Debian hat im August entschieden: weder Verbot noch Freibrief, die Verantwortung bleibt bei den Menschen. Papst Leo XIV. mahnt in seiner Enzyklika „Magnifica Humanitas" sinngemäß: KI darf Menschlichkeit und eigenes Denken nicht verdrängen.

#Introduction I joined after Cambridge Analytica and came back after reading Enshittification. I'm mostly here to enjoy the community and expand what that means beyond the people I usually interact with. I started using #linux with redhat 5.2 but mostly #debian since. I've worked with #PowerElectronics for about 13 years. I like sharing what I know. And I like celebrating what others find interesting. I live in #Seattle and if you do too I'll probably follow you. I volunteer at a tool library.

Well this is a problem… #footiMac won’t boot. It is trying to run fsck on disk before booting but seems to time out after only about 25% and the screen goes blank, requiring a restart which just does the same.

Am I going to have to take the SSD out of this thing and modify fstab to get it to boot? ugh.

Hi everyone!

For our upcoming ISO refreshes, we’re shifting from X11 to XLibre.

Xorg is basically in maintenance mode, XLibre is actively getting updates, security patches, and features. Plus, we're sticking with X for the foreseeable future looks like XFCE is supporting both X and Wayland ❤️

Darin geht’s um meine eigene kleine GoToSocial-Instanz auf Worldnode:

Warum ich sie gebaut habe, wie ich GoToSocial ohne Docker auf Debian 13 eingerichtet habe, wie WebFinger, Relays und nginx zusammenspielen – und wie ich Speicherverbrauch, Backups und Restore-Tests gelöst habe.

Kein „Selfhosting ist Magie“-Gelaber, sondern mein echter Aufbau mit echten Messwerten und den Dingen, über die man beim Basteln wirklich stolpert.

After a few weeks with Debian Stable, I decided yesterday to switch to Debian Testing after all. On more modern computers, it really does make a difference whether I have kernel 6.3 or 7.2 available or can use significantly more up-to-date packages.

Last month I also played around with Debian Sid, and it was absolutely stable for me, though the constant updates—often several times a day—were annoying. So Testing is the perfect compromise for me.

Let me just say this: I still consider Fedora to be the best Linux distribution from a technical standpoint—the absolute gold standard. But unfortunately, in 2026, the world looks like this: Fedora = Red Hat = IBM = Big Tech = USA = Trump. And I absolutely don’t want to use anything from Trump’s shithole country anymore.

So in my experience getting #debian onto my Macbook 2015 ended up without any encryption on the local disk. Performance with LVM was abyssmal. Installing with ZFS on root left me with an unusable system. Something about the way debbootstrap installed during the instructions left me with a version of Linux that could not access the Apple USB devices. It would boot and the kernel would throw a bunch of USB device errors, and it wouldn't recogize the built-in keyboard, so I couldn't even login.

A standard Debian install works fine.

So #debian13 is running just fine. But this is a slow machine. I discovered a tool called eatmydata. It basically shims calls to fsync() system calls and does a no-op instead. (😱) What could possibly go wrong?

But running sudo eatmydata apt install blah blah blah runs way faster than the equivalent apt command.

It has breathed new life into this laptop.

So, #Fedora puts extensions into its "Fedora Flatpak" version of #GnomeTweaks that can't be removed.

This is enclosure shit. I got off corporate software to avoid this.

I need to figure out how to install #Debian on a T2 MacBook.

Doing a #debian #linux install on an older #Macbook (2015) and I went with the easy option of encryption on LVM on root. Performance was unbearable. I'm now following @dwarmstrong 's instructions on how to do encrypted ZFS on root. The performance impact of the encryption isn't even noticeable.

Running the live debian off the USB with the encrypted ZFS mounted during the install runs faster than encrypted LVM running native on the laptop.

Today I tried to install #NetBSD 11 on an old Acer E15 laptop that I had been using as a #Debian CLI-only system.

The install was a little dicey. First one failed, but the second time I was able to go all the way through and configure WiFi on the Edimax N150 USB. I kept getting errors in the console about the BIOS (likely related to the battery, which is pretty dodgy).

X started but really didn't run. I could try messing with it, but I'll probably go to #OpenBSD next.

New blog post: Debian Code Search: Fast TurboPFor with Go SIMD 🥳

This August, I accomplished what I wanted for many years: I deleted the last cgo dependency in Debian Code Search! This was made possible by Go’s recently introduced SIMD support, because now we can implement the TurboPFor integer compression format as efficiently — more efficiently, in fact, by using the newer AVX512 instruction set! — as the reference implementation.

Sending good vibes to everyone in the Debian community navigating the recent transitions. If you're using this moment to do a little distro-hopping, consider jumping over to the BSD side. NetBSD offers a completely independent codebase built on a classic, predictable philosophy. You might just find your new permanent home! 🚩💻

Debian developer Antoine Le Gonidec just quit the project over its decision not to ban #LLM-assisted code contributions:

Pretending to have a "neutral stance" when faced with fascism is not neutrality, it’s active collaboration.

AI slop is fascism materialized. Stop it whenever you can!

｢ What LLMs in Debian development will do, I fear, is eliminate any incentive to scrap boilerplate or reform policies that require a lot of other senseless human effort. If I had had access to LLMs 30 years ago, I might have just had them generate the rules files, replate with complexity. So they will make Debian even more firmly what it is, and ever less likely to explore what it could become ｣

Milestone achieved! For Debian Code Search, I no longer need to use cgo to link in the AVX2-optimized TurboPFor C library that powers our index since 2019: https://michael.stapelberg.ch/posts/2019-09-29-dcs-positional-turbopfor-index/

Instead, thanks to Go 1.27’s SIMD support, I can use AVX2 (and AVX512) natively from Go :)

Turns out that upstream C TurboPFor does not use AVX512 yet, so my Go implementation is now *faster* than C (for our use-case) 😲

So, as of today, Debian Code Search is running with CGO_ENABLED=0 (and GOEXPERIMENT=simd GOAMD64=v3) 🎉

A blog post with more details is in the works, if you’re curious. Let me know if you run into any bugs.
