If you run Debian 13 systemd-networkd bridging you are going to have a very bad day if you do a stable update of systemd
(It will segfault leaving you with no network)
Update: as pointed out by Colin you also have to be using VLANs.

Has anyone tried #nixMaid, a systemd-based, fresh alternative to #homeManager? I do like the concept and have had my problems with home-managers slow sequential activation.

Hmm my #Fedora 42 is unhappy with yesterdays 6.15.9-201 - falling back to 8-200 is fine.
Got as far as 'basic target' but no further; it's not hung (caps lock and ctrl-alt-del work). Time to break out some systemd options to get some more debug. Nothing hit the logs on disk.

So there's a decades-old mechanism (and actual standard) how programs lock serial ports on unix-like systems in /var/lock. it's used in practice even in 2025 and #systemd >= 258 simply breaks it with "we don't care". I am not a systemd opponent, but that kind of behaviour [without a prior community-wide discussion or providing patches for known-affected projects and a grace…

Quadlet to taka cudowna rzecz...

Rozwiązuje to odwieczny problem, czy instalować wszystko bez kontenerów i ogarnąć systemd, czy bawić się w docker compose, czy pisać serwisy uruchamiające kontener...

Z qadlet'em opisujemy kontenery, sieci, wolumeny w systemd i normalnie kontrolujemy przez systemctl, journalctl itd - cudowne. Bardzo ładnie się to spina z Ansible.

Me and my new #yubikey5 part 2:
Now we get to the nitty-gritty parts. I'm using #mbsync to sync multiple #imap accounts to local

Screenshot of a terminal in background showing a manual triggering of mbsync with one of my mail addresses, and a GTK window in foreground (pinentry-gtk) prompting me to insert the PIN to unlock my Yubikey to decript the passwords provided by the GPG encrypted password store from pass.
Full-screen terminal window showing the output from `journalctl -n0 -f` when I plug in the youbikey and wait while for the automatic mailsync service to trigger.

The output shows that while the Yubikey is inserted and properly recognized, when mbsyncer starts it asks for the PIN, but directly gets a `PIN callback returned error: IPC call has been cancelled` message, which in turn makes the decription fail, which leads to a skipping of the account in mbsync. And this will continue for the next …

I'm giving up on CachyOS. Sank the rest of my evening into it, to no avail. DNS resolution is still unreliable in pacman and Firefox (and everything else) even after taking my network-local DNS server out of the chain, getting rid of systemd-resolved, and trying several different providers (quad9, Cloudflare, Google). The other ThinkPad running openSUSE is having no such issues tonight: it's CachyOS specific (since I see no evidence that it is a hardware issue - local network traffic…

Dlaczego ja to sobie robię... Wymyśliłem, że ten plasmoid (KDE applet) ze statystykami kampera będzie napisany w Rust. Z komunikacją po Dbus z refreshem na signal. Znalazłem nawet przykład bazowego appletu z bindingami generowanymi przez CXX (bo przecież niema natywnej biblioteki w Rust, tylko C ).

Tamten prototyp sprzed kilku dni na kargos i serwisie w golangu działał, więc musiałem poprawić, żeby było idealnie.

Applet dalej jest 2 częściowy - user serwis już bez systemd timera,…

Did run into an issue with `jellyfin` starting a bit too fast and somehow trying to read the metadata directory _before_ it's available. I added a delay to the `/etc/systemd/system/jellyfin.service.d/jellyfin.service.conf` by adding a line to the `[Service]`:
```
[Service]
ExecStartPre=bash -c "while [ ! -d /opt/jellyfin/metadata ]; do sleep 1; done"
```
This fixes the issue and now the service comes up after reboot without restarting the service man…

Let's get the basics right for my laptop config:
- encryption during install, not jumping through hoops in partitioning
- wifi easily selected during install
- preferably non-systemd
- software not too outdated
Exactly where FreeBSD could shine, were it not for an unsupported wifi adapter 🤔

Captive portals, such a pain...
On ICE trains and in most places, it works fine.
I can open the portal and log in.
In the DB lounge, I can't open the captive portal login, in any browser.
It works on my phone though, so I use it as an access point as a workaround.
I can ping using domain names, includig my own servers.
curl says no route to host.
Fiddling with NetworkManager and systemd-resolved and dnsmasq and nsswitch... nope, can't figure it…

There is a well known bug with Wayland & SDDM on FreeBSD KDE: Ctrl C by keypress abruptly throws you out of your Wayland session. Two things to add to that:
First: KDE and FreeBSD devs are actively looking for FreeBSD help in this, bcs the regular systemd type of logs are obviously not available here for bug tracing. If you can help, please do!
Second: Found a great solutions in the FreeBSD forums. It's a bit hidden in the threads so for clarity's sake:
