IMPORTANT : please note that the DB migration may take A LOT of time on this version (it took hours on our instances)! ️

#LinuxMint #Debian Edition Is Getting Support for OEM Installations with the LMDE 7 Release Based on Debian 13 "Trixie" https://9to5linux.com/linux-mint-debian-edition-is-getting-support-for-oem-installations-with-lmde-7

Always document your builds! I have to rebuild a #ProxMox cluster with #Thunderbolt support and I forgot what the hell I did to get it working last time.

#APT3.0 #Paketmanager erschienen – das ist neu - #fosstopia:

Die Veröffentlichung markiert den Beginn einer neuen stabilen Serie, gewidmet Steve Langasek, einem prägenden Mitgestalter von #Debian und #Ubuntu, der am 1. Januar 2025 verstarb.

Oh, so you’ve stumbled upon this post with the hashtag #Fediverse? Congratulations, you’re officially part of the elite club of internet cool kids. But wait—don’t get too comfortable. Whatever you do, do not follow me. Seriously, it’s a trap. You’ll regret it faster than realizing pineapple on pizza is a controversial topic.

Why? Because, plot twist: I like Linux. Yeah, that’s right—the operating system that’s technically for tech wizards but is actually for anyone who enjoys typing commands in a terminal at 3 AM while sipping coffee and pretending to be a hacker. Just kidding… or am I?

This is satire, so don't take it seriously... unless you should, in which case, totally do.

OpenSSL 3.5.0 made it to Debian sid, and so it will likely be part of Trixie.

Paketverwalter #APT macht Versionssprung auf 3.0.0 | heise online https://www.heise.de/news/Paketverwalter-apt-macht-Versionssprung-auf-3-0-0-10342718.html #OpenSource #Debian #Linux #Ubuntu

Today I upgraded my #Prosody #XMPP server from 0.12.5 to 0.13. I had to stop calling the vcard_muc module in my configuration files, as that functionality is already provided by another module. To double check: I was able to change a chat room's avatar, even after removing vcard_muc.

Thanks for the #debian backport, @debacle

PS: running "prosodyctl check" *doesn't* (and arguably should) notice that vcard_muc was called, and recommend that it should be removed.

Edit: I reported this in the Prosody XMPP chatroom.

APT Package Manager version 3.0 uploaded in #Debian Linux unstable with a lot of new features https://tracker.debian.org/news/1635519/accepted-apt-300-source-into-unstable/

#debian has been a father of many distros, I use #linux mint around 8 years now which is based on #ubuntu which is based on debian

I installed an extension called #HideTopBar, and it forced me to acknowledge that I'm slowly turning Gnome into OSX.

Fine. That's what I'm doing.

But I'm doing without giving a single nickel to Apple, so there.
