WordPress 5.4
Debian packages for WordPress version 5.4 will be uploaded shortly. I’m just going through the install testing now. One problem I have noticed is, at least for my setup, there is an issue with network updates. The problem is that WordPress will ask me if I want to update the network sites, I say yes…

Another ActivityPub quirk
I’m wondering now if the problem with the activitypub is because the user object was already in the remote site and somehow the two were not being linked up properly. Removing the user information off the mastodn instance may help, or not.

wordpress 4.9.7
No sooner than I had patched WordPress 4.9.5 to fix the arbitrary unlink bug than I realised there is a WordPress 4.9.7 out there. This release (just out for Debian, if my Internet behaves) fixes the unlink bug found by RIPS Technologies. However, the WordPress developers used a different method to fix it. There will…

Back Online
I now have Internet back! Which means I can try to get the Debian WordPress packages bashed into shape. Unfortunately they still have the problem with the json horrible “no evil” license which causes so many problems all over the place. I’m hoping there is a simple way of just removing that component and going…

Renaming RoseNMS
Today I have pushed all (or hopefully all) the required differences in the source files to change the name of the project. Originally it was called Rosenberg NMS, named after a lizard or heath monitor that lives in this parts. The name was cute but cumbersome. I’ve cut it down now to just RoseNMS with…

How not to get Galaxy Tab into Safe Mode
For weeks my Galaxy Tab 10.1 has reasonably consistently gone into safe mode. Not booting into it but I’d use it fine then put it away and next time I looked at it, Safe Mode was there. It wasn’t every time, but averaged to be about every second time. So the first thing was a…

Rnms now using TurboGears 2.3.2
While the website might of been idle there has been a great deal of work behind the scenes (unless you’re looking at github) updating and improving RoseNMS, the python based Network Management System. The code has had a great many changes including: Updating the TurboGears based code to 2.3.2 Simplifying the admin back to TG…

WordPress 3.9.1
The Debian package of WordPress version 3.9.1 was uploaded to the ftp master recently. While the update was pretty simple, the upload took a lot more doing. I’m not sure why the Debian ftp-master server didn’t like me, but it was so slow. Strangely, even dcut uploads were slow and they are only a few…

A python utf gotcha
This one had me stumped for a while: # -*- coding: utf-7 -*- import datetime from sqlalchemy import ForeignKey, Column from sqlalchemy.types import Integer, Unicode, Boolean, DateTime default_due_date = datetime.datetime.now() + datetime.timedelta(days=30) Syntax error found on last line. Hmm, bring up a python interpreter and type the last line in with the imports. Works fine.…

mutt ate my i key
I did a large upgrade tonight and noticed there was a mutt upgrade, no biggie really….Except my I have for years (incorrectly?) used the “i” key when reading a specific email to jump back to the list of emails, or from index to pager in mutt speak. Instead of my pager of mails, I got…
