I did not expect mounting USB drives in #debian #linux to be the hard part of this project, but
I successfully cut simple, nested and "dashed" objects on the #scanncut using #inkscape only (ie no #brother software other than the cutter itself) ("dashed" meaning I made the line dashed in inkscape and it came out perforated on the device)
As a note to future users (me):
1. Each svg *layer* shows up as a single *object* on the device. Each device-object is effectively already grouped regardless of what the inkscape-object was doing.
2. Perforated more than you think you need.

Después de muuuuchos años (donde muchos mayor o igual a 20) alternando entre #Debian y #Arch va tocando explorar otros mundos.

Since the previous release Guix has added 12,525 new packages and 29,932 packages have been updated.
- #KDE Plasma and a #declarative configuration service
- There are around 40 new system services to choose from such as Forgejo Runner and RabbitMQ
- Full-source bootstraps of the #Zig and #Mono their compilers are now available
- Other major updates include GCC 15.2.0, Emacs 30.2, Icecat and Librewolf 140, LLVM 21.1.8 and Linux-libre 6.17.12.
- Contributing teams building packages for areas including #openscience, #hpc, #electronics, #python, #astronomy and #rust
Read all about it on the blog and try out Guix now!

Ella/LaNo me acuerdo si comenté algo sobre esto pero bueno. El otro día decidí instalarme en mi portátil Windows 11 porque unos programas que uso para meter mis juegos de PS2 y PS1 en el disco duro de la PS2 Fat en Linux no sabía manejarlos
Por otro lado, en mi pc de escritorio, en donde tengo Debian 12 (me fui al 13 pero las dependencias me daba problemas con algunos programas que uso mucho e hice dowgrade). Pero estoy pensando en irme a Ubuntu para no tener que configurar cosas manualmente tan continuo. Por que mint no? Quiero Gnome si o sí e instalarlo en mint requiere mucha configuración y para eso me quedo en Debian. (Alguien me dijo que me pusiera Arch pero jaja no gracias)
Vale, pues al final durante el fin de semana aprendí a usar los programas e incluso con Chatgpt le he podido poner interfaz gráfica (austera pero funcional) con sh y oye tan bien
Ahora tengo el dilema de si dejar Windows 11 en el portátil o ponerle alguna distribución de gnu Linux
Pues bueno, os enseñaré como funciona la interfaz porque aunque la haya hecho Chatgpt cumple bastante bien con su función
Para quien tenga curiosidad. Los programa son hdldump y cue2pops. En Windows tienen gui nativa pero en Linux es todo terminal. Pero con el script de Chatgpt ahora en Linux también tienen
Leo vuestras opiniones 🥰

(disclaimer: this opinion could perhaps have spent more time in the oven)
Over time the aspect of #Debian that has mattered to me most is the community, and how welcoming and awesome some of it is. This is something to be treasured.
On the other hand, this stands in stark contrast to the subtext of just about any intra-project communication I see now. We are not civil, kind, or patient with each other.
I think this is a serious problem. More so than most technical matters du jour.
Well, I set up a machine to test it. #Debian 13 with the telnetd daemon running on inetd. To me it looks like the vulnerability allows me to login without any password authentication. Initially, I believed a password authentication is still required. But this makes #CVE GCVE-1-2026-0007 even more concerning.
OK, TIL (Today I Learned):
If "apt install" tells you "after this installation, XX GB additional disk space will be used" – that means that YOU SHOULD LOOK if that's available. Because, APT DOES NOT – it simply … well, stops working when the disk is full 🤦♂️
Have fun then cleaning up. Glad I ran a Timeshift backup immediately before…
(EDIT: it was `apt` in my case, not `apt-get`. But such a thing simply should not happen at all.)

One of the upstream projects I maintain in #Debian is guile-gcrypt,
and I noticed there was a new upstream version in #Guix but I could not update my git repository, as the platform hosting it, notabug.org, seems to be going through some rough "404 page not found" times.
Because it is packaged in Guix, I knew there was a very good chance it was also archived on #SoftwareHeritage and sure enough, I was able to download and refresh my local git repository, and even verify the latest signed tag!

The PAM Duress is a module designed to allow users to generate 'duress' passwords that when used in place of their normal password will execute arbitrary scripts.
This functionality could be used to allow someone pressed to give a password under coercion to provide a password that grants access but in the background runs scripts to clean up sensitive data, close connections to other networks to limit lateral movement, and/or to send off a notification or alert (potentially one with detailed information like location, visible wifi hot-spots, a picture from the camera, a link to a stream from the microphone, etc). You could even spawn a process to remove the pam_duress module so the threat actor won't be able to see if the duress module was available.

ProxLB 1.1.11 was released, focusing on deeper integration and smarter balancing for Proxmox VE clusters. This version introduces a beta integration with Proxmox’s native HA and affinity/anti-affinity rules (please report any kind of bugs!), allowing ProxLB to work seamlessly with existing placement constraints instead of duplicating them.
The balancing behavior has also been improved: operators can now prefer smaller or larger VMs during placement, and node memory reservations are respected to reduce overcommitment.
Overall, 1.1.11 makes ProxLB more predictable, safer, and better suited for production use, while paving the way for future HA-aware scheduling improvements.

9to5Linux Weekly Roundup - January 11th, 2026
Geekery: #linux #debian #X11 #xterm
In 2025 I switched back to original xterm.
I had previously been using alacritty for several years, after a period of looking for a term-em that actually did all the things I wanted and wasn't too much of a pain in configuration or RAM use.
And before that I used rxvt (or urxvt) for about two decades.
Why did I switch this time? Because I did a quick review of about 40 term-ems in the course of a week, and was utterly astonished to find that xterm had acquired all the features that I actually wanted to use.
In the same way that I care about the fuel-efficiency of a car more than whether it's nominally a standard motor or a non-plugin-hybrid, I don't care about whether or not the term-em takes advantage of the graphics coprocessor to do the job. Do letters show up real fast? Great, I don't care how they got there.
But I want to be able to specify the fonts that I like, not have strange boxes show up when someone writes their name in a non-roman character set, use a bunch of colors, not show me the scrollbar but always have scrolling available, and not have weird bugs.
Since xterm is the only term-em I can approximately guarantee everything has been tested against, a bug that shows up as a result of using a particular term-em is least likely to manifest with xterm. Pragmatics.
I would like to extend kudos to the authors of Terminology, a term-em which, on first run, pops up a slider and asks you to adjust it until the font size is comfortable. That's worthy of a Galactic Prize for Extremely Obvious Cleverness.

The hard drives on my Debian machines have an ugly tendency to fill up over time, with stuff I don't need: old logs, kernel images, that sort of thing.
I literally can't code for shit. So I got an AI assistant* to help me solve this routine problem in finite time.
I stuck the script inside a blog post that I wrote mainly as a reference to myself. Please feel free to point out if I've missed a much more obvious solution.

Before I get dozens of replies about it being insecure: in theory, it is, but it's not accessible from the outside. It's isolated within its own network and is only able to connect and fetch backups for 'extreme disaster recovery' (only at specific times, restricted by specific firewall rules). It served its purpose today, and tomorrow, it might be even more useful.

If I hear #GNU/Linux I think about #debian etc.

Heya! I've been daily-driving it for nearly a month on my main at-home laptop (Thinkpad X260).
It's pretty great! ZFS is darn near bulletproof, and after some initial challenges of getting wifi and GUI configured, it was pretty "boring"... until I tried upgrading to 15.0, lol
Figured out how to roll back to 14.3, and I'm now waiting for 15.1 before I try again (although I believe the issues I had have now been resolved, but I'm still going to wait ;)
Package availability is amazing (better than Debian in some cases!), and most things compile without any issues, although some things that don't have very well-written Makefiles are iffy and I got stuck.
Been having fun with Dosbox-X, playing games I loved 20-30 years ago. I couldn't get the Linux version of Kerbal Space Program to run under compat_linux, but I didn't really expect it to.
#OpenBSD definitely gets my vote for noob-friendly #BSD, since it has X11 in the base install, and it configures itself, but I now have sway (Wayland) running under #FreeBSD just as if I were still on Linux, so as long as someone is willing to skim through the pertinent parts of the handbook, it's a great OS.
The only downsides to #FreeBSD vs. Linux is that S3 resume takes a little longer (8 seconds instead of 1-3 seconds), and I have occasional hiccups, which I'm sometimes not able to recover from. Loading some websites in Firefox will make everything hang for several seconds at times (even though I'm launching Firefox via nice (1)), and there are some times that sway never quite recovers from S3 suspend, although that's rare. The good thing is that sometimes it will catch the power button and shut down cleanly, and even when it doesn't, #ZFS is so bulletproof that it just takes it all in stride.
There are occasional Linuxisms that feel a bit odd, like some of my packages (the swaync notification system and the duckstation console emulator are notable examples) require #pulseaudio of all things, which sometimes eats up my CPU. That's... really weird to me. I liked how minimal sndio on OpenBSD is.
Both major BSDs have very sane syntax for the config file that governs Wifi access points, and that's very refreshing to me after using a TUI to join networks on #Debian (although it's definitely possible to uninstall #NetworkManager on Debian and use the native interface config files, but they're not as nice/simple as the BSDs').
One really fun (if a bit cartoonish) way of comparing the BSD philosophy to the Linux philosophy is to look at doas vs sudo, specifically man doas.conf, then man sudoers.
The manpage for the sudoers file is pretty long and convoluted, as is the syntax for the file itself. doas.conf is super brief and to-the-point, and its manpage is pretty concise.
I think once they add the GUI setup tool to the FreeBSD setup wizard, that will be a real game-changer.
P.S., I haven't really daily-driven OpenBSD in a while, but I'm planning on getting an adapter so I can power my OpenBSD Thinkpad X200t off of a power bank, instead of the very dodgy OEM battery, so I can experiment with OpenBSD some more. I know the latest version has fixed the problems I was having with Emoji support, so I think that OS deserves another look. With the little bit of experimentation I've done in the last week, I've been pleasantly surprised with even Firefox' performance on that little Core 2 Duo. The only bummer about OpenBSD to me is the lack of ZFS or any other modern filesystem, so the occasional power losses or hang-ups become much more dangerous.

I installed from scratch, instead of upgrading, a #Debian #Trixie at my office computer as my '/'harddisk decided to die unexpectely..
Everything went all right but a device (actually a #meshtastic dev) I used trough serial usb was not creating the coresponging #ttyUSB0 device file. It seems the braille display pack.,which is now installed by defualt,was avoiding the file to be created. So I just removed the brltty package as suggested in https://askubuntu.com/questions/1403705/dev-ttyusb0-not-present-in-ubuntu-22-04 and everything's working again
I checked in on my #Debian 13 system today. Everything is working nicely. Hard to go wrong with Stable.

Compilando Lagrange en Debian Sid.
gemini://z3r0.maverick-hq.org/gemlog/2025/2025-12-14-compilando-lagrange-en-debian-sid.gmi
I keep thinking I'm going to return to Debian Stable after a long, long time away, but Aeon (and by extension OpenSUSE Tumbleweed) is so good, it's becoming harder and harder to do it.
I'm going to do a series of blog posts after the #Vizio trial is over about my upgrade to my #NovaCustom laptop & a much newer #Debian & all the stuff I went through to make it happen.
I'm starting this thread simply to have a place to keep all my ideas about those posts publicly, in case they are immediately useful.
I suspect I won't have time to engage in replying on this thread until circa 2026-02-15, which is when I plan to start the blog posts.
TL;DR: it's going pretty good.

Some photos from the event ( adding alt text with tuba seems broken )

A wide shot shows a large room filled with people seated at red-clothed tables. The room appears to be a conference or meeting hall, with dark wood paneling along the walls and a large, white, blank projection screen at the front. Most of the people are facing forward, presumably toward a speaker or presentation, and many are looking at laptops or taking notes. Water bottles are visible on each table, along with some papers and other small items. The room is brightly lit by overhead fluorescent lights, and a large pillar is visible on the left side of the frame.

A wide-shot indoor photograph depicts a presentation or meeting in progress within a conference room. A projection screen displays the word "Debian" in large white font, with a red circular logo to the left. Two people are standing near the screen, facing a group of seated attendees. The attendees are gathered around several round tables covered with red tablecloths. The room features wood-paneled walls and a drop ceiling with recessed lighting, and a dark rug is visible on the floor.
The text on the screen reads: "Debian". People are seated at tables with visible cups and plates. Several individuals are wearing collared shirts, and one person is wearing a bright green shirt. The room appears to be dimly lit, with the projection screen providing the primary source of illumination.

A group of people are gathered in a room for a presentation or lecture. A person stands in front of a screen, seemingly speaking to the audience. The audience members are seated in rows of chairs facing the speaker, with several tables in front of them. Most people are looking toward the speaker.
The room has brown walls with vertical panels. There are bottles of water on the tables. A small portion of code is visible on the screen reading "text: 'This is just a test sentence'". The people in the audience are dressed casually and some have bags next to them.

Free Software that I rely on. One per day.
Day 9:
YunoHost
This is technically more of a distribution than an individual software. There's a portal, and a large volunteer packaging effort to create apps for it. And a large catalog of applications already packaged.
I definitely rely on it. So I'm counting it.
YunoHost is how I have Wordpress (which I've already mentioned) installed -- along with other software I haven't got to yet.
It is based on Debian Linux: a particular install with applications already configured to work on it, pretty close to "plug and play". It's like the packaging systems for Linux desktop systems -- but for the Internet.
It makes managing a web application site SO much easier. I decided to adopt it as the basis of my "virtual studio" instead of trying to write something new.
