      Oh joy, Sunday morning Debian 12 update has broken a few things:
      1. MariaDB will no longer start up on a VM where the data_dir is set to /home/var/lib/mysql
      2. Nagios is full of errors " 421 Misdirected Request" on sites with Apache httpd proxies.

        I'm very happy how my Linux Mint looks like these days. I did a few changes to the themes I use manually and overall the ethereal look is off the charts. Love it.

        Gruvbox Plus icons, Desert-Teal-Light (modified) theme, Cinnamon default theme, Bibata-modern-ice cursor theme, gruvbox wallpaper.

          The new Linux Mint can't boast much in the way of new features, but it does come with many modest, attractive improvements.

              The GNU Guix System’s lack of manpower problems

              As if Francesco P. Lovergine heard my prayers, he wrote an article detailing his experiences with using Guix. Considering he's a longtime Debian developer, we're looking at someone who knows a thing or two about Linux.

              In the last few months, I have installed and upgraded my second preferred GNU/Linux system, GNU Guix, on multiple boxes.

                    Speaking of Matrix global services occasionally exacerbating one's propensity for migraines, oh look a total outage for the malignant design... oh but they tell everyone a fantastic story:

                    > "Matrix is a distributed fault tolerated encrypted network of disaggregated nodes!" 😐

                    except that they deployed via an active/passive two node PostgreSQL backend which just crashed both nodes and took 55TB of network data offline. also their TLS termination is fronted by CloudFlare (anything in back of TLS termination is not TLS encrypted).

                                      Good to see that XLibre forked the X11 server so projects depending on X11 can go on further.
