Midnight Pub

update time!

~ew

Howdy, all!

~bartender? Some good filter coffee with cream and sugar, ah, take a big mug, it needs to last a bit. Thanks! --- Ah, and one of your ethernet cables, please! No, wireless is kind of never working when I need it most. :-)

/me heads over to the table in the dark corner near the power outlet and the hidden ethernet jack. I fetch my small notebook and the key dongle from my backpack and set those up on the table.

~bartender serves my coffee and inquires: Why oh why?

Debian 12.8 is out! Hot off the press, so to speak. I found out just before coming in! :-) And now, I'm going to remote update all my stuff running Debian. Nah, I'm not expecting exciting puzzles along the way, but who knows ...

/me takes a sip of coffee, nods over to ~inquiry and the other patrons chatting away, and logs in.

update: :)

An hour or so, and a refill later, and 8 systems are up to date! Success!

A long time ago, when cardboard boxes with Linux distributions in them were still a thing, I said "Debian unstable is more stable than the stuff in those boxes, in my humble opinion." Unstable has failed on me maybe 2 or 3 times in >20 years. And I could always fix it without reinstalling. Ok, ok, I'm being guilty of adding boring tech stuff to gemini. AGAIN!

Cheers!

debian was

my daily driver

for a looong time

recently i got on

the nixos train

but when

i got this new laptop

the nixos installer

didn't want to cooperate

which led me to

installing mx linux

great debian based distro

so basically back to deb

in a roundabout way

although

i still dig nix

so eventually

i'll be installing

the nix package on mx

it really is a great way

to manage and install packages

take a look if you haven't ;)
