Raises the question why I have no mail on my home server - the machine I allow to do unattended upgrades and actually ssh into regularly. The place where it would be useful to know if a disk is failing or if an upgrade is about to break all my shit

Was messing around with ssh and avahi (thanks @mcc) and noticed that I have "new mail"

Apparently my SSD and apt-listchanges have been sending me mail for the past 8 years.

Also I have no modern software that can read a local mailspool. Using 'M-x rmail' like it's 1998

@mcc I have no idea what i'm doing :-(

Just a guess: did sudo systemctl restart avahi-daemon.service in fact restart avahi? or did it start it? Maybe it wasn't running before?

what happens if you change the setting back to "no" and restart?

@mcc I'm on a debian forky/sid chimera.
My avahi-daemon.conf has publish-workstation=no

I can nonetheless ping MYMACHINENAME.local

https://askubuntu.com/questions/1517402/cannot-resolve-own-local-avahi-hostname suggests checking your nssswitch.conf and making sure libnss-mdns is installed although it seems like not having that woudl break all mdns
