06:37 <@Dolemite> mr0ning, be0tches and h0ez!
06:37 <@Dolemite> aestetix: Did you see where the Key Bridge in Baltimore collapsed overnight when a cargo ship ran into it?
06:38 < aestetix> Yes, that was horrible
10:21 <@Mirage> OK, I pretty much give up on getting CentOS 9 to setup an AP.  I can't get it to even bring the damn thing up and assign an IP to it at boot thanks to the BS changes with NetworkManager.  I can only find NetworkManager client info on connecting to WPA-EAP, not hosting it...and I can't get NetworkManager to let hostapd use and handle it.
10:24 < Evilpig> networkmanager is a giant pita
10:24 < Evilpig> I was fighting a machine the other day that wouldn't use the config files.  it kept creating them under /run/  it was a nightmare
10:25 <@Mirage> Centos 8 stream is EOL soon, so that's pointless for this appliance that will likely be hanging around a while, so gonna give OEL8 a shot
10:25 < Evilpig> centos9 is just trash in general.  if you want EL go rhel or alma
10:49 <@Dagmar> Mainly you just run hostapd as a boringly normal service and tell the rest of the OS to ignore that interface.  This is not hard.
10:50 <@Dagmar> ..and why someone would even have both /run and /var/run I've no idea
10:52 <@Dagmar> Typically, /var/run is just going to be a symlink to /run
10:58 <@Mirage> Dagmar: Yes, on CentOS6 it just worked, on CentOS9 NetworkManager was being a PoS and there's no fallback to using normal "ifcfg-rh" style config files..

11:00 <@Mirage> I need to figure out 2 things on this damn work laptop thanks to recent updates: 1.  How to make links in Outlook actually use my default browser (Chrome) vs using Edge, 2. How to make the stupid as fuck Outlook sidepanel in Edge go away and stay away
11:02 <@Dagmar> lol good luck
11:04 <@Dagmar> ...and you literally do not need to do anything with NetworkManager to make hostapd happen
11:04 <@Dagmar> You just set a static IP on the interface and that's pretty much it
11:04 <@Dagmar> ...but networkmanager _can_ do that.
11:08 < Evilpig> Mirage: you are stuck with that new behavior in outlook.  that's been a running complaint here since they introduced "new" outlook
11:08 < Evilpig> I think I even saw a few tech writeups on how m$ pissed a bunch of folks off with hardcoding that

11:31 < Evilpig> it didn't fire on the push, but it did work manually run
11:34 < Evilpig> there we go
11:39 <@Mirage> Dagmar: NetworkManager absolutely refuse on the wifi interface to set a static IP on it and bring it up at boot.  I was only able to get it to enable at boot by setting SSID and stuff via NetworkManager, but it still refused to set an IP on it
11:39 < Evilpig> damnit.  I thought I was over on the other channel. :-/
