Makes me wonder how many similar efforts Canonical/Ubuntu already announced over the years to improved the interaction with Debian – and what became of them.

@fortune@social.linux.pizzaDebian Hint #9: If you need to know what version of Debian you're currently
running, look in /etc/debian_version or use 'lsb_release -sc' command. If you
want to know the codename for that version (for example, 5.0 is codenamed
'Lenny'), check this URL:

@penguin42@mastodon.org.ukWahey! Success on my Javastation Krups, this is a Debian Sarge debootstrapped userspace running over NFS.
#retrocomputing
@grifferz@social.bitfolk.comSigh, DHCPv6 still unusable for an IPv6-only Debian 13 (trixie) netinstall. Gets a lease but drops it almost immediately and doesn't renew.
So, I have to:
- Get a lease
- Switch to the shell to see what the lease is
- Go back to network config and select static network
- Set that address with a netmask of ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:: and a blank gateway
- Proceed with install

TL;DR: Forgejo
Installed Forgejo and configured its native runner from scratch on Debian. Started with Woodpecker, but it turned out unnecessary. Everything now works locally with Docker integration and a working CI workflow.
Edit: added a GitHub backup workflow — every push to main now syncs code and tags to a private mirror repo.

OK, so Debian Trixie has NFSv2 server configured out of the kernel; (it has the client as a module)
@pre@boing.worldThe Python library "YFinance" decided to force an upgrade. They did this by making the old version report a rate-limit error on every request.
Confusing.
Would have been better if they reported a "old version not supported" error or something instead. So that wasted some time.
That upgrade had dependencies which have dependencies upon a newer version of Python, so needed a whole OS upgrade really.
Which failed. Bricking the Rasp PI it was running on.
Oh well, complete rebuild of the whole machine and software it runs from scratch then.
That took all day yesterday. At the end I notice that the touch-screen doesn't touch. Needs drivers.
The drivers haven't been upgraded in six years. They brick the machine again when trying to install them on Debian Trixie.
Luckily, I kept good notes and could rebuild it all again much faster with no mistakes and knowing what to do and all the required custom software changes already made and saved.
So now I spent a whole day on annoying upgrade work because a single Python library decided to break the old version, and my Rasp Pi has no touch-screen. Which isn't ideal for a machine mostly operating as a fancy light switch for all the LED strips in the house.
This happens all the time in software. Millions of man hours wasted, so much hardware dumped because the drivers get abandoned.
In other news: Microsoft abandons Windows 10 any day now. Good luck to everyone faced with doing that lap on the upgrade treadmill.
I still have more work to do to bring up this RaspPi's software to where it was, but it'll have to wait, other things to do. At least it's back to sending me the nightly finance report and controlling the LED strips. If without a touch screen now.
