@jwildeboer I've just converted my first application (Forgejo) from MinIO to Garage. It's working great, and Garage is significantly easier to manage than MinIO was. Later today I'll convert Synapse and Mastodon over as well, and then retire MinIO for good from my network.

@liw you can create a signed upload url. If the file is large you need to do multipart upload with multiple signed upload urls.

@harrysintonen I usually do a simulated boot with something like "kvm -hda /dev/sda -snapshot" before attempting real reboot. Useful with remote baremetal systems

The goal in in tpm2sh 0.11 is to repeal and replace the pre-existing uses of tpm2-tools to enable things like PCR sealed hard drive encryption. I'm focusing on smooth and for a sysadmin type of a person common sense type of flow.

It's more like UI problem than a technical problem. A great cli is such that you can put it powerpoint sheet and everyone will get it down to reconfiguring your computers.

@robey Debian 12 was released in 2023-06-10. If you do a clean install and choose only gnome, you will indeed get an installation without rsyslog. If you don't have a Debian system at hand you can see package list, disk image and installation screencast at https://lindi.iki.fi/lindi/debian12/desktop/debian-installer/ . In the disk image you can see that README is not a file but a symlink pointing to /usr/share/doc/systemd/README.logs. This allows you to find it from git any send any grammar fixes upstream.

If I have several servers sending their logs to a central server with systemd-journal-upload, what options are there to forward a copy also to a third-party service that only accepts syslog? Should I just have a service on the central server run "journalctl -f -m" and have its output go to syslog? Would like to keep things simple. #systemd #journald

@arclight Do we have any good alternative architectures that the manufacturer could use? Suppose you for example live in a large mansion and the wifi reception is good next to the oven but you want to do some work in the backyard while waiting for the temperature would be reached. Configure port forwarding from wifi router and then connect from your phone to that? I'd like to understand what sort of solutions people are using or if they just have different use cases?
