Sorry, good write-up, but what’s wrong with your S-key?

Hey, just out of curiosity, which Debian version did you install and when?

The Trixie release shouldn’t mess with your sources at all, just because 12 is being moved to oldstable, you shouldn’t have to do anything.

You wrote that you run a headless server, so when you command an update, it lists you all obsolete packages with a request to run autoremove. Did you miss that or update some other way?

Worst case, if you got a new kernel (200-300M) every week and never removed old ones, you’d end up with 10G obsolete data a year. That’s about what I usually see with old Windows update files in the disk cleanup utility.

Not great either, but at least in the default configuration, Ext4 leaves a 5% reserved space, so that files can’t fill up your partition and make it unresponsive. Windows doesn’t do that…

You’re pointing to my colleague?

Maybe, I can’t really comment on what she did or “deserves” for it. I just know she made some transphobic remarks in the past, which is messed up. But there’s still a difference between someone with a twisted world view and Trump/Putin who actually incarcerate and sponsor torture of people.

However, the discussion was on whether something is “harmful” or not and you may actually argue that her BS doesn’t physically “harm” anyone either, if you try to make that point.

Not trying to defend her at all, but I seriously doubt those are actual examples of the things being said and even if, all of this would cause a regular person psychological distress (or “harm”, even if not physical).

I don’t know how Bulesky’s TOS are worded exactly, but it feels a bit like that whole “Guns don’t kill people, I kill people. With guns.” motif.

Technically, the title doesn’t say “first”, but yeah, kind of. :)

Super anecdotal, but I’ve seen a few instances of those in my time as sysadmin.

Whether it was just failed or malfunctioning updates, I can’t tell, but I’ve had to deal with Windows not starting correctly after automatic updates multiple times.

Then there was the whole bricked HP laptop story recently, where automatic updates just randomly killed a lot of systems. We have multiple HP laptops in the company, though none were affected, but I can’t say I wasn’t sweating a little bit those days.

Same here actually, I first saw those photos in a recent post a few days ago, just can’t remember which one, though.

It is truly a work of art.

Backports are specifically tested for the purpose of being compatible with stable, so there should be no issues.

I can’t really comment on what what gaming desktops need, I feel like you could absolutely play games without the latest drivers at all times, but I don’t play any modern AAA games.

If you need bleeding edge software, then don’t install Debian, for sure. Or go unstable with all the potential issues.

Is that not in Backports?

You feel like… a Night Lord?
