avahi-daemon and “.local” domain issues
I have a Ubuntu 16.04 based HTPC/Media Server that’s running 24/7. As far as I can remember using an official Ubuntu distro, I’ve always had issues with the avahi-daemon. The issue is pretty often discussed online. Some people decide to just delete daemon, however, I actually need it as I’m running a CUPS server and use Kodi as my AirPlay reciever.
Where can I see a list of kernel killed processes?
Is there some way I can check which of my processes the kernel has killed? Sometimes I log onto my server and find that something that should’ve run all night just stopped 8 hours in and I’m unsure if it’s the applications doing or the kernels.
What does the @ symbol denote in the beginning of a unix domain socket path in Linux?
When I run netstat --protocol unix or lsof -U I see that some unix socket paths are prepended with @ symbol, for example, @/tmp/dbus-qj8V39Yrpa. Then when I run ls -l /tmp I don’t see file named dbus-qj8V39Yrpa there.

Why assign MAC and IP addresses on Bridge interface
Say I create a bridge interface on linux (br0) and add to it some interfaces (eth0, tap0, etc.). My understanding is that this interface act like a virtual switch with all its interfaces/ports that I add to it.
Can I stop Linux from listening to a USB input device as a keyboard, but still capture events with a program?
I have a USB barcode scanner at /dev/input/event0 (/dev/input/by-id/usb-Metrologic_Metrologic_Scanner-event-kbd), and scanning a barcode causes it to send keypress events. I’m capturing these keypresses using the libdevinput Ruby library, which works great. The issue is that each barcode is also entered as a username, and subsequently a password on the Raspberry Pi, causing lots of failed login attempts. (The Raspberry Pi will be headless, and inside a microwave.)
How does umask affect ACLs?
Can someone explain to me how umask affects the default mask of newly created files if ACLs are activated? Is there some documentation about this?
