Fresh Debian 13 (Trixie) install – was ich immer als erstes mache:

→ Root deaktivieren
→ SSH-Key only (ed25519)
→ UFW mit nur den nötigen Ports
→ Docker ready

Die zerbrechlichen Ketten der Bequemlichkeit

Ein Plädoyer für die digitale Emanzipation Europas

Wir haben unsere digitale Freiheit gegen Komfort eingetauscht. Microsoft, Amazon, Google und Meta bestimmen, wie wir kommunizieren, arbeiten und denken. Der CrowdStrike-Schock war kein Unglück, er war eine Ansage. Es ist Zeit, die Ketten zu sprengen. Ein Plädoyer für die digitale Emanzipation Europas. [Mehr lesen...]

In terms of what I use most of the time, my main OS at home is #FreeBSD, and my main OS at work is #Debian.

I also have an #OpenBSD laptop at home, but it doesn't get a lot of use. I also have a #Fedora laptop and an #OpenSuSE desktop, both at home.

Oh, and some random Raspberry Pi OS and Debian machines here and there.

Here's my quick perspective:

When Linux works (which it does most of the time), it is a dream. When it doesn't work, it's a nightmare of complexity, relatively poor documentation (I mean actual HOWTO documents, not just manpages and wikis), and technical churn.

When BSD works (which it does, but less often than Linux), it's totally fine, and you forget you're not running Linux. When it doesn't work, it's either because it's a technical problem that hasn't been solved yet (limited resources compared to the light-cigars-with-benjamins money that the Linux Foundation gets), or it's a simple configuration issue, and there's almost always a very helpful manpage, PDF manual, or someone on the fediverse to point you in the right direction.

BSD feels like an operating system that tries hard to be a good desktop, and succeeds to varying degrees.
Linux feels like a lovecraftian tale of runaway technical complexity and corporate intrigue that does an amazing job at cosplaying as a desktop, most of the time.

I love them both.

After installing the XFCE power manager plugin, the brightness controls on the keyboard work too. I love this stuff.

Debian reagiert vorsichtig auf mögliche Altersprüfungen https://fosstopia.de/debian-mogliche-altersprufungen/ #Altersabfrage #Altersprüfungen #Debian #Linux

Ageleless Linux, eine #Distribution, die Gesetze zur Altersverifizierung in Betriebssystemen umgehen soll, wurde veröffentlicht. Ageleless Linux bezeichnet sich selbst als Distribution für Personen unbestimmten Alters und verstößt damit fundamental gegen geltende Gesetze zur Altersverifizierung. Unter anderem implementiert die Distribution eine Stub-API zur #Altersverifizierung, die stets ein unbestimmtes Alter zurückgibt.

Das Installationsskript become-ageless.sh ermöglicht die Umstellung jeder bestehenden #Debian #GNU/Linux-Installation auf #Ageless #Linux. Das #Skript ersetzt die Datei /etc/os-release und fügt Informationen über Verstöße gegen die Gesetze zur Altersverifizierung hinzu (COMPLIANCE_STATUS="refused", API_STATUS="#refused", VERIFICATION_STATUS="flagrantly noncompliant"). Es erstellt außerdem das Verzeichnis /etc/ageless/ mit Berichten über Verstöße und implementiert einen Prototyp einer Dummy-API, die Anwendungen Informationen zum Benutzeralter bereitstellt. Die API-Implementierung besteht aus dem Skript /etc/ageless/age-verification-api.sh, das auf alle Anfragen die Fehlermeldung „ERROR: Age data not available“ zurückgibt und darauf hinweist, dass alle Benutzer im System ein unbekanntes Alter haben.

Das Einzige was echt nervt, dass man Asahi Linux NICHT als ISO runterladen und auf einen Stick laden kann, um eine komplette Installation zu machen. Das #macOS (nur Grundinstallation, ohne Einrichtung mit Apple-Account!) verbraucht rund 75GB. Schade um den Platz.

But: my second Macbook Pro runs #Linux!

apt install anarchism!

Ich nutze seit vielen Jahren Debian GNU/Linux als Hauptbetriebssystem auf allen meinen Rechnern. Schon immer hat mir auch gefallen, dass mit dem Befehl "apt install anarchism" eine umfangreiche Textsammlung zum Thema Anarchismus im Dateisystem unter /usr/share/doc/anarchism abgelegt wird (die html-Dateien lassen sich in einem Browser öffnen).

Das Foto zeigt diesen Befehl als Graffito an einer Wand des alten Les Tanneries in Dijon:

Ich habe befürchtet das Du das sagst.

Das hat aber nichts mit #Linux zu tun.

Das ist eine Besonderheit der #Suse Distribution.

Auch wenn man die Verwaltung der Programme verschiedene Tools überlasst geht das natürlich mal in die Hose.

Auch verstehe ich nicht das die Verwaltung des Pcs lästig ist.

Per #ssh darauf zugreifen dauert maximal 2 Minuten und geht sogar vom Smartphone aus.

Allerdings hätte ich was stabileres wie #Debian als #Suse genommen.

@markus

Gibt es für #Linux / #Debian ein Tool, das mich zuverlässig über #Updates informiert (per Mail, idealerweise aber #Matrix)?
Ich würde gern automatisiert informiert werden bei Updates definierter #Pakete (#apt), #GitHub etc und #Docker (*örks*).

#LUKS is gonna drive me mad.

This is on a brand new #Debian install. All I'm trying to do is have my home partition encrypted on a second SSD. No matter what I try, I get an unbootable system or it just ignores the second SSD. Right now, the last thing I tried to do was to use LVM to add the second SSD as a physical partition. But that didn't work either.

The last thing I tried was to boot into the graphical installer (not the live session) and install it with the guided partitioning using LVM and encryption. I then booted into a live session, Set up the second SSD as a physical volume and then add that physical volume to the main volume group. I then extended the swap and root partition into the new space provided by the second SSD as physical volume, but it doesn't boot.

Are there any distros that handle this automatically? I'm tired of pulling my hair out.

Y'know what? As an #opensource #advocate and #tech enthusiast, it's genuinely awesome to see increased mainstream coverage of #Linux and #FreeBSD. Unfortunately, a lot of these articles are riddled with mistakes, misinformation, clickbait, and overall low quality. A few minutes ago, while catching up on tech news I came across one #ZDNet author's frequent posts on Linux and FreeBSD.

To emphasize my point, I am only going to focus on one article titled, "After decades on Linux, FreeBSD finally gave me a reason to switch operating systems."

The following passages stuck out like sore thumb:

1.) "FreeBSD is more challenging than Linux."

-But is it really? Subjective, particularly if coming from a GUI-driven Linux distribution. Frankly I find FreeBSD easier because of the excellent documentation and coherent design.

2.) "FreeBSD is Unix-like" but further down he states, "Essentially, FreeBSD is Unix, where Linux is based on Unix."

-Contradictory, incorrect, and confusing for newcomers. FreeBSD is Unix. Linux (neither the kernel nor OS) is based on Unix.

3.) "Think of FreeBSD as a more challenging version of Linux. This operating system doesn't hold your hand, so you might learn a thing or two as you install it and the software you require. Even for a seasoned Linux veteran like me, FreeBSD can often be a head-scratcher."

-Challenging because it's *different than Linux*? FreeBSD doesn't hold your hand? What about #Debian, #Gentoo, #Arch, heck even #RHEL? Since the author didn't mention it, I'm going to assume he did not check the FreeBSD Handbook and his "seasoned Linux" experience has been using a Linux desktop for a couple years. Also, head-scratcher?! Being an experienced Debian user, I'd be scratching my head too if I just decided to use Gentoo on a whim. The trauma of hand-configuring the xorg.conf file was real.

Finally, contrary to the article's title, the author ended up not switching to FreeBSD.

-Clickbait.

I am all for more people exploring FreeBSD and Linux. They are great OSes but it is critical the information being reported is both accurate and consistent. For reference the article is linked below.

A frame from the animated demo at the Welcome page.

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.

I love using Debian. I think it is so interesting that so many distros have been or currently are based on Debian. While I prefer vanillia Debian, I wanted to list all of the Debian based distros (non-Ubuntu) I know of and categorize them based on what makes them unique.

Ease of use:

Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE) - Default for Windows refugees.
MX Linux - MXTools is cool.
Deepin - Beautiful, preconfigured DE.
Peppermint_OS – Lightweight, cloud integrated

Modern/Atomic (New Technologies):

Vanilla OS - Immutable, atomic updates, ability to run apps from Fedora/Arch via Apx. Friendly to new users.
Nitrux - Immutable, no systemd (OpenRC), heavy reliance on AppImage

Performance and/or Old Hardware:

Siduction - Based on Debian Sid. Rolling release, newest kernels.
antiX - No systemd, runs on a toaster (256MB RAM)
Sparky Linux - Debian testing w/better support for drivers/gaming.
BunsenLabs - minimalist OpenBox
Elive - Enlightenment desktop, high-end looks for 20 year old hardware.
Window Maker Live - NeXTSTEP look, fast, polished, and based on Debian 13.

Multimedia/Creative:

AV Linux (MX Edition) – Preconfigured w/low-latency kernel for audio production.
Neptune OS – Polished KDE with excellent media support.

Toolbox Distros:

Kali Linux / Parrot OS - Penetration tools preloaded, think hackerman.
Tails - Anonymity, amnesic, no trace
Whonix – Highly secure via dual-VM setup.
Proxmox VE - Server, machine host for VMs
TrueNAS SCALE - NAS, built for ZFS storage and applications.
OpenMediaVault – Turn old hardware into a NAS
Grml/Finnix/Knoppix - The "oh shit" buttons
Raspberry Pi OS - built for Pi's
VyOS – Router OS
BashCore - Ultra minimalist, stealth, CLI focused, live environment, zero branding.

Protest Distros:

Devuan - dislike for systemd
PureOS – FSF endorsed, 100% free software, privacy-focused

Global & Educational:

Endless OS – Designed for developing world for offline content.
Emmabuntüs – Reviving donated PCs for schools in Africa.

You could also consider Debian Pureblends, like Debian Med and Debian Edu.

Did I miss any? Please let me know, I will edit the list. Thank you!

SysVinit vs systemd on #Debian #Linux 13 Trixie. #ThinkPad T480. It's a default install with KDE Plasma.

This time it's #Debian with #Docker. I used to avoid containers, preferring to run services directly instead. But setting up backups made me appreciate the separation between the application data in image and persistent state in mounted volumes. The final piece that convinced me is the ability to self-host my own container registry with @forgejo@floss.social

I'm doing the initial setup through #Ansible (learned from @notthebee@tilde.zone), but specific applications are managed via dockge. The ambition to do every adjustment through playbooks burns out really fast when working with a single instance.
