  • I tried Google Authenticator, Bitwarden, Duo Authenticator, and Microsoft Authenticator. I also tried on mobile (Android) and on desktop.

    In all cases the authenticator was giving me a 6 digit code, but the code was not valid. If I used the same secret on multiple authenticators they all gave me the same TOTP codes, which is expected, but the codes wouldn’t work. So even though multiple authenticators are displaying the same TOTP code, the code the site is expecting doesn’t match. Meaning the site is not using the secret it generated properly.



  • I had the fire suppression system go off while I was in the datacenter once. Scariest thing knowing all the oxygen is being pushed out of the room by the heavier gas.

    I’ve never moved so quick to the exit as I did then. Took 2 breaths along the way, was extremely light headed for about 5 minutes afterwards.

    It went off because HVAC guys were using an angle grinder to cut some ducting only feet away from the intake vent. All the smoke got pulled in and set off the fire alarm.

    This.

    I just went from Arch to Debian 12 Bookworm. Running the stable branch, but so far most of the packages are rather recent. Kernel is 6.1 instead of 6.4, but I could switch to the Testing or Unstable branch to get the “bleeding edge” packages/kernels if I need to. But honestly so far it’s been a real pleasure to use. Everything is just working and is stable.
