@realn2s I consider keeping boot (not /boot/efi) on a separate partition a thing from an ancient past when bootloaders where unable to access the kernel image in the root filesystem because of limitations of the DOS era. Is default Kali still doing this on recent Installations? #Debian on which Kali is AFAIK based does not do this anymore.

🍥 Debian's Challenge When Its Developers Quietly Drift Away - Phoronix

｢ The issue being encountered isn't that Debian's volunteers stop contributing but that it happens without communicating it to other Debian developers. Particularly for those delegated to different Debian teams and they stop being involved or Debian packages that gradually become unmaintained ｣

Bin weitgehend von "direktem" #TeXLaTeX weg und nutze nur noch #orgmode mit M-x org-latex-export-to-pdf 🙂 Kollaborativ arbeiten kann man direkt in #Emacs mit #crdt.el.

#Typst oder #SILE kämen für mich erst infrage, wenn sie in #Debian drin sind. Externe Pakete machen auf Dauer nur Ärger.

Hello World 🌏

Thank you, your guide (and sudo series) inspired and now showed how to setup Nextcloud and then GoToSocial, in just one evening 🌞

It feels nice - two steps toward greater digital autonomy with #FOSS software made by the community for the community ❤️

Thank you and @yunohost and #Nextcloud and @gotosocial and #Debian and...

It appears Linux root-on-ZFS is a mess. No standard way to do it. Kernel updates require recompiling ZFS. Boot environments are a cornucopia of constantly evolving hacks.

If you're actually using #ZFS on root, on #Debian, what's your preferred hack to make that happen? #sysadmin

I suspect #openzfsmastery might need to assume root on extFS and data on ZFS, leaving root-on-ZFS for the advanced user or a terminal chapter.

Every now and then when I come back to use my daily driver running #Debian #Linux, I got surprised why #apt still does not provided short-formed commands like #pkg in #FreeBSD and #pkgin in #NetBSD do such as:

# FreeBSD
pkg ins vim # same as pkg install vim
pkg sea vim # same as pkg search vim

# NetBSD
pkgin in vim # same as pkgin install vim
pkgin se vim # same as pkgin search vim

# while in Debian
apt search vim # no apt se/sea
apt install vim # no apt in/ins

I'm in the process of putting together a real home server for the first time. In the past, I've used repurposed hardware, but this time I have a 4 port NAS on which I plan to install Debian.

I'm planning to run Docker so that I can run:

1) pi-hole for DNS based network-level ad-blocking and stop-shit-that-thinks-it-is-smart-from-calling-home (migrated from different hardware)
2) calibre-web for ebook management and sharing
3) immich for photo and video management
4) ssh, stfp, and rsync for general file storage
5) plex for media (though it may be a while before I do anything useful with this)

Are there any other (self-hosted) services I should look into, especially since I will have serious storage space for the first time?

@Vivaldi #vivaldi #linux #chromebook #debian

Is it correct that Vivaldi does not provide ARM64 builds for Linux?

@jackwilliambell @cstross @ApostateEnglishman

My one brain implant rule: all software must be in #Debian `stable`/`main`. This means:

a) it, and all dependencies, are DFSG-compatible https://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines

b) and have 3 years support by the Debian security team https://www.debian.org/security/faq#lifespan

c) and maybe 5 years https://www.debian.org/lts/

d) and passed the freeze process with no RC-bugs that would have kept them out of the release https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-faq/ftparchives#frozen

…and also still not too hot on the idea 🙂

Any tips? I want to install #debian sid on a second drive next to trixie.
Trixie will be my main system. How do I add sid to trixies grub?

@david_chisnall You're right, but then there's also the #Debian/flatpak/PyPI/appImage packaging of said software, for both AMD64 and ARM64
