At 16:00 CEST, @npub1y908...900y and I will start presenting "Liberating the social web using *BSD" We'll perform a common introduction, then @npub1y908...900y will share his experience of running Exquisite for more than two years. Then I'll talk about the BSD Cafe - both human and technical experiences. #EuroBSDCon #ebc25 #ebc2025 #BSDCafe
Hello, #EuroBSDCon ! #EBC2025 #EBC25 #EuroBSDCon2025 image
Spent my morning figuring out why Nginx was dead on a server with many days of uptime. No reboot, no kernel panic. Just... down. Ubuntu 24.04. The cause? An automatic unattended-upgrade of libc6. This prompted systemd to work its magic, wisely deciding to restart every running service to apply the patch. Fine. The problem is, in the exact same minute, the systemd timer for certbot decided it was time to renew certificates. The result: - systemd stops Nginx. - Port 80 becomes free. - certbot, in standalone mode, immediately grabs it for validation. - systemd tries to restart Nginx, which fails with "Address already in use". The web server was knocked offline by its own certificate renewal script. I swear, this is the kind of cascading failure that has never happened to me in years of running *BSD. With a classic cron job, certbot would have failed, logged an error, and tried again the next day. The web server would have remained untouched. systemd was doing its job, but something failed because of the interactions. Sometimes, too much automation and too many interconnected parts just create more spectacular ways for things to break. #SysAdmin #Linux #SystemD #Rant #KISS

Though this photo is already ten years old, it still carries the very same emotions I felt the moment I captured it. #MeerMittwoch #SeaWednesday #Photography #Photo #Sea image
