Interesting page about software names and what they mean 🙂

From the wiki page:
"An IT-etymology/linuxguistics page for people wondering "how come the package yasysmand-cling has such a strange name?"

The #Debian wiki sure has some interesting pages 😎

Aïe, après mise à jour, #Grub me dit "error: can't find command `echo'." C'est mal parti.

What are some of your favorite YouTube channels that are not related to gaming, particularly those that are smaller or less well known? I am looking to expand my knowledge and diversify my FreeTube feed.

Published a short blog post about why I use Debian.

"To start with #Nix was one of my worst IT ideas so far."

Read about the reasons why #NixOS did not work out for me on:

Good bye NixOS, Hello #Debian (Again)!

I say bye to the great Nix community here! 👋 You were the best part of my Nix experience. 🙇

Edit: I published an extended version on 2025-08-31 with additional content and links.

Was will eins denn sonst noch für ein OS?

Pop_OS wird ja irgendwie nicht vernünftig weiternetwickelt.
Ich will definitiv bei #GNOME bleiben, also ist #TuxedoOS raus...

#Ubuntu vielleicht mal wieder versuchen?
Ist #Snap noch so eine Krankheit wie früher?

#Mint hat kein Gnome.

#Debian ist halt jetzt gerade aktuell, aber veraltet halt schnell...

#Fedora ist halt kein #apt, das ist der einzige Paketmanager, mit dem ich kalrkomme...

#ZorinOS vielleicht mal?

@GaymerGeek

I have #Debian #Linux running on my 15-year-old laptop, with the full #KDE Plasma 6 bells-and-whistles setup.

With the exception of web browsers and programming tools, this system's performance is about the same as #KDEPlasma 4 on similar hardware 15 years ago. All the fancy new features since then have had a performance cost of basically zero.

This platform is amazing. It is successfully defying the laws of software engineering. https://itlaw.fandom.com/wiki/Laws_of_Software

Je vois un tutoriel sur installer Debian en LUKS, y compris la partition /boot

Pour cela il change la chiffrement de la partition LUKS de Argon2 en pdkf2

C'est un compromis de sécurité acceptable ?
Sinon, est-ce possible (et utile) de garder /boot hors du volume chiffré et de chiffrer /boot uniquement en pdkf2 ?

The #Debian #XMPP team has published their notes on changes to XMPP packages and subsystems in Trixie.

If you're using #spamassassin on #debian, please consider testing the 4.0.2-rc1 packages. They're currently in experimental for unstable and built for bookworm in the bookworm-backports suite in my personal repo on people.debian.org. https://people.debian.org/~noahm/repo/

My plan is to update bookworm and trixie point releases to 4.0.2 once it's releases, so all the testing I can get is helpful. Please report any issues via the BTS or directly to me directly.
