@geerlingguy It's does male a certain amount of sense. Generally a wired connection is going to be more reliable, and routing over multiple connections of any type is not a trivial problem to solve. So why not prefer wired if available?

TIL that Windows is set to not connect to WiFi if there's an active Ethernet connection. That seems dumb as a default.

@froodie Also happened to me. I was recovering before I finally tested positive. A bit tired for a day or two after, but thankfully it was fairly mild. Similar situation for other family and friends.

@mneylon A lot. It's been there for ages, and with cruise control set to 120kph, there's a constant stream of overtaking cars!

It’ll be interesting to see how many people they catch with this

@MarkDennehy @Ciaraioch You'd be lucky to get a derelict cottage for that these days!

@geerlingguy Did a quick check, and Cloudflare can be setup to do automatic rewrites: developers.cloudflare.com/ssl/edge-certi… Check what you're serving from your host versus what being served from Cloudflare.

@ndonegan Yikes! I wonder if nginx is doing something weird with cache. I'll check

My RSS feed is showing with each item appearing once (if I `curl jeffgeerling.com/blog.xml`), but many people are reporting my articles appear twice in their feed readers after I switched over to Cloudflare. What could be causing that? Feedly doesn't seem to have an issue.

@geerlingguy I just had a look at a copy on archive.org from earlier in the month, and you had http:// rather than https:// in the RSS feed. See web.archive.org/web/2022021000… as an example.

@ndonegan No, I've been strictly www. and https:// for years now — always had redirects for both

@TheSamBaldwin @noIPv6 Are you on a residential or business connection? If residential I'd be wondering if it's a way to upsell to business. After all, why would residential be hosting something that requires a static allocation...

@noIPv6 BT have been assigning IPv6 to customers for around 7 years now. Good, right? Except it's a DYNAMIC ALLOCATION. Every time my PPPoE link goes down, it changes. For the love of God, WHY? Is this common?

@ultrahax What's with you and cardboard houses? Are you keeping up a tradition started in Elm Park?

@TechJonathan @lileeny What about reacting to the reaction to the reaction?? How deep should it go?

@dwmal1 @noIPv6 @b0rk This has come to my rescue so many times. Usually self inflicted while updating firewalls!

@b0rk I've had a few instances where either IPv4 or IPv6 connectivity failed, but not both, and I was able to use the other to get to servers that needed attention. Over the years, I've seen a few problems blamed on IPv6, but in practice few (if any?) turned out to be IPv6.

@cody_bunch @geerlingguy Easily sorted!!! aerostich.com/electrical-smo… Surprised Red Shirt Jeff doesn't have one already!

@geerlingguy @ndonegan Tho, you have to be careful not to let the magic smoke out:

I believe I'm having too much fun, need to end the day here. _On today's episode of 'Will it RAID?'_

@Ciaraioch That happens only at one stage?

@mneylon @kenguest @omegavesko @PaloAltoNtwks docs.paloaltonetworks.com/pan-os/9-0/pan…

@mneylon @kenguest @omegavesko @PaloAltoNtwks It's a config option on Palo Alto Firewalls. You can tell them to drop connection attempts to any domain under a certain age, because they have to be evil. No idea how they implement it in the backend.

A typical website visit in 2022 1. Figure out how to decline all but essential cookies 2. Close the support widget asking if I need help 3. Stop the auto-playing video 4. Close the “subscribe to our newsletter” pop-up 5. Try and remember why I came here in the first place

@CraftComputing I'm one of those primarily Linux users you mention, but I bought a PC from @ScanProAudio for audio work, which had been really nicely setup. I took this as a good example of current Windows, so tried a new Asus laptop running Windows 10 as a daily driver.. It's now running Linux!

GET SOME!

@carlwgeorge @mattias_jcb @geerlingguy @AlmaLinux As an aside, perhaps the Centos Community should look at the Wikipedia page for Centos! It reads as if Centos really is no more, with no mention of Stream other than a single line referencing a rolling release variant.

@carlwgeorge @mattias_jcb @geerlingguy @AlmaLinux The perception is that it's being positioned as a development distro for previews of Red Hat rather than for Production. From an outside perspective, that reads as unstable. You may define that as FUD, and you do have a point, but it's self inflicted.

And @AlmaLinux is another worthy option, but regardless, it is the end of an era. I've already moved all CI testing from centos8 to rockylinux8, and any of my servers that were CentOS 7 are now Debian 10/11. Sad, but bittersweet. #CentOS #RedHat
