I'm a self-employed developer since 2004. I have been working professionally since 2000. My first contact with computers was the C64 at the age of 11 where I coded in machine code and assembler. I worked with PHP professionally for 11 years, nowadays I prefer Angular, Go and Flutter, but I'm open minded. However I would dislike taking a step back to PHP. My services are for hire I'm also looking for remote employment.

2 machines with bridge devices and same mac problem

You’re using systemd, maybe you have cockpit installed and are creating a bridge on each host because you need them for libvirt virtual machines.

One machine is your old workstation and you copied the filesystem to the new machine.

But when you create a bridge you local machine suddenly receives the same IP your old machine has received.
Why?
You search around, “How do I set a new MAC address on a bridge?”
But none of the answers work.

Then you remember, “Hey, systemd uses machine-id for each machine”.
And indeed it does.

  1. You have to rm -f /etc/machine-id and dbus-uuidgen --ensure=/etc/machine-id
  2. Reboot the system
  3. Recrete the bridge

    4. -id

cannot install the best update candidate for package gdal36-libs-3.6.4-5PGDG.rhel9.x86_64

WTF do I have to do to get this bug fixed?

There are a bunch of search results, in the end leading to this dead end, bureaucracy bullshit ticket:
https://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/ticket/5664#ticket
pramsey says, “Please report build issues to the builder, as they won’t get fixed here.”

Typical bureaucratic bullshit.

Yes, crb is enabled.
Yes, epel is installed.

Why is this shit not getting fixed?

mm_answer_keyallowed: publickey authentication test: ED25519 key is not allowed

Debian 12.
After a long time I’ve installed Debian 12 in a VM again.
I used ssh-copy-id to copy the key files to the VM.
When I tried logging in, I still had to supply my password.
What was going on?

Well, I’ll spare you the mindfuck and give you the solution.

It wasn’t the encoding, it weren’t the permissions, it was…
My .ssh/id_ed25519 and .pub were dated older, from 2021, than a newer key I generated for github, id_ed25519_github.
So, I don’t know why all of a sudden this is happeneing, ssh-copy-id decides to take the most newly generated key in the .ssh directory, which is the github one and ignore all other keys.

In order to fix this

because ssh-copy-id since, who knows when, takes only 1 ed25519 key and it’s always the latest one.

I usually always did the copy/pasting by hand, until I stumbled on some smarty-pants blog-post which suggested ssh-copy-id. I’m going to fall back to doing it manually again.

Mastodon ohne Gendern und mit 5000 statt 500 Zeichenbeschränkung

Mich stört bei Mastodon diese Cancel Culture und auch und vor allem das Gendern.
Das ist einfach eine schreckliche, unleserliche, politisch motivierte Verunstaltung der Sprache.

Deshalb habe ich per Hand die Sprachdateien geändert.

Außerdem gefällt mir nicht das man nur auf 500 Zeichen beschränkt sein soll bei der Länge der Posts.
Darum habe ich die Länge auf 5000 Zeichen geändert.

Das ganze gibts als Patch für die Version 4.2.7, aber sie sollte auch für Nachfolgeversionen funktionieren, zum runterladen.
Oben auf “Raw” klicken und “speichern als”.
