California proposes “blatant seizure of property” in solar ruling
The California Public Utilities Commission is set to vote on a virtual net energy metering program that would force renters to sell solar generation to the utility and buy it back at a higher rate, outlawing them from consuming their electricity directly.
WTAF??? I expected something like this!
Mission Center: Another New GUI System Monitoring Tool for Linux
Mission Center is a new, visually pleasing GTK4 and Libadwaita-based system monitoring tool written in Rust and explicitly designed for Linux. It uses OpenGL rendering for all the graphs to reduce CPU and overall resource usage.
The app offers a one-stop solution for tracking and managing CPU, memory, disk, network, and GPU usage. It lets users gain deep insights into their system’s behaviour and resource utilization.
Actually great that it is written in Rust. Although I’ve installed it, and it looks great, I’ll probably stick to my Conky script that is super lightweight and shows all the essentials I want to monitor. For more detailed views, I’ll probably use Mission Center.
System Monitoring Center is another really great looking such app. Where Mission Center does show something a little extra, is that it displays also whether there is virtualisation running, as well as all the individual CPU cores.
