So, die #HausSensorik hat jetzt auch 1 anständiges LogRotate, direkt über `SIGALRM` und die #OpenRC-Skripte.

Damit werden die Log-Dateien geschlossen, umbenannt, neu geöffnet, und zwar sowohl
* manuell als auch
* zeitgesteuert via cronjob.

Tolle Funktionalität, fließt demnächst direkt ins #SoftwareGeraffel vong 3D-Röntgenmikroskop.

fecking! openrc! or more accurately, fecking debian, probably!

PSA: don't use pam_openrc to do your user services on login unless you want SSHing in and then closing the SSH session to stop all your user services

with pam_openrc, it goes "oops that's a logout!" and stops everything.

Instead you can put /sbin/openrc -U default in ~/.xsessionrc or... whatever the Wayland equivalent is. There probably isn't one. You're probably just screwed (or need to do something per-DE).

#OpenRC

Arg. Switched our server to OpenRC (on Debian), now LXC containers don't start on boot.

We've enabled their autostart setting and doing sudo rc-service lxc restart starts them just fine, but they crash during boot!

Received container state "ABORTING" instead of "RUNNING"

Any ideas?
