OK, just found about #fastforward on #Debian. Can someone explain the difference to #backports
#backports
I'm constantly having trouble discovering what #debian's #security story is supposed to be.
They claim updates keep secure, except #backports doesn't give any guarantees for security. But then you have package 'tor": updates provide old version with risks, while backports provide up-to-date version.
#AppArmor is provided but most profiles aren't up-to-date so enforcing is risky. Ubuntu restricts unprivileged-unconfined apps to prevent unnecessarily exposing some vulnerabilities. Debian doesn't
For all the little guys who want to have their infrastructure under control, I would like to inform you that I took the trouble to compile the Zabbix installation packages for the 32-bit #ARM, i.e. for the Raspberry PI2
No one will probably use the Zabbix server on such weak hardware, but the Zabbix proxy works on my RPi2 with 1Gb of ram without any problems, so I can imagine that it could work for someone else too.
So if you need to monitor, like me, a /26 network and don't want to dedicate a gluttonous old PC to it or speculate on which virtual machine to use, reach for your good old Raspberry and give it a new purpose and life.

Cherry pick packages from "testing" or go all the way?

Aber eigentlich reicht auch stable, das ichbauf meinem Reiselaptop habe. Wo braucht man denn unbedingt die neueste Version? Für einzelne Programme kann man im Bedarfsfall auch oft eine neuere Version über die #backports bekommen.

Ho To Use Debian Backports In Trixie
Are we #Manjaro #Linux users just NOT getting the latest #security #updates / #backports, in due time, or am i not gas-lightable enough?
It's been weeks, since there's been "a big batch", or something looking significant.
On #Ubuntu, i've had a few updates every week! Currently, Manjaro only gives me Discord(why is this shit still installed?!), Chromium, and Firefox.
...not much else!
Is Manjaro TOO "slow-rolling"? ..kinda feels like, imho! (I'm not feeling taken care of / curated enough.)
Auch so ein typisches #Linux-Ding: #Kernel und #nvidia-Module neu kompilieren, #backports anpassen und die ganze #Konfiguration abgrasen, bevor man mal daran denkt zu gucken, ob die Kinder am Monitor-Kabel gepult haben...
Was soll ich sagen, so eine IT-Professur zu haben schadet manchmal mehr als sie nützt 😅 :facepalm:

As an aside, LMDE (Debian) works just fine for me for #gaming. #RetroArch runs great, there are no issues with Feral #Gamemode or #SELinux issues (unlike my most recent tests with Fedora or openSUSE), I use #flatpaks so my gaming applications come with their own updated mesa and other drivers, and if I need a newer kernel I could always hit up #backports. And nvidia sucks so I wouldn't bother with them anyway.
If I really needed to I could always run #testing or #unstable.
While we all wait for the images to build and be tested and while the archive continues to be prepared so work on #forky can start (and #backports for #trixie can be done), how about some statistics?
Not the usual boring stuff like #package #numbers (MANY - 70753 binary packages from 34735 #source packages) or architecture space (lots, multiple hundred gigabytes per architecture), can find that in enough places.
How about this? The main #archive now has 54 suites (stable, testing, stable-backports, unstable but also the NEW queue are all suites). They all have 3 or 4 components (main, contrib, non-free, non-free-firmware) and can contain up to 19 different architectures (#trixie has 9 of them). Those suites are split over 9 archives - the public ones are those you see in the #Debian mirrors as different parts of them, others are purely internal functionality (NEW queue, buildd for example).
Curious for the #security archive? That has 17 suites in 5 archives.
Aus einem anderen Tröt heraus wurde bemängelt das bei #Debian die Versionssprünge recht lang sind und diverse Software somit recht alt ist
Unter #Debian konnte man schon immer die neuesten Versionen nutzen
Zum einen mit #backports
https://backports.debian.org
So habe ich mir #kicad9 für #bookworm geholt
Oder mit #Appimage
Einfach runterladen mit einem Klick ausführbar machen & das Programm zum starten anklicken wie hier mit
#freecad & #arduino
Бобер который смог: бекпорт Golang на Windows 7
После того как нам удалось сделать это с Node.js , занялись поиском следующей жертвы, которой после недолгих раздумий стал компилятор Go . Полгода жестоких экспериментов и удивительный результат.
