I hope you’re upgrading from debian buster to bullseye!
I hope you’re upgrading from debian buster to bullseye!
For me, no…
I’ve gone from debian 9 to debian 11 and now debian sid without reinstalling OS on my desktop
Same with my servers. Debian 8 -> 11 all upgrades in-place. Will have to upgrade to 12 soon…
The only time i messed up an upgrade is when accidentally used the codename “bookworm” in the sources file and skipped a major version. The system tried to fully upgrade 2 versions ahead and promptly borked itself… But it was an LXC container so i just rolled back my mistake. Lesson learned…
But yeah. Full re-installs have NEVER been a thing for me since going debian. It will even happily clone to a new SSD when you need to upgrade your hardware. (As long as your new hardware has in-kernel drivers, or at least some basic functionality to boot and fix the problem, if any)
Once people become familar with the basics of linux, they realize that almost anything that these niche distros offer can be accomplished in debian
You’ll always end up on debian. You just dont know it yet
If buying isnt owning then piracy isnt stealing
Sane move by maintainer, but he should not go around calling other people’s code crap unless there is proof that the code was actually crap with gaping security hole
To be fair, it looks like the debian maintainer started the unfriendly discourse by calling the work of other FOSS devs “crap”
Everyone needs to chill out, otherwise we have another potential XZ social engineering attack
It would be catastrophic for something like keepass to have a malicious maintainer take over
Debian sid user here, and long time keepassxc user
Debian maintainer didnt communicate this well, but i agree that i dont want my password manager having any access to networking or interacting with anything other than the clipboard.
I’m not a developer or a security expert. This is just my gut feeling talking
Why not just fix sudo then?
I’m using sid and i’m loving thia change. It’s an obvious visual cue to check if i’m about to remove something important like my whole desktop environment lol
Weather underground is owned by IBM now
Anyone know of a community driven, non-profit weathet platform we can share weather station data with?
Wow, did not know this…
I think i will accelerate my plans for a new NAS lol
QNAP is taiwanese and still providing software patches for my 8 year old NAS. I think they are reasonably trustworthy
But i agree with you, i’m going to build my own NAS from scratch this year…
I love KDE. Been using it for 10 years
One question i’ve always had though… Does anyone actually use the default KDE software like konqueror, kmail, kontacts, etc? Why not just focus on the desktop environment?
end up with all kinds of dependencies and leftover files from shit that you didn’t like.
I’ve been using debian for 10 years and never had this problem. Apt keeps everything very neat and tidy
Are you downloading random .deb packages off the internet and installing them manually?
There’s an evangelion joke here that i’m not clever enough to make
I didnt break anything, but there was this one time i was setting up a new lxc container i had just spun up. I installed nginx, and a bunch of other packages, started writing new config files… Then i noticed my prompt was user@desktop$ instead of user@server$
Whoops… I was in the wrong terminal window, typing commands into my desktop instead of the container i was setting up.
15 years now. First few years part time messing around with ubuntu and mint. I’ve been full time 100% debian on all my servers and desktop/laptop for at least 10 years now.
Debian is the best
I know lemmy has a gigantic hate boner for LLMs, but if you plugged this scenario into a good one (probably not the bog standard “free” chatgpt in bing) you’ll probably get a very entertaining conversation.
