Yes, because of explicit configuration telling the 'readline' library to do so on each host.

The configuration file for key bindings, '/etc/inputrc', contains this (installed by the #Debian package):

```
# mappings for Ctrl-left-arrow and Ctrl-right-arrow for word moving
"\e[1;5C": forward-word
"\e[1;5D": backward-word
"\e[5C": forward-word
"\e[5D": backward-word
"\e\e[C": forward-word
"\e\e[D": backward-word
```

In the absence of that configuration I think those wouldn't work.

Anybody out there that has found a #linux app for photo transfer from #android? I often find when you have thousands of photos and the phone is a bit old, transfers keep timing out. Makes the job nearly impossible. Any way to reliably move 10,000 pictures in one go?

Here's my mountpoints on this #debian box broken up by mount point root:

$ mount |sed -E 's/^.* on //; s|^(/[^/]+)[/[:space:]].*$|\1|' |cut -f1 -d' ' |uniqsort
      1 /
      1 /boot
      1 /media
      1 /tmp
      3 /proc
      5 /dev
      8 /run
     10 /sys

And by fs type:

$ mount |sed 's/^.* type //; s/ .*$//' |uniqsort
      1 autofs
      1 binfmt_misc
      1 bpf
      1 cgroup2
      1 configfs
      1 debugfs
      1 devpts
      1 devtmpfs
      1 efivarfs
      1 fusectl
      1 fuse.portal
      1 hugetlbfs
      1 mqueue
      1 proc
      1 pstore
      1 securityfs
      1 sysfs
      1 tracefs
      1 vfat
      2 ext4
      4 ramfs
      5 tmpfs

Go ahead and let me know what I should do with all... THAT.

Ok, this is serious. The client has had an HPE ProLiant ML110 Gen11 Server in production for more or less a year, purchased new. As usual in their setup, we installed Proxmox (8.1, available at the time of installation) right from the start.
They need to standardize, and since some internal employees need to manage the VMs, Proxmox has been the ideal choice for the last 11 years.

Everything was fine, the server was in production for months without any issues. Suddenly, about a month and a half ago, they realize that the fan is always running at maximum speed. They move the workloads to another server, no difference. Now that it's idle, they try to restart it, but it doesn't change. They try booting with a System Rescue CD - the fans are still at maximum. We update Proxmox, no difference. They open it up to check, the fans are clean.

We contact HP support, they ask for the operating system - I send Proxmox, the Proxmox version, and the kernel version. I’m attaching just the latest response:
"Dear customer,
I’m sharing with you the matrices of operating systems managed by HPE and which may have different compatibility depending on the models:

HPE Servers Support & Certification Matrices
https://www.hpe.com/us/en/collaterals/collateral.a50010841enw.html

Proxmox 8 is not among those operating systems that are certified for firmware on HPE servers.

I asked you to inform yourself about the OS and kernel version because the kernel source codes refer to particular versions of Redhat, so it might fall under compatibility, and therefore it would make sense to install this operating system on your server model."

Proxmox isn't "certified". Debian isn't "certified".

Needless to say, the fiery response was sent. If they don't manage the issue... well, we’ll wait. Stay tuned!

New blogpost: "Backing up the photos on an iPhone to a computer running Debian Linux using rsync"

This was way easier than I had anticipated.

tl;dr:

• plug in the phone
• "trust" it
• fiddle a bit to get it mounted (see post)
• run rsync
• ???
• profit!

ZFS and PBS are simply awesome - and you can use it on BSD but also on Linux! It ensures your data integrity and provides you additional benefits with features like compression and deduplication. Imagine this disk space usage without it?!

Wanna try #Linux currently?
Try:
#ArchLinux
#Debian

Both are amazing!

If you are a total newbie:
Use #Debian

Had a quite powerful #Ryzen mini PC laying around.... aaaand now it runs #FreeBSD

Gathering some ideas currently on what to serve on the system (It will be the second server next to my #Debian mini pc which runs a plethora of containers)

I can't get the Bluetooth module of an Intel AX201 card to discover nearby devices using Debian / Linux 6.11.10, and it is bugging me

I'm going to bed now but, if anyone has any direct personal experience of this, or indeed any informed thoughts (having first read what I've already tried, please!), I'd welcome them.
