Experience with 10Gb ethernet adapters?
by Thomas Cameron
Howdy, all -
I use an NFS server export to mount my /home directory on my desktop.
I've got the itch to go to 10Gb ethernet, but I am reading that the
tp-link tx401 has a problem with bridging, and I use bridging for KVM
virtual machines on my desktop. I *think* that you can just disable
using the command "ethtool -K <ethX> lro off," but I wondered if anyone
had any experience with NICs that work with bridging out of the box.
Anyone got any experience with 10Gb ethernet cards? Good? Bad? Hassles?

Firefox - detection of exiting tabs with URLs
by lejeczek
Hi guys.
With f38 I think my Firefox is unable to detect or is
ignoring tabs which are already opened in other windows with
certain URL, when I open a new tab and want to go to a
website/URL.
I think Firefox would then say, would offer something like
"switch to tab".
Do you see it it too?
I did not change any settings, configuration in Firefox so I
wonder it's just me.
many thanks, L.

huge weekly "dnf upgrade" and clean-up failure.
by home user
(f37)
This afternoon, I did my weekly "dnf upgrade". This typically involves between 100 and 200 packages. Today, it was over 700 packages, by far a record for me in the 10+ years I've had this Fedora workstation. More concerning, there was a huge number of remove failures during the clean-up stage. After rebooting, the display on one monitor acted like it was cycling rapidly between 4? monitors. A second reboot has everything behaving (so far!).
The log files generated by today's weekly patching are:
ls -lrt dnf*
------
[... snip ...]
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 89921 May 11 14:34 dnf.log.1
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1048552 May 11 14:34 dnf.log.2
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 951565 May 11 14:36 dnf.librepo.log
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 779105 May 11 14:36 dnf.rpm.log
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 3580 May 11 14:36 dnf.log
------
I did some grepping:
grep -i "remove failed" dnf.log.1 dnf.log.2 dnf.librepo.log dnf.rpm.log dnf.log > ~/remfailures.txt
The resulting file has 3174 lines, each a hit from dnf.rpm.log. So it seems that the clean-up phase of today's patching failed to delete 3174 files. I don't know how to determine which package's clean-up resulted in which file remove failures.
Here are two typical remove failed lines from the grep above:
------
dnf.rpm.log:2023-05-11T14:29:17-0600 INFO warning: file 6bbb75df83a748c56bbccd653c2c839ef20ae8: remove failed: No such file or directory
dnf.rpm.log:warning: file c61b67d685556a2901acf90236f5f8a65406b1: remove failed: No such file or directory
------
Why is there such a big clean-up problem?
Is this a real problem or something that I really can safely ignore?
Why was this weekly package so huge - I'd say more than 4 times what's typical?
Thank-you in advance for your help.

Emacs error in F38
by Ranjan Maitra
Hi,
Ever since upgrading to F38, I have been getting emacs crashes (Segmentation faults) quite frequently, but not always. Specifically, I get the following message on the screen when emacs crashes.
Any ideas as to what the remedy is? The version I have is:
emacs-1:28.2-4.fc38.x86_64
Many thanks and best wishes,
Ranjan
Here is the error I get:

Keeping ssh sessions alive
by Sam Varshavchik
I switched wifi routers. The new model, a Linksys WRT3200ACM kills my idle
SSH sessions.
I have /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/01-local.conf that has a "ClientAliveInterval"
setting.
With my previous router setting ClientAliveInterval to 60 seconds was enough
to keep it from killing my idle SSH sessions.
But this little bastard keeps killing my ssh sessions even with a 30 second
ClientAliveInterval timeout. Yet, after an artificial sleep(30) the ssh
session is still alive.
I used tcpdump to confirm that there's activity going on at 30 second
intervals when the session is idle. This must mean that this little bastard
detects clientalive ssh packets, for the purposes of timing out connections.
Very rude.
Anyone have any tips for defeating this rudeness, short of a brute force
approach.

DMARC and SPF and DKIM, oh, my!
by Thomas Cameron
All -
I've tested my DMARC, DKIM, and SPF records against multiple test sites,
and it's set up correctly. I've sent email from my server to GMail, read
the headers, and all tests pass.
The problem is, as far as I can tell, EVERY server that sends mail to
mailing lists causes me to get a barrage of warnings from receivers'
email servers saying that, since the email came from the list server,
the message failed because it's not from MY email server. It's maddening.
What do folks who manage email servers do about this? I'm seriously
starting to think that using these tools introduce darned near as many
problems as they "solve." Talk me off the ledge?
I am working through maybe tuning my settings, using the DMARCLY wizard.
I see that I am probably setting some things too strict, especially
around DMARC, but... Dang, this is frustrating.

whence USB 2?
by Michael Hennebry
As I cannot use my chromebook, grrrr, I've been looking for a lpatop.
It seems that nothing connects to USB 2.
They might have 3 to 17 USB C connectors,
but I have abolutely nothing that can use those.
I get it.
USB 4 is the latest and greatest and only uses C connectors.
Why no connectors for USB 2 at all?
BTW it can be a pain discovering what kind of connections a laptop has.
Usually an ad will mention HDMI and how great the internals are,
but not what kind of USB connections or whether it will take an SD card.
