  Lol, Hetzner sent out an email, telling people to patch PHP on their servers.

  I'm gonna give restic a try. Let's see if it makes for a good tool to run file-level backups.

  The rc service of pdns in FreeBSD ports is very basic and not even fully functional (config parameter doesn't do anything), so I rewrote it and added support for starting multiple virtual instances of pdns. Now I'm fighting poudriere again, because I had hoped I could just overlay a single file onto an existing port, but it seems to just silently ignore that :/

  Here I am getting everything ready to install a second CPU in my server, just to realize that I first have to scavenge a second CPU cooler from the parts donor server :neobot_woozy:

  I found a cool little Android app for interactions with hardware security keys. It's called Passchain and it allows the keys to work, without needing Google Play Services (Passchain uses parts of MicroG). This part is also done by another app, that I used previously, called AuthnKey. But what makes Passchain fun is that it also supports scanning QR codes on other devices to do the signin with a security token that's connected to or scanned by the phone. Now I don't see that much pr...

  I disabled my watch history on YouTube, which subsequently also disabled recommendations. My home feed now looks like when you are not logged in at all and I can only go to my subscriptions. I did that because I had found myself in endless holes of videos that seemed pretty interesting, yet felt empty in the end. Yet with the sudden removal of that, I often found myself without something to do in the evening. Luckily I've been meaning to watch some more animes for a while now, but never fe...

  In the last few weeks and months I've written more code than I have in multiple years prior. The sad part of it is that the motivation for that has largely been that it's no longer fun for me to look for existing solutions, as so many disappoint me in their development practices. The really cool part is, that I have finally found ways for me to make writing software fun and I can create the things that can solve exactly my problem and I don't have to worry about them changing in wa...

  Wanted to do some cleanup and remove the 15.0-RELEASE jail base. But Bastille is telling me that some jails are still using it? Now I find out that the affected jails have the osrelease set to 15.1-RELEASE in the jail.conf, but their fstab still mounts the 15.0-RELEASE. How did that happen :neobot_confused:

  Gitlab Workspaces are one of the worst things I’ve ever had the displeasure of having to install. 0 config options for anything Either you have the exact setup they intended, or you’re doing tons of yak shaving to get anything done. Custom TLS certs? Not in the workspace proxy, you’re gonna need a workaround IPv6? Pfff, we hardcoded 0.0.0.0, so good luck. :aneobot_explode:

  It's interesting how on GrapheneOS you could easily just miss a major Android upgrade having happened. With all of the stuff stripped out that Google puts on top, there's not that much that noticeably changes. Sure, there's some new stuff in settings, but the only thing that caught my eye immediately after the 17 upgrade was that an app (that I installed) now uses a different icon by default. And honestly, it's nice.

  My little side project of configuring a FreeBSD installation on a ThinkPad T480 is coming along nicely :neobot_angel:

  FreeBSD update time! Started 3 system at the same time. One is already done and rebooted. And it's not my main one :neobot_woozy:

  @SuperDicq@minidisc.tokyo Bandcamp was already mentioned. Otherwise Qobuz has basically all music available for DRM-free purchase :)

  @lekowicz@mastodon.online @viticci@mastodon.macstories.net I wholeheartedly agree! In a world that seems to be going absolutely insane around AI, I think it's refreshing to see that there are still people that focus on what really matters: Real people. In fact, if anything, AI has helped me realize just how much better real human creation is, and I love to see that I'm not the only one to think so.

  Spent way too long debugging why I couldn't access Samba via my VPN. Something something QUIC, something something IPv6 doesn't work. I wouldn't consider it fixed, but at least it works for now.

  The gl inet Mudi 7 appears to have completely messed up traffic accounting. It skyrocketed up to „120GB used“ in 2 days and is now stuck at that number. It has, in fact, not been anywhere close to 120GB and Telekom luckily agreed with my estimate.

  Let's say "not really working". It's pretty consistent at just completely locking up after a few minutes and accesses. Dang, this would have been nice.

  @sven Very fun talk to have seen live. It’s incredibly what the whole team made possible in this hardware :)!

  As promised, I wrote a final summary of all that happened around the year-long shitpost that was the upcloudbgpwhen.de fediverse bot. I tried to recount the entire history of it, including the early beginnings and all of the smaller events that happened through the year. It was a very fun project and I hope you can get a last bit of enjoyment out of this summary :neobot_happy: https://jsteuernagel.de/posts/the-legacy-of-upcloudbgpwhen-de/

  @AlexB Well, realistically I have 0 need for it and don’t want to just have it for it to lay around. That‘s what‘s been stopping me from getting one myself too :neobot_laugh_sweat:

  @AlexB I still keep playing with the idea of getting a T420 again. Like I miss that thing. The keyboard was so great too :neobot_melt:

  @AlexB :O! What a beauty. Reminds me of my Arch Thinkpad T420 that I used during my entire time in uni. That a good device. And I absolutely loved that ThinkLight.

  I spent a good hour trying to understand the OAuth documentation of Grafana and making it work with kanidm. It worked, but I was still missing the group mapping for, for example, the admin role. And then I randomly found the Grafana example in the kanidm documentation :neobot_facepalm: But hey, at least it confirmed that everything that I was doing beforehand was correct, I just didn't yet know how to do the group/role mapping. https://kanidm.github.io/kanidm/stable/integrations/oauth2/...
