This meme is probably going to trigger the #Ubuntu purists, you know, the so-called Snap elitists.
I oppose Snap and Ubuntu, and as a Debian and Secureblue user, I consider Snap unnecessary bloat.

So i've installed #CachyOS on my main PC and must say that it feels really great. After over a decade on #Ubuntu and/or #Debian based distros,

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

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

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

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

#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…

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

updating to Mastodon v4.5.3!

#AskFedi, Linux / LMDE / Cinnamon department:
I have made a ".desktop" file (to launch a .sh file), and it works (yay).
Now I would ideally like to have it sat on the "panel" for ease of launching! Is that possible?
The programs in the start menu offer me " Add to panel", but this doesn't. And it doesn't seem to want to be dragged there either.
Ideas?

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

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

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!

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.

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.
#nodejs #debian

#Debian #GrapheneOS #Laptop #TikTok

Where i post from!
#DebianTrixie #Debian13 #Debian #Linux

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? 🤷‍♂️

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.

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!
