So there's a decades-old mechanism (and actual standard) how programs lock serial ports on unix-like systems in /var/lock. it's used in practice even in 2025 and #systemd >= 258 simply breaks it with "we don't care". I am not a systemd opponent, but that kind of behaviour [without a prior community-wide discussion or providing patches for known-affected projects and a grace period] is just alienating users and developers github.com/systemd/systemd/iss… bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrep… #systemd #debian

/var/lock/ is the standard interface for locks of serial devices

Over a week on #Gnome and #Debian now. And I must say that I love it. Never thought that I would say this. Has it still its quirks? Yes. But way less than I thought. And Gnome + their UI framework makes the apps look so georgous now. Really impressed by the quality of all those apps. OpenSource does not need to look ugly. Seems like #libadwaita makes it really straightforward to build beautiful apps.

A big thank you to all amazing open-source contributors to that ecosystem.

Hey, Linux people: a LOT of folks are screaming off Windows right now.

Be. Kind. To. Them.

They don't know much yet, so they are going to ask really basic questions. If you're KIND, you might get some to give it a try and stick to it bc they know they can ask for help. If you're unkind, you're showing them using Linux will be *worse* than Windows. If you can't bring yourself to be kind, then SAY NOTHING. Let others pick up that slack.

Yesterday was #DebianDay , celebrating the release of #Debian #Trixie !

So far, I have updated: 9 physical machines (including 7 Raspberry Pis running #Debian, not Raspbian), 23 Docker containers running full Debian including cron, systemd, and the usual services (thanks to my salsa.debian.org/jgoerzen/dock… ), and one other VM, for a total of 33 installations upgraded.

Yet to be done: 3 servers in the cloud, 3 laptops, and a Raspberry Pi 400 that's my daughter's computer.

I have been using #trixie in testing mode for a couple of months. Its been very stable and I'm so impressed that we are moving the company across from the snap-infested Kubuntu

All the archive work to support trixie and preparations for development of forky is now done; image testing continues, and once the images team signs off, everything can be published to the mirror network. #debian #debian13 #trixie #forky #ReleasingDebianTrixie

The installer images for amd64 and arm64, and live image for amd64 are built and the other architectures are following. They will be publicly available after extensive testing. Any issues discovered during the testing are added to the errata lists to be published alongside the release. #debian #debian13 #trixie #ReleasingDebianTrixie
