 +The darkstat systemd intergration suck, it is a legacy setup.  As darkstat can simply be driven from command link I made a direct systemctl service file to operate.

 +As can be seen glances uses ''pipx'' this is a good reference that explains some use of ''pipx'' commands, [[https://www.marsja.se/pipx-installing-uninstalling-upgrading-python-packages-in-virtual-envs/|Pipx: Installing, Uninstalling, & Upgrading Python Packages in Virtual Envs]].  Some key ones are:
 +  *''pipx list'' to list the installed python packages under pipx
 +  *''pipx upgrade package'' to upgrade a python package under pipx
 +  *''pipx uninstall package'' to uninstall a pipx package
