I literally booted Debian for the first time in weeks, to only have two updates waiting, Brave and Signal Desktop.

It is December, so it is time to share my #Warframe2024 report from last year before the 2025 one arrives, and yes, I play on Linux and have since 2023, running Warframe on Debian Trixie.

Fresh #Debian installation:
13 processes
uses 120 MB RAM
1.7 GB used disk
I find this very impressive

so far, so amazingly good. the Dell 5290 has a close keyboard but with a nice haptic response and despite less RAM and similar bogomips to my old ZaReason, everything media has been smooth as glass in #Debian13 - never thought I would say so, but if you are new to pondering Linux for that machine that can't do Win11, for everyday use or science lab stuff unfettered by clouds, I wouldn't go near Ubuntu, you'll be just fine in Debian.

Do people like check the Debian website every 5 minutes to check it hasn't
morphed into another one? Not that I'm one to talk, but some people seriously
need to get a life.

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.

My systemd-networking/firewalld experimenting in a VM now working nicely on the real machine; all that pretty much just worked - especially after I added a missing 'ConfigureWithoutCarrier=on' I'd made a note to do and then forgotten. The main gotcha was the #debian I'd debootsrapped not having the firmware files for the NIC that my internet connection went through.
I then t…

I love Flatpaks.
I hate Flatpaks.
It really is a “Haßliebe” at the moment.
It's *finally* easy to get the latest version of an app. (Although outdated Apps are traditionally a #Debian/#Ubuntu problem.) Using them feels mostly native now.
But they are confusing: You can install an app twice!? The data path is different. And they're still not good with hardware:

Hey #selfhost #mastodon folks! How do I update node.js in the live directory on Debian?
I thought I had written it down somewhere and now can't find it. The install docs at joinmastodon don't help as they're now using apt to install nodejs which is different, i think from when I installed my system.

So I was at node 22.9.0 and mastodon's compiler was complaining that I needed to be at least 22.14 or something… I've used the command at root:
n latest
and
n stable
The first installed v25.2.1
The second installed v24.11.1
now when I do node --version it reports:
v24.11.1
So hopefully the next time I need to do a mastodon upgrade it won’t complain anymore? 🤷♂️

Sometimes I forget I even use Debian, it's so deeply ingrained in my workflow that I can't imagine using anything else. Same goes for Fedora.

If you are stuck on a problem, don't just sit there and think about it; start working!
Trifft auf Mathe und Leben zu.
Ich installiere auch gerade #Debian auf meinem alten iMac und denke nach, was es für meine Produktivität bedeuten würde, wenn Apple gleichgeschaltet wird. Das wird nicht schön.

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!
