Mittlerweile bin ich ungefähr da angekommen, wo ich bereits bei meinem ersten abgebrochenen Durchspielversuch war. Das Arboretum. Diesmal hatte ich allerdings mehr Glück im Gewächshaus und konnte alle vor dem Telepathen retten, der dort sein Unwesen trieb ​​ #debian #linux #gaming #prey

Ein Screenshot aus dem Computerspiel Prey von 2017. Zu sehen ist der Abschnitt "Arboretum" mit vielen Sträuchern und Bäumen unter einer Kuppel, die an ein riesiges zylindrisches Gewächshaus erinnert. In der Mitte des Bildes ist ein Anwesen zu sehen.

If #Debian is your kinda deal you might want to take a look at the excellent "Debian Administrator's Handbook" - it is free and quite useful!

Hallo ich bin #neuhier und melde mich, weil etwas teilen möchte.

Als alter ITler möchte ich ein Skript teilen, dass dem (Home-)Admin das Leben erleichert, wenn wieder mal ein "curl" oder "wget" bei der Verifizierung eines Zertifikats (#SSL / #TLS) scheitert.
Das kommt nicht so oft vor, deswegen hatte ich immer vergessen was zu tun ist, wenn es mal wieder so weit war.

Das Script prüft welche Zertifikate fehlen, lädt sie herunter, so dass man sie ggf. in die Liste der CAs (certification authorities) aufnehmen kann. Wie das geht, steht in meiner dazugehörigen Doku.

Vielleicht einfach mal sehen, ob ihr es brauchen könnt.

Natürlich #opensource, beschrieben auf https://github.com/himbeer-toni/UserScripts/blob/main/fetch-missing-ca.md, da wäre dann auch ein Downloadlink.

Würde mich freuen, wenn es jemandem hilft!

Mal ne blöde Frage:

@jhx Only 1; it’s a #debian vm I use to run #Frigate (because that’s what the Frigate folks support/recommend)

@shmok
Well, i'm sitting here running #KDE on #Debian ...just saying 😅

Anyone out there using an NVIDIA card with Debian 12/13 and can let @blake know?

I have a dual-boot setup with Debian and Elementary on my laptop, because Elementary was my very first Linux distro, so it’s got a place in my heart.

Anyway, here are some shirts I own, along with two logos and a tux I made at work using the Plasma CNC!

Three casual tech-themed T-shirts laid flat on a wooden floor: one black with a swirl logo, one dark colored with the word elementary, and one light gray with the text dot deb.

A black shelf displays a figurine in a green cloak and yellow hat, flanked by circular and triangular metal sculptures, alongside a small meditating Buddha statue.

A metal cutout of a penguin lies on a textured, ribbed gray surface. The penguin is stylized and adds a playful tone to the minimalist setting.

So I know I don't really post on here much these days, so I guess it's time for an update!

I've recently started an Internship as a Linux Systems Engineer for Managed Web Hosting company. Everything we do is Linux based

It finally feels like all the years of playing around with my Linux #homelab has paid off. I now get paid, to do the very thing I love doing!

Here's to the future

Random #Debian hint

If you want to install some package and remove another one you can leverage "+" and "-" while using apt. 😎

Example:
apt install package1 package2-

This will install package1 and remove package2

I'm always reminded of how much I miss #BSD and #Linux when I boot my #Windows 11 install for some gaming...
Microsoft seems to think that memory and cpu power grows on trees.

No bashing here, just crazy how heavyweight there OS has become over the years (Not even starting with AD's and backdoors etc.)

Guess I still live in the XP/98 days - resource wise.

It feels/behaves sluggish.
Quite different to my #Debian #KDE install - where everything is snappy.

Well, it is only for gaming anymore.

I have a theory about 6-month Linux and BSD upgrades having their own kind of "stability" because there's not as far to go between releases https://zola.passthejoe.net/blog/six-month-stability/

Kubuntu shutting down gracefully – without forcing off the computer – following an insane zpool-scrub(8) command:

Photograph: The system will power off now! … then, task zpool:15021 blocked for more than 491 seconds. I waited, power off succeeded.

#NixOS 25.05 system update (approx. for 4 weeks) took 1h7min on my lenovo #x260 i5 (16GB RAM).

I have no idea why the performance is so poor on that machine in contrast to T490 with same NixOS configuration.

I'll see after I switched back to #Debian if this is related to Nix or the hardware.

Quickly find why a packages was installed on #Debian / #Ubuntu

While tidying up the cabinet in my studio, I found this box with 3 CDs. Alpha, of course, refers to the architecture. And there's a long story behind it that made me smile - which I'll publish on one of my blogs soon.

#FreeBSD #NetBSD #Debian #Alpha

Alt...

A CD jewel case labeled by hand with several operating system names and versions: "FreeBSD 5.3", "NetBSD 2.0", "Debian 'Testing' Sarge", and "ALPHA". The case insert contains 3 TDK CD-R Speed-X discs. The handwriting suggests the CD contains installation or boot media for Alpha architecture systems.

#Debian for sure works and works and works...

A client sends me an email:
"Do you remember that internal backup server you set up a few years ago? Could you log in and check if everything’s okay? I’m not seeing any errors, but I’m not sure if it’s actually working properly".

I have a vague memory of it - I’m guessing “a few years ago” is quite a high number.
They send me the credentials and I log in:

08:46:41 up 2957 days, 18:01, 1 user, load average: 7.09, 2.34, 1.50

And, surprisingly, no errors.
Everything is working correctly, backups are present, and the disks show no issues whatsoever.
Debian.
Boot date: 14/04/2017.

Impressive.

Want to get rid of license costs of your #VMware environment? Switching to #Proxmox & looking for enterprise features like DRS? #ProxLB (opensource) has you covered!

With ProxLB you extend the features of your Proxmox cluster with DRS alike features including affinity & anti-affinity support, maintenance mode and soon also power management (DPM alike) and automated security patching!

Do not fall for the trap of the ClosedSource operating system underlords. Your computing hardware is perfectly capable of Running a proper operating system maintained currently and run on full open source components

Just go to the following Place read learn and adapt

Stop using closed Source operating systems and software; dechain yourself become unslaved

When you program in C++ use GCC when you write text use markdown. Go full platform independent and full OpenSource and remain dechained

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.

Writing a single bash script that turns a clean #Debian install into an opinionated #selfhosted setup (the one that I use myself) with:

* #Docker
* #dockge as web UI for managing docker-compose stacks
* @tailscale setup to expose deployed services with TSDProxy as separate TS domains
* Restic for data backups

Anybody interested?

@BoxyBSD was always for BSD based systems only. I focussed to push the whole BSD community and to encourage people to try BSD based systems (such like #FreeBSD. #NetBSD, #OpenBSD, etc.) but I'm not sure if it might provide more value to the whole #opensource community by also supporting #Linux systems (such like #Debian, #Ubuntu, #RockyLinux, #SuSe and more).

I'm not sure if the #BoxyBSD project still provides a value for the community right, now.

What do you think?
