Hmmm - interesting. I hadn’t bothered to check before now, but I’m seeing something similar on one of the two PBS CTs I run.

Comparing the output of netstat -lantop on both CTs, I can see that the one with more outbound traffic has more waiting connections from localhost on port 82, the port Proxmox Backup Servers provides its API over:

I’m wondering if the graph is pulling aggregated network data, including the loopback interface. If so, and it’s all just port 82 stuff on 127.0.0.1, then it’s probably nothing to worry about.

Edit: found this forum post that seems to indicate it’s aggregating all the byte values from /proc/dev/net, so this is probably nothing to worry about if your netstat output, like mine, only shows API conections to/from 127.0.0.1 on port 82.

Lol @ “some 20 years ago … ADSL from 2002”. Thanks for making me feel old!

Hoping someone more in the know can explain this to me. Could commissioning an art piece feasibly mean you’ve paid for that art to be yours? Are there types of contracts available when commissioning art pieces where, conceivably, the person commissioning the piece gets the rights to use it for other things?

I’m not across the legal and ethical aspects of commissioning art pieces, and neither the article or the DA post gives any additional detail. Just wondering if the “Josh” who the artist named in their DeviantArt post be someone who was involved in the Nerf gun somehow…
