A number of accounts being used for political astroturfing recently in r/greengroundnews and r/whistleblowers:

There's a spam ring that activated in the last month or two, posting comments in months-old threads with fraudulent phone numbers for travelers asking how to change their flights or other travel-related questions. They're posting in subreddits for different airlines (Alaska, Delta, Frontier, JetBlue, Southwest, United) and using different Unicode characters to try to obfuscate the phone numbers. They're also using the "feature" that allows users to hide their post history to try to evade detection.

Looks like all of them were registered about eight years ago and recently activated, and have similar usernames.
I reported their posts in r/theviralthings as spam, but considering the subreddit itself is three sock puppet moderators link farming for k

Among the additions are support for same-day payments, payment by check, and paying from multiple accounts online. Going away are the ability to make bi-weekly auto payments, the ability to self-service change your due date in the dashboard, and viewing your payment history from before the switchover. Other changes include that a loan will be reported to all three credit bureaus, and monthly statements will be available. Dashboard and iOS app updates are planned too.

I have an Ubuntu server with a Munin install that's been running for a few months. One thing I'm curious about is the inode table usage. It spikes daily then slowly returns to baseline over the next 24 hours or so, so I'm not concerned by it. What is going on behind the scenes though, or how are inodes allocated? I do have a daily Logwatch report that is emailed around the time of the spike, but why the slow decrease thereafter?
