Honestly, there were so many fundamental changes in the 13 upgrade for certain packages that I had to fix on a couple of machines that I’d be hesitant to try no-scoping the 11 > 13 upgrade.

I flew by the seat of my pants and managed to pull off 10 directly to 12, but I wouldn’t do it for this one.

No.

By itself, apt will give you headaches.

Debian migrated to new paths for security non-free firmware in repositories from 11 to 12, and apt goes to v3 in 12 to 13, which changes the format of sources. There is a new apt modernize-sources command, but it assumes your paths are correct.

If you know what you’re doing, you can do this by correcting the repo paths and do the without-new-packages upgrade, but be prepared to fix apt.

If you’re a casual user, maybe stick with 11>12>13.

In general, follow samba’s tunjng guidelines, particularly what not to set.

Wow, what a great response!

OK, you’ve sold me, I’ll sign up and try it.

Your personal willingness to explain your philosophy of the service is what swayed me, and I think that will go a long way in other forums and sites to pick up new subscribers.

I like this, and I’m willing to give it a shot.

• Is the app available on F-Droid?
• Can I count on this to be a long-term (10 yr+) solution to move away from protonmail for good?
• Where are the servers geographically?
• Can I add and manage filtering rules?
• Can I access port87 mails with a standard IMAP client like k9 or Thunderbird?
• Do you allow users to send mail from SMTP sources like, for instance, sendmail or postfix on my server so I can send myself alerts?

Edit: I’d be happy to pay for mail as a service if it works for me.

If it makes you feel any better, I say the same thing about windows when I’m forced to use it.

It isn’t just a different operating system, it’s also a different workflow and set of habits.

Stick with it, it will reward you.

And I have some container updates to test!

I do, but only for work. There are certain tasks you can’t do easily with just api calls.

“Ghost”… That brought back memories, thank you.

Good story. And boy, I’m jealous of your first time, I wish I could go back, in a way. Keep going, it gets better.

You just went on about how easy nix is to configure, then about adding bluetooth devices, then jumped to installing ableton on windows.

Op specified they are a musician using a studio distro for studio tasks. You didn’t address any of that.

I get that you’re impressed with nix and want to share, and nothing wrong with that. But let’s at least stay on topic.

Completely dodged the question to crow about nix. I’m 90% convinced nix users are the new “arch BTW” users.

Debian with xfce. Because I’m old. I don’t want to change, damnit!

Casaos is a Chinese commercial “loss leader” software added to tons of Chinese brands. It is not intended to make money by itself, it is intended to sell more home nas market gear like zimaboards.

It’s also not an os, despite its claims and confusing terms on Wikipedia.

Last, casaos sends telemetry to Chinese IPs, a fair amount more than most software, based on what I saw with tcpdump alone.

I’m not sure how casaos made its way into the “open source os” space, but none of what you’re saying is new.

Brodie has a good read on the pulse of Linux, worth following if you want to keep up with linux news.

Ça sera bientôt les vacances!

En effet. Bravo!

I grew up en français, albeit in Canada. In our informatique classes, we had CSA standard layout keyboards (IBM, not Microsoft).

It’s essentially a QWERTY keyboard with built-in compose key modifier and silkscreened characters on the board for accented characters (capitals included). Not too bad to learn on, and considering that QWERTY would be so prevalent in my life, I think it’s a good compromise.

When I was in uni in the 90s and finally ran across an AZERTY keyboard, I literally couldn’t use it. Not only is layout different, but the character mod sequence makes no ergonomic sense to me.

NBB: ¤ is an end-of-cell marker, introduced at the advent of word processors to distinguish newline and carriage returns from the ends of cells in tables. Not sure if it had a meaning before then, but my memory is saying it had something to do with sub-paragraphs.

I believe photoprism does its face recognition in the cloud, which is a dealbreaker for many.

Docker isn’t required for automatic ripping machine. Theres a bare metal install.

Good stuff!
