I noticed that signing in to Mastodon using 2FA didn't reliably work. Turns out my system clock was ~30 seconds behind that of the actual time (currently GMT +1 for me).

On Linux distributions that have systemd, systemd apparently synchronises your system time with a time server automatically. However, I use Devuan (i.e. Debian but without systemd) so I had to do it manually.

I used htpdate to set the time to a UK time server on pool.ntp.org like this:

sudo htpdate uk.pool.ntp.org

No need to reboot. It's now accurate to GMT+1 to within about half a second. :)

Liebes #Fediverse und vor allem liebe #mastoadmin Gruppe. Wie ist euer aktueller Stand zu #SideKiq und deren Worker und Queues. Früher hatte man die ja auf ggf. mehrere laufende #SystemD Units aufgeteilt, ich meine aber das dies nicht mehr aktuell ist und keinen Vorteil bringen sollte. Aktuell sieht es bei uns halt wie folgt aus und ich frage, mich warum ich ihn nicht dazu bekomme mehr zu machen. DB_POOL:140 worker: 128 queues: default, 20 push, 9 ingress, 30 mailers, 3 #anoxinon Tipps?

Sounds like we are going to have an influx of new #BSD users. Shame the DE makers pinned to #SystemD as it has made it hard to move things along to give these new users a comparable experience #systemshit

I notice the hashtag for #systemd seems a lot less angry now than it was, say, two months ago. Has all that about age verification blown over?

I have not talked enough about my favorite (relatively new) #systemd feature.

systemctl soft-reboot

this is such a great feature. I work with thin clients that loose their state after rebooting and with a soft-reboot I don't loose any installed packages.

Also great if you use LUKS you won't have to enter your password again with a soft-reboot.

Note to self: Run "sync" before "systemctl reboot"... Something just got killed and I have no idea what. Just hope it wasn't anything LVM cache and/or BTRFS related even though nothing else that accessed the volume was (supposed to be) running anymore. #LVM #Btrfs #systemd #linux

I just managed to create a pipeline and a client for storing DDIs inside of an OCI registry! Now you can do things similar to Universal Blue but with systemd-sysupdate instead and all the benefits that come from it! I'll publish more things and maybe a blog post about how to use it later! Note: This is heavily WIP, but it seems to be working! https://github.com/tulilirockz/pompona #systemd #bootc #oci #zirconium #linux #foss #sysupdate

Tired of process-level tools missing resource hogs? systemd-cgtop reads cgroup v2 stats from /sys/fs/cgroup/ for per-unit CPU, memory, and I/O. No guessing, just accurate accounting. Essential for production on Ubuntu 22.04, Debian 12, RHEL 9, Fedora 38. #linux #systemd #cgroup https://www.valtersit.com/vault/monitor-systemd-service-resource-usage-with-systemdcgtop-87fd4f/
