Last weekend, we reached another milestone in our efforts to have all Debian packages versioned in Salsa (Debian's GitLab instance). Out of around 39000 packages, less than 2000 are not in Salsa! Check trends.debian.net/#vcs-hosting for some cool graphs #debian #salsa #09

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.
Debianites in 5 continents around the world are preparing to celebrate Debian's 32nd birthday next Saturday. Check the list in the link to find an event near you or organize one yourself and add it to the wiki: wiki.debian.org/DebianDay/2025 #debian #debianDay
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.
