The comments on the Debian Twitter post announcing their leaves is unironically so funny and a reflect of why they are leaving in a first place
In brief, debian is :
- Marxist
- Political
- Nazi
- Woke
- Delusional
- Anti- Free speech
- A cult
- Not Arch
- Leaving it's "customers"
- Having "customers"
- Lesbian
- having a diversity statement
- going gay
- has no value
- retarded and gay
- DEI
- …

Dites les mastonautes
Vous auriez une recommandation d'un outil qui permet de surveiller les changements qui interviennent sur une page web ? Idéalement #OpenSource ? Ou qui s'installe sur #Debian ? merci :)
Trixie release preparations are progressing: Trixie's first freeze stage concerning transitions and the toolchain started on March 15 as planned https://release.debian.org/trixie/freeze_policy.html#summary #debian #trixie
#Debian : Renowned for its #stability and #reliability, this is a free, open-source operating system that receives regular updates and security patches. Thanks to a large community of active and committed developers, Debian is constantly evolving while remaining rock-solid. 
A trusted choice for those looking for a robust and secure OS. 
In short: Stability, security and community
Quelqu'un chez qui j'ai installé #Debian avec #KDEplasma sur un SSD tout neuf pour que son ordi reste dans la course me dit qu'il a "du mal avec #Linux" parce que dans le dossier téléchargements, les fichiers ne sont pas triés par date.
Ça me pousse à croire que le plus gros frein à l'adoption d'une distro Linux, c'est juste la flemme de faire un clic droit 
J'espère qu'il va suivre ma recommandation et prendre son système en main.
Nope hard coding a symlink for the UPS has not worked.
Any one that interested this my udev rule file
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0665", ATTRS{idProduct}=="5161", MODE="0660", SYMLINK+="usb/psd1600dev0"
I also forgot to add I running #Debian 12 in earlier post
Some days I'm so tired of upstream developers being so adverse to downstream maintainers. Like, it's not just the ungratefulness — it's like completely neglecting the tons of work we're putting into keeping things working. And they literally rely on our work (unless they're running their own distribution).
Yeah, sure, maybe you don't use #Gentoo. Maybe you use #Debian, or #Fedora, or #Arch, or their derivates, or some other independent distribution. Does that mean that Gentoo work is insignificant? What if the developers of your distribution are facing exactly the same problem? And even if they weren't, does that mean that upstreams using Gentoo should become adverse to the distribution you're using?
Yeah, sure, maybe you don't agree with one of our principles or another. Maybe you even are a Gentoo user, yet disagree with how Gentoo works. Well, even so, you're not the only Gentoo user out there. We're doing the best we can with what we have, and we're trying to make sure things work best for everyone in Gentoo. I'm not saying we're always right, but you really should have a good reason to despise all the work we've been doing.
Yeah, sure, maybe you don't use distribution #Python packaging at all, maybe you despise it entirely and wish it would all be burned down to the ground in favor of everyone using wheels from #PyPI, or whatever. But guess what — there are people who actually find it advantageous, and benefit from it, and want to use it. And there are projects that simply don't work in that ecosystem at all, and need a better package manager. And we're here, for them.
So, yeah, sure. Maybe you don't use the distribution I'm working on, nor any projects I'm working on. Maybe you disagree with me on every single principle, and don't see any purpose in any of my work. Maybe you will never use any of it. Maybe your friends or your family, or anyone you know or care about will even benefit from any of it. Still, there's a lot of people who do and who need this, and who are you to give them the digitus impudicus?

My laptop is from 2013. It was OK back then. It's now running #Debian and works fine. It got an SSD a few years ago and a new battery last year.
It does all the things I need a laptop for and would be good enough for 99% of consumers.
Most people could greatly benefit in many ways from #Linux. What's a good way to get people to try Linux? Genuine question.
Debian GNU/Linux 12.10 »Bookworm« ist erschienen

my adventures in #selfhosting - day 89 
Oh #PeerTube, you are making me do mental somersaults as I strategize about the best way to self-host my videos.
This newbie wants to ask: how many VPS’s are too many for someone who has little coding experience and has been self-hosting for just 3 months?
Fedi friends, I’m thinking of signing up for a THIRD VPS 
Why?
My current setup:
5€/month Debian VPS with #YunoHost, where I’m self-hosting #GoToSocial (this account), #Friendica, #Pixelfed, #Fail2Ban and #LinkStack.
5€/month Ubuntu VPS where I am self-hosting my (upcoming) #Ghost blog (this will make me save a ton, compared to my current Ghost Pro plan).
Back to PeerTube: I could easily upgrade my #Debian VPS and install it there - the costs would be minimal and I would double my RAM and storage. But I am afraid of PeerTube’s consumption when it comes to bandwidth. As in: if I upload a video that for some reason becomes really popular, or if a bad actor decides to DDOS my channel, would that take down all my other self-hosted Fediverse instances? Since they are on the same VPS?
I could limit potential issues by having a dedicated VPS just for PeerTube.
What would you do?
And do you have recommendations for Europe-based VPS’s with affordable plans? (aside from Hostinger) I was thinking of #Hetzner…

After Debian archive was updated to 12.10, the Debian CD team did the hard work of preparing and testing our installation medias to make sure everything is working correctly. Their work is now complete and the images are available at https://www.debian.org/distrib/ #debian #bookworm
after many days of work, here is another functional demo of #GNOME shell running on the secondary display connected to the #flx1. it took many hours to build the app and make everything act nice and not crash and integrate cleanly. still a long way to go but i think it is a good time to showcase the progress in the past 7 days.
i hope to get this ready and done by 13.0.9 which is the next release but obviously no promises.
@dthompson @dckc #Nix just pulls everything described in go.mod on build time and skips packaging individually, the easiest way. #Debian stopped to support projects written in Golang.
While packaging Golang I've noticed a lot of duplicates, not upstreamed forks, a ton of logging libraries which may buy just one etc, awful documentation or nil.
I see the issue in A: the shortcut to add changes - forking, B: unbelievable ignorance in checking existing projects and creating similarities
