#Debian 13.0 is set to support #RISCV as an official CPU architecture, marking a significant milestone nearly a decade after the first RISCV64 port was initiated. #Linux 𝗵𝘁𝘁𝗽𝘀://𝗹𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘅.𝘀𝗹𝗮𝘀𝗵𝗱𝗼𝘁.𝗼𝗿𝗴/𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆/𝟮𝟱/𝟬𝟳/𝟮𝟭/𝟬𝟲𝟯𝟯𝟮𝟯𝟮/𝗱𝗲𝗯𝗶𝗮𝗻-𝟭𝟯𝟬-𝘁𝗼-𝗯𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻-𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴-𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗰-𝘃-𝗮𝘀-𝗮𝗻-𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹-𝗰𝗽𝘂-𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲

Warum ich #Linux so liebe, und dabei vor Allem #Debian? Mein XMPP Server lief immer noch unter #bullseye, also #old-stable oder Debian11. Nachdem für Debian 13 (trixie) schon feature freeze ist, also 13 bald offiziell das neue Debian stable sein soll, dachte ich mit es wird Zeit zumindest mal auf 12 upzugraden. Dafür hatte ich eine halbe Stunde eingeplant. Was soll ich sagen, ich bin jetzt schon auf Trixie, und habe für beide Upgrades von elf über zwölf auf 13 keine halbe Stunde gebraucht, und alles läuft stabil weiter durch.
Just came back from a #techsupport quest at an eldery person...
Highlights:
- DELL UEFI requiring manual addition of the EFI grub boot entry
- $person forgot their mail password; I had to extract it from outlook using some shady tool
- Epson Linux printer drivers being garbage and not working
-Outlook exporting a contacts csv file with 100 columns
#Linux Mint #Debian Edition worked OOTB, no issues at all with sound, network, camera etc.
Nice to see that, and how it's easier for old people.

#HomeAssistant is ending its support for the Supervised installation I was running the last years (On a #Debian 12, just like recommended). I have now finally fully transitioned to a fully dockerised installation, now managing things like #ESPHome myself. Still, it was pretty annoying switching, since the backup restore function in the #docker version of HomeAssistant didn't want to take the folders from the backup image. Like this, I had to manually bring them into the docker container.
But I am happy. It works now 🎉

🌀 Y2K38 bug? Debian switching to 64-bit time for everything • The Register

「 Any software written for and running on 64-bit hardware is already safe, but Debian – which was launched by founder Ian Murdock back in 1993, and is the second-oldest actively developed Linux distribution behind the one-month-older Slackware – is the distro of choice for older and resource-constrained embedded devices based on 32-bit processors 」

The Register · Debian isn't waiting for 2038 to blow up, switches to 64-bit time for everythingBy Gareth Halfacree

`fail2ban` does not work out of the box on new #debian! WTF?

The fail2ban systemd unit dies because it does not find ssh's log file.
Well #debian is a #systemd distro, ssh logs to journald.
fail2ban needs `python3-systemd` package in order read journald, but it is not a dependency of it. It really should be on a systemd distro.

Also `backend` has to be explicitly set to `systemd` instead of auto in order to not die on startup. I'd love it if that just worked.

Aus einem anderen Tröt heraus wurde bemängelt das bei #Debian die Versionssprünge recht lang sind und diverse Software somit recht alt ist

Unter #Debian konnte man schon immer die neuesten Versionen nutzen

Zum einen mit #backports
backports.debian.org

So habe ich mir #kicad9 für #bookworm geholt

Oder mit #Appimage

Einfach runterladen mit einem Klick ausführbar machen & das Programm zum starten anklicken wie hier mit
#freecad & #arduino
