I forgot about the announcement that Signal had also become available on the Desktop, but it is via [WayBack] https://signal.org/download/:
- Mac
- Windows
- Debian based x64 Linux:
$ curl -s https://updates.signal.org/desktop/apt/keys.asc | sudo apt-key add -
$ echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://updates.signal.org/desktop/apt xenial main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/signal-xenial.list
$ sudo apt update && sudo apt install signal-desktop
I like the mix of echo and tee to update the [WayBack] /etc/apt/sources.list.d folder with the signal-xenial.list file.
These links will always give you the latest download filename:
The files you get there will be relative to the path https://updates.signal.org/desktop/ so will be similar to:
You can get the sources at https://github.com/WhisperSystems/Signal-Desktop/releases

One occasion I had SSH throw a Connection Reset by Peer on my when was the SD-card of a Raspberry Pi started failing and the ext4 filesystem got mounted in read-only mode.
Then sshd was still listening on port 22, but since it could not write to disk any more, it threw a Connection Reset by Peer to the client.
It was on OpenSuSE Tumbleweed, but would failed just as well using Raspbian.
Lessons learned:
- IoT hardware will fail.
ext4 breaks when the hardware breaks.

So we are all doomed: on debian, beep was an issue leading into a CVE. The fix is an issue too, and also has a CVE.

Many people use it that way. Which means I can put it on an old Raspberry Pi B+ revision 1.2 board (which Wikipedia indicates as the B 1+ in the Specifications table but as Raspberry Pi 1 Model B+ revision 1.2 in the schematics of connectors).
I might consider DietPi as distribution (which is Debian based) as it is even ligher.
See [WayBack] https://www.reddit.com/r/pihole/comments/6h39zr/is_a_raspberry_pi_1_good_enough_for_a_pihole/#divw0i5
One more note: I need to check out which Debian base name (which indicates the version) works best as there seemed to be a dnsmasq issue (not archived because discourse hatesdislikes the WayBack machine and Archive.is):
Like Apple, Android and Delphi, they use name based versions of which I always forget the order of. Luckily the source of the below table gets updated over time [2017 Archive.is, 2018 Archive.is] Debian releases and names – Electric Toolbox Debian releases are named after characters from Toy Story and are frequently referred to with the name rather than the version.:

Clonezilla is a nice partition cloning tool, but sometimes booting it just gives you this message on the screen:
overlayfs missing workdir
As it’s the first message during boot, searching for clonezilla “overlayfs missing workdir” returns no meaningful results towards the top of the list.
From what I could trace back from the search results is that somewhere before 2.4.x this started to happen in the “stable” branch.
There are actually two branches that in practice are stable on the http://clonezilla.org/downloads.php:
- alternative stable (which doesn’t have a version number but a YYYYMMDD date followed by
-yakketty)
- stable (which has a version number)
I think because of the naming, people usually start downloading the stable version. That doesn’t boot on most of the physical and virtual machines I’ve tried.
In my experience however, alternative stable doesn’t suffer from the overlay missing workdir issue on all the physical and virtual machines I’ve tried booting it with so far.
So I did some digging:
alternative stable is often referred to a alternative but it’s an Ubuntu-based branch running the same clonezilla software as the stable branchstable is the Debian-based branch.- Ubuntu is based on Debian but Ubuntu releases in a much faster pace than the release frequency of Debian Stable.
- Ubuntu has support for more recent hardware than Debian

Interesting as it has steps for both OpenSuSE and Debian each well suited for running on a Raspberry Pi.
[WayBack] MX Backup – Postfix Email Server | samhobbs.co.uk
It seems postfix is a lot easier to configure than sendmail so I already like it.
First I need to read a bit more in Postfix greylisting.
I’ll need to catch up on Sam’s other parts with the postfix tag as well:

A while ago I wrote about -bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_US.UTF-8) on fresh Raspbian on Raspberry
I thought my locale issues were solved and they sort of were. Until I had to logon locally and managed to get one or more of these characters in my password:
~ (tilde)@ (at)# (hash)\ (backslash)| (pipe)" (double-quote)
Then logon would fail locally but work via ssh. Go figure!
Lot’s of people outside the UK using their Raspberry Pi with keyboard and monitor will now say: you’ve the default GB keyboard layout and your keyboard is not GB.
Bingo!
This is how US keys look when using a GB keyboard layout:

Every time I logged onto a freshly installed Rasbian system (Debian Jessie), I had this message:

-bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_US.UTF-8)
-bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_US.UTF-8)
Asking for the locale settings would give this:
jeroenp@raspberrypi:~ $ locale

Searching for raspbian jessie “-bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_US.UTF-8)” I found fix locale issue #15 · scaleway/image-debian@543e9b4 [WayBack] that fixes Locale issue on Debian Jessie · Issue #15 · scaleway/image-debian · GitHub [WayBack]:
When logging into to a freshly booted debian jessie image:
-bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_US.UTF-8)
-bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_US.UTF-8)
Source: Locale issue on Debian Jessie · Issue #15 · scaleway/image-debian
I changed the crux of that solution to this one:
echo "en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8" >> /etc/locale.gen && locale-gen
When running, it showed this:
# echo "en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8" >> /etc/locale.gen && locale-gen
Generating locales (this might take a while)...
en_GB.UTF-8... done
en_US.UTF-8... done
Generation complete.
