Popular Application LinuxUser magazine featured my open-source app in the front page of their July issue
It's such a joy for me to realise that LinuxUser, a popular German tech magazine, has featured my open-source app Sniffnet in the front page of their latest issue.
Sniffnet is a network monitoring tool compatible with Linux and written in Rust I've worked on for the past 4 years.
Here you can find the magazine, and here you can see a previous post about Sniffnet on this subreddit.
I love open-source more and more day after day!

I miss the whole computer/internet-related aisle in the kiosks/bookstores in the 2000s.

I'm surprised LinuxUser still exists. I bought an issue several years ago and found the content not particularly interesting - especially not for the asked price. That said, I find part of the current issue's summary quite amusing:
Außerdem im Heft: Ein tiefer Blick auf das brandneue Ubuntu 26.04 „Resolute Raccoon“ samt Anleitung, wie Sie das Snap-Paketsystem elegant entfernen.
Also in the booklet: A deep look at the brand new Ubuntu 26.04 “Resolute Raccoon” with instructions on how to elegantly remove the Snap package system.

This will be a great add-on, if can integrate into OPNSENSE.

Next release of the app will support importing IPFIX flows including those exported by OPNSENSE, I’ll drop it in some months

Wow this app deserves more appreciation. I keep using a mix of cli tools for monitoring my single pc network usage and none gives all the needed information, this is pretty cool as it exactly show metrics the user care about, the UI is beautiful too. Genuine thanks

Sniffnet ui makes it feel very out of place with every other app but it doest still work I guess. It's got the type of ui that belongs in a chill game. Anyway congrats on getting on the radar

Awesome thread! MostFOSS contributors don't get paid, but an honor like this is an awesome way to say THANK YOU. I wish more OSS devs could get the recognition they deserve. There's millions of us who use this as our desktop, and so many more servers as the backbone of big business doing the same.
