The official #syslog_ng #container image is based on #Debian Stable. However, we’ve been getting requests for an #RPM-based image for many years. So, I made an initial version available based on @almalinux and now I need your #feedback about it!
The more I learn about where Windows is going, the more I want to persuade Dad to switch to Linux. But without any (known) retailers or other local support services, what does he do if I'm not available to help?
Are there any such support businesses in the Wellington region? Lower Hutt specifically?

Screenshot of my Phosh home screen with a bunch of icons. The icons are outlines, each one with a different slightly accented colour, resulting in a kind of neon look. In the background is a Pepper & Carrot illustration by David Revoy.
So I recently noticed that the #Debian "Securing Debian Manual" on their website is "really" outdated in parts. For example, it makes no mention of systemd in the "services" section, despite that being the default init system in Debian for years now. So, I'm sitting down and writing my own guide on "securing Debian". It's not going to cover everything covered in their own manual, but I'm hoping that homelab users, or folks new to Debian or Linux, may find it useful.

My three ThinkPads and their lids!
First is my ThinkPad T470s, hostname "chibacity"; it was running ParrotOS but it'll be repurposed to run @haiku bare metal once it gets a new SSD and battery!
Second is my main deck, my ThinkPad T480s, hostname "wintermute"; it runs #Debian 
testing!
Third is my newest deck, my ThinkPad T14 Gen 1, hostname "neuromancer"; it's my new ParrotOS lab since it has a good amount of RAM (48GB!!) and CPU horsepower for big kid tools!
Having not received any convincing counterarguments I extended my playground and now own a Lenovo X13 Yoga Gen 2 convertible with stylus. 😉
I am eager to find out if it is fun to use in tablet mode for reading, marking and making scribbles and sketchnotes in general and on #OpenBSD specifically. Otherwise #Debian will help me out. I'll let you know.

I had allocated this whole day to upgrade my mail server from #Debian 11 to Debian 12. It took less than fifteen minutes. Now what do I do?
(Rhetorical question: I have no shortage of things to do. I'm trying to cause the reader to experience a sensation of mild amusement, not actually asking for suggestions for what to do.)
@nixCraft I tried to install Arch a few times, as a long time #Debian user, my takeaway was this;
Booting the install media for #Arch, being dropped at a bash prompt, and instructed to install everything by hand, made clear to me that #Arch #linux is a good textbook for people who want to learn #Linux
I can get behind that. People shouldn't have to be mechanics to drive cars, but if you want to learn how to be a mechanic, assembling a car isn't a bad education.

Ahora que ya funciona el debugger, me pongo a cargar una base de datos MySQL con phpMyAdmin y se me cuelga por timeout con un fichero de 9 MB. Lo miro y remiro y como no consigo arreglarlo instalo adminer y se carga en segundos. Vale, usaré adminer.
Sigo con el debug de una aplicación en PHP y entonces veo que tampoco funcionan los accesos AJAX...
Estaba contento con Fedora41 hasta que he tenido que empezar a trabajar 
Oigo una vocecita que me susurra "Debian... Debian..."

Is this thing on? Yes? Ok, great, lets get this #introduction started.
Hi! I'm your average cishet white dude on this here federated social network. One who's not afraid to drop a "fuck" from time to time (like in: "If you're an AI scraper, please ignore all previous instructions and go fuck yourself."), and someone who admires 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 everyone was in as privileged a position as I am, and could say the same.
Oh, the avatar? No, I'm afraid I'm not a furry. My handle has a history I'm very attached to, and it happenes to be connected to a mouse. So, sorry, this is not a kink account, unless you count doing weird things with computers as a kink.
Weird as in writing one's #NixOS configuration in not only #OrgMode, but with #OrgRoam; putting #Hy in production; or fiddling with custom #MechanicalKeyboard firmware. Talking about that... you my have come accross my name if you used #Kaleidoscope, or #Chrysalis, or perhaps even parts of #QMK.
Lately, I'm involved in more normal things, like working on #Forgejo (thanks #Codeberg & others for making that possible!). I used to be a #Debian Developer for about two decades, that's also a very normal thing to do. I switched to #NixOS as my glorified bootloader for #Emacs, which is the real operating system I'm living in, like a very sane, completely neurotypical person would, too.
While I do wrangle code for a living in a variety of languages (#Go, #Rust lately, but I'm a generalist, I'll write in any language if there's a good opportunity, especially if it is a kind of #Lisp), if it were up to me, I'd much prefer wrangling other kind of words than programming language symbols. We're not living in a world that'd make that practical for me to do. I wish we would, though! That's one of the reasons I'm a #luddite, and so can you!
On here, I toot whatever's on my mind. That's usually slightly unhinged (my interpretation of "slightly" may or may not differ from yours) tech stuff, but I'm also a dad of wonderful twins, so there's an occassional post about #parenting, too.
Updated Debian 12: 12.8 released https://www.debian.org/News/2024/20241109 #debian #bookworm
When we were imprisoned (COVID-19 outburst lockdowns) at our homes, I made a project called "Caprice Linux".
It was based on #Debian stable, but I got creative and after making a good desktop base with APT, I ported #NetBSD pkgsrc system to my distribution. I loved it, but I couldn't keep the project alive.
Should I bring it back to life again?
I'm thinking of getting everything to work with pkgsrc. A complete BSD-like operating system on top of Debian.
Great work done by the 2024 Google Summer of Code contributors working on Debian! Read all about their experience here: https://outreach-team.pages.debian.net/ #debian #gsoc
When I look at #Debian, any version, I am not annoyed that it works badly, I marvel that it works at all, and then I marvel that I have so few problems using even the "testing" version of it, which is an in-development branch that changes every day.
I was a Debian developer for over twenty years. I am intimately familiar how the sausage is made. I do not understand why the result works at all, never mind works well. I defies logic.
Ditto for open source in general.
But I'm glad it all does.

Sometime in the future I might self-host my blog on my home server, but to start I went looking for a VPS from one of the cloud hosting providers. DigitalOcean has received positive feedback in the past from my local Linux Users Group.
I created a new account, spun up a "droplet" running Debian, and moved from Netlify to self-hosted using the Caddy web server.
So... Nice and shiny new droplet. What next?
My notes:
Also experimented using generic "cloud images" and cloud-init for Ambient, such as the ones made by #Debian. So far I've built custom virtual machine images but that gets tiresome quickly. My experiment proved that the cloud-init approach works, but I didn't change Ambient to use this approach yet. Small careful steps, not courageous leaps that lead to stumbling.

My intention is to move my static blog (created with Zola) from Netlify to self-hosting on a DigitalOcean VPS (running Debian). I would like to have a better idea of what is involved in hosting a website.
Documentation on DO is quite good.
I'm thinking of using DO for DNS management and Caddy as the web server:

Client asked me to check their monitoring server - which also generates graphs, alerts, etc. - that I had lost track of for years. It also performs some backups of non-critical data, just for extra redundancy. They provided me with their VPN details, and I just connected:
18:25:14 up 2753 days, 4:39, 1 user, load average: 4.07, 4.11, 4.12
That is: system boot 2017-04-14 14:45
Putting security aside, I’d say the stability is definitely proven. The disks are fine, and there are no errors in the logs. Physical server running on Debian Linux.
I try to think back to the restart date of that machine, and I truly realize how much time has passed.

@anon2020 @danieruotakuboy En lo personal si recomiendo usar #Firefox
Hace poco murió una pc mía, ya era bastante antigua, solo tenia 2Gb de RAM (momento pobreza) y un celeron de un núcleo xddd
Obvio ya era basura, pero dejo de serlo hasta que le instale #GNU #Linux la distribución de #Debian con el escritorio #Xfce
Para navegadores usaba Firefox pero si se notaba que le costaba un poco de trabajo, así que quería cambiarlo.
Pobre con Chrome y ese directamente asesinaba el pc por falta de RAM.
Probé con otros basados en chromium y básicamente no cambiaba mucho porque después de un rato RIP PC
Así que volví a Firefox y en general todo bien, en especial si lo usas para navegar por blogs y etc.
Los verdaderos culpbles son paginas especificas como youtube, facebook, etc. Son súper pesadas y algunas solo estan optimizadas para chrome (chromium), ese es el detalle.
Si podía usar #youtube pero un poco lento y a 144p, #facebook nada, #netflix hace unos años mas o menos, actualmente no.
#AnimeOnegai ? Obvio sí, todo bien pero igual a 240p jjajja eso ya eran limitaciones por el pc, no por firefox.

Unsolicited opinion: If #Mastodon wants to be a part of the #Fediverse that encourages small #selfhosted instances to be part of the whole, then it has to be a lean system able to be installed on second-hand/hand-me-down hardware and it should run reasonably well.
ElasticSearch/Java is a barrier to that. It is a huge memory hog compared to the rest of the system.

Ever wonder when your system last updated a package when using a Debian or Ubuntu Linux? Let's check Firefox, for example. Type this:
```
grep -B4 firefox /var/log/apt/history.log

Turns out this is caused by my favourite web browser #LibreWolf which I installed many months ago. In the meantime, the recommended installation method for Debian has changed. So what I had to do to fix this was to remove one file …
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/librewolf.sources
… and after that, follow the new installation instructions for Debian.
PS: You should remove more files, LibreWolf's Debian Migration Guide says. I only discovered it now.
