📰 CERN Transitioning To Debian After Being A Longtime RHEL Institution

CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, besides being well known for its Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is known among longtime Linux users as a RHEL/CentOS shop. CERN formally even co-maintained the Scientific Linux RHEL derivative with other educational/research institutions in the past. So to much surprise now, CERN is transitioning to Debian Linux...

📰 I spent hours debugging Docker permissions until one number in my compose file fixed everything

Homelabbing looks straightforward, and it is, until you run into something. Since each setup is different, the solutions aren’t always the same, or documented. A similar thing happened to me a few months ago. While setting up Nextcloud on my homelab Debian server, I faced a permission denied error.

📰 KDE's proposed LLM policy discussion gets locked after a fiery community clash

With the Linux kernel accepting LLM submissions, distro developers are beginning to ask themselves if AI code has a place within their own project. We've seen distros take both sides, with Gentoo and Void choosing the anti-AI option while Debian allowing only high-quality LLM-generated content. Now, it's KDE's turn to work out what level of LLM-made content is allowed, and the community has some strong thoughts from both camps.

📰 I swapped TrueNAS for Debian and Cockpit on my 8GB home server, and got 2.5GB of RAM back

📰 The best thing about Debian is how old all of its software is

Debian’s old software is often discussed as its biggest weakness when compared to other distros. But when I picked Debian for my own home server, I specifically chose it because of those years-old versions. I am running bare-metal Debian on an old business laptop with more than 20 stacks, and Debian is the least concerning element in the homelab, and that sounds the opposite for software this old.

📰 I built a $15 ESP32 display that shows exactly what my home server is doing

My home Debian server runs on a repurposed Dell Latitude laptop and hosts more than 20 self-hosted services. Soon after building the server, I learned about the importance of monitoring. I always have multiple monitoring and management tools inside and outside the server, like Pulse, Beszel, and Komodo. But they all have one gap: I have to open a dashboard or an app (ntfy) on my phone to check my server status.
