  • It’s especially frustrating because I don’t think I’ve seen a single app store on a distro prominently show when the last update was for a flatpak app. Even flatpaks own website requires scrolling all the way down to the bottom of an app to see that info.

    Plus the app store interfaces/apps are terribly slow and bloated, gnome software will sit in the background doing nothing useful and consume 700MB+ of RAM, searching for an app takes forever, and it will lock up sometimes while installing so you can’t continue browsing/searching for more apps. I’ve tried other stores and they all share the same issues for the most part.

    Overall the whole situation is just pretty bad and frustrating. I use the terminal for flatpak updates and such, but it’s not any good for finding new apps.








  • No idea if this applies to a lot of laptops, but on my HP with an i5-8350U every Linux distro I’ve tried seems to come configured using s2idle instead of deep sleep, and battery will drain very quickly even in ‘sleep’ mode.

    If running cat /sys/power/mem_sleep returns “[s2idle] deep” then you can add mem_sleep_default=deep to your kernel args and it will actually go to sleep properly.

    On Fedora this was sudo grubby --update-kernel=ALL --args="mem_sleep_default=deep" but it varies by distro.

    Why it seems like every distro I’ve used has this set incorrectly I do not know, it’s baffling.


  • I don’t believe there are any logs being transferred, just the abusive IPs are shared with the central DB.

    So if an IP starts hitting a ton of rules (like .env access, repeated 403s, 404s, 429s, etc… Or specific AppSec rules) then that IP is blocked and sent to their central DB where it’s pushed out to everyone running crowdsec.

    On my setup crowdsec has been more effective than cloudflare at stopping scanners and bots from overloading things, cloudflare just lets basically everything through so I stopped using it.

    That said I’m curious if you remember the source of the real world tests, because I’d love to see what’s actually better.
