I think they dropped multi server managment because it was possible to add a few servers but I guess they drop that one out. You do can logon into a server right on the logon page. That is nice.

It is very nice. I hope more apps and options are added as it makes very simple to do some admin tasks. Want to manage services? No problem, it is very easy. Clear failed and disable? Easy. Want to see some disks and do admin operations on disks? It does. Want a simple system monitor? It tracks cpu, ram and more in a pretty interface. RHEL is dropping old interfaces like cluster management and starting to use Cockpit only. I just wish Cockpit would replace Hawk2 for cluster management as it is better then the old deprecated cluster manager web interface. But yes, install Cockpit or keep it installed ready to be use cause one day it saves the day...

After a reboot, at least until now there is no connections being tried.

So my conclusion for now is, in some strange way, connections made by the site (that like so many others, keeps connecting to their servers) kept alive and retries even with the page being closed already.

So for now, it looks more like a Chromium bug.

But what is so strange is that there is no open page, there are no services or programs that might use it, and still, Chromium tries to connect to it, via UDP.

So either Chromium does that or perplexity installed something I don't know how.

My first guess was the shortcut's on the blank page, that somehow they manages to install some javascript or something, but I removed the shortcut and still a few minutes later to try to connect.

Let's see if it tries again. I will then put tcpdump or something else to watch and capture data, allowing to connect.

Thanks.

I use Chromium or LibreWolf and use Perplexity site. It cannot install anything I guess as I only use it from the webpage. OS is ArchLinux with Chromium, but I did not use tcpdump yet. I will try it. I notice the connections with OpenSnitch that pop's up every call made that is not authorized. And I can see it was UDP.

I think perplexity has an app that installs via snapd and may have systemd timers but if you did not install anything then only the browser should be making calls and only when you opened it so I guess just poke around in /etc/systemd, /usr/lib/systemd and /etc/cron* to see if anything was recently added without your knowledge. Also check your browser addons.

Good luck!

The only extension I have is uBlock Origin. Arch does not have snaps. SystemD dirs look normal and no cronjobs running.

Mistery... but thanks for the tips.

Very nice. Including OOM kill! Thank you.

Thanks for Hop. It is really fast and easy to configure. Clone a connection and voilá, another server ready. Just boot a few machines to test this and installed ssh keys on those remote so it allows me to logon without password... and why not an option on Hop to do that? ssk-keygen and ssh-copy-id to the server with a single option! This can be done by hand but I would used it if it was available. Nothing fancy, just check for ssh and if it can do it, the user will only put the password once. Btw, I also did a script to allow me to execute Hop, enter a server and get back to Hop, as it exists to the terminal. Why not get back to Hop? Or put an option to exit but make this the default? Just an idea. What does the copy (y) option do? I don't get the command on clipboard. Haven't added so many connections yet, but maybe a 3 column view would be nice when we get loads of connections... Also the ~/.config/hop/config.yaml can be on the help and it is good info, or maybe visit github that not everyone does.

Thanks for checking. There has been some improvements covering that added. Have a look at GitHub issues and add issue if you have something you would like me to add to hop

Short answer is yes. Long answer, it is.

That is the correct answer, but the question makes no sense.

Why, may I ask?

Once someone broke into my house and stole a laptop and an external drive.

It may happen.

Very nice and you even build your own PC. That is awesome.

I never use Cinnamon but I will try it now, mostly XFCE4 or KDE. Cosmic desktop is getting better but all other desktop environments or window managers are great, each have it's own tweaks and goodies.
