Day 20: the scrollbar-gutter property
It’s time to get me up to speed with modern CSS. There’s so much new in CSS that I know too little about. To change that I’ve started #100DaysOfMoreOrLessModernCSS. Why more or less modern CSS? Because some topics will be about cutting-edge features, while other stuff has been around for quite a while already, but I just have little to no experience with it.

Dogfooding Vanilla CSS
The last changes I made to my classless CSS framework, Vanilla CSS, was in November of 2021. It feels like I just pushed out that small project last weekend, yet here we are almost a full year later.
So I decided to circle-back on the project to see if there were any improvements I should make or features that could add. Overall, I was impressed that I covered most web UI elements fairly well on the initial release. Good job, past Brad.

Send warning email when your drive is dying - Lukáš Zapletal
My Samsung 870 EVO 2TB SDD is dying after 13 months of basic workstation operation. Looks like some problem with a large batch because I found many other users complaining on forums. I am going for RMA. Fortunately, I restored from my backup.
Lesson learned: SMART needs to be monitored on my home servers, this is not the first time and I was lucky enough to see the errors in the system journal in advance.

Linux Terminal Server | Linux.org
A Terminal Server is a server that can provide the Operating System to the workstations. In most cases, the workstations are diskless and have no means to install an Operating System (OS).
Basically, on the Linux Terminal Server, there are images created that are used by the client systems. You can create an image with all installed applications, wallpaper, etc. Each system will then use this image as if it were a live-CD image. The image is read-only and you must update the image when you need another program or an Operating System update.
