Today I learned that on GNU/Linux distribution system shell terminals, you may send a message to another user by the command `write`. Example: "write joe", enter a message to copy "Test message" and type Ctrl-D.

foss applications in linux / android repositories tend to suffer from bad descriptions
This one in f-droid makes no attempt to describe what the app actually does:
"This is a native Android application for Ruffle."
Better descriptions would be
"Ruffle is an open source flash player able to run many swf files."
or
"ruffle is an emulator intended to run adobe flash applications."

DRS but for #Proxmox? Yes!
With #ProxLB (free and #opensource / #GPLv3) you can get something which comes close to it - also featuring things like affinity/anti-affinity rules, node pinning, grouping and maintenance mode for multiple nodes. And if you’re even more interested, there’ll be a talk about my project at the #DutchProxmoxDay next month :)
