I don’t know, I’m not on the Debian team. This is probably a question for them. I think the mailing list is public if you wanted to ask someone.

Also TIS-100, the one no one talks about since Shenzhen I/O came out. :(

I have no idea, but I don’t think the team would add a bunch of useless crap into the release notes for no reason. Doesn’t sound very Debian to me.

Here’s the link to the relevant section of the release notes, for your reference. It’s short.

Why not just get a bigger case and upgrade the prebuilt over time? A PC is inherently modular, you can replace what you’ve already got pretty easily, piece by piece. Unless you think all of the components are trash and you want to completely start over, of course.

Even still, an upgraded GPU or CPU will make an immediate impact even on shitty hardware.

That’s why you’re supposed to remove 3rd party repos before you update, but nobody reads the release notes anymore, I guess.

Here is the section of the release notes that deals with the source list.

Also see this man page for further details and examples.

I use Podman with Diun (like Watchtower but no auto-updates) and I think that’s the only time I’ve had to mount the socket into the container. Maybe also CrowdSec. Podman is rootless so I feel a bit better about it.

Any changes you make to the DNS records will take a little while to take effect because the information needs to propagate, just FYI. This is the case whether you’re using your own domain or one of theirs.

Serious question: why should I pay for a search engine? Sounds like just another subscription that’ll enshittify like all the others.

Logseq is very similar to Obsidian but it’s open source, if that matters. Doesn’t have the same extensibility through community plugins though.

Personally, I set a timer or alarm on my phone. It works for one-off stuff as well as recurring events. If I need more flexibility, I’ll make a calendar event that sends a push notification.

Same, but I use Notes by Bill Farmer to keep track of them all and set custom CSS styles.

And here is a textual breakdown of some of the better-known brands (warning: Reddit link).

Qalculate was one of the few Windows apps that I didn’t have to stop using when I switched to Linux.

It really shined when I used it as a field technician in building automation because it can convert all sorts of units of measurement of pressure, mass, velocity, etc. and we work in both metric and imperial in Canada.

Of course, it’s also a perfectly serviceable calculator for simple stuff too. I like the history feature a lot.

I use fish, I had to learn some new syntax and modify some functions since it’s not POSIX-compliant, but it was pretty painless.

One of the big issues I’ve heard that Nix users have is that you have to write your configs yourself using the Nix syntax, but the documentation isn’t very detailed.

If that sounds challenging to you (in a bad way) you may want to look elsewhere. Note that I’m not a Nix user so I can’t go into specifics, unfortunately.

Oh, great! I didn’t know that.

If stability is the goal, you really can’t go wrong with Debian. I have about 10 containers running on Debian 12 (through Podman) at any given time.
