That has been a src of confusion here with my mixed hdwe network. ntpsec 
work's fine as a 2nd level src running on this I5 machine, so I've only 
2 machines out of 8 banging on debians ntp pool. but on the armbian 
stuff only chrony seems to work correctly.

I also have a couple radio clocks that self set in the wee hours when 
skip from WWWV in Boulder CO is best, they indicate good signals, but 
are off an hour, like the timezone files are duff. However, when I went 
to check them at 04:30 AM, just now, everything is in sync again.   All 
of this ntp stuff is both client and server so I do have some strange 
addresses being logged as clients at times  Seems to be transient. I 
don't mind it as long as they only want the time.

+1000, They could start by using a consistent name for nm from release 
to release. When it doesn't work after a reboot, what name do we type to 
run it? Its usually 10 - 20 minutes of command not found. You wind up 
doing ls's or searches with mc to find likely suspects. I always install 
mc to assure I have something that actually works before doing the 
initial reboot.

One does get tired and short tempered when a copy/paste error post 
bullseye that wrecks udev is said to not be fixed before trixie. Thats 
not excusable when the fix is a one line patch we've all done years ago. 
Get it from a pinned post on discord/klipper for 3d printers forum. 
Restores the missing /dev/serial/by-id entries.

Take care of #1 Max.

Gene, you are quite successful in moving focus to some unrelated topic. 
In that thread, besides NTP issues, you were struggling with network 
configuration. I was not going to cite your message another time, but 
since you jumped in, could you, please, explain:

1. Why instead of calling to support of the vendor manufactured that 3d 
printer you were asking for help on debian-user?

2. Why instead of inspecting what crap (likely unrelated to even 
armbian) was stuffed into that device by the vendor you started to blame 
NetworkManager?

Some post may be pinned in various forums specific to some devices or 
applications, but has the issue been reported to Debian? Is there a 
Debian bug number?

Its been reported and I was informed during bullseye that it would not 
be fixed before trixie. That patch is out there, with a gpl license but 
by now has probably fallen thru the cracks.  Two whole releases with 90% 
of the 3d printers disabled because of a one line copy/paste error makes 
zero sense to me. Test by "ls /dev/serial/by-id/* If there is no by-id 
the patch is still needed. Everybody I've looked at but debian fixed it 
immediately. As for bug number, I'm not the OP, just a canary.

Cheers, Gene Heskett, CET.

Then ask the author to add the bug number. Tell them that without a link 
you were not be able to check current state of affairs and, as a result, 
you have secured your reputation as a liar.

So be it Max, nothing I can do. This list doesn't want to accept that I 
am truthful when reporting a problem. Shrug...

Gene, are you realizing that instead of reporting a problem, you are 
actually just spreading some rumors and attacking Debian developers? Be 
responsible, if you are expecting warm reaction.

Reread that topic related to klipper. If there is no link to a Debian 
bug then either use a search engine to find it yourself or ask the 
clipper community if somebody has contacted Debian developers. Finally 
request to update the topic with the outcome.

The reaction I got for mentioning it, now years ago, convinced me that I 
most obviously shouldn't have mentioned it. The reception I got at the 
time could only be called hostile.  I did use reportbug at the time and 
I assume I was emailed a bug number, which I've obviously lost in all 
the installs I was forced to do because once I had shut orca up, the 
machine would not reboot, stuck very early in the boot process waiting 
for orca to come alive.  Forever, so reboots were reinstalls.  I finally 
figured out how to shut orca off and reboot. But opening a local file I 
own is still subject to a 30+ second timeout during which time the 
machine is totally frozen except the analog kclock. Many times I have 
several screens full of errors logged, which might contain clues as to 
what is blocking things, but the list strips attachments so no one but 
me sees them.

I ask for help, describing what happening and no one has offered a 
solution other than yet another new install. Only one other person has 
reported a similar problem, by PM as hes seen the reception I've gotten 
for suggesting the installer is broken, with an side comment that 
installer in the live dvd image doesn't do that. But I have enough work 
stored on this machine now that I'd lose with a re-install that I'm 
building me an 8T raid10 amanda backup system I hope to have working 
when trixie is announced. A du -h /home/gene is 343Gigs. I've been busy 
with OpenSCAD and 3d printers.

They have, and apparently got the same reception I've gotten. So they 
wrote a patch and pinned it on discord. So we klipper users fixed it 
years ago. Yet its an unauthorized line of code. Why, with that 
attitude, should I bother, years later, with all this?

Searching (you need rights) for udev bugs should find it if some dev 
hasn't erased it.  I don't know how and have long since lost the pw. I 
ask for a pw reset but don't get it. Several times.  I'm apparently a 
nobody to the devs.

Verify the bug has been fixed with "ls /dev/serial/by-id/"  if you don't 
get a valid response, that's the bug.

You should get something that looks faintly like this:

gene@coyote:~$ ls /dev/serial/by-id/
usb-1a86_USB_Serial-if00-port0

usb-FTDI_USB_HS_SERIAL_CONVERTER_FTDHG45D-if00-port0

word wrapped by tbird of course.  Those are in fact brother printers or 
cm11a's for x10 stuff. And they were NOT plugged in for the last 25 
installs after someone said to unplug the usb stuff.

Thank you  Max.

That has to be spinning rust. And sounds like it is using a cane to 
walk. In my systems there is only one spinning rust, the rest have all 
been fitted with SSD from 120G to 4T. the only spinning rust is in the 
machine running my 6040 gantry mill, and its a 250G seacrate built back 
when they made good drives. Why just one? 2 years ago I bought a pair if 
new seagate 2T's and put them in this machine. 1 to run /home on, and 
one for amanda, backing up the rest of my stuff.  Both of those drives 
disappeared of the end of a sata-ii cable in consequtive nights less 
that 2 weeks later. I lost everything including the only picture of my 
first wife, who had a stroke and died in '68.  She came with 2 of her 
own and we made 3 more, all of which have since passed. I'd already had 
my battles with seagate and that was the last straw. They would not sell 
me a head drum for their tape changer, so it spent the holidays every 
year in Oklahoma City getting a rebuild & new drum. At the time I was 
the CE at a tv station with 13 Panasonic DVC-PRO machines, machines I 
could put a new head in one in the morning and 1 in the afternoon. Its a 
bit complex and needed a 4 trace scope with 100megs of bandwidth to do 
it. I was fully qualified to do a drum in a tape drive. And was denied 
the part. So over time I've had my fill of seagate. I didn't even bother 
to warranty that junk.

Yes folks, electronically, I have been there and done that, with 2 
exceptions caused by the FCC or whatever, I fixed it all, from $10,000 
tv zoom lenses to $300,000 transmitters.  But I can't fix what there is 
no docs for. Or information I don't know where to pull the docs from.

18TB "on paper" is usually 18 * 1000^4 bytes, so if you convert this
into "computer units" is ~16.37 * 1024^4 bytes.  If you then make an
ext4 filesystem on it with the customary 5% reserved for root, that gets
you down to 15.5TB, to which you also have to remove the space used by
inodes, so yes, probably about 15TB and of course, once you start
putting actual files ion the drive, additional space will be used by
directories and metadata.

Now now, let's not derail a rant with facts :)

That being said, I thought the variance from TB -> TiB was 10%; or have
I gotten it backwards?

My intuition votes for 1-1000/1024 = 1-125/128 which is approximately 2.35%
but it's been wrong before.

That would be for KB, but Tera is the third power of that. So it's about
three times 2.35%, if you throw away the higher order terms (we physicists
are cheap, like that ;-)

I think you meant 4th power, but what's a factor 1024 between friends.

TB is about 10% larger. One of the worst crimes in computer history was 
ever talking about storage in powers of 2, I really wish it would just 
go away. It has properties that nobody wants and has been the source of 
endless confusion, for really no benefits whatsoever.

Hmm. Even talking about this is hard. The unit TiB is 1099511627776 
bytes while the unit TB is 1000000000000 bytes. That is, when talking 
about a drive, expressing it in TB is about a 10% larger number because 
the TiB itself is larger. E.g., a drive that is 20000000000000 bytes 
would be 20TB or 18TiB.

Ah, found the mistake I made before.

1024^4 / 1000^4 (9.9% bigger) vs. 1000^4 / 1024^4 (9.09% smaller).
