Finally started doing some bullseye to bookworm upgrades, first glitch is php-geoip's having disappeared (removed because of missing support for PHP 8). Will need to investigate what to do for #matomo…

Today's fun: #sssd deployed on Debian 10 works fine once ca-certificates is tweaked to include the internal CA; but doesn't on Debian 11 with the exact same playbook.

Weird “Unknown error code” in the TLS layer — THANK YOU SO MUCH CRYPTOGRAPHERS FOR ACCURATE ERROR REPORTING.

Absolutely loving 🥰 this bit from our #debian colleague Russ Allbery:

“The world does not divide neatly into supported and unsupported use cases. There are a lot of things I do to computers that I expect to work in some situations but not in others.”

Help, is there a “stop trying to show me “Create merge request”” option in #gitlab? This is driving me crazy.

Yes, I have several active branches. No, I don't want to see that popup after every single push.

Thanks.

And in a similar spirit:

systemctl status

Failed to dump process list for 'hostname', ignoring: Input/output error

Logging levels by #borgmatic: [-v {-1,0,1,2}]

Had to dig into https://sources.debian.org/src/borgmatic/1.7.7-1/borgmatic/verbosity.py/ to find out what that means… with logging.ANSWER being a typo/thinko for logging.WARNING I suppose?

TL;DR: borgmatic -v-1 create to have only ERROR-level logs…

On est le 22 octobre, les certificats Deezer (site et CDN) sont expirés depuis le 16 septembre. Ça sent l'énorme cafouillage lors d'une bascule DigiCert → Let's Encrypt, avec de vieux certificats qui ont été (re)mis en place… Je vois du LE OK depuis Darmstadt, du DigiCert expiré depuis Free/Online, avec des adresses IP différentes niveau DNS.

Back to the Future, the Java edition:

// jP: 20010-01-18. See below. We'll need this monitor...

(Brought to you by having to dig into the jmdns source code.)

I really don't want to dive into #Emacs's source code, or to debug which mode(s) and/or part(s) of the code I'm writing are triggering this, but hanging each time I'm typing three quotation marks and hitting Return is making writing #Python code a tad harder than it should be.

Years after years after years, there are still people in FLOSS projects who only care about themselves, who don't follow well- and long-established procedures, and hog project resources at critical times, when those are needed by others.

FUCK. THIS. SHIT.

At some point I should really investigate GRUB_DEFAULT, grub-reboot, and friends in a VM where I can control results (as opposed to the jack-of-all-trades machine I needed to debug with minimal downtime), but at least I managed to confirm that #Linux kernel regression in #SMART.

This is https://bugs.debian.org/1068675 meaning no more “HDD temperature” graph in #munin.

This feeling when you search for answers, find people with the same questions, who wrote about possible solutions (not once but twice!), but their website is not responding…

Currently shaking fist at Evince for not letting me perform a simple case-sensitive search…

Imagine how many “[…]ation” hits you get when looking for AT stuff in some user manual…

Looks like #Stylus no longer works on https://mamot.fr/, possibly because of the following:

> Content-Security-Policy: The page’s settings blocked the loading of a resource at inline (“style-src”).

Because of course having the main column be less than 20% wide is the best design in the world… Not to mention this tiny textarea…

Oh wow, it took me a few days after upgrading two systems from Debian 11 to Debian 12 to realize #borgmatic now ships a service unit and a timer unit (while I've been using good old crontab entries until now).

Worse moment than a Friday evening for hardware to break down? Saturday evening is a strong contender.

Earlier today: “putain je suis tout seul dans l'avion” (~ “fuck, I'm alone in that airplane”). Likely to stay one of the biggest “first time” ever.

It's always sad when the dedicated #apt binding cannot handle #apt's own files (Packages, Sources, etc.), but only when they're compressed in a particular way.

With gzip on the way out, not being able to grok bz2 (~ unimportant) and xz (~ vital) isn't so good…

See https://bugs.debian.org/932491#20 for #xz test cases, and https://bugs.debian.org/932491#27 for #bzip2 test cases (which seem to confirm the problem isn't somewhere in the built-in #lzma module).

H/T @bremner who spotted this 4+ years ago…

Recap: #DebianInstaller Bookworm RC 3 was planned around mid-May.

As Ethan would say while pushing the big red button: #MissionAccomplished!

With thanks to the images team (debian-cd) and the archive team (ftp) for trusting me to handle parts of their workload, meaning a very comfortable autonomy in the release process.

I didn't think I'd have to ever do that but live is full of surprises: just written an #ipsec plugin for #munin to monitor security associations.

Backstory: broken customer VPN in the middle of the day, leading to {up: 0, connecting: 1} instead of the other way around.

So far, very much not convinced by Wayland, GNOME's Expose feature (or whatever is called) is very sluggish, trackpad/mouse input is broken for 5 to 10 seconds after returning to a normal workspace… and external screen blanking is broken after locking the session explicitly.

Finally found a couple hours to s/bullseye/bookworm/ on my laptop (main system).

Of course GNOME people changed all the things (extensions help though).

And apt-get purge systemd-resolved because I need my fucking LAN to work.

This strange feeling when you're wondering whether you'll be getting your first DSA ever, for a stupid mistake that's been unnoticed for a whole year…
