#Snowflake has been a crucial circumvention tool for censored users in Russia, China, Iran, Turkmenistan, and many others regions!

You can help keep the internet free and open. Run a Snowflake proxy!

It's as simple as opening a tab on your browser!

I'm using an Apple Mac mini (Mid-2010) running #Debian 13, freshly installed this afternoon. Below is the load on it after it's 1st hour of being online!

Was Thorsten zum Fix formuliert hätte:

Die Fehlerkorrektur zog am Morgen des 9.10. in den Hauptentwicklungszweig von #Linux ein und wurde darüber kurz danach Bestandteil von v7.3-rc7. Am Nachmittag des 15.10. floss sie dann mit den Versionen v7.2.11, v6.18.57, v6.12.113, v6.6.159, v6.1.190, v5.15.223 und v5.10.272 in alle derzeit gewarteten Stable- und Longterm-Kernel-Serien. Einige Distributionen liefern solche Versionen bereits aus, darunter #Debian. Andere, wie Red Hat und Canonical, nutzen unabhängig gewartete #Kernel, die vielfach auf anderen, Upstream oft schon lange nicht mehr gepflegten Serien aufbauen – daher müssen diese Distributoren den Fix aufgreifen, auf lokalen Änderungen abstimmen, testen und ausliefern; letzteres ist bislang nicht der Fall.

There are decisions you don’t like to make — and you like implementing them even less. Take choosing an operating system, for example. Unfortunately, it’s not very productive to insist on open-source systems if they don’t work flawlessly on your own hardware.

Take, for example, my new Asus NUC 16 Pro with an Intel Ultra X7 processor and its built-in (soldered) components. The only Linux distribution that runs smoothly on it is Fedora. However, for political reasons (the U.S.), I no longer want to use it (although, from a user’s perspective, I do miss it—it’s simply the best Linux, period). But I haven’t been able to get U.S.-independent distributions like Debian to run properly on it; in some cases, the system wasn’t even recognized when I tried installing them from a USB drive. Another new experience… but then again, I’ve never had such relatively brand-new hardware that also requires a cutting-edge kernel. Maybe Ubuntu would work, but I don’t like Ubuntu or Canonical. That’s why I’m running Windows 11 Pro on it. Reluctantly, but everything works.

The same goes for my old ThinkPad T490s. Everything works wonderfully with any Linux distribution—except for the 5G modem. And I need that when I’m on the go. There’s no workaround for it either; I’ve probably scoured the entire web for one, but not a single tip helped. So here, too: Windows...

Now I actually have two Windows computers running again, for the sake of my sanity and to save time. At least I’m using only local accounts and the strictest possible privacy settings and tweaks you can apply to Windows. And I only use those two computers when necessary.

Most of my work continues to run on my two Debian systems, the FreeBSD computer, and, when necessary, on the Mac as well.

Still, it leaves a bad taste in my mouth, but I don’t want to let the devices sit around unused.

Is it just me, or are there others who feel torn like this???

#Neuhier #Introduction #Debian #SelfHosted #Linux #EveOnline #NerdStuff

Thinking about switching to #NetBSD to avoid #Linux #AI tainted kernel, and the thing that is worrying me most is package managers. I've been using #Debian and derivatives for about twenty years mainly because of its excellent package manager. Is there anything which does similar dependency tracking in the #BSD world?

Your artwork could be featured in the next Debian release

Debian Linux has put a call out for artist submissions for its next release: Forky.

While I'm not on #Nura, I'm on #Mobian, which is pretty similar. I.e. it is an orthodox Linux distribution on a mobile device. One is based on Alpine, the other on #Debian.

The most popular UI on both systems is probably #phosh, which is featureful and looks fresh and modern — at least to an #Emacs addicted greybeard like myself.

💻 Frage an die FOSS-Gemeinde: Wie haltet ihr es mit KI beim Programmieren?

Debian hat im August entschieden: weder Verbot noch Freibrief, die Verantwortung bleibt bei den Menschen. Papst Leo XIV. mahnt in seiner Enzyklika „Magnifica Humanitas" sinngemäß: KI darf Menschlichkeit und eigenes Denken nicht verdrängen.

Wo liegen für euch die Grenzen? Ich selbst nutze openSUSE Leap 16. Und ihr? 🐧

Sending good vibes to everyone in the Debian community navigating the recent transitions. If you're using this moment to do a little distro-hopping, consider jumping over to the BSD side. NetBSD offers a completely independent codebase built on a classic, predictable philosophy. You might just find your new permanent home! 🚩💻

#selfhosting #Debian #Docker #Dockge

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.
