University of Toronto ☛ We should re-check our local settings every so often
We customize and set up a lot of things, sometimes on a per-system basis. Because university departments can be long-term places and we have our own eccentric setup for configuration management, these settings can persist for a long time, across multiple Ubuntu LTS versions and so on. Sometimes the result outright doesn't work at all, with consequences that range from undesirable to mostly harmless (for example, if you're trying to set Linux kernel sysctls that no longer exist). But sometimes our old settings are actively harmful, as happened recently with the per-user limits we set on everyone on one machine. As of Ubuntu 26.04, these limits are now visibly too small and cause undesired behavior.
