There's an app I use. Cx file explorer. It will go into the kindle

a book in there--for example, at times, an author makes a free ebook

I suspect that Gnome's file manager might be able to do it. (I can with

For copying files to and from my PC (including Kindle books), I use an app called 
WIFI FTP Server.  It starts up an FTP server on your phone that you can connect to 
with Filezilla (or whatever) from your PC.  The server is only active while the app 
is running and you can set a password.  FTP is not a particularly secure protocol, 
but since I only used it when I'm on my home WIFI, it's not much of a risk.  It lets 
me move files around without worrying about cables, drivers, USB modes, etc.

I wonder if the Termux app would allow you to do look at that.

You can download the latest Termux from the F-Droid repo.

Check the USB connection type setting on your (android) device. When
I set it to "file transfer" (on an android 12-beta device) I can see
my Kindle books. While I could open the files with LibreOffice they
are in a format that I didn't have a compatible viewer for on my
laptop. [My android device file viewer(s) wouldn't get me into the

Re: [CentOS] Find out which process consumed Network bandwidth

2021-09-14 Thread Kenneth Porter

Take a look at Cacti, which is available in the EPEL repo:

https://www.cacti.net/

It's not just for network accounting. It polls multiple hosts for all 
kinds of data and keeps RRD tables for display. Cacti provides a web 
interface that can display the data in charts. You'll need to install 
plugins for iptables to do the actual data collection.


I've used this to track per-host Internet usage on my LAN by adding an 
iptables chain with one do-nothing rule per LAN host, just to maintain a 
counter for Cacti to poll.

While you probably can't recover such information for past events,
going forward, iptables can help you figure this out. Putting an 
IPtables

rule in the OUTPUT table prior to ACCEPTing the packets can help, e.g.:

    iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp -m owner --uid-owner nginx -j ACCEPT



OUTPUT and "-m owner" are only going to work for outgoing connections, 
initiated by nginx, which probably isn't much for most systems that 
aren't reverse proxies.


Most of the time, if you want iptables to track the amount of traffic 
for a specific service, you'll need one or more rules inserted at the 
beginning of the INPUT chain, before the typical first rule that allows 
RELATED and ESTABLISHED packets.  You could have one rule that allows 
all traffic to the service port (a stateless rule), or you could have 
one rule that allows ESTABLISHED traffic to the service port and one 
that allows NEW,UNTRACKED traffic to the port (stateful rules)



That is nice solution! Why do you add a new output rule rather you can 
look at the existing port rule:


# iptables -v -L | grep https
xxx yyy ACCEPT tcp  --  any    any anywhere anywhere 
    tcp dpt:https ctstate NEW,UNTRACKED


xxx is number packets, yyy is number bytes. If adding OUTPUT rule, 
what is gained? 



Because the rule you're looking at only matches NEW and UNTRACKED 
packets, so it's usually only a record of the TCP SYN packets that 
initiated connections.  If you want a byte count of the traffic for that 
service, this rule won't provide that.  The nginx logs are the most 
detailed and usually the most useful record of traffic used, but 
accounting through iptables is also an option.


Though, if you're interested in the sort of less detailed logs that 
you'll get from iptables, then I'd suggest what you want might be
