schestowitz-TR<techrights-news> Small rant: a lot of today's dictionaries are Web-connected even though storage got a lot smaller and cheaper. My Palm PDA still has a full dictionary, but a lot of today's dictionaries for computing devices are spyware. They make no attempt to keep the data locally. For weather forecast that's understandable, but dictionaries???May 26 08:29

schestowitz-TRdebian really should NOT break APIs, not for a STABLE releaseMay 26 19:16
schestowitz-TRthis is insaneMay 26 19:16
schestowitz-TRI also had to fix several other things, wlan asideMay 26 19:17

schestowitzWe have an error talking to the kernelMay 26 19:25
schestowitz-TRat first I assumed that it was due to wlan changing to eth May 26 19:28
schestowitz-TRbut soon I realised it was notMay 26 19:28
schestowitz-TRI searched some of these error messages, which seem common May 26 19:28
schestowitz-TRon rhel systems they have some workaroundsMay 26 19:28
schestowitz-TRbut really, in the long run, a small rewrite would give this longevityMay 26 19:28
schestowitz-TRit's hard to know how far we get through ipfs because of thr decentralised nature of iMay 26 19:28
schestowitz-TRbut it helps to put out there those objects with constrained network capacity May 26 19:28

schestowitz-TRafter the update and reboot (week later) I did notice that when booting it was throwing some kernel-relared errorsMay 26 19:32
schestowitz-TRthe hardware is OK, based on the clone system, which gets to wifi OKMay 26 19:32
schestowitz-TRso I blame system update and I think the kernel part in particulartMay 26 19:32
schestowitz-TRthere is no grub, so changing to another kernel isn't simpleMay 26 19:32
schestowitz-TRand using access to direct it to another kernel, which might not workMay 26 19:32
schestowitz-TRwould lock me outMay 26 19:32
schestowitz-TRunable to even boot to undo the changesMay 26 19:32
schestowitz-TRso it's riskier than just plugging in via eth0May 26 19:32
schestowitz-TRI already configures the router and some existing code to use this new device name and interfaceMay 26 19:32
schestowitz-TRand so I don't worry too muchMay 26 19:32
schestowitz-TRin fact, I assume futyure updates with new kernels might "fix" the wlanMay 26 19:32
schestowitz-TRnot that I would revert back to it at that pointMay 26 19:32
schestowitz-TRbut the tc issue has been a real pain because I turn ipfs on and offMay 26 19:33
schestowitz-TRjust not to be offline completly, esp. not when we add new objects to it (~3am)May 26 19:33
schestowitz-TROne thing I treuly love about the pi series is,May 26 19:53

Techrights-secyes that's a big advantageMay 26 19:54

Techrights-secstrange, was the USB plugged into one of the USB3 ports (blue) ?May 26 19:54

schestowitz-TRI've just checks, the stick is inserted into a black -coloured portMay 26 20:17
schestowitz-TRI did not know those colours had a meaningMay 26 20:17
schestowitz-TRI tried rfkillMay 26 20:52
schestowitz-TRI also checked the manpagesMay 26 20:52
schestowitz-TRbut it gets me nowhere and it's labeled legacy, deprecatedMay 26 20:52
schestowitz-TRI reckon I can buy more devices like this one in the future, butMay 26 20:52
schestowitz-TRthis last experience with the sytem update was a bummerMay 26 20:52
schestowitz-TRa lot worse than the outage itself (thankfully, no repetition of such May 26 20:52
