Some notes (mainly links) on the Oracle Cloud Free Tier as at the time of writing it is the only provider with a “free forever” tier.
In the past for FOSS, there was [Wayback/Archive] Fosshost on Twitter: “@d_feldman Check out fosshost.org for an alternative to Oracle Cloud for ARM/AArch64. We are free, open source and you will never get bill shock. Open source projects must apply only.”, but at the end of 2022 they started to wind down their services as per [Wayback/Archive] Fosshost to Sunset Tenant Services
Fosshost to Sunset Tenant Services
At this time, Fosshost is deeply sorry to announce we are no longer able to continue offering our services.
Because of this, we strongly recommend all Fosshost tenants to backup their data immediately, and migrate elsewhere as soon as possible.
Oh before you begin: if you need a reverse DNS record then be sure to request that as soon as your free tier starts: at that time you have USD 300 credits for running paid services which includes the support to request reverse DNS records.
Anyway, many links on the Oracle OCI Cloud Free Tier (especially the ARM deal is great: lots of RAM as compared to the x86 VMs):

In the past, I used to modify /etc/sysconfig/named and add entries to the NAMED_CONF_INCLUDE_FILES setting, then run /usr/share/bind/createNamedConfInclude
to generate /etc/named.conf.include.
As of OpenSuSE 15.4, /usr/share/bind/createNamedConfInclude has become an empty file and NAMED_CONF_INCLUDE_FILES got removed and NAMED_INITIALIZE_SCRIPTS introduced.
So now I changed my playbooks to manually generate /etc/named.conf.include and include it form /etc/sysconfig/named.
Since I hardly perform these new installations, it took a few years for me to find out about this change. Upgrading existing systems somehow kept the generated file and included it.
Related links with quotes as it was hard to find out what changed and how to work around and I wasn’t the only one bump into issues:

Sometimes the best information is outside vendor forums. I think it is the case for this Reddit thread: [Wayback/Archive] Regarding updating Tumbleweed; what is the best way to do it? Appper, zypper dup, zypper up. Which one am i supposed to use? Should i be worried about the vendor changes? And why do i get a message when using ‘zypper up’ saying “The following 35 package updates will NOT be installed”? : openSUSE
Note that specific to openSuSE Tumbleweed you should prefer zypper distr-upgrade over zypper update as per [Wayback/Archive] TUMBLEWEED zypper dup default behavior changed: what is the difference to zypper up?
Be aware this thread is about Tumbleweed, the method to update is byusing dup since it’s a new snapshot. At this point it’s your choice toupdate or not depending on your requirements. If your running out ofkernel modules supplied by third parties, then your tied to theirschedule…. Using zypper up will in the long term create more issuesas well as not supported.
This is especially true as --no-allow-vendor-change has been the default for zypper dist-upgrade for almost a decade now: [Wayback/Archive] PSA: Tumbleweed: –no-allow-vendor-change now default zypper dup behaviour : openSUSE

It was about 2 years ago that Jilles reminded me I had a flight case with gadgets too.
Back when I assembled it in 2018, I had big plans for showing private “cloud” container experimentation and gadget stuff at conferences. Then 2019 kicked in with rectum cancer.
So it was good that he helped me motivating to get it working again, especially as the time around assembling it so much fun and working on it brought back those days.
Here are the pictures:

For my link archive some ISO links via [Wayback/Archive] openSUSE Leap 15.5 – Get openSUSE as I am steadily working my way back into IT and Software Development so I was anxious to see what has changed on this front. In the past I usually ran OpenSuSE Tumbleweed, but now I am going for OpenSuSE Leap versions that are stable for a longer period of time as per [Wayback/Archive] Lifetime – openSUSE Wiki
Leap Major Release (15.x) extends maintenance and support until a successor. At present, a successor has not been declared; Leap 15’s lifecycle fully aligns with SUSE Linux Enterprise. There is a projection as of March 2021 that Leap 15 will extend to Leap 15.5. The previous major version of Leap, 42, was supported for more than 36 months, while the current major version of Leap, 15, would then have up to 72 months of support (12×6).

[Wayback] How do I restart sshd on my Unix system | StarNet Knowledge Database – PC X, X Windows, X 11 & More – StarNet
RedHat and Fedora Core Linux
/sbin/service sshd restart
Suse linux
/etc/rc.d/sshd restart
Debian/Ubuntu
/etc/init.d/sshd restart
Solaris 9 and below
/etc/init.d/sshd stop
/etc/init.d/sshd start
Solaris 10
svcadm disable ssh
svcadm enable ssh
AIX
stopsrc -s sshd
startsrc -s sshd
HP-UX
/sbin/init.d/secsh stop
/sbin/init.d/secsh start
Note that for opensuse, by now you need this to restart sshd:
/usr/sbin/rcsshd restart

Mid 2020, I re-installed a Raspberry Pi 2 box based on OpenSuSE Tumbleweed.
To my susprise the yast2 module sudo could not write the configuration.
It appeared that /etc/sudoers had become readonly and a new /etc/sudoers.d was created.
You can use visudo to edit files in that directory without potentially losing changes in /etc/sudoers during upgrades. I think that is a good move.
To bad the yast module failed because of it.
More on visudo and the /etc/sudoers.d directory:
