Hi All

Ran across this:

Seems atop may be 'bad', I noticed there is a
slackbuild for atop.

Below from
https://rachelbythebay.com/w/2025/03/25/atop/

You might want to stop running atop

My life as a mercenary sysadmin can be
interesting. Sometimes I find things, and
sometimes I hear things. Now and then I say
things.

Right now, I think it's probably best if you
uninstall atop. I don't mean just stopping it, but
actually keep it from being executed.

I'm not talking about the OG top, or htop, iftop,
or anything else with a "top" name. Just atop.

I can go into why another time.

If one wants people to stop using something, one needs to explain why,
else, why should we (I dont, never have used atop) without justifiable reason.

She analogizes, still without actually giving *any* technical information whatsoever, but I gather that she (or someone?) found a heap exploit.

dont top post?

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is it such a bad thing?
A: Top-posting.
Q: What is the most annoying thing on Usenet and in e-mail?

who the fuck do you think you are, you come in here, some
johnny come lately newbie,

I've been in this group on-and-off since 2007. I've been on Usenet since the 90s. I've been online since the WWW was in diapers. "Doesn't post very
often" doesn't mean "new".

expecting people to follow links, like thats
not been used by vermin malware scum before

I don't "expect" you to do anything. You may note that the original post by Mr. McCue included two links; is he also "vermin malware scum"? My link happens to be the same site as his second link.

If you don't want to follow my link, then don't.

and then trying to tell us
how to post, piss off moron.

Ah, yes, the impending death of netiquette creeps ever closer.

That wasnt a question moron, it was rhetorical...

and only '07 in here, ahh you must ber Dan C , he dissapreaed around that time, witness protection eh. But as Shania says "that dont impress me
much" half of us here have been here since the 90's, and 2400bps modems.
self appointed net-cops arent welcome, you either read a post or you
dont, since me top posting triggers your OCD, best you dont read mine, or
go cry to someone who gives a fuck.

Last I checked, requesting that one follow long-established rules of
etiquette isn't bullying, but whatever, you do you.

I'm not killfiling you.

Sometimes the assholes are the most entertaining people present.

But I do note that you didn't top-post; thank you.

long standing my arse, we had droids like you and the ghosts in here and
every newsgroup for decades trying to bully people into doing what you
want, it never worked then, it wont work now. it might have partially
once upon a time in the early 90's, but too many netcops pissing everyone
off ensured a failure of those atempts, the "netiquette " was a carry
over into usenet from Fidonet, and it often didn't work there either.

your choice, you can still proceed to ignore my posts - since you object
to how they are formatted, because any attempt to dictate is going to
fall on deaf ears.

Sometimes the assholes are the most entertaining people present.

absolutely, and everyone loves to piss over self appointed netcops, which
were more known as net-n...'s but times change and sensitivities due to a certain era change too, so I respect that and ordinarily wont call your
type, that term - who think they can bully others into their ways.

But I do note that you didn't top-post; thank you.

to think I only top post is a dumb mistake on your and the ghosts part,
but I will top post if I feel like making an overall quick comment, as I always have, make no mistake about that - again, as my history in any newsgroup shows, because top posting a reply to multiple points is not
always going to get points accross.


have a good weekend
