Oracle Container Registry logon failing with correct Oracle account credentials

docker login container-registry.oracle.com with your Oracle SSO logon no longer works after 30/6/2025, you need to create an Auth Token and use that as your password. See this banner across the top of the Container Registry site:

  • Go to container-registry.oracle.com and logon
  • Click your user account top right
  • From the dropdown menu, select Auth Token

Use this auth token value in place of your SSO password when logging on with docker login and this should work as expected.

This is described in the Oracle docs here.

Connect to libera.chat (Europe):

/connect irc.eu.libera.chat

Join a channel:

A few channels on libera.chat:

MS Flight Simulator 2024: Around the World update 6: Oregon -> Washington -> Alaska

Continuing from Update 5, I left Southwest Oregon Regional KOTH, continuing north from Oregon, through Washington and into Alaska:

Although it seems I’m seeing less issues with MSFS 2024, random weird issues still popup, like this odd rending issue on the ground at KOTH:

This reminded me of the screen update issue you used to get on Windows 95/98 when you drag a window across the screen and leave a trail:

A restart and some time later, and passed over Seattle:

Into Alaska, no glaciers yet, but incredible scenery:

Approaching Port Hardy CYZT, Alaska from the south-west, about to turn for runway 11:

MS Flight Simulator 2024: Around the World update 5: I5 North through California, into Oregon

I have a backlog of screenshots to catchup on with my Around the World flight – here’s continuing from Update 4 – this update covers 2 legs, from Edwards to Half Moon Bay KHAF, and then onto Southwest Oregon Regional KOTH:

After leaving Edwards and flying over LA, I started flying North following I5 over the Grapevine and into the California valley:

Took a short break on this leg, stopping at Elk Hills Buttonwillow L62:

From Buttonwillow I headed west to the California coast, passed San Luis Obispo and then started heading north along the coast:

More scenery streaming issues over SFO:

Realtime weather, fogged in approaching Sonoma County for a break:

Northern California following 101 north:

It’s surprising how mountainous most of the Oregon coast line is:

I ended this leg at Southwest Oregon Regional KOTH, but forgot to take any screenshots on approach.

Next up, heading through Washington and on to Alaska.
