I have just spent a few hours trying to understand why my DNS validated LE certs were not renewing.

I use Traefik v3.6 in Docker and auto LE handling. it's neat.

Turns out that the underlying ACME client (LEGO) that Traefik uses to handle DNS records for the DNS validation method has changed its behaviour.

The outcome of the change is that Traefik/ACME/LEGO will happily create the certificate but will fail the renewal because of DNS shenanigans.

If you tell the LEGO client `LEGO_DISABLE_CNAME_SUPPORT=true` via an ENV VAR previous certificate renewal behaviours return.

Hopefully this helps someone else understand the core issue.

That work also resulted in a somewhat hefty refactor of my Traefik config to make things clearer and neater.

Daily driver computer behaving strangely. Weird network connection behaviour. Uptime is 53 days. Let’s start troubleshooting with an update check and a reboot.

In today's episode, a Windows 11 guest on my Proxmox machine is receiving SLAAC configuration for all three VLANs in my network, despite the network port the Proxmox host is connected to, only being connected to the default VLAN with ID 1.

My laptop has NOT been up for 55.6 years.

Me: This data is important and cannot be re-created if lost, so in addition to making a local NAS copy I'm gonna do a backup in the cloud.
Computer: Okay.
Me: Progress-bar is taking ages to progress. I'll let it run and do something else with my time.
Computer: Computer-touching has stopped so I'll go to sleep.
Me:
Computer: Huh? Why'd you wake me up?
Me: Only 80GB to go. You can do this.
Computer: Zzzz.
Me: Sneakernet is starting to look like a viable option.
