware-for-the-21st-century
In this video I am going to explore what NSO Group's Pegasus is and some of the things it does, how to detect it and a possible way to remove it. Since I did this video I did a bit more research and there is now a tool called iVerify which is approved on the Apple Store to download which is said to detect Pegasus, how well it works I can not say. There is a version of the software for Android as well. It is my hope that we finally decide to do something about this, the next generation of this type of software will be even more difficult to detect and remove. As Edward Snowden said "This software should not exist". and I agree with him.

LINUX
linux,-memory-fragmentation-full-version
One of the all time problems which exists in any operating system which uses virtual memory, is memory fragmentation. In this video I explore what it is, how the Linux kernel attempts to minimize it, and what tools you can use to monitor it. I will answer the question do you need swap, if so how much swap?, swapfile vs swap partition? How linux works without a swap
Tool to show memory fragmentation as percent: https://github.com/bittorf/calculate-linux-memory-fragmentation
