#Debian #Trixie got its 13.3 upgrade yesterday: https://www.debian.org/News/2026/20260110

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.

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.

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

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

#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.

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.

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.

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.

upgrade complete! #selfhost #footiMac #Debian #mastodon #fediverse #upgrade

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.

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!
#selfhost #footiMac #Debian #mastodon #fediverse #upgrade

RE: #Debian

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

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!

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

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

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.
