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

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?

Google Chrome doesn’t delete my cookies

Yesterday I was on a site where I accidentally logged in with a banned account.
So i clicked the “2 pins” icon next to the address field and deleted the “stored data”.

Then i refreshed the page but the cookies were still set, unlike on Firefox, where the cookies are actually deleted.

This has got to be against some EU privacy law.

Oracle are scammers and criminals

How to get free real people addresses and bank account data?

Offer something “for free” and require those people interested in the free offer to give their name, address, phone number and bank account data, then suspend their accounts for made up terms of service violations and refuse to delete the data after deletion has been requested.
That’s what Oracle does with their Oracle Cloud offering.

I have reported this practice with the German GDPR data protection person.

So you can create your account online, for free, no snail mail required, but you’re supposed to write a snail mail letter, and pay 7€+ for a registered letter, because if you don’t they’ll just say that they didn’t receive any letter.
So you have to waste time, paper and energy to have your data deleted, despite you having made a demand to an Oracle support employee.

This is fraud.
