Sorry for the unplanned outages of Debian and Manjaro tonight.

     As I mentioned earlier, I had moved these two to the new machine primary because I have to build kernels on both, on Debian because Debian signs it’s kernels and won’t load an unsigned kernel built on a non-Debian machine, on Manjaro also because it’s kernel environment is unique.  So moving them to this machine reduces the time it takes to build kernels.

     Well, I was installing software to get it ready for it’s main function which is web applications, and I had ufw installed, and accidentally installed avahi, autoipd, ppp, and firewalld, and somehow this broke networking.

     While I was at the co-lo fixing this stuff, I also changed some configuration to make the system NOT depend upon disk-by-uuid because as useful as this feature is, it is not reliable and results in failed boots.
