CONFESSION:
My ongoing hatred of git is almost entirely grounded in my inability to switch FreeBSD branches without wiping and recloning.

Why doesn’t logrotate work on Ubuntu?
#Sysadminnery
(half-serious... I support 1 Ubuntu 20 LTS machine with a high-abuse web server and periodically need to run logrotate -F /etc/logrotate.d/apache2 by hand because it really doesn't work… I’m likely to figurer it out... )

I never ceases to amaze me that mail systems do this shit. I know it was a thing with Sendmail but most of us have moved on or at least fixed the stupid mailer flags.
#Sysadminnery #Email #Sendmail

The truth is, I’ve never trusted FileVault or really any whole-disk encryption.
I have a couple of FreeBSD machines using geli but not on their boot disk (is that even a thing?) and I’ve never been willing to jump into FileVault because it seems to have had a steady stream of “Oh, well, hope you have a backup” problems.

It seems to me based on mailing list traffic like a lot of people are seeing the free side of MS email (outlook.com, hotmail.com, etc. not paying customers on ms365) doing what it so often does today: mystery rejections and dropping mail on the floor.
I assure you: if you're getting bounces because of this, your mail admin knows that it is happening and has NO WAY to address it.
#Sysadminnery

Using MS365 for email is accepting the combined unknown unknowns of both MS operating policy choices and their other customers’ security.
And the KNOWN risk that it makes phishing much easier to execute in ways which are harder to catch.
