So, upstream #chromium just switched to a release cycle of every *2 weeks* for a new milestone release. It used to be 1 month.
If you're using chromium in #debian stable/oldstable, don't expect any kind of stability any more.

TIL #Debian does not, by default, auto-manage journalctl logging and /var/cache/apt/archive, and purging flatpak leaves /var/lib/flatpak with GBs of god knows what (cruft from deleted apps?)
Claimed back 7 GB of disk correcting those!

#Python #uv users on #Debian: I've been using this setup:
apt install extrepo
extrepo enable uv
apt install uv
That worked perfectly for all local users using standard Debian package management …

I am glad that more projects are trying to boost their progress and possibly enhance quality using AI, nice to see #Debian on that side, even tho I am long time RHEL-family distros user.
I wonder what all those raging ppl around would feel, if for example Linus Torvalds used AI for Linux development...
Oh wait

Interessant für den Restbestand :-)

Wow that #debian mail list sure is jumping, huh? Disconcerting amount of pro LLM and AI voters on there.

I completely missed that #Plesk released the automated tool process a few days ago to upgrade from #Debian 12 to 13 via dist-upgrade! Looks like I'll be busy this morning!

I'm very disappointed in #Debian tonight. We had the option to do the right thing, and we blew it.

anyone got any ai-free #debian forks?

Dear #lazyweb
Frustratingly a recent #debian update broke #kodi's ability to play #1080p videos. I …

oh! now here is karma in action: that vanished cursor on my rescued iMac 11,2 using #Debian #gnome and #Firefox esr, dig this, ONLY happens when I load my mstdn.ca home page! And it totally kills the mouse cursor, the only cure I have found is not just log out, but a full reboot!

Zero days since someone created nonportable software by relying on #Debian customizations.

I do abhor the option to "try another distro" but my #iMAC adventure seems opposed to #Debian13 Wayland, and, oddly, Debian doesn't offer any obvious alternative. The iMac only has VA-API support for X11, and the bridge package solved the Firefox video lag, but my mouse cursor still vanishes, only restored by a reboot.
And today a further symptom suggesting a different video driver is needed: running the default Chromium, the screen goes into a psychedelic dance for almost a minute before a stable screen appears. Oddly, unlike most Linux distros, I can't find the option to search for alt drivers.
I miss Xorg already.

Unsurprisingly, #Debian chose to embrace #slop: #AI #NoAI #NoLLM

Not sure why, but within the LAN I've needed to whitelist all hosts using #Jellyfin clients, otherwise their IP gets blocked by Fail2Ban after about an hour of watching. I fear this would happen to remote viewers too, but not sure I've ever watched more than an hour remotely. No idea if any other remote client services do the same, I've not let them run more than a few minutes.
Is this perhaps a #debian #ufw #Fail2Ban setting I should know about?
