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.

IRC quick tips

I rarely browse a few IRC channels, infrequently enough that I can never remember how to log on and switch channels 🙂 Here’s a quick cheatsheet of useful commands:

Connect to libera.chat (Europe):

/connect irc.eu.libera.chat

Join a channel:

/join channelname

A few channels on libera.chat:

  • linux
  • hamradio
  • raspberrypi

Channels listed by users: https://netsplit.de/channels/?net=Libera.Chat

IRSSI notes

Hide joins and quits in current window:

/window hidelevel +joins +parts +quits

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:
