Whoosh! There goes my redundancy! Fingers crossed I don’t lose another disk before the replacements arrive!

There’s some good info about working with the Ubuntu APT repository over here: How To List All Packages In A Repository On Ubuntu, Debian Or Linux Mint [APT]. I’m finally starting to get my head around how the repositories actually work. This and this were helpful.
I seem to need to refer to this more often than I would have imagined: Postfix Mail Queue Management.
This is great: cheat.sh. It’s a web accessible cheatsheet for Linux commands.
Date/Time formats for the KDE clock widget.
So I upgraded my Ubuntu from 20.04 to 22.04. That mostly went without problem but there are still a few gremlins to iron out. One change was some of the desktop widgets I was using in the previous version seem to have been replaced. I found the replacements easily enough. I particularly like the new CPU activity widget, it’s a much more sensible way to visualise 24 CPU cores than the previous widget which just gave one reading instead of 24.

A little nostalgia: The UNIX Time-Sharing System.
Well I’m happy to learn that Firefox 105.0.1 restores focus behavior on startup. That’s been driving me mad!
