I have many times thinking about whether to use and trust this search engine in hope to dump google. It seems like one worth trying out. If you're user of DuckDuckGo (or have been using it) what are your arguments to trust it for privacy reasons? Please avoid any negative (or thread title...

One thing I really miss in Linux is a GUI to monitor, filter and oversee logs and to subscribe to certain logs. I've been googling around and from what I see all this shiny log monitoring software is commercial, there is barely any free. So my first question is, is there free one and which one...

I have nftables configured and that's what's used for firewalling, but out of curiosity I've run iptables in terminal and figured out it's installed and configured to allow all traffic. I'm not sure how is it possible that 2 firewalls are installed at the same time. I don't know if iptables...
