This weekend's project:
Replaced my with a new one. I had been running a based one since 2020, and it didn't deal well with an in-place upgrade.

New machine set up on 12, with a bunch of tips stolen from @mwl 's book Run Your Own Mail Server and from workaround.org/ispmail-bookwor

    I'm not sure what happened, but ever since updating my #swaywm-running #ThinkPad x260 to #Debian #Trixie, the fonts in the #foot terminal look a lot smaller by default.

    None of the configs have changed.

    This is supposed to be 12 point. Does it look like 12 to you?

    A screenshot of my terminal's new default font size, with the line defining the font and size from the foot.ini config file viewed in neovim:


```config
font=JetBrainsMono Nerd Font Mono:size=12,Noto Color Emoji:size=14
```

      A few days into the Debian trixie Soft Freeze. So far so good! Still able to post on mastodon. What else does a person really need?

        Honestly, a yearly #Debian upgrade would be heavenly.

        That, or find some wonky way to put the entire GUI/DE in flatpak. XD

          Another #poll for my #Debian peeps:

          When in the stable release lifecycle do you upgrade from stable to testing?

          Please leave a comment if none of the options apply, like if you upgrade to testing after a certain number of freezes take place, or just right before the stable release, or whatnot.

          I *always* run testing:1
          3 months after the stable rel. (1/8th of the way):0
          6 months after the stable release (1/4):0
          9 months after the stable release (3/8ths):0
          1 yr after stable (halfway):0
          9 months before next stable (5/8ths):0
          6 months before the next stable (3/4 of the way):0
          3 months before the next stable (7/8ths of the way:0
          I don't ever run Debian (or a derivative) testing.:0
          None of the above (comment):0

                Since I’m at the BSP I can’t attend the conference - I have a paid ticket, not sure if this is transferable? Maybe this can be given to someone else?!

                        Eh...

                        It's a rolling release, so it's got that going for it, but a lot/most of their custom utilities (such as the package manager) is still on Python 2, which is... not good.

                        /usr/bin/python is even a symlink to python2 which is really not good.

                        Small team. Looks like the original dev, who started a new distro, is going to re-work a lot of those things, which will be the basis for Solus going forward, so there's a lot of hope for newer and better utilities.

                        To be clear, my only real complaint so far is the python2-ness of it.

                        Also, they don't have a ksh package (which some of my scripts require), but I managed to compile the standard ksh2020.

                        I don't know if I will stay. #Python2 is kind of a deal-breaker.

                        Still slowly replicating my #KDE #Plasma setup from my work #Debian box. I have a lot of custom keybinds that make it a little more like i3/sway for me.

                        My other options are Debian testing, #FreeBSD (probably will lose the ability to run KSP), or #OpenSuSE tumbleweed (if they can ever just enable polkit by default, already).

                              I think I have removed all the Wayland bits that I can from my Debian OS. I don't need stuff I do not use on my system. I tried Wayland the other day and some of my programs didn't even work. That was the last straw.

                                this nearly 15-year-old macbook air is still a perfectly good computer but apple forbids upgrades. a colossal waste of electronics, at scale.

                                installed like a champ. is delightful. is easy and keeps apps up-to-date. everything works perfectly.

                                i’m just… so grateful. 🙏❤️

                                      In this and News video, we have the Freedesktop.org project (and all it hosts, so Mesa, X.org, Wayland, and more) looking for new, expensive hosting.

                                      We also have leaving X/Twitter (congrats on that, btw), Facebook blocking links and mentions of Linux for a while, and more!
