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:secp384r1to:
SSLOpenSSLConfCmd Curves X25519MLKEM768:X25519:prime256v1:secp384r1and 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

@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?

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.

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

Testing AlmaLinux on a Lenovo MIIX 520 to see if the touch screen is working.
And it works perfectly fine.

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
