We don't wish to ruin our own surprise anniversary party, but we'd like to share that we celebrate 30 years of Debian on August 17 of this year. Join us! Plenty of Cheese and Cake to be had. :) Organize your very own Debian Day! https://wiki.debian.org/DebianDay/2023#debian#debianday
@penguin42@liw Yeah, it is not obvious at first, but there is a virtual release "stable", which is just a symlink in the ftp tree, so releasing a new version is just a matter of pointing that symlink to something else.
@liw "Self-contained" and "No bundled libraries" ought to be all distros, along with bootstrapping from source whenever possible (full-source being a ton of work).
@allo yeah, I want to boycott that API, but still use the browser I like the UX most. So going with Debian chromium gives me the best of both worlds. What else then: Posting everywhere, that I don't like it, can I do?
If you are out there happily applying the new #Debian pointrelease - DO NOT REBOOT into the updated #linux#kernel. It contains a serious (and silent) #data#corruption#bug that MAY (not must) affect you.
Fixes are in preparation, but builds will take a bit to complete.
@nixCraft I have a web server using Arch Linux. It has been going on for a little over 5 years now.
When you think about it, there aren't many points of failure for a simple web server (Apache, Nginx, PHP, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, and the few minimal barebones OS files).
I set one up at the request of a client. At the time, I thought they were nuts. Turns out, not so much.
@9to5linux My goal is to get Linux on my PC, but apparently I am not tech inclined enough to figure it out. But, I will keep trying and may even take it someone who can.
Finally putting my x230 to rest, the last sudo poweroff. Hardware is failing beyond the point that makes continuing to repair it worthwhile.
On this laptop I deployed nearly 60 servers (most for at risk groups), 12 tech art projects (solo & collab, some toured worldwide), & gave many lectures & workshops.
If there was ever a loyal and electric steed, it was this x230. It ran #Debian & was good.
I bought it in 2015, for EUR145 on the German eBay, 2nd hand.
@JulianOliver Still better than Lenovo's ThinkPads. As a T14s (AMD Gen1) owner - I'd be upgrading IBM models for as long as possible.
...which reminds me: gotta check #FreeBSD hardware support for FrameWork, Dell and few other vendors' AMD-based laptops.
Due to an issue in ext4 with data corruption in kernel 6.1.64-1, we are a pausing the 12.3 image release for today while we attend to fixes. Please do not update any systems at this time, we urge caution for users with UnattendeUpgrades configured.
Three flawless upgrades from #Debian Bullseye to Debian Bookworm. Another round of thanks for all the hard work that happens behind the scene to deliver this absolute monument of open source!
@bert_hubert I recently did Stretch -> Buster -> Bullseye -> Bookworm on 7(ish) boxes, and only one had (minor) issues with one of the upgrades. Rock solid.
#Debian#gnulinux running on 13 year old Dell desktop computers largely powered the internet phone banking operation in #OliviaChow's Scarborough campaign office in the #Toronto mayoral election. This is these old e-waste candidate computer's second election victory! #topoli
The #ext4 data corruption issue[1] in #Linux#kernel v6.1.64 and v6.1.65 that was fixed with #LinuxKernel 6.1.66[2] apparently hit #Debian 12.3 bookworm point release[3]. Fixes are in the works, but preparing them will take a bit[4].
This is a group of rovers which will collaboratively and autonomously drive around on the moon. They're using Debian for all the dev machines and the rovers themselves.
@film_girl@BalooUriza@Gte I just did a LAN party with videogames from the 90’s, all running in windows 10. Some people enjoy bashing windows because of its tradeoffs or because they’re still bitter about windows 98 ‘s instability, but I never hear anybody praise the incredible engineering on retro compatibility. If it was easy somebody else would do it too.
Salut, j'aimerai bien afficher dans ma barre des tâches la température de mon pc. Je suis sous debian 12. J'ai déjà le visionneur de capteur installé mais j'aimerai l'avoir affiché quelque part en permanence.
Quelqu'un une idée #debian#linux#xfce
Le repouet aide votre PC à rester au frais
