Lately I've been looking for a reason (or just an excuse) to run #Debian on my desktop instead of #Fedora . But Fedora is just so good, that I'm not finding one.

Einen ordentlichen Überblick, schön sortiert nach Präferenzen, findet mensch auch auf http://openos.at .
Für Büro eignet sich, finde ich, ein betonstabiles #Debian, wenn mensch dann noch Tweaktools und dergleichen dazu möchte, empfehle ich #MXLinux. Ebenfalls auf der Basis von Debian, aber ohne #Systemd und hervorragend für ältere bis alte Maschinen geeignet: #AntiX .
Ich bevorzuge ein #Arch mit #Xfce- Desktop/ Umgebung.. Hochgratig anpassbar und immer aktuell(st)e Software.

Did you know that 'Salsa', the name of our GitLab development platform was chosen at a restaurant in Hamburg? Written prominently on the menu the connection between sauce/source was realized. #debian

IMPORTANT NOTICE ⚠️

(Boosts appreciated)

The #Dillo package for #Debian will be removed from the repositories in two weeks.

https://github.com/dillo-browser/dillo/issues/230

The current maintainer seems to be unable to continue taking care of it, and I'm not familiar with Debian packages to maintain it myself.

Is there a Debian maintainer who could help us by adopting it? We already have a working package:

https://salsa.debian.org/debian/dillo/-/merge_requests/1

Jedes mal, wenn ich auf einem #Debian basierten System aufräume und ein "apt autoremove" eingebe, schaue ich danach aus dem Fenster, ob das KFZ noch da steht...

Heya, I'm Zak. Linux & Gaming nerd from the midwest. Casual with most things in life and just here to vibe, really.

I daily drive Debian and am slowly getting back into video games & emulation after a few years away from those hobbies.

Not much else to say! Nice to meet you. 💙 #VideoGames #Nintendo #LinuxGaming #Debian #KDE #Wrestling #WWE #AEW

Email received a few days ago: "We need to know which version of SSH is installed on the server, as we want to ensure it is not vulnerable to external attacks." My response: "Don’t worry, SSH is accessible ONLY via VPN, and I am the only one with access to that VPN—activated only when needed—so there is no way for there to be any issues, regardless of the version used."

Email received this morning: "We’re not interested; you must provide the SSH version installed and, if it's not the latest, ensure us of the update date."
My response: "Sorry, could you explain the rationale? SSH is not exposed, it’s not listening on any public IP."
Their reply: "Provide the version."
My response: "OpenSSH_9.7, LibreSSL 3.9.0, on OpenBSD."
Their reply: "This is not considered secure. It must be OpenSSH_9.2p1 Debian-2+deb12u3."
My response: "It’s not Debian; it’s OpenBSD."
Their reply: "So the systems are insecure."

And they claim to be a cybersecurity company...

So, in light of the #Crowdstrike issue today, it keeps me wondering, will #Windows be ready for the desktop soon? Will 2024 be the year of Windows on the desktop, or should I just keep running #Debian like I have done since 1997?

Be great to see a detailed side-by-side comparison of the #Debian and #Windows QA and release processes.

What do I have to do in order to get #Debian Bookworm installed on a #RAID?

Every time I try installing it, grub fails installing the "dummy" bootloader. Installing without RAID works fine.

Happy to announce #gitlab 16.11.6 via https://fasttrack.debian.net

https://opencollective.com/debian-gitlab/updates/gitlab-16-11-6-latest-upstream-security-release

We started out with an aim to package gitlab as a native package in #debian. We managed to get a single version in debian stable, but could not keep it updated since upstream provides security updates only for 3 months and Debian stable releases needs to be supported for around 2 years.

Since the nodejs dependencies grew exponentially, we had to move gitlab to contrib section from main.

#XMPP #community sprint comes to an end

Developers of #Dino @dino, #Kaidan @kaidan, #Libervia @Goffi, #Monal @Monal, #Prose @prose, #Renga (#HaikuOS) and even #Debian and #ejabberd met in #Berlin to work on e.g. "#XEP-0394: #MessageMarkup", #OMEMO, and A/V calls.

Thanks to the #XSF @xmpp for sponsoring yesterday's dinner and very big thanks to #Wikimedia Deutschland e.V. @wikimediaDE for hosting us! 🙏

It turns out this time its not even a bug, it is intended behaviour! #Element apparently simply doesn't support #Firefox ESR, which is what I use on #Debian, so I guess I just won't use #Matrix on my laptop anymore.

One of the devs argues they cannot support a browser release that is one year old. Why are modern developers so scared of stable software? Why does everything need to be new and changed? It's so dumb...

Do I understand this correctly that CVE-2024-6409 is irrelevant for #Debian stable based machines? https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2024-6409

Our daily work at #FSFE relies on countless #FreeSoftware projects, ranging from #Debian to #Proxmox and #Ceph to services like #postfix, #rspamd, #mailman, @letsencrypt, #Apache, #Matomo, #Gitea, #Drone, #ansible + many more.
Thank you! ❤ #ilovefs

For more than 20 years, I’ve downloaded files using wget because I could never remember curl options.

It turns out that I was not alone.

@samueloph created a simple wrapper around curl called "wcurl". This is brilliant! And, yes, the name is very intuitive. Best of all, it is already in Debian (and on my system) but it should really be part of the official curl distribution (ping @bagder )

Antes de tirar tu maquina vieja, sea PC o portratil porque ya quedò obsoleta por ser arquitectura de 32 bit y pocos recursos de memoria y micro, instalate #debian 12 de 32 bit con escritorio LXDE. Tenes soporte por 5 años y siempre estamos hablando de Debian, que es un caño.

@SolSoCoG I'll assume that you tried Arch given the #aur mention and you've picked the most intensive one of them all.

Usually #LinuxMint , #zorinos or #Debian would be the first to try.
