Something is preventing shutdown... in c/linux@lemmy.ml

When it happens, try pressing Alt + SysRq(/PrtSc) + o. If that turns off your computer, then the kernel is still running and something is preventing shutdown; if it doesn't, either SysRq is disabled, or ACPI is broken.

    My Mikrotik routers and switches also reboot in seconds (even for upgrades), which I've never seen consumer gear do!

    Even my Ubiquiti switches seem to take a minute or so to start forwarding traffic after a reboot; whilst my Mikrotik switches reboot faster than any of my unmanaged switches start up.

    Maybe look into using the pstore, it can store kernel panics in ACPI or UEFI variables to be read by the next boot. Usually this is accessible at /sys/fs/pstore, but if systemd-pstore is installed then it should be in the journal, but it can also be here: /var/lib/systemd/pstore.

    Cloudflare usually blocks 'unknown' bots, which are basically bots that aren't search crawlers. Also I've got Cloudflare setup to challenge requests for .zip, .tar.gz, or .bundle files, so that it doesn't affect anyone unless they download from their browser.

    There's also probably a way to configure something similar in Anubis, if you don't like a middleman snooping your requests.

    It shouldn't be because you're not actually the owner of the IP address. If any user could get a cert, they could impersonate any other.

    They're 'shortlived' 7 day certs, verified using a HTTP challenge. It doesn't matter who owns the IP, it's just a matter of who holds the IP.

    FOSS App Idea: A browser with Wireguard built in (programming.dev)
     

    I was basically thinking of a simple browser app for Android that automatically makes its requests over a Wireguard tunnel.

    I don't publicly expose a lot of my self hosted services, most are only available over a Wireguard VPN. I don't think my family could work that out, and I also don't usually keep it enabled all the time on my phone.

    It doesn't have to be a fully featured browser, I'm fine for it to be the built in Android WebView or something, and just have a configurable menu of pages that can be easily visited.

    I have some Android app experience from Uni, so I could maybe help out somewhat, but I feel I'm going to be in way over my head to do this alone. I'm happy to donate a little anyway.

    KDE: Fix to weird theming in flatpaks (programming.dev)
     

    This is more of a public note to self, but if anyone else had screwed up fonts, default cursors, and missing minimise/maximise buttons in flatpaks on KDE Wayland, put this in your /usr/share/xdg-desktop-portal/kde-portals.conf:

    [preferred]
default=kde;gtk;
org.freedesktop.impl.portal.Settings=kde;gtk;

    Then restart xdg-desktop-portal.

    Source: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=474746#c12

    Apparently this will be fixed in 5.27.9 releasing on the 24th anyway, but I've tried so many different 'solutions' and this had been annoying me for weeks.

    Anglican Church sacked Headmaster over compensation to child sexual abuse victims (archive.md)
    submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by to c/brisbane@aussie.zone

    I'm not usually one to share links, but my old school's Headmaster (Dr Paul Browning at St Paul's School) is in a little bit of trouble with the Anglican church for compensating child sexual abuse victims from incidents in the 80s/90s. As he started in 2008, those victims technically weren't his problem but he refunded their tuition fees anyway because it's the right thing to do. However the Anglican church doesn't see it that way and sacked him.

    I graduated in 2021, but he was truly an amazing person, somehow remembers everyone's names, greeting them whenever and while I never had him as a teacher, I've heard he was really an amazing & energetic teacher when in the classroom. I was even at the school earlier this year and was asking how I was doing with uni and stuff. I genuinely believe he doesn't deserve this.

    Please share this as much as you can, there is a change.org petition, but I feel raising awareness and maybe writing to Bishop Greaves and the Anglican Schools Commission are probably the best ways that you can help!

    Thanks for Reading!
