just looking at my archive of postgresql backups over the past 2 years of my mastodon instance.
In December 2023 just shy of 1 year since spinning it up, the compressed gz file of the database was 600MB.
By Aug 2024 it was 988MB
In April 2025 it was 1500MB
Today it is 1800MB.
That is a 2 user instance. Not small!

My new SATA SSD arrives today. Time to start some new OS tests.
I'll probably start with Debian 13. I'm already running it on a desktop, but I need to check in with it on this laptop.

#FreeSoftware versions of Vagrant is no longer maintained. Vagrant was one of the methods we suggested when people are learning #debian #packaging. I liked the way of sharing a Vagrantfile when doing a workshop for many people.
As I was preparing for another packaging workshop for #MiniDebConf at Navi Mumbai, I gave Incant a try. It is a replacement for Vagrantfile like declaration of machines and uses #Incus as its backend.

The #Debian installer appears to be just as buggy as it was when I last did a from-scratch install on new hardware 10 years ago.
Still no way to tell the partition manager: "Start everything from scratch, I screwed up", so you have to drop into expert mode and do sfdisk --delete to get installer to not screw up royally if you need a second try.
And I never did get the network going during the installer. Can't find firmwares that are clearly there.🤷

So, my #NovaCustom laptop arrived last week. I sadly have not had time to do the install until today. I'm going to work on it today and I'll post on this thread in case anyone is bored on a Sunday and wants to watch me struggle to install #Debian — having not installed it from scratch in nearly a decade.
This might be fun — if for no other reason than the lolz of an aging technologist struggling with installing a #Linux-based system.
You have my permission to laugh. Follow along today here.
Hey, at least I still remeber to verify the sha256sum of an image before doing an install…
I appear to have exchanged keys with Neil McGovern and Steve McIntyre, both of whom I trust to have not signed this #Debian CD/USB install key without being sure, so I think I can use this image.
Reminds me I gotta generate a new GPG key.

@jarrodu @lexinova @delta There are tons of moving parts in the diagrams: https://chatmail.at/doc/relay/overview.html#chatmail-relay-dependency-diagram
When I see a bunch of moving parts like that, I get cold feet, that it'll be as easy as people make out. Is there a Youtube/Peertube video on this? If it's as easy as you claim, then I'd like to see a from-scratch install on #Debian 12, using python's uv for the package manager of chatrelay (in a uv venv). Including sending initial testing messages proving it's working in production.
This is the kind of thing that you have to expect in a rolling distro like Tumbleweed (and by extension Aeon).
I was seeing issues like this in #Fedora #Silverblue, and that's one of the factors that prompted me to move to Aeon.
At times like these, #Debian starts to look good.
Proxmox Backup Server 4.1 released with user-based traffic limiting, configurable parallelism for verify jobs, bandwidth rate limiting for S3 endpoints
https://proxmox.com/en/about/company-details/press-releases/proxmox-backup-server-4-1
When bugs begin creeping into my workflow, I start looking at moving back to #Debian. It's a friendly port in a storm. (Apologies for the mixed metaphor)
@contrapunctus @badri@scholar.social @badri@snipetteville.in @bodil @ravi @sahil RMS originally did not recommend #Debian because non-free section was provided on official repos even though it was not installed by default. Recently we started including non-free-firmware ( a subset of non-free section) on official installation media too. Firmware is run on the external device and not your main CPU, this how firmware is differentiated from software.
I am wondering if it is only #Debian or #KDE or that things have deteriorated so much in #Mozilla #Firefox to the point that I can barely use it:
from time to time can't move tabs, clicks in the top bar stop working completely until I restart it
sometimes the text cursor disappear or appears in wrong position different from where the text is actually inserted in textarea/input
this makes it really stressful and unpractical to use, even if it has been the browser I use my whole life

After some months in which i was stressed with some "university promotion exam" (which ended well btw). Finally, i've started updating the computers I use to #Debian 13 #Trixie.
Everything perfect with firsts.
Minir updates i needed KDE removed my single click preference hehehe and i restored it and some strange minot thing going on with accents "keyed" too slow in emacs (if somebuddy has it tell me and i link/write the fix) related with previous kde5 config)
Now is the time to submit a talk for the declarative and minimalistic computing room at FOSDEM
https://lists.fosdem.org/pipermail/fosdem/2025q4/003662.html
If you're into #guix or #declarative #linux then there's lots of interesting areas.
Some ideas:
* building and configuring #guix and #guile #scheme - how particular services are used.
* #guix and containerization / #docker
* deploying #guix services in the cloud / on servers
* running #guix on a hosted Linux distribution like #debian #ubuntu or #suse
* managing development work flows
And so much more ...
It's a super friendly room so submit your talk now! Or talk to @pjotrprins

In fairness, it is not "just booting". The screenshot shows exim and an unattended-upgrades script started up.
The world has still yet to shake the idea that every single server in the normal case needs a standalone, monolithic, local queue/delivery, mail system running; it seems.

#Linux friends!
My goal is to have CasaOS running in my home
I was told Ubuntu was the 'best' distro for this (??)
I'm loading it on my old SkullCanyon NUC
Apparently 24.04 LTS seems to have an incompatibility with video drivers
I can't get the GPU to work (at all)
What other distro should I try? #Debian? #Fedora? #Mint (Debian Edition?)
Keep in mind I don't really care which distro I use. #CasaOS is my only goal so I'm looking for the one that is most compatible with my 7. year old Intel NUC.
If you're using #Debian 13 and you're wondering why the `ping` command has stopped working for non-root users... `apt install linux-sysctl-defaults` will fix that for you.

Got #WebP to load in #Inkscape!
I thought for a long time that Inkscape simply doesn't support WebP, but that isn't true. The problem, rather, was that the gdk-pixbuf loader for WebP was not installed on my system.
People using #Debian or another distro based on it need to install the package named “webp-pixbuf-loader”. That's all you need to do; merely installing the package will enable WebP support in Inkscape.
This should also enable WebP thumbnails in #Nautilus, if you use #Gnome.

I'm running some tests on my old and trusted Raspberry Pi A+.
I've installed Raspbian - latest release, lite version. At the prompt, it's using 92 MB of RAM, mainly due to systemd and NetworkManager. As soon as you use it (even just for apt), it starts swapping and becomes almost unusable. It took 5 minutes just to install Python.
I tried NetBSD (on the same memory card): 35 MB of RAM used (including Postfix!) and it's totally usable.
Upgraded @linuxmint #LMDE on my daily business machine for the second time. Without a problem, almost perfectly organized process.
Either I've written a lot of articles over the years, or I'm getting old. Or, you know, both.
I went looking for an article I wrote this or last year that touched on the #Debian FTP Master team and instead turned up one from 2010 that I'd completely forgotten about. I have no recollection at all of writing this one for @lwn ...
Age makes you more cautious. I used to carry Debian CD's with me & do all my upgrades while in flight without electricity or Internet — just to test myself I could hack my way out of a screwed up GRUB or problematic #Linux build.
I'm taking my spouse's laptop all the way from #Debian buster to trixie this morning (going through bullseye to bookworm first), & I'm actually nervous. I *think* it's just because it's my spouse's machine.
Ironic thing is upgrades are so much safer these days.
It's been a while I refreshed my pinned #introduction toot, and I figured today will be a fitting day to write a new one.
Hi! Despite the avatar, I'm not a furry
, I'm a boring cishet white dude. Despite my privileged status, I might be considered a "terrorist"
in some weird jurisdictions, and some companies
will consider me a "malicious actor", because I built myself a crawler defense system that serves them an infinite maze of garbage. To them, I say: fuck you. I'm a Vengeful Mouse.
I also have the privilege of being able to admire the human body in all shapes and forms, even such "grotesque" things as a female presenting nipple (like this one: 
, not to be confused with the 
, an entirely different and totally not grotesque thing). I wish this was the norm, rather than a privilege.
I'm a serial drive-by contributor, I have my fingerprints all over the internet. I have code in #QMK, #Kaleidoscope, and #Chrysalis, but I contributed to #Forgejo, #niri, and a whole lot of other things too. I find great joy in playing with new things, and submitting patches or other contributions. I used to be a #Debian developer, I've put #Hy in production, and lately I've been building #NixOS configurations not only as a literate #OrgMode document, with with #OrgRoam. I am extremely normal and neurotypical.
Apart from these very normal things, I use #NixOS to boot into #Emacs, which is the real operating system I use, like a very sane, completely neurotypical person would. I also tend to live-toot (very verbosely) all kinds of shenanigans I'm up to, because I always forget I have a blog.
While I do wrangle code for a living in a variety of languages (in whatever language necessary, I'm a generalist! But if I can choose, I turn to #Rust, although #Lisp languages are also very dear to me), if it were up to me, I'd much prefer wrangling other kinds of words
than programming language symbols. Sadly, we're not living in a world that makes possible, so I had no choice but become a #luddite and so can you.
But I'm not all about tech
! I'm also Dad to wonderful Twins, and Husband to my Wife, who not only puts up with my crazy, but gently
fans the flames too. I may occassionally toot about #parenting, too.
I may or may not have an unhealthy addiction to footnotes
.

@passthejoe Perhaps you can externalize the #macOS installation to an external disk or USB stick, just in case, and benefit from the whole disk for your #Debian install.
Asking for $dayjob:
Is there something like a(n ideally #bootc-based) #immutable distro on #Debian basis, or ideally a way to install Debian that way?
Specifically, they want a containerised base install and to put their own flatpacks atop as needed (the latter step already exists), for a specific use case. Things like layering, A/B updates, etc. would be welcome.
Updated post!
I like to create encrypted storage space to hold the contents of my home directory that is separate from the space that contains the root filesystem. This makes it easier if I decide to re-install Linux on the target system while preserving user data.
With the release of LMDE 7 aka "Gigi" I use the "expert-mode" installer to create a custom 3 partition layout: EFI partition, root partition, and LUKS encrypted home partition:
https://www.dwarmstrong.org/lmde-install-expert-mode/
Onward!
As of Debian 13 Trixie, support for automatically discovering and mounting encrypted filesystems has been moved into the new `systemd-cryptsetup` package.
LMDE 7 - installed via `expert-install-mode` with manually created LUKS partitions - was missing this package. Entries in `crypttab` were not being loaded at boot.
Installing the package before first boot resolved the issue.
LIFE LESSON: Always read the release notes. 🙂

Oh cripes, I just noticed I'm *two* #debian releases behind
I hate upgrading, tho. Besides, I'm not sure I actually want a desktop now. I *LOVE* my work laptop.
Granted, that may largely be because it is monstrous.
home: 6 core 1.5GHz, 8GB, driving 32" and 27" 2k displays
work: 32 core 2.4GHz, 128GB, driving 38" and 32" 4k displays (could actually do 3 32", but I like the 38")
The #it intern that bought that laptop for me 2y ago claims to have spent a good chunk of the $10k no-signature limit on it. So I probably am not buying a replica.
Maybe what I want is a
- laptop with specs better than current desktop
- docking station
- monitor upgrade(s)
- extra docking station for the living room TV
What would a, say 16 core, 32GB, dual 4K #laptop cost?
My tech project for this weekend is to fix the stuff that upgrading to #Debian #Trixie broke. Current status: #procrastinating.
On the 13th of October, 21 years ago, #debiangis was born. Let me remember that time and write some thoughts about it..
