With the "archival" of buster-backports a few days ago the Releases file disappeared so the archive has effectively already gone.

are you under attack? Or is the website just extremely slow? (In either case, do you need support?)


TIL Jacques Lusseyran went blind at age 7. At age 14, alarmed by the Nazi's rise to power, he learned German to understand Hitlers speeches. At age 17 he was leader in the French resistance, and was sent to Buchenwald concentration camp. He was among the 990 out of 2000 French prisoners to survive.

SDL 3.0 Will Now Prefer PipeWire Over PulseAudio

For the widely-used SDL hardware/software abstraction layer that is commonly used by cross-platform games, the upcoming SDL 3.0 release now has the logic to be able to prefer using PipeWire directly rather than PulseAudio when successfully detecting the presence of PipeWire...

TIL that Mike Tyson went bankrupt in 2003. Despite having earned $400 million from boxing, examples of reckless spending included $6.3 million on luxury cars and $580K on his 30th birthday party. He has improved his financial situation and now receives $900K/month from his cannabis company, however.

Tohle je zajímavé téma. Do ledna 2022 se zde totiž skrývala jedna malá záludnost o které málokdo tuši. Za určitých okolností totiž taková povinnost existovala. Od 1. ledna 2022 už tak ale není. Takže se můžete těšit na to, že to po vás “příslušník” bude vyžadovat, protože (pro změnu) nebude tušit, že je to jinak. kolotipy.cz/2024/04/04/tip-je-…

Bits from the DPL bits.debian.org/2024/04/bits-f…
in reply to Debacle

@debacle @valhalla I think it's almost always a good idea to define each acronym the first time it is used, in any kind of document.

In this case, bits.debian.org/2024/04/bits-f… is a fairly long text with "DPL" mentioned more than 20 times. Writing it out the first time would not take much space, and would help make the text a little bit more welcoming to newcomers.

@eliasr @debacle @valhalla

Hi from the Press Team! You are correct, sometimes we edit things and sometimes we do not, oft is is essential that the speaker speaks as intended and our edits would change the flow of the intention, so we leave them in.

Recently we are addressing this with a few policy changes on editing articles or submissions for publication, we of course invite you to join us: wiki.debian.org/Teams/Publicit…
