ssh jump host

It’s claimed all over the Internet, here for example, that below works.

ssh -J username@host1:port username@host2:port

You’ll get an error like this:

Bad stdio forwarding specification 'username@host2:port:22'
ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host

You have to specify the destination host port with the -p option.

ssh -pdestination_host_port -J username@jumphost:port username@destination_host

Fix OurLink 150M 802.11n on Buster

From: https://www.thinkpenguin.com/gnu-linux/networking-devices

This works on Debian Buster. Previously updated firmware-realtek to the backports version. I don’t think it maters, as the symptoms were as below before and after.

If you are on Ubuntu 17.04 or Debian 9 and possibly other distributions and you see a list of access points, but can’t connect try this (it works around a bug that prevents users from connecting to a network with a USB wifi adapter):

Edit /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf.

Add to the bottom of the file:

[device]
wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no

Save and run: systemctl restart NetworkManager
