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…

Fighting imposter syndrome, the #DebianDeveloper edition…

Early, quick, and dirty attempts at getting emoji support back after the Debian 11→12 upgrade led me to this comment: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104542#c2

and indeed, emojis are back once hinting is enabled!

Alright, limiting disk space for #Linux kernel stable series was harder than I thought:

[remote "stable"]
url = https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git
fetch = +refs/heads/linux-6.1.y:refs/remotes/stable/linux-6.1.y
fetch = +refs/tags/v6.1.:refs/tags/v6.1.
tagopt = --no-tags

One would thought limiting the fetching to the linux-6.1.y branch would be enough, but every single tag was still being pulled…

@admin Hello, c'est connu les 502 à répétition sur les images ? Ça ne semble pas être un problème lié à Firefox chéri, cela arrive également via cURL en n'étant pas logué. Cela concerne les images de profil mais aussi celles des toots. En réessayant (F5 agressif, bascule entre Home/Notifications, etc.), ça finit par fonctionner.

A friend is searching for the source code in assembly of the first compiler that made it possible to build C on PDP-11.

Pointers and reboots are welcome!

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.

It seems I have a @Codeberg account now: https://codeberg.org/jssfr/aioxmpp/issues/397

This is the #Python/#aioxmpp edition, after the Perl/Net::XMPP one (linked in the issue).

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).

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.

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…

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.)

CyrilBrulebois, 2 months ago to emacs

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.

Need some peps? YOASOBI's アイドル (Idol) is awesome and is going to kick your ass into doing shit!

(Feeling bad for the next song in that Anime Hits playlist, it's hard to come after that one…)

Le tout numérique continue à cartonner :

« Consulter la situation de mon véhicule dans le FVA » (https://www.fva-assurance.fr/consulter-le-fva/) → https://www.consultation-fva.fr/ = 403.

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.

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…

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.

Another side effect of the bullseye to bookworm upgrade: losing #clusterssh.

Connection to server failed -- (version 11.0)
Authorization required, but no authorization protocol specified
at /usr/share/perl5/App/ClusterSSH/Window/Tk.pm line 57.

I know there are a bunch of other solutions out there, but clusterssh's been a trusted companion for many years of sysadmin/parallel-or-even-massive upgrades.

As anticipated a while ago, not amused by #borgmatic's breaking changes, like forcing --create --check to be written `create check' (despite the doc's still mentioning the old syntax).

Changing the repository syntax could be considered even nastier, as the old syntax is still supported (resulting in backups getting created) with a return code that's non-zero…

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.

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

In case you wonder why @libreoffice is being a pain in the ass, that happens in SfxViewFrame::Notify().

Do you really think that pestering people over and over and over and over and over and over and over again is going to make them want to be involved? #spam

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…

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…
