Notice: Repository 'http://deb.debian.org/debian trixie InRelease' changed its 'Suite' value from 'testing' to 'stable'

#TIL
`sudo apt clean` can free dozens GB of diskspace within seconds without loosing anything important.
It only deletes cached .deb package files from /var/cache/apt/archives.

Right; mail server upgraded to #debian Trixie; I did it by recreating it in a local VM first; package install to match, and then tested a restore from my encrypted backups - which was a good exercise in its self. Then a dist-upgrade; fixing up Dovecot was the hairiest bit - they've randomly changed the name of a bunch of options. mail_location is now mail_driver/home/path/inbox_path and t…

I needed a Debian 13 LXC container, but proxmox doesn't have one available yet, even though Proxmox 9 in based on Debian 13.
Anyway, I wrote a post explaining how to make a new LXC template for Debian 13 to use with proxmox
#proxmox #lxc #debian13

I can relate to this meme, see replies! :nonbinary_flag: 🏳️‍⚧️ :bisexual_pride:

Powinna obowiązywać zasada, że jeżeli dana paczka ma wiele systemów budowania do wyboru, a dana dystrybucja buduje ją przy pomocy #CMake, to powinna usuwać wszystkie zainstalowane pliki CMake, żeby oprogramowanie tworzone na tej dystrybucji było przenośne.

Well then, I believe this was the first Debian upgrade (from 12 to 13 in a desktop/workstation environment) that just went perfectly well without fighting with some package halfway through the install. (Now to get into the subsystems to see what all changed :) )
Kudos Debian team! Nice work.

The package name "x2gothinclient" can be parsed in two ways:
1. "x2go thin client"
2. "x2 goth in client"
🤪
#x2go #goth #debian

And <sigh/> no, the #debian13trixie upgrade saga isn't (yet) complete. The Gnome file manager -- still known to #debian as 'nautillus', for historical reasons -- was missing on my laptop.

Musste meine #Debian #Trixie Installations-Strategie überdenken. Für #steam brauche ich ja i386 Unterstützung.

Według #FreePG: #ArchLinux,

Yeah, Grandman uses Debian Sid too, but wanted to switch to Stable instead.

Hmm, #debian what was on your mind when you replaced the EOL packages `dstat` with `pcp`?
On freshly installed #trixie instead of a "dumb" command line tool I have several daemons listening on all available interfaces by default (and `/etc/pcp` contains 345(!) files, which I woul…

If you're quick, presumably this won't last long, you'll find the Download link from #Debian's home page returns a 404. Lots of changes for the new stable release in progress.

Putting order on my dotfiles... Actually I have a chaos tbh.

You should not let “slim” restart while performing an apt full-upgrade under X.

I lose some #followers and meet some new ones, so hi to everyone who just #followed me!
I’m in love with #Linux, especially

Hmm that was a fight.
Upgraded my webserver container to #debian trixie - easy (once I'd remembered how many nspawn setup worked).
Updated host Ubuntu VM - easy.
It reminds me it's still on #Ubuntu 22.04 and I should upgrade to 24.04 ...erm sure..
hmm, no networking...

According to #FreePG right now: #ArchLinux, #Debian, #Fedora, #NixOS and #Ubuntu. Now #Gentoo joins that list, except that instead of silently making intrusive patching on top of GnuPG, we provide it as a separate package (app-crypt/freepg), and mark appropriately:
$ gpg --version
gpg (GnuPG) 2.5.13-freepg

It was inevitable something would break; Cura 5.10 as an AppImage crashes on Debian 13.

Time to start debugging I guess instead of printing.

Widzisz, że osoba z adresem e-mail #Debian .org opiekuje się paczkami #BLAS w #Gentoo, i myślisz sobie: "jak fajnie, że dystrybucje współpracują…"

I realized the package «Telegram-Desktop» isn't anymore in Trixie's reposiory... Well I shall use the web version instead.

I think #footiMac is nearing its limit for what I'm asking of it. Between Mastodon and being a nginx relay for three Youtube streams... it's disk access is running at 70-80% constantly.
I'm not sure that I can upgrade it internally in any way that would make a big difference.
Might be time to find a new hand-me-down computer to press into service!
#SelfHost #Mastodon #Nginx #Debian

upgraded to #Debian #Trixie today.
Did not check if #VirualBox is compatible yet.
Now using #GnomeBoxes

There should be a policy that when a package provides multiple build systems for itself, and you're building it with #CMake, you should always remove all installed CMake files to make software developed on your platform portable.

When you see that a person with #Debian .org e-mail address is the maintainer of BLAS packages in #Gentoo: "what a nice collaboration…"
When you realize said person just took #GSoC money in 2019, and disappeared immediately afterwards: …

Another post on #Quansight PBC blog: "BLAS/LAPACK #packaging"
#BLAS and #LAPACK are the standard libraries for linear algebra. The original implementation, often called Netlib LAPACK, developed since the 1980s, nowadays serves primarily as the origin of the standard interface, the reference implementation and a conformance test suite. The end users usually use optimized implementations of the same interfaces. The choice ranges from generically tuned libraries such as OpenBLAS and BLIS, through libraries focused on specific hardware such as Intel® oneMKL, Arm Performance Libraries or the Accelerate framework on macOS, to ATLAS that aims to automatically optimize for a specific system.
The diversity of available libraries, developed in parallel with the standard interfaces, along with vendor-specific extensions and further downstream changes, adds quite a bit of complexity around using these libraries in software, and distributing such software afterwards. This problem entangles implementation authors, consumer software authors, build system maintainers and distribution maintainers. Software authors generally wish to distribute their packages built against a generically optimized BLAS/LAPACK implementation. Advanced users often wish to be able to use a different implementation, more suited to their particular needs. Distributions wish to be able to consistently build software against their system libraries, and ideally provide users the ability to switch between different implementations. Then, build systems need to provide the scaffolding for all of that.
I have recently taken up the work to provide such a scaffolding for the Meson build system; to add support for BLAS and LAPACK dependencies to Meson. While working on it, I had to learn a lot about BLAS/LAPACK packaging: not only how the different implementations differ from one another, but also what is changed by their respective downstream packaging. In this blog post, I would like to organize and share what I have learned.
