Looking to replace all 4 tires on my 2011 Accord LX sedan. Currently have BFGoodrich Advantage T/A Sport (215/60R16) tires, which are now choppy/uneven and contributing to vibration above 60 mph.

Looking for a smooth, quiet, reliable all-season tire with good tread life and decent MA winter/rain performance.

What tires would you recommend, and what’s a reasonable price for 4 installed?

Thanks

Hi all — looking for Massachusetts-specific unemployment insurance guidance or experiences. I am also waiting to have my separation agreement reviewed by an employment attorney.

I was notified on July 9 that my position is being eliminated due to restructuring. My last working day is Friday, July 24.

My employer sent a separation packet. It includes a few weeks of severance but only if I sign the separation agreement within 45 days of my separation date.

I am trying to understand the unemployment insurance timing and any caveats before I file. My questions are:

1. Since my last day is Friday, July 24, can I file my Massachusetts unemployment claim starting Sunday, July 26, or should I wait until the separation agreement/severance issue is resolved?
2. If I sign the separation agreement and receive severance, does that usually delay or reduce Massachusetts UI benefits?
3. Does Massachusetts DUA treat severance differently if the payment is conditioned on signing a release of claims?
4. When filing, how should I accurately report severance that has been offered but not yet paid?
5. Are there any Massachusetts-specific gotchas I should be aware of before filing?

I believe I otherwise meet the basic eligibility requirements: Loss due to no fault of my own, I am legally authorized to work in the U.S., and I am able/available to work and actively job searching.

Thanks

I am trying to setup a new server via kickstart. Everything works except, if i fo not set a users password it doesn't prompt me unlike AL9 I believe that it would prompt to set a password

#Root password rootpw --lock user --groups=wheel --name=donald

If i comment the user line, installer proceeds but I cannot login as no password is set. I usually enable key based auth afterwards via ansible playbook.

I was hoping to set it interactively like prior versions.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Yes, yes, I used AI to help write this for clarity.

Running VPS w Almalinux 9.7 OS

Standard NBDE with Clevis/Tang. Static IP on the primary interface. Kernel cmdline includes:

rd.neednet=1 ip=<host-ip>::<gateway>:<prefix>::<iface>:none

Works fine — disk unlocks at boot over IPv4.

The issue at hand

Every host shows two NM profiles for the same interface after boot:

NAME   UUID                                  FILENAME
ens18  <uuid-1>  /run/NetworkManager/system-connections/ens18.nmconnection
ens18  <uuid-2>  /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ens18.nmconnection

The /run/ one is generated by nm-initrd-generator from the ip= cmdline — IPv4 only, IPv6 disabled, autoconnect-priority=-100. The /etc/ one is the real profile with full dual-stack config.

(Per Claude) why this happens:

dracut intentionally copies /run/NetworkManager/ to the real root as the initrd→OS handoff. The /run/ profile regenerates with a new UUID on every boot. This is by design.

On IPv4-only hosts it's cosmetic. On hosts running IPv6, the wrong profile being active means IPv6 never comes up.

What I've tried (w Claude)

• [keyfile] path= in NM config — NM ignores it, hardcodes /run/ as a read path regardless
• autoconnect-priority=100 on the /etc/ profile — doesn't help because the interface is already active at handoff, priority only matters for connections not yet activated
• Adding IPv6 to ip= — dracut hard-fails on two ip= entries for the same interface; upstream issues on this go back to 2018 with no clean fix
• NM dispatcher script — fires on interface up, switches to the /etc/ profile if the wrong one is active. Works, but hardcodes UUID which breaks on reprovision

Questions

1. Is there a clean NM-native way to ensure the /etc/ profile always wins over an initrd-generated one?
2. Better approach than a dispatcher script for this?

Thanks
