social.dk-libre.fr is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
My take: instead of pouring money into #Omarchy, those with "elite capital" should put money into all those little developers that created the many small components. It rewards the valuable work and makes open source software more sustainable. A distribution is not good because of its dotfiles, but the software it builds on.
Another thought: AI is taking over the web and content as we know it, the tech bros are now coming to #Linux. Be prepared..

Maybe it's just the same history as with #Linux ?
#FreeBSD has its own foundation but, as with Linux, both are US based. These foundations have their sponsors. Some of them are US #bigtech. And they are basically pushing towards LLMs.
Time to stop using anything that comes from US ? Fork ?

I wanted another computer as a sandbox, I don't really trust VMs, and fucking chip shortages, so to the boneyard it is. I have a disused ASRock Rack J1900D2Y with 8GB of RAM and a PicoPSU that used to be my mail server. Somehow, at some point, I modded the 1U case to mount the rack ears on the back. Annoying. So I dig up the original rack ears which I apparently still have, and try to flip things around, except the drive tray doesn't work the other way around somehow. What. Fine. I have a drill and a file. Sorted. While I'm at it, I splice an INA219 current sensor into the power connection for funzies and hook it up to the BMC's I2C bus. I then root the BMC so I can access it. So then I set about setting up Debian on it on a mirrored pair of Intel enterprise SSDs with encrypted ZFS. The board claims to support UEFI booting. This was determined to be a lie. Whatever. A problem for later. I put GRML (which is my new favorite rescue "CD" since it also has aarch64 builds available) on a flash drive, remove the case from the false drive, solder it to a motherboard header cable, and plug it into the internal USB hub I at some point added to the case. Boots fine, but only as a BIOS drive. I do a manual ZFS setup and debootstrap install, then I fuck around with GRUB for... a while... and eventually get it working on a system partition I've set up mirrored with mdadm (metadata v1.0 - at the end of the partition). Then comes the part where I get ZFSBootMenu working with SSH unlock. ZFSBootMenu is intended to boot via UEFI, but as I said, that doesn't work, but that's what GRUB is - I can chainload. Eventually that works, but I cannot manage to type the passphrase via the janky BMC's Java IPKVM. Fine. I have a file server I already set up SSH unlock with, but that means I'll have to build my own ZFSBootMenu files. After a while, I finally get that working, only to be immediately prompted for the passphrase a second time (on the screen, via the IPKVM, where I keep failing to type it, and it takes abour 90 seconds to check because I cranked up pbkdf2 iterations) when Debian starts. Right, need to bake the key into the encrypted initramfs that ZFSBootMenu loads. More chroot bullshit. I get that working, and Debian shits a brick and drops into a root shell because it can't find /sbin/init. Apparently I needed to install systemd-sysv for that. So I sigh, boot back into the GRML environment, mount the chroot for the fifteenth time, run the apt install, and rebuild the initramfs. I unmount everything, cross my fingers, and type reboot. The janky Java IPKVM refreshes. BIOS POSTs. GRUB chainloads ZFSBootMenu. The SSH unlock actually works perfectly. The boot process finally gets past the init stage, and a beautiful flood of green [ OK ] messages starts cascading down the screen. The login prompt finally appears. I go to type my username, but the BMC drops the connection again. I frantically reload the applet, but instead of the console, the screen glitches out, showing a live camera feed of my street just as a yellow car pulls up outside. I whistled for a cab and when it came near, the license plate said 'Fresh' and it had dice in the mirror. If anything I could say that this cab was rare, but I thought 'Nah, forget it, yo, holmes, to Bel-Air!' I pulled up to the house about seven or eight, and I yelled to the cabbie, 'Yo holmes, smell ya later!' I looked at my domain, I was finally there, to sit on my throne as the Heir of Bel-Air.

"[…] and the internet will tell you that […] developers are incompetent and you should pass a #kernel argument that overrides this behaviour and it never did them any harm, and it probably won’t do you any harm either but it might and you might never know why your system occasionally wedges or catches fire."

Latest screenshot. Still rockin' the RDNA2 GPU; should try the RDNA3 one again, there's been a whack of kernel updates.
Things you don't think about before getting a drawing tablet...
I've setup the drawing tablet to the left of my keyboard so I can spin either way depending on what I am doing. My keyboard is on the desk in front/under the right large screen.
My two main screens are on monitor arms from behind and the small screen placed in this orientation gives mouse navigation a smooth, natural usage path.
I'm right handed so this works for me - for now. Perhaps it'll change around the more into it I go.
Oh, and if anyone was wondering - works great with GIMP too!

I was finally motivated to pick up one of these devices after reading David's review.
Just got it working under Alpine Linux - the default driver stuff works as referenced on his website. I'll need to dig into this further to see what customization I want.
The device itself has a great feel, has a feeling of quality. I got a boring black one and it coordinates with my cheap and cheerful keyboard I mentioned the other week. Ha.
Anyway, never had one of these drawing devices before - learning curve inbound I expect.

HI!
I'm one of the developers behind Parch Immutable. Been building this for months and today it finally hit public alpha.
Built on bootc, so the whole system ships as a bootable OCI container image. Read-only root, atomic updates, instant rollbacks if anything breaks. No more praying an update doesn't nuke your system. Podman and Distrobox handle anything that's not on Flatpak, so you're never locked out of an app just because the base is immutable.
Native Plasma login replacing SDDM, atomic bootloader updates through bootupd, and the whole image is already trimmed down by several GB. This is early, it's alpha, things will break, but it's real and it's usable today.
If you write about Linux or FOSS, I'd genuinely appreciate a look. And if you just think this is cool, a boost goes a long way for a project like this trying to get in front of the right people.

Hey #FreeBSD folks! 🐡
I recently, as of yesterday, installed FreeBSD on my ThinkPad E14 Gen 4, and will document my journey coming from Debian GNU/Linux over to something that is BSD.
I’ve had some knowledge of FreeBSD from past interactions here on Mastodon, as well as from YouTube and other social media platforms. My ThinkPad also has two ssd drives, so I decided to wipe one of them and install FreeBSD, and using it as my daily driver.
I used to be on kolektiva.social a while back. Not sure how long I’ll stick around on this one either, but I came across bsd.cafe while reading through some FreeBSD documentation and figured I’d join.
Feel free to boost me if you remember me, or not, no worries!

Attention developers of KDE, Gnome, Libreoffice, GIMP, and any and all applications that let you use fonts: We need to talk about font management.
i run Kubuntu and when i am editing a document or an image and need to select a font, i am presented with a single scrolling list of all the fonts installed on the system, which is several hundred and includes fonts not only for every language currently used in the world, it also includes languages such as Linear A, which has not been spoken in more than 3500 years! Now it's great that my system can display all these different things, and it's really useful in a multilingual environment such as the social media services i use, but at the same time when i need to find a font to use for my own languages it becomes and overwhelming task! We need to fix this.
What we need is for font selectors to have a way to filter the fonts displayed to you. Preferably a filter by language, though i can see how that would need a lot of work and cooperation from the font package maintainers since the language isn't really a characteristic stored in a font file as i understand. Being able to filter by other characteristics, such as serif/sans serif would also be useful.
i recognize that this is not a small or easy task, but i think it is one that desperately needs a solution. And no, uninstalling fonts is not a solution since that breaks the display of text in social media by people from other countries. Breaking the ability to communicate across international borders is not the solution to managing the list of available fonts.
i really don't know how to get this message to the right people, so i'm throwing it out into the Fediverse in the hope that someone either knows of a good workaround, or can point me in the direction of who to talk to in order to get the conversation about this issue started among the right people.

I've been looking for a #WiFi networks channels analyzer app for the #Linux desktop, like those found on F-Droid (such as WiFiAnalyzer), and couldn't find one on Flathub.
Then, searching more broadly, I discovered that Daniel Nylander, oldtime Swedish translator in #GNOME, has built exactly such an app in recent months, in #Python + GTK4 + libadwaita!
I tried it out (just do "cd src/ && python app.py"), it works well.

I am running Waterfox as browser now, instead of Vivaldi.
I usually have 2 browser profiles open with 5 or 6 tabs each. A few times already something slowed down my computer very much after a while. Yesterday it got so bad that I had to restart the machine. Even playing music from disk stuttered. That is bad. This is Linux.
I'm trying to figure out if it's the browser or something else.
The rough plan, which will probably be immediately amended upon contact with reality:
I've done most of this before, and already have configs for several parts, so it should be relatively smooth. In theory.

So it seems the faux ai shite has got me at last as the most recent Liquorix Kernel (7.2.whatever) update results in the Kernel Panic message on reboot. I run Mint on the old Toshiba laptop and reverted to Mint's standard 6.8 kernel - all is fine. So I guess the multiple and huge 7.2.x updates of late (due to faux ai detecting hundreds of 'issues') have finally knackered things... surprise surprise... next step is edit grub file... #linux #kernel
Interest check: I'm considering doing a stream at around 4-6pm UK time this afternoon (Saturday September 5th) building an minimal netboot-into-ram Linux image for my Raspberry Pi NTP server.

Next Saturday at #EuroBSDCon 2026, I'll tell the story of one of the longest nights of my career.
On 10 March 2021, I had just fallen asleep when the alerts started arriving. One server down. Then another. And another.
Different servers, different workloads, one thing in common: the OVHcloud Strasbourg data centre.
Then came the news: SBG2 was on fire.
I had 142 servers there.
The mission for the night was simple to state: bring the critical services back before 8, then recover everything else as quickly as possible.
This talk is about what happened next. The things that worked, the architectural choices that saved us, and especially the ones that failed when we needed them most.
And it's also the story of why that night changed the way I design infrastructure, and why BSD systems became such an important part of it.
The night 142 of my servers went up in the clouds. Physically.

#Debian 11 is no longer receiving updates. A handful of packages will be maintained by external third parties, but for all intents and purposes updates for Bullseye are over, so if you have an internet connected machine still running Debian Bullseye, you should be migrating it to 12 (Bookworm) or 13 (Trixie).
The entire distribution was rebuilt with GCC 16.2.0, glibc 2.44 and binutils 2.47.

"Fine, it's 16.0 alpha 1."
Time to upgrade.
I love working on my Linux laptop. Everything feels simple, direct, and close to the Debian-based systems I eventually deploy to.
Then I have to work on another Unix-like OS and spend time making it behave *almost* like Linux, getting tests to behave the same way, adding layers to reproduce what I already have natively.
My “year of Linux” was 2000. Every year since then has been the year of Linux for me. 🐧
I just don’t have time to fight the OS.
J'ai pondu ça si jamais ça peut servir à quelqu'un... ^^'
Question – what OS should I install?
I have a Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 11e with only 2 cores, 4 threads, and 4 GB of RAM. I'm looking for OS recommendations that would be suitable for this machine.
I'm considering Debian, possibly as a command-line installation, to see if I could manage without a GUI. I've also thought about something more exotic like OpenBSD. Regardless, I'd mainly like to use this machine as a portable typewriter. Importantly, I need TTS (text-to-speech) because of my personal accessibility needs—a screen reader is essential.
I enjoy experimenting with distros and learning through hands-on experience.
Any advise and tips are welcome!

Latest thoughts on mobile devices...
* Done with Android. Google has killed any cachet it had with their recent developer registration and side loading BS. I won't waste any more time on Android messing around with embedded stuff for my projects.
* iOS phone that I currently own (13) will be my last. Apple is just as bad as Google, will leave this platform also, even if for the last 4-5 years it was a sort of pseudo-privacy respecting mobile safe space. It was all BS and is about to get worse.
* I really haven't used phone apps beyond Firefox (and now Waterfox and Librewolf since Firefox turned) in the set 10 years or so. Won't miss anything from this perspective. I've never trusted the platforms with my payment systems so I won't miss "tap phone to pay" either. CarPlay/AAuto is convenient but a huge privacy leak.
* My next phone will be something that takes calls/sms and can create a hotspot and does effectively nothing else; a decent camera that doesn't have AI BS ruining the images would be nice. Device suggestions appreciated.
* I'll probably start researching small, flip convertible, touchscreen laptops that can act as a tablet and pair it with the phone. The device needs to be able to run Linux and/or BSD (of course). The older Lenovo Tab 11 I have now is serviceable in the meantime until I find a decent lightweight convertible.
* Would consider a Linux phone but I don't care enough about this segment to put up with being a beta/gamma tester. Also, lot of money for an uneven and potentially bad experience.
* If we consider new cars a mobile device <wat!?> then I'm done with them as well. So much so that I recently bought a 2000 Volvo S70 5spd for my wife as a winter beater. No mobile telemetry there - unlike my son's new Toyota GR86.
* While navigating all this, boycotting U.S. tech/manufacturers.
* There's no fun/joy in any of this stuff any more. #RantyMcRantFace
Pretty tall order. Makes the further case for throwing the phone into the crusher and migrating from "digital man" to "analog man" and fleeing into the woods/workshop. Ha.

Question: how does NetBSD differ from FreeBSD? Are both forbidding slop code?

Citrix Workspace is one of those applications I need, but do not want to adopt.
So I put its official Debian package in a disposable rootless Podman container on Fedora. X11, PipeWire, GPU and webcam support go in. Citrix-shaped filesystem clutter stays out.
It is a packaging boundary, not a security sandbox, and that distinction matters.

Interesting project for #Linux users that have a #Logitech mouse: https://openlogi.org/

I've been using Chimera Linux for some time now, and it's great. (The maintainer of it is a bit of a strange one, but hey-ho).
Chimera Linux is the Linux based on musl using the freebsd userspace. (This isn't anything new, Debian had an attempt at this with Debian-freebsd).
@wezm has created Casuarina which is essentially Chimera Linux with glibc rather than musl.
Very cool. I'll be looking into this!
Oh. A casuarina is a type of Australian Pine; I've never seen one (they're native to Australia), but thanks to all the #crypticcrossword puzzles I solve, I've heard of one. ;P

For some unfathomable reason, my computer has decided that it no longer want me to use the ^ key on my AZERTY keyboard. Every single key other than this one works perfectly. It's just, I no longer can use this one in particular.
Meaning no word with that character... and also no ^_^ emoticon. I have to resort to copy/paste each time !
Why ? Because f*ck me, that's why.
Linux's second-in-command Greg Kroah-Hartman is already warning that it's likely to be another "rough" kernel cycle given the ongoing noise caused by AI/LLM with the increase in bug reports and kernel patches.
Linux kernel developers continue to be bombarded by various patches for AI-generated bug fixes... Some that are genuine while others not so useful and in many instances affecting areas of the Linux kernel codebase not seeing much activity in years or for drivers that are obsolete or not widely-used.

🚨LIVE NOW!🚨 DevOps/SRE Instructor Livestream
On this lovely Thursday, let's chat about #Linux #SystemAdministration, #SelfHosting, or any other topic in the #DevOps and #SRE space you're interested in!
FYI
The Debian vote on LLM slop AI Code in the project is interesting
The Debian developers have voted on the project's stance regarding content generated by large language models (LLMs). There were eight proposals put forward on the topic of whether to allow LLM-generated content to be included in Debian, ranging from banning all LLM contributions to accepting all AI/LLM contributions. The result of the vote was that option 5 (also called option E) was selected: "Responsible Use of Generative AI", which is summarized as: "Debian neither endorses nor prohibits the use of generative AI tools in the development, maintenance, or documentation of software, packaging, documentation, and other media published within the Debian Project."
Debian Project Leader Lucas Nussbaum expressed regret on the results of the vote, writing: "On a very personal note, I regret that the winning option does not acknowledge all the legitimate concerns around AI: environmental impact, copyright and licensing uncertainty, the health of Free Software communities, and the strain of aggressive scraping on the open web."
At least one developer has left the project in protest following the vote. Antoine Le Gonidec wrote, in part: "I can not support the current decision of Debian about LLM use, and am no longer willing to be seen as a part of Debian under these new rules. Pretending to have a 'neutral stance' when faced with fascism is not neutrality, it's active collaboration.... You can replace me with some agentic AI anyway, so do not even try to pretend you're going to miss me."

I genuinely worry about a world in which general-purpose computing is locked down by corporations and governments.
I worry about a world where people are deliberately discouraged from understanding even the basics of the computers they depend on. Where everything happens inside gated communities and walled gardens, and the manufacturer (or the operating system vendor, or, Bastet forbid, a government) decides what you may install, change, create, or even understand.
Computers are wonderful things. They can be tools of creativity, curiosity, communication, education and liberation.
But only if they remain free, accessible, understandable, and truly under the control of the people using them.
A computer you are not allowed to control is increasingly becoming something done to you, rather than a tool that belongs to you.
And frankly, that worries me. Quite a lot. 🖥️🏴☠️

Calls to and from linux/flatpak <-> Android was good, but you can't pick the webcam. Deltachat in #Linux (flatpak) only wanted to use my poor-quality built-in webcam, not the far-nicer USB webcam.
So iPadOS is the "stinker": it can initiate video calls, but not receive them. It's right up to date: v2.59.1

There is nothing on it that needs to be saved.

CERN is dropping #RHELL for #Debian. All 2200+ systems by the end of the year.
The reason being is that the "-march=x86-64-v2" compiler flag default as "forced obsolescence" for old hardware.
It's not without headaches, mostly due to "the lack of standard tooling for automated building and publishing of packages - a lot of gaps in the official tooling. There are also a number of tools not supporting multiple versions of the same packages."
CERN is moving its industrial computers and embedded systems to Debian 13, with over 2,200 devices targeted by year’s end.

Haack's Networking
✅️ I am currently in my 20th year in education and over the years I've worked in both secondary and college. I've been a sysadmin longer, having started at the NM Coalition for Literacy in 2000 while finishing college on the "long plan." I pivoted in 2018 back to the private sector and then back again to education in 2022. I've maintained this side company/DBA, Haack's Networking, throughout the entirety and I still have clients to this day that I began with in the early 2000s.
✍️ I've always been struck by the prohibitive cost of software. As a young kid, I remember my father purchased me MetroWorks CodeWarrior for learning C for my LC475 68K mac. I read somewhere in 1992 that I should learn C so that's why I asked for it. Over those next few months, it's hard to explain the frustration I felt at trying to keep the abstractions separated. Open firmware, vs. mac's OS at that time, vs., the IDE and C I was supposed to be learning. It helped at disambiguating abstractions, but was useless at teaching me C. I still suck at C. The package was pretty costly nevertheless.
📻️ While in my early days as a sysadmin, I remember the Adobe suites, Microsoft suites, etc., that we were obligated to keep up to date and purchase for our non-profit. We also had tons of macs, 5 laser printers, early flat panel displays, an early NAS, and a hard firewall (Sonic something). It was not sustainable for this non-profit whatsoever. After the prior Director left - who I still consider a mentor and friend to this day - others took over who made an effort to reduce spending and keep the tech lifts in line with reality. It was slow and painful, but/and I learned that costly is not better.

It describes forking, carrying on and coming together again of PureOS and #Debian.
The upcoming PureOS release, #Dawn, will be based on Debian #Trixie.
PureOS is the operating system for @purism devices, like the #Librem5 #Linux #phone. It is fine tuned for #Purism hardware.
You can support #MobileLinux by buying Purism devices or optionally paying for a PureOS subscription.
A vos agendas ! Vous souhaitez une alternative à #Windows11 tout en restant à jour ? Vous ne souhaitez pas renouveler votre ordinateur ?

With my lifestyle now, I don't frequently check headlines. But I just saw that the Epic Games Store is coming to Linux with an official native version! What a time to be alive.
That doesn't mean Tim Sweeney gets a pass for constantly insulting Linux gamers, but I love to see the adoption.

Some #Linux #kernel bug reports on bugzilla.kernel.org now get an answer like this from Artem:
"""
Please find the subsystem maintainers and send your message to LKML and CC them.
This bug report will not be seen by anyone.
""" (from https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=221931#c1 )
Artem recently started doing this in a few cases[1]. Not sure under which exact circumstances, but whatever: it might be a good idea, because that bug tracker is known to not be working well for years now[1] -- and a reply like that is at least better than not getting any at all.
[1] Artem for some time already has sent people reporting problems with modern gpu drivers to https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/, which is great!

Hello les #mastogeeks,
je réfléchis à me former en informatique, sur mon temps (avec peut être une période en 2027 où je serai au chômage)
Le but serait de pouvoir aider de manière opérationnelle des structures (je pense à mon supermarché coop :) ) à gérer leur parc informatique, avec des logiciels libres.
Je pense pouvoir m'astreindre à 3-4h de pratique par semaine.

Even more useful than I thought it would be.
Big corporations always ruin things, because they prioritise making fast money over anything, even if stomping on others, whether people or the environment or you name it.
AI companies shouldn't have scrapped the internet from the beginning. If AI as a technology was monitored to grow ethically, we wouldn't be upset now in the FOSS community.
AI models wouldn't have the immense powers they have now, because they wouldn't have stolen all humanity's work. But we always have slow government and parliaments that will act years after the disaster. Even then, big tech lobbying and corrupt money will shut them or slow them strongly.
If AI models were trained on public domain stuff, consent, and experiments with consenting parties, it would have been ethical, along with democratising and decentralising them from the first place. I worry we're heading to a global dictatorship that's in the hand of not the 'elite' as in numbered groups of people, anymore, but in the hands of three or four individuals controlling everything.

#Mastodon tip: There is a way to use only part of a word as a hashtag!
For example, you might want to say the word “toots”, but use the hashtag “toot”.
To do this, place a U+2060 WORD JOINER before the “s” in “toots”. Example: #toots.
If you're using #X11 or #Wayland (i.e. #Linux or #BSD desktop), you can add the following line to ~/.XCompose to give yourself a keyboard shortcut:
<Multi_key> <w> <j> : "" U2060 # WORD JOINER
Then just type Compose, then W, then J.

""Two weeks have passed, it's Sunday afternoon, and the merge window has closed.
Nothing really stands out - except for the fact that it's big. It's not the biggest rc1 we've ever had, but it's certainly up there, at least in number of commits.
And I don't think that surprises anybody any more. It's all the same pattern we've been seeing for a while now.
It's also big as an actual diff, and the reason for *that* is not surprising either: this is yet another one of those releases with a big AMD GPU register dump. […]
But if you just mask out that big chunk, things look pretty normal, and this merge window didn't feel that different from most of them despite being large. […]
Let's hope the rest of this release will go smoothly. And be small and uneventful. But who am I kidding? It almost certainly won't be small, but I can always hope.

Linus Torvalds Announces First #Linux Kernel 7.3 Release Candidate https://9to5linux.com/linus-torvalds-announces-first-linux-kernel-7-3-release-candidate
@ChampersBE I will clarify.
Yes, I am aware that the #Linux kernel and other distros have been using #AI for some time now and in various capacities.
The backlash #Debian is receiving is because it isn't just another distribution. It's one of the oldest, it has a long standing reputation for rock solid stability, among many other strong selling points.
Given the significant and ethical problems surrounding AI, many feel this is a step backwards for the project.
Frankly, Debian has warts and other cultural problems that I would *much* rather see corrected before any AI use is even remotely considered.

Hey, #Linux and #OpenSource people. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with package hosting for open source projects.
I've been using Launchpad PPAs so far, which is limited to Ubuntu, but I also have Debian packages and would like to add packages for Mint and Fedora as well.
I've been testing Cloudsmith a little, and it seems fine, but I have no experience with these providers and don't know which one is the better choice.

Oh and funnily depending on how I try to read that folder name I get all three ways returned...

#Linux really needs some debug tool to just hand you the hex of files and folders in a specific path.
And I feel pitty for everyone that has to deal with #UTF8 vs #UTF16 on the daily.
FIND yourself a a linux distribution or BSD that does reject AI; use it and donate to it.
If you can't move your daily driver move a secondary machine. Tinker with it, fit it into your life where it makes sense.
YEAH the linux kernel has slop. Most programming languages have slop. Most desktop environments have slop, you will have dependencies that are still slop. This is a big problem; there is no magic off switch to fixing this overnight.
We are in the early days of dealing with a contaminate that polluters are actively dumping into our digital environment.
It is going to take a long time before anyone can truly be slop free.
But support, and invest in the folks doing that hard work which will build a slop free future.

👀 That reminds me that I still need to implement a "secure" way for clients to change email passwords via Roundcube. For now, this remains internal/managed - which is fine for these use-cases. Credentials are shared via pw managers that haacknet+client share access to.
📜 Alright, only 10:08am at this moment and got four fifths of the work done. But/and, now, I need to get the remaining parts built out:
- Roundcube, including sieve
- Autodiscovery (DNS is cached already)
- PfLogsumm setup/cron
- Virtual aliases and gen. review
😭 After that, success will be had and billing can be done - with proper testing and verification of services first, of course! Another one done, more to learn ... okay, back to user pw mgmt.

You should know that Linux pretty much runs the majority of the servers in the world, at this point, and Debian is the basis for many of the most popular Linux distributions, including Debian itself, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, and Raspberry Pi OS. Both projects are intent on polluting the codebase with slop.

If you're trying to convince people that there are alternatives to #Debian #Linux that aren't using AI, you're probably not going to get far by suggesting distributions that literally have no installer and expect you to install Linux by hand from an empty drive, or that haven't put out updated images in eight months, or that don't seem to explain anywhere on their website or in their documentation what their commitments are in terms of patching security vulnerabilities.

I have a Brother HL-2140 printer that, for some reason, works properly only on Windows. On GNU/Linux and macOS, printing images often results in a horrible dithering effect because of the rather broken CUPS driver.
Now that we're living in the age of AI, and with increasingly capable models available, I had a thought: I already have the Windows driver, and I have access to Gemini, so why not throw a ridiculously long prompt at it and ask it to figure out how the Windows driver works, reverse-engineer the protocol, and build a proper CUPS driver from scratch? :)
So that's exactly what I did.
I gave Gemini the Windows driver and a detailed reverse-engineering task, let it work through the problem, and started implementing and testing what it came up with.
The result was honestly better than I expected. I was fully prepared to receive a giant pile of questionable AI-generated code, but instead it produced something surprisingly clean and functional. There's still plenty of room for optimization and cleanup, of course, but the basic result is already quite promising.
The project is available here:
https://github.com/behdanisohrab/open-hl2140
here's a side-by-side: the left side is the driver generated through the reverse-engineering process with Gemini, while the right side is the original CUPS driver.
It's a surprisingly good example of how AI can be used as an engineering tool rather than simply asking it to generate code and hoping for the best.
We'll see how far this rabbit hole goes.

People are upset about debian but debian would have to reject the kernel to reject LLMs. The fish starts rotting from the head. No distribution will be better than the very kernel it runs. The entire ecosystem is collapsing.
We really do have the 30M lines problem, as Molly Rocket put it. The kernel have always been a single point of failure
We need a standardized SoC (system on chip) with entire system ISA (instruction set architecture). We need operating systems to be a weekend projects. We need thousands of operating systems. We need open source hardware that will enable that.

There was a sense in the Inkscape project that it should be the developer team that decided what the AI policy should be.
I flatty rejected this.
Because most of the consequences for the project, for our users and for the world have absolutely nothing to do with developing software. It's reputation, risk, relationships and community standards and morality.
The last thing I wanted was important decisions to be pre-narrowed to questions of technical usefulness.
Effectivement, que #Debian se prononce en mode "nan mais les contributions faites avec de l'IA c'est OK" alors que c'est littéralement le projet qui te forkait la moitié des logiciels FOSS populaires parce que potentiel code propriétaire dedans, on est quand même sur de la triste ironie assez XXL.
S'iels en ont encore réellement quelque chose à faire philosophiquement parlant, ça va être cocasse de les regarder jouer les équilibristes entre les deux.

I'm beyond baffled to read this. "Responsible" use of AI, implies the existence of irresponsible use of AI, which at no point whatsoever, should be considered a valid option for a project the size of Debian but also for ANY project that is meant to be used by anyone other than the author.
You absolutely CANNOT submit contributions and say "oh this isn't me, I let the bot do it", this is not a thing. You submitted a thing, therefore you are responsible for it.
https://linuxiac.com/debian-says-yes-to-generative-ai-but-keeps-humans-accountable/
Just catching up on the Debian AI debate. The project has had a voting window over the past two weeks which just concluded.
Results are in and Debian maintainers voted to allowing AI contributions with encouraged disclosure.
The winning proposal will hold the human contributor who uses AI accountable for the content they submit to the project.
https://linuxiac.com/debian-says-yes-to-generative-ai-but-keeps-humans-accountable/
There were EIGHT policy proposals put forth. (thats a lot!)
All are VERY interesting to see where people's ideas on how to use AI in open source.
While I'm certain Debian's middle road vote outcome is going to piss off tons of people on either side its good to see people making CLEAR rules.
I for one will NOT be discontinuing my usage of Debian over this vote or even stop updating.
I'll wait and see IF & HOW the maintainers -actually- use AI.

I’ve been a long-time Kubuntu user, currently on 26.04 LTS.
Mostly because I want Debian-ish stability, KDE, reasonably current software, and something that will happily run on moderately elderly hardware without demanding a blood sacrifice to the upgrade gods.
And I increasingly want to escape the Canonical Slop™.
So I’ve been thinking: Debian Testing? 🤔
Except then I went looking into Debian’s current position on generative AI and -
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK, DEBIAN?
So apparently Debian is having an enormous philosophical argument about whether the robot should be allowed into the kitchen while I am standing outside trying to find an operating system that doesn't make me want to scream.
Which leaves me with the obvious question:
If I want KDE, stability, reasonably current packages, decent support for older hardware, no Canonical nonsense, AND a Free Software project that is taking the whole GenAI mess seriously… WHAT THE FUCK DO I RUN?
Debian Testing was looking so promising, too. 😭
Linux distro hopping has become a personality crisis.

Debian votes to allow "responsible use of generative AI"
I have decided to shut down my #mastodon instance, and all my public facing web services.
This will happen in 3 months time, on December 29, 2026, to allow everyone to backup and migrate.
The reason for this is that I can no longer trust:
- the #Linux kernel
- #Debian
- rails
- most #Foss projects
Additionally, I'm basically out of storage, it is unaffordable to purchase more, and no one is interested in donating to help.
Our bastion of free computing has been poisoned by fascist gen ai slop, and basically NONE of it can be trusted anymore.
It's impossible to vet slop from an ecosystem that is welcoming of it.
This makes it nearly impossible to update my systems, which makes it harder to pretend it's even remotely secure.
I'm fucking devestated - gutted by what has happened to computing, and I just do not have the resources to keep fighting.
Fuck all you #LLM boosters into the sun. May you learn the folly of your way and DO SOMETHING TO FIX IT!

so, we have a winner, it seems: Proposal E
I actually am rather surprised while at the same time being not surprised: this is the option that says "keep the status quo but call whatever you do 'responsible'". A very #Debian thing, indeed.
It even mentions that slop is probably breaking copyright (while at the same time carefully wording to not even actually state that).
(edited to add: if you look at the Graphviz result, you’ll see that, after this option, the pro-slop ones have landed over the pro-life ones; this (it’s preferential voting) makes me sad)
So, what does that mean?
No rage-quitting, at least. (This is very much in the interest of the users.) But also no improvement. But also no official sanctioning of slop.
I cannot believe I am saying this, but I’m actually rooting for… Helene Fischer, the GEMA, and the german Medienanstalten… to save us, by getting courts to recognise these issues.
I cannot believe I am writing the above. This timeline is bizarre.
The bubble is also already bursting, but not fast enough, which is raising the collateral damage each minute it has not yet burst. (Here I mean financial, trust, etc. but for #FOSS specifically, it also means that LLM-extruded digital asbestos gets added to more and more codebasēs in growing quantities, which will be hard to recover from.)
What I would like to know is why such an important topic has, what, under 40% voting participation. smh
(the preliminary automated report by the voting tool does not give the numbers; the project secretary will do so within days, so this is a guesstimate)
Practically, what can we do?
Pretty much only this:
Ride out trixie without rsyslog (and without backports) until the end of its #ELTS, grudgingly installing kernel security updates. Avoid LPNs (npm, composer, pip, cargo, go get, etc.) at all cost (this is not new but now more important than ever). Use third-party repos only after manually checking for slop policies for both the repo and the softwares contained within (I had to split my own repo, I added a non-free component for ensloppified tomcat9 but kept the last one from before in the component with the main policy).
Check out unensloppified OSes as alternatives in parallel (seems to have only NetBSD as contender, among OSes capable of running similar enough use cases). Prepare to switch to unensloppified OS at any time, around 2035 at the latest. Do not hope that by then all the slop will be reverted from core system components (if it is, I will be pleasantly surprised, but right now, #Linux is dying).
Reduce computers and compute in your life.
And, if you can, fight this on useful levels. Not copyright licences, they ignore these and consent anyway. But: On a political level, up to and including guillotines, if you must. On an educational level, with friends, family, and even pupils/students. The younger generations are not lost. Make a worthwhile future, including human art, craft, crocheting, knitting, music, painting, woodworking, what have you. Doesn’t matter if it’s not good: it’s yours. Read books (from before 2020 or so). Go out, make train trips, cycle, garden, including fruit and vegetables. Care for your cats and other loved ones. And say no to fashtech.
I am disappointed.
My list of boycotts keeps growing.
Fascism, consumption, waste.
We should be living with the conservation and sustainability of all things at the base of our decisions.
Our habitat, environment, air, water, food, forests, all life, and our energy! Electricity is a precious commodity that should not befall capitalist consumerism.
I boycott #GAFAM, Airbnb, MacDo, Nestlé, and LLMs,...
Now the #Linux kernel has decided to use LLMs. Slop aside it is not an ethical choice for its consumption and ties to fascism.
Debian too.
The Nazis in #FOSS, DHH, Omarchy, Hyprland, and #NeoVim. Framework computer!
Fascism is alive and well in FOSS.

I dislike the game launchers of the latest years. At least a decade ago, launchers were just splash screens for utility that used the system libraries for draw a window.
Today they have to pick Electron just for draw a couple of window, that makes loading the launcher itself awful heavy.
I had this even under Linux.
Alternative mod launchers and similar have became popular for good reasons.
What's next, I need to run a LLMs on my GPU just for draw a launch game button?

They're literally just ricing their desktop like some 15-year-old nerds.
The installer ISO for Omarchy is over 7 GB large.
For comparison, the official Arch ISO is 1.5 GB.
What the hell did they pack into the ISO to bloat it up that much?
If I want something, I have to pay for it myself. Tired of my job? Resign and live off my savings. But if you're a multi-millionaire, CEOs throw money at you to work on your hobby? Rather than pay their workers fairly?

🎶 Hot Music Takes - #04
🎹 Growing up, I always considered Queen's 1980's phase (excluding The Game) to be sub-par and far underneath the epic releases as defined by me: Jazz, The Game (written in 1979), A Night At the Opera, Sheer Heart Attack ...
💡 In an effort to understand the stigma that Queen received for their Hot Space release, I embarked on a journey to revisit all of Queen post-1980's The Game. I've now made it through Hot Space and The Works and I'm currently working on It's a Kind of Magic ... which I was a young kid and contemporary with.
📜 Much to my surprise, I've just been dead wrong all along. I think my mother's bias (same age as Mercury) and my youngest Uncle's bias (senior in HS when Jazz was released) ... snuck into my psyche. My mother just took it for granted that the earlier stuff was superior ... my Uncle would talk all this anti-synth nonsense ... which, in hindsight, he was wrong - The Game is their first synth usage, which he seemed to miss.
‼️ Despite watching Live Aid with my mother/sister and my Dad loving Highlander and Queen's role in the supporting music ... I just blocked this period out as I grew up. What helped me understand my folly? Well, a mix of chance ... I was debating a colleague about the shittiness of Under Pressure and we locked heads on Hot Space vs. Let's Dance lmao. Secondly, I searched out and found live concerts for every single Queen album (up to Magic). After watching the shows, notably the later ones ... I realized that the later 1980s stuff suffered from production/marketing shyze ... if you want to understand the 1982 - 1986 phase ....

Been using #Deskflow with my #Debian #Linux #KDE #Plasma #Wayland box as the "server" and my #NetBSD #ctwm #X11 laptop as the "client" or second screen.
It's amazing that it works, but it's buggy. I'll get a few repeat keystrokes, and sometimes the control key gets stuck.
P.S. Thanks to @etam for this solution: https://im-in.space/@etam/117162772780969631

Do I know anyone that has been running Alpine Linux Edge for an appreciable amount of time? Like say, 12-18 plus months?
Have you ever been caught out with kernel+gpu+desktop versionitis causing issues? Other issues?
Debating whether to switch my desktop hosts to Edge. I could always roll back but trying not to shoot myself in the face just 'cuz.
On this day in 1991 some college kid in Finland told people on Usenet he would not be doing a big and professional operating system. It would later be called Linux.

If one of you nerds in northern Germany or maybe southern Denmark wants a HUGE touchscreen for 300 bucks, there's a working Samsung SUR40 (aka Microsoft Pixelsense) for sale in Lower Saxony: https://www.ebay.de/itm/158218959099
Hit me up if you want to install Linux, I wrote the kernel driver for the touchscreen 😁
(beware: pickup only, it's 37 kg and nearly impossible to carry alone, I know this from firsthand experience 😖)

Happy Birthday #Linux 🎉🐧
On this day, Linus Torvald first posted that he was working on a small and free operating system and now, 35 years later, it has become one of the most popular platforms on the planet.
If Linux's story shows us one thing, it's this: Together we can fight for a better internet ✊
