How to get Battery status notification when a battery is full or low

Charging a battery for a longer duration will damage your battery, so unplug the power cable when it is 100% charged.
There is no default application to notify when the battery charged or discharged, and you need to install a third-party application to notify you.
For this, I usually install the Battery Monitor app, but it was deprecated, so I created a shell script to get the notification.
Laptop battery charging and discharging status can be identified using the following two commands.

5 advanced rsync tips for Linux sysadmins | Enable Sysadmin
In a previous article entitled Sysadmin tools: Using rsync to manage backup, restore, and file synchronization, I discussed cp and sftp, and looked at the basics of rsync for moving files around. There are also a couple of other great articles here on Enable Sysadmin on tar and SSH you should take a look at. Copying files to and from remote systems and having an easy way to run a backup of something you're working on (or, for that matter, critical company data) are basic, useful tools in the sysadmin toolbox that I use again and again. Sometimes, however, you may want to do something a little more sophisticated, like move data across a less trusted or slower link. Rsync can provide encryption to protect it in transit, compression to make it flow better, and checksums to ensure you get what you were expecting.

How to install Virtualmin on Ubuntu 20.04 for a cPanel/CentOS-like web hosting control panel - TechRepublic
For many, Red Hat pulling support from the standard CentOS releases had some serious side effects. One of the biggest dominoes to fall was cPanel--for many web hosting companies, cPanel is the de facto standard control panel. It offers absolutely everything necessary to manage the hosting of your every client's needs.
Once Red Hat pulled the plug on CentOS 8, cPanel announced they wouldn't be supporting CentOS Stream. The good news is that the company is accelerating their efforts to support Ubuntu Server LTS, and should have that ready to ship by late 2021.
For those looking to either migrate away from CentOS or are looking for something that can be used on the Ubuntu platform for now (or for good), there's always Virtualmin.

Security Leftovers
| Security Auditing Tools For Ubuntu
Malware, where aren’t thou found? Well, even our wonderful Ubuntu can be infected. So what can we do about it? Hope and pray we keep our system safe and better yet, audit our systems regularly for malwares and rootkits. There are 4 system auditors for Ubuntu that we will review - lynis, rkhunter, chkrootkit, and clamav.
[...]
Oddly enough, there aren’t many tools to scan for malware out there for Linux. Why? I’m not sure. However, these 4 tools are more than enough to detect malwares, rootkits, and viruses.
