I only discovered the #fediverse this week because I stopped being able to conveniently access reddit.

Love the concept, still adapting to the execution.

This will probably only reach the void but: is there a community for professional chemists or laboratory workers like r/chempros or r/labrats?

Upgrades by users immediately after a Debian release place a significant load on the mirror network. In July 2019 the release of buster saw nearly 1GiB/s peak file downloads for several days on some networks, whilst in August 2021 the releasing bullseye caused 1.05GiB/s. That's over 840Gbps network bandwidth! More statistics are available at accum.se/technical/statistics/… #ReleasingDebianBookworm #Debian
in reply to Debian

Some more of the cluster serving as the tier0 mirror for Debian images: mirror.accum.se/about/

The old numbers are rrd-wise smoothed too, so those are several hour averages for past years. The 5-minute peaks were closer to our capacity of 20Gbit/s.

in reply to Debian

would it be a good time to fire up some torrent clients to help spread the load on our small vpses that can chip in a couple of TB/day?

Pay close attention to the Release Notes. They have a lot of helpful information that will make upgrades and new installations go seamless. debian.org/releases/bookworm/a…
in reply to Debian

I've used debian since 2000 or 2001 or thereabouts and this is the first time I'm reading the release notes. 🙂

Before I've just winged it.

It could be that this not reading the release notes is a habit I acquired, because I stayed so many years on testing before I got my first stable upgrade...?

It is already silky smooth. With a slightly wobbly Fedora 38 release, I can see quite a few of those users going Bookworm.
in reply to Debian

Nice! Looking forward to install it on my very old 1Gb RAM laptop, let's see if the installation process will now recognize and suggest one proprietary driver (wifi card).


Preparations for celebrating the planned release on Sat June 10 of Debian 12 "bookworm" are in full swing. Currently Debian Bookworm Release Parties are planned in 3 continents: Bolivia and Brazil; Belgium, Germany, Netherlands and Portugal; and in Iran. See wiki.debian.org/ReleasePartyBo…

La izquierda resiste gracias a los nacionalistas ctxt.es/es/20230501/Politica/4… #External
in reply to modulux

Tal y como pinta ahora la política actual, diría que el BNG es un partido regionalista y que los nacionalistas son la ultraderecha y la derecha. Hay que empezar a no distinguir entre nacionalismo regional o nacionalismo patrio. Este segundo suele ser más peligroso por excluyente.
in reply to Óscar Gorri

Excluyentes pueden ser los dos. Hoy en día diría que el centralista es algo más peligroso pero todo depende del momento. En general el tema de banderas y mezclar el pasaporte con el folklore o tener que defender determinadas ideas históricamente insostenibles me da bastante mal rollo, así que me quedo fuera de ambos.
