  1. looks like you can enable post quantum cryptography in apache on @almalinux 9 and up with one simple config change1

    with the ssl config generated by mozilla's tool2 change the line:

    SSLOpenSSLConfCmd       Curves X25519:prime256v1:secp384r1

    to:

    SSLOpenSSLConfCmd       Curves X25519MLKEM768:X25519:prime256v1:secp384r1

    and restart the httpd service with sudo systemctl restart httpd, that's it! (a reload may work as well and you wouldn't have any service downtime, but i'm not certain, i would have to test it)

    AlmaLinux 9 ships with OpenSSL 3.5.1 by default3 , so you should be all set for PQC

  2. @almalinux got to finally build #Emacs v30.2 for #AlmaLinux9 rather than removing broken feature by feature from config for v27.2 (released five years ago this month). Too used to #TreeSitter and #LSP for a functional editor nowadays. Would it be #ELRepo or #epel if you want it shared?

  3. Interesting.

    Collabora CODE server won't install on Alma Linux 9 ... beeecauuuse their Repo gpg key is using a SHA1 hash and Alma 9 says Nuh-Uh.

    *Blink *Blink

    Now I can set the policy to use SHA1 if I want to, aaaand I don't really want to.

    THey're going to make me run this in a docker, aren't they.

  4. Moving into the future is not without hurdles with 10 years of #TechnicalDebt. A couple of shiny new #AlmaLinux9 installations at a time is a much anticipated goal going from #CentOS7, but old apps, headaches and firefighting since last Wednesday's #ServiceWindow, whilst certainly keeping you on your toes have their towes on you as well, racing past deadlines and other obligations like wind in a tube #PainfullyExhausted

  5. when you upgrade from AlmaLinux 8 to AlmaLinux 9 the crb repo is not automatically enabled, and if you have nss_db or libtirpc-devel installed you will have problems when running dnf update

    this command will be useful: sudo config-manager --set-enabled crb

  6. #AlmaLinux9.2 Released As Free Alternative To #RedHat Enterprise #Linux 9.2
    The #AlmaLinux crew managed to deliver this release just hours after Red Hat reached general availability on #RHEL9.2 and #RHEL 8.8.
