28 October 2022, 14:49 UTCOpenSSL - silent all these years...

Were you enjoying the OpenSSL relatively quiet reprieve since Heartbleed?
https://isc.sans.edu/forums/diary/Upcoming+Critical+OpenSSL+Vulnerability+What+will+be+Affected/29192
Probably time to clear your schedule on Monday and Tuesday (or heck just clear the weekend) 10/29/2022 - 11/1/2022
The OpenSSL 3.0.x versions should be updated/patched - OpenSSL 1.1.1 need not apply
Happy fall patching season to you all!

26 October 2022, 20:52 UTCSlow queries after importing an older MySQL dump to MariaDB?

The problem might be a big table (many rows) but 0 Cardinality...

use dbname;
show index in tablename;

| Table... | Cardinality |
| tablename|           0 | 

Fix the table(s):
use dbname;
ANALYZE TABLE tablename;

Alteratively:
mysqlcheck -a dbname

show index in tablename;
| Table... | Cardinality |
| tablename|       12345 |

Mistakes were made...

Subject: SendGrid Incident - Mail Processing Delays - 3 October 2022

MAIL PROCESSING DELAYS

Incident status: Monitoring
Our engineers identified the problem and implemented a mitigation, but unfortunately, some of the delayed emails were lost during the process and could not be resent. Customers affected may
notice that emails expected to be sent were processed or deferred but no further information about the status of the emails will be available.

In the cloud.
It will rain down on others. And they won't appreciate it.

26 September 2022, 22:02 UTCssh rsa got you down? (Unable to negotiate with X.y.Z.1 port 22: no matching host key type found. Their offer: ssh-rsa,ssh-dss) - i.e. sorry I can't do that Dave?

Chuck this in your ~/.ssh/config :

Host X.y.Z.1
    User da-user
    PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms +ssh-rsa
    HostkeyAlgorithms +ssh-rsa

31 August 2022, 21:34 UTCCan't connect using mysqlsh as the mysql root user?

Did you want to run the update checker and get stopped dead?

mysqlsh --mysql -u root -h localhost -P 3306 --database=somedatabase

MySQL Error 1698 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost'

If your root user is using an auth type other than "mysql_native_password",
You might have better luck adding a user with the correct PRIV and auth user type.

Hint: If you use Debian / Ubuntu, you can use the debian-sys-maint user
Search for debian-sys-maint for info on where to find the password for that user / reset it.

Plow ahead with:
util.checkForServerUpgrade();

9 August 2022, 20:53 UTCEmail - magic of the elders?

Quite a few 2fa systems using email out there these days.
Too bad the ticket system requires a successful login to create a ticket
in order to let them know their 2fa email delivery is not working.
It is a sad state of affairs when running an MTA confounds a company.
At least there is comfort in knowing the status page can deliver the "we know it is frustrating but we are working on it" message.

When you feel the need to simulate a shared dialup connection,
there is always Xfinity to the rescue.

13 April 2022, 19:54 UTCDNS CNAME record conflicts with other types

If you have a CNAME for a subdomain, this will block the other records for that same subdomain.

 E.G.

 subdomain.domain.tld TXT blaaaaaaablaaaaaaaaaaa
 subdomain.domain.dlt CNAME some.domain.other


A query for the TXT record will only return the CNAME as it short circuits the lookup - just like at the case for a bare domain CNAME record.

Reference:  https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1034

If a CNAME RR is present at a node, no other data should be
present; this ensures that the data for a canonical name and its aliases
cannot be different.  This rule also insures that a cached CNAME can be
used without checking with an authoritative server for other RR types.

But as always, in the case of "should" in an RFC, you might find odd behavior based on your implementation, but it would probably
be better if the semantics of handing off the queries to the alias domain remain intact.

6 December 2021, 15:46 UTCDo you git it?

Spot for my dabbling in yet another version system (damn I am getting old)



Where is this crap checked in?
git remote -v

origin user@somehost:projdir/projname.git (fetch)
origin user@somehost:projdir/projname.git (push)
