Rien de tel qu'un lundi matin qui commence avec une cascade de succès ! ✅

Tous mes containers LXC sont à jour sur mes nœuds Proxmox, et tout ça sans un seul redémarrage.

Hab den Scanner Fujitsu SP-1120N in Betrieb genommen, Linux Treiber gibt es bei Fujitsu - nach der Installation ist er im vorinstallierten "Gnome Dokumentenscanner" (simple-scan) sofort nutzbar. Erinnere mich gut, was es damals für eine Hölle war, die mitgelieferte Windows Software ans Fliegen zu kriegen 🤯 unter Linux brauchte es bis zum ersten Test keine 10 Minuten. Mit gscan2pdf wird aus duplex über den Einzug gescannten Dokumenten ein PDF, incl. OCR. #debian #linux #dokumentenscanner

And it finally happened. My Dell Latitude 5400 running #Debian has, rather quietly, finally given up the ghost. I closed the lid after my last post, walked away, and when I returned the display never turned back on, the keyboard was not responsive (it was failing horribly with randomly repeating keys I did and did not press during my last post), the power button did not respond, and so I pulled the plug. After that, the power button did *nothing*.

Now, it's time to buy a new one. Oddly, my stress levels are dropping. I no longer need to worry about a failing laptop!

#laptop #death #SilentSunday

Y'know what? As an #opensource #advocate and #tech enthusiast, it's genuinely awesome to see increased mainstream coverage of #Linux and #FreeBSD. Unfortunately, a lot of these articles are riddled with mistakes, misinformation, clickbait, and overall low quality. A few minutes ago, while catching up on tech news I came across one #ZDNet author's frequent posts on Linux and FreeBSD.

To emphasize my point, I am only going to focus on one article titled, "After decades on Linux, FreeBSD finally gave me a reason to switch operating systems."

The following passages stuck out like sore thumb:

1.) "FreeBSD is more challenging than Linux."

-But is it really? Subjective, particularly if coming from a GUI-driven Linux distribution. Frankly I find FreeBSD easier because of the excellent documentation and coherent design.

2.) "FreeBSD is Unix-like" but further down he states, "Essentially, FreeBSD is Unix, where Linux is based on Unix."

-Contradictory, incorrect, and confusing for newcomers. FreeBSD is Unix. Linux (neither the kernel nor OS) is based on Unix.

3.) "Think of FreeBSD as a more challenging version of Linux. This operating system doesn't hold your hand, so you might learn a thing or two as you install it and the software you require. Even for a seasoned Linux veteran like me, FreeBSD can often be a head-scratcher."

-Challenging because it's *different than Linux*? FreeBSD doesn't hold your hand? What about #Debian, #Gentoo, #Arch, heck even #RHEL? Since the author didn't mention it, I'm going to assume he did not check the FreeBSD Handbook and his "seasoned Linux" experience has been using a Linux desktop for a couple years. Also, head-scratcher?! Being an experienced Debian user, I'd be scratching my head too if I just decided to use Gentoo on a whim. The trauma of hand-configuring the xorg.conf file was real.

Finally, contrary to the article's title, the author ended up not switching to FreeBSD.

-Clickbait.

I am all for more people exploring FreeBSD and Linux. They are great OSes but it is critical the information being reported is both accurate and consistent. For reference the article is linked below.

@rl_dane #Mozilla #Firefox has been doing this for *years*. Like, for the past several #Debian releases too - and that distro uses the ESR version. It's disappointing to see Firefox enabling this crap by default on both the mainstream and ESR version.

You can turn this off in the settings, however, I wish this setting were opt-in rather than opt-out.

I use #Waterfox on my phone and have no complaints. It's Firefox stripped down and with some privacy settings enabled.

I only use Chrome at work as Firefox is banned and M$ Edge is the only other choice). While I have Chromium installed on the Debian laptop, it's largely for testing purposes.

@rl_dane @Zenie

In 2014, my uncle gave me his old #PowerMac #G5 as he bought a new #Mac for pro video work. There was some kind of hardware issue with it, IIRC.

I had one helluva time getting #Debian installed on it. It kept failing to install the boot loader, which wasn't #GRUB. Anyway, I figured I would install #FreeBSD. It installed fine, booted fine, performance was fine, NIC supported, but....

It was a Tier 2 architecture. At that time FreeBSD, while supporting multiple ISAs, prioritized them in terms of support with x86-64 being Tier 1. Tier 2 doesn't have nearly the same level of support from the FreeBSD team.

In my case with the G5 only ports, not packages, were available. EVERYTHING had to be compiled and installed. Aside from some shells and other CLI tools, builds took ages and often failed.

Here's more info about the tiers.

Zum Thema Umstieg von #Windows auf #Linux Gedankenfussel:

• man wird nicht dadurch ein digitaler Freiheitskämpfer, daß man sich nun anderen undurchschaubaren Binärwust auf die Platte schaufelt
• Wenn man Linux dann verwendet, um closed Software in Größenordnungen (Spiele) zu installieren, dann wirkt das schräg
• wer ehrlich ist, wird vermutlich zugeben, daß eine große Motivation, sich FOSS zu installieren, schlicht pekuniär ist - wären Linux und FOSS überhaupt vergleichbar teuer zum Marktführer, würden die "Marktanteile" noch mehr zugunsten der kommerziellen Welt ausschlagen
• Marktanteile sind sowas von egal.
• Lernt von euren Kindern, die sind unverdorben. Die müßt ihr gar nicht umerziehen, gebt denen nur irgendwas einfach zu bedienendes; Windows ist da kein Kriterium.
• Es muß nicht so sein wie Windows, schon aus ästhetischen Gründen nicht.
  

  The only problem with Microsoft is they just have no taste. They have absolutely no taste

  
  Daran hat sich seit Steve Jobs' Verdikt nichts geändert

• Bei diesen ganzen hippen Distributionen: Macht alle die Runde durch bis ihr sie alle durch habt: Am Ende habt ihr #Debian 😉

This is required reading for anyone looking to move to #Debian.

https://wiki.debian.org/DontBreakDebian

One of Debian's strengths is the ability to target/track releases in the sources.list by using the development branch or release code name. It's incredibly flexible.

While #Ubuntu derives from Debian, its release cycle is much different too. Standard Ubuntu use Debian Unstable whereas LTS releases use Testing. After that, the Ubuntu team does their own work. By the time the new LTS version is released is has undergone changes that are different enough from what would eventually be Debian Stable, thus leading to unpredictable breakage.

Years ago, out of curiosity, I have done similar release changes on my main PC. In a matter of a few apt commands, I had a FrankenDebian that just increasingly broke unpredictably each time I ran apt-get upgrade. Purging and reinstalling apps did not help, either.

Eventually I just reinstalled.

Never again! 🤣

Should I try to migrate my work laptop from Ubuntu to Debian in-place? 🤔

Basically just replace the Ubuntu "noble" update URLs with Debian "bookworm" links, fire up apt dist-upgrade, and let it rip. 🚀🤞

(For the record, this _seems_ to be doable: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/718220/)

#ubuntu #debian #linux

@floe I strongly recommend you *don't* do that. Backup your data and do a clean install.

#Ubuntu may be a #Debian derivative but it's deviated far enough from upstream to be a successful upgrade. It is definitely not the same as moving from Debian Stable to Testing, where changing entries in your sources.list is typically all that's required.

So it turns out the spare #laptop which is running #FreeBSD 15 isn't in any better of a state than this #Debian laptop. I unplugged it to move it and....it powered off immediately.

...sigh....

#firstworldproblems #friday #laugh

@Zenie @rl_dane

On this #FreeBSD laptop, I just use startx to run #openbox. I've done that on plenty of #Debian systems in the past....even in its lighter days with #sysvinit. It it helpful with multiple users, however.

As for #systemD, if it were just an init manager I'd have less of a problem with it. Creating "unit files" and where things are located are convoluted at best.

SystemD has its tentacles in other traditionally non-init things like /etc/resolv.conf and others. That's where my biggest problem lies.

I have two #iMacs running #debian. Today, I decided to look at that #dmesg that flashes by as I boot. I do not feel any great problem, but, well, curiosity has got the better of me.

Here is the message (reformatted to hopefully suit mastodon's boxes):

It is the remotest of chances, but, does anyone out there have a clue or *clue for me?

They have the Slack desktop client installed, so I think I will need to re-enable the repository for that after the upgrade.

CachyOS failed to install. First attempt failed to install the new bootloader, second time I chose grub instead and that also failed.

So CachyOS failed the first test of getting it installed.

BIOS may be set to boot to Legacy first instead of UEFI. That may be a problem for CachyOS, so I'll change that and attempt to install again.

Trying out KDE and LXqt desktop environments.

The CachyOS installer failed, however. I tried twice, but got errors that it could not install. Could be something with the hardware, so I will try to install Linux Mint Debian Edition with the same hardware and see if I run into problems.

Heute Abend mal ein grosses Dankeschön an Mike Kuketz @kuketz :

Dank ihm habe ich Vieles über Tracker und Werbeblocker gelernt. Dank ihm läuft bei mir #PiHole, ich weiss, was #DNS-Server tun, kann meinen eigenen #Debian-Server hosten, habe einen Debian-Laptop und betreibe nun ein #Pixel mit #GrapheneOS.
Ja, dies alles geschah (über die letzten Jahre) dank ihm. Ich fühle mich sicher und kann mittlerweile anderen helfen! Einfach super!

Other than lagging a little bit for video, this repurposed laptop works great on #FreeBSD 15 and #Openbox.

Yeah, it's minimal as heck but for web surfing and email it's fine. In the era of window managers with rich eye candy, this level of minimalism is a relief and definitely appreciated. However, one thing I need to research is how the Openbox Menu can auto-add new entries after I install packages. On #Debian, this was automatic.

@DrHyde @glitzersachen @rl_dane

I remember that and still viscerally recall the firestorm that broke out on the #Debian mailing lists.

I am not a fan of #SystemD. While I recognize that Linux's implementation #SysVInit needed replacing, SystemD was not the right solution.

Even if there is some kind of "correctness" to it, the design is not based on #empathy or nor did it improve upon the user experience. It is a case study in the failure of not using design thinking.

We went from:

service $SERVICE start

To:

systemctl start $SERVICE

Why couldn't it be:

start $SERVICE

Of course, the additional info when checking a service's status is valuable and certainly an improvement, HOW it was implement is my biggest criticism. Also, SystemD sprawl. Poettering's terrible attitude didn't help either.

@rl_dane @peteorrall until recently that was #Debian of course. These days I'm switching to #Devuan for cases where I really need Linux, but to #FreeBSD where I don't.

I installed the program using apt, as it was not on the live boot, but it is in the repositories.

I used to use this program from the Trinity Rescue CD. Cool to know that it is just available from within Debian.

@dfloyd888 @rl_dane

I've been of the opinion one can learn Debian by picking up an #Ubuntu book - but only if the person has some experience. The gotchas do exist but for setting up servers, I would expect the processes between the two to be similar.

Ubuntu, while a #Debian derivative, has forked far enough that it's definitely not 1:1. #RHEL and #CentOS were much closer in that regard (but they also were not the same).

As for SUSE, sure you can check it out. I've used it on and off since 2005 and have seen and felt its changes. Just my opinion:

SUSE just feels...incomplete. It has good ideas but poor execution. It markets itself as the distro for users, sysadmins, developers, and makers. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to quite meet the challenge since each of those users have very different needs and instead has some kind of identity crisis. The lack of packages in its stock repos, along with many 3rd party apps not supporting it, shows. It wants to appeal to everyone but instead lacks focus.

Interestingly, Debian is much closer to being for everyone (or the universal OS) given its repos and flexibility. Unfortunately documentation is where it falls short.

I've been using Debian as my daily driver for the past two decades. When I think of #Linux, I think of Debian. To me, other distros are merely other Linux-based operating systems.

@dfloyd888 @rl_dane

#RHEL is a great enterprise server. Outside of that role it is mediocre. As a desktop, I'd run it if I had software which specifically required.

#Debian OTOH is what I run now as a daily driver. I enjoy it but for the "universal operating system" it's quite inaccessible and its documentation is substandard at best. Quite the paradox.

As usual, I made another program which was written in the Go programming language and it’s called Kagami, where it’s inspired from the main character with the same name, Kagami Hiiragi from an anime titled “Lucky Star”. The program itself lets you make your own customised Ubuntu-based ISOs and focus on vanilla experience with blocking snapd by default and more customisable.with JSON config that was written on examples.

The documentation for the program will be more available soon. Also, this program is licensed under GNU GPL v2.0 license and free for everyone. You can help me contribute for more improvement and feel free to contact me regarding this program. Thank you!

My primary laptop is still on Fedora 42, so I need to take a bit and refresh it. I usually do a full backup and fresh install rather than upgrades.

Debating whether to go to #Fedora 44 once it hits beta, try #Arch or #CachyOS, or move to #Debian Trixie on this machine. I'd lean toward Debian right now, but I'd have to start compiling #niri on my own since it's not available in Debian Trixie, nor does the project supply Debian packages.

Thoughts?
