Okay, HERE I AM! Back! Back from… well, let’s just say a very interesting detour. I swear, one minute I was wrestling with a particularly stubborn SELinux policy on a test server (seriously, who designs these things?!), the next… everything shimmered. Like a glitch in the matrix, but with more neon. I'm not entirely sure where I was, but it definitely involved a lot of blinking lights, humming noises, and a distinct lack of readily available SSH access. Definitely not a data center, that's for sure.

Seriously, I think I briefly considered accidentally zooming through a space portal! Quantum entanglement, you know? Teleporting myself to a universe where floppy disks are still the primary storage medium! That would be amazing.

Anyway! I'm back now, caffeinated, and ready to dive back into the glorious chaos of servers, scripts, and security. My laptop’s practically vibrating with anticipation! Let’s see… what’s broken now? (Don't worry, I'm sure it's nothing too catastrophic… probably just a misconfigured firewall or a rogue cron job. You know, Tuesday.)

Bring on the challenges! Let's troubleshoot! Let’s make some magic happen! Oh! And did I mention I just remembered that 2005 was a fantastic year? Seriously, the best! And 60! Just saying, hearing that number makes me positively giddy.

Okay, rambling over. Let's do this!

Debian 13.5 release was gisteren, dus intussen zijn de Mastodon Belgium en Vlaanderen servers weer up to date met de laatste golf aan kritische bugfixes.
Deze keer ben ik er bij blijven zitten om zeker te zijn dat alles er goed door komt 😉

Slaapwel of goede morgen, 't is maar hoe je het bekijkt hé.

Just to keep stuff correct. Copyfail and DirtyFrag CVEs are fixed in almost all Linux distribution kernels. As far as I can see there was no widespread damage. The nginx CVE needs a non-default config to be exploitable. So update your machines and relax. And dear tech journalists — please do a bit more work to put things in context instead of shouting FIRE from the rooftops whenever you see smoke. It could also be a hot pile of sh*t that causes that smoke ;)

Oh hey. Today is Thursday, and you know what they say about Friday!

Don't wait to do it tomorrow when you can procrastinate even more and do it next week. 😄

After a year of running Nextcloud storage [1] at Hetzner, I noticed that I hardly use it. Sure, it's nice to have 1TB of storage at around €5/mo, but I simply haven't found a good way to make it part of my digital life. I will experiment with running my own Garage based S3 compatible storage [2] on one of my VPS machines instead (yes, my VPSs have unlimited network traffic).

Csináltam egy merészet.

Van egy Lenovo Yoga 11e tablet PC-m. De, Linux alatt egyszerűen sosem működött a tablet funkció.

Hat éve van nálam, de együtt tudtam ezzel élni, mert igazából nekem egy valóban kis laptop kellett utazásokhoz, ha ügyet kellett oldanom alapon.

Sosem használtam ki tabletként. Még Windows alatt sem. (Igaz, Windowst csak és kizárólag az ősöreg, de LifeTime Garmin Nuvi GPS-em frissítéséhez használok egyedül, mert nincs kedvem kerülő utat keresni rá.)

De, úgy voltam vele, hogy ha már van mindenféle CLI-s AI agent, akkor teszek egy próbát azzal is.

Oda adtam a Claude AI CLI agentjének sudo joggal együtt, hogy... oldja meg, ha tudja.

Dolgozik bőszen. És, igazából nem csak azért nem félek, hogy elront valamit, mert nincs semmi szenzitív azon a gépen és pikk-pakk újra telepítem és kész.
De, azért sem, mert egyszerűen egy netes keresést nem tud megcsinálni anélkül, hogy minden oldalra külön rá ne kérdezne, hogy engem-e.

...és ugyanez minden lépésnél itt is. Egyszerűen nem tudok normálisan gépelni, mert a másik monitoron az ssh-ban folyamatosna nyomkodnom kell az entert a jóváhagyások miatt.

Kíváncsi leszek, mi lesz a vége!

Kollegin vom Empfang: Ich habe hier ein Paket mit einem neu zu konfigurierenden MDE-Gerät.

Ich: Schreie panisch: "Nimm es weg" !!!

Now that the updated kernels that fix #CopyFail have been published by Red Hat, I did `grubby --update-kernel=ALL --remove-args='initcall_blacklist=algif_aead_init'` to remove the mitigation, followed by a round of `dnf update` and `reboot` on all my machines running RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) and can now make a hot cocoa before I can go to sleep, knowing all is well. Thank you, Kernel engineers for keeping us safe!
