Does anyone know what happened to the rc-local.service with #systemd? Can't find it on #Debian Sid anymore. /etc/rc.local was super useful to start some stuff in a quick & dirty way. Didn't use that for servers or my main system/laptop, there you'd want to do it in a proper way, of course. But for my mesh development stuff in VMs + containers it was quite useful, to have such a way for rapid prototyping and reproduceable, deterministic setups.
Trying out #nvi-1.81.6 on #Debian as my primary editor on my work box for a bit.
At first, I was sad that I could no longer
some_command |vi
like you can with (neo)?vim, but then I realized you could just as easily
vi <(some_command)
Hmmm, the lack of line selection mode is a bummer. This might have more pain points than I was anticipating. XD
Maybe I should try #vim-tiny?
Interestingly, #FreeBSD comes with #nvi2 in base, while #OpenBSD and #NetBSD seem to be running #nvi 1:

I guess since the whole "Flatpak creating a dependency on systemd" bullshit has surfaced this week there has been some other conversations about systemd going on throughout the Fediverse.
I've seen some oblique references to Debian making an effort to make OpenRC more viable as an alternate init system. That's about all I've gathered on my hit-n-run timeline surfing the last several days. Not sure if this is an official Debian project or just someone's wish list.
Anyone have the skinny? Links to actual discussions?
In a sea of surveillance capitalism and vendor lock-in, Debian’s steadfast commitment to its social contract feels almost radical. It’s a quiet but firm refusal to compromise user freedom for convenience-a model more projects should follow. #debian #FreeSoftware #OpenSource
Ich hatte immer einen Windows Rechner im Netz. Diese Zeiten sind vorbei. Wir sind jetzt "#GNU / #Linux, only".
Ich hatte immer einen Samba-Server im LAN, um Dateien ueber das Netzwerk freizugeben. Da alle Geraete jetzt mit #Debian laufen, koennte ich auch etwas anderes nehmen.
Was verwendet ihr denn so? Bei #Samba bleiben oder mal ein Blick in #NFSv3 / #NFSv4 werfen? Ganz etwas anderes?
Seit dem letzten Systemupdate erkennt Debian den Hub nicht mehr korrekt. Ich muss jetzt die externen Lautsprecher immer direkt am Laptop anschließen oder alternativ den wirklich miesen Lautsprecher des Monitors nutzen. So was ärgert mich, wozu habe ich mir schließlich einen Hub gekauft.
For my shop machine, I'm now actively testing Debian 14 Testing w/ Xlibre and SonicDE. So far, so good. I use this machine for client work and it also gets to be my guinea pig for testing drawing tablet workflows. Both native Xlibre (via wacom) and Gaomon's proprietary driver work. I'm impressed with how snappy SonicDE is - first time using it today. Great work folks‼️

Did a little adventure migrating my Debian Forky box from the in-repo nvidia (v550) drivers to extrepo nvidia driver (v595) as a work around for the kernel 6.19.x -> 7.0.x thing.
Yeah, don't do that.
I think the Debian maintainers do a bunch of work to the in repo drivers to make them 'nicer' - things like working better in multi-head. At least with my system sddm worked better. Also, the 595 drivers max the CPU under Plasma and makes it unusable (load avg ~25 on i7-11700k).
I ended up rolling back to v550 and pinning the kernel version to 6.19 for now. I'm still stuck with waiting for OpenZFS 2.4.2 for this box as well.
Nvidia drivers sure do make a mess between the number of packages required (with extra spicy things like new and interesting package name differences between in-repo and extrepo!) and the whole kernel version to module building process is a chore. I really appreciate that the teams make this work repeatably - especially when I tried going backwards to 6.19 with 595.
Anyway, rolled totally back to kernel 6.19, nv 550 and everything works as it should including OpenZFS v2.4.1 on this kernel.
One annoyance along the way was rolling back to v550 caused a sddm login loop. Deleting ~/.local/share/kscreen fixes this. Appears to undo minimal desktop tweaks, probably less noticeable on a non-multi-head host.
Things you do to avoid housework. Ha.

Incus ist ein LXD-Fork, über den wir bereits mehrfach berichtet haben. Nachdem Canonical 2023 die #Container-Software #LXD aus der Betreuung durch das Projekt #Linux Containers herausnahm, um es in die eigene Infrastruktur zu integrieren, beschloss LXD-Hauptentwickler Stéphane Graber Canonical zu verlassen, sein eigenes Unternehmen zu gründen und LXD zu Incus zu forken.
IncusOS
Nach über einem Jahr in der Entwicklung hat Graber jetzt #IncusOS vorgestellt, ein unveränderliches Betriebssystem auf der Basis von #Debian 13 »Trixie«, das ausschließlich für den sicheren und zuverlässigen Betrieb von mit #Incus erstellten #Linux-Containern entwickelt wurde und einen eigenen Kernel verwendet.
Es wurde für moderne Intel- und AMD- oder ARM-Systeme entwickelt und nutzt moderne Sicherheitsfunktionen wie UEFI Secure Boot und TPM, um einen sicheren Startvorgang und eine nahtlose, vollständige Festplattenverschlüsselung zu gewährleisten. Das #OpenZFS-Dateisystem soll ....

We booted Debian and FreeBSD 15 using QEMU accelerated with bhyve/vmm for the first time. This is an epic milestone for the FreeBSD community and beyond ! : r/freebsd
<https://www.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/1tk0eja/we_booted_debian_and_freebsd_15_using_qemu/> – Mario Zio.
"Further development is needed...a lot of development...but anyway this is a storic moment....we can use another hypervisor. This time in cooperation with the storic and mature QEMU. FreeBSD is second to none.
This success has been possible thanks to the competence of Abhinav Chavali who started this project for the GSOC 2025 ; thanks bro.
It's built on top of dumrich's work. …"
