I’m running KDE Plasma Version 5.27.8 on Fedora 38. It’s been very stable and Plasma crashes a lot less comparing to the old day when running Plasma 5.0 on (older) Kubuntu. Anyway, today, my Plasma’s taskbar froze and I needed to restarted. Instead of logging out and logging back in, I found a way to restart the Plasmashell. Here is the command which worked for me for this Plasma version:...
On Fedora 38, the version of NetworkMnager is 1.42.8, and the “default” setting for ipv6.add-gen-mode is default. The possible value for ipv6.add-gen-mode is eui64, stable-privacy, default-or-eui64, and default. This blog post is my attempt to understand a bit more about this IPv6 setting addr-gen-mode.

The settings for its network interfaces are stored in /etc/network/interfaces: root@pve:~# cat /etc/network/interfaces auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto vmbr0 iface vmbr0 inet static address 192....
Nginx is probably my favorite web server up to this moment, and it runs and serves websites on all of my servers. I should say, I also like Apache web server too, but not as much as Nginx. Today, I need to redirect from one url path to another. It took me a while to get it right, and I’d better write it down before it’s forgotten. This is what I want: https://demo....
I recently got IPv6 running at home, with most devices including my iPhone happily get an IPv6 assigned. My NAS running FreeBSD13.2 currently only has an IPv4 assigned, so I’m going to configure IPv6 for it too. I’m still new to IPv6. The way I have it setup on my router, running OPNsense, is to set the “Router Advertisements” to “Unmanaged” with DHCPv6 disabled. “Unmanaged” for SLAAC (A flag), and SLAAC stands for Stateless Address Autoconfiguration....
