The next #Debian release is codenamed "Duke". The namesake Toy Story character:

Duke Caboom (voiced by Keanu Reeves) is an amiable Canadian daredevil toy with a white outfit, a horseshoe mustache, and a toy motorcycle. He suffers from low self-esteem due to believing that he let down his previous owner Rejean, unable to do the stunts that his commercial ads had promised. Duke Caboom is a parody of the Evel Knievel Rally Stunt Cycle by the Ideal Toy Company.

#Debian 13 #trixie stable has #ejabberd 24.12.

In case it is affected, I hope, there will be a patched version in time.

EDIT: It has been pointed out to me, that the problem is not as severe as it might sound. Connections to servers with s2s dialback will continue to work. I assume/hope, that most servers do have that mechanism enabled.

I just did some cleanups of the sid-pgdg suite on apt.postgresql.org, removing some very old extension packages for postgresql-8.x. These were files from the very beginning of the archive in 2011. It's been a while... 🐘 #postgresql #debian

This year, #Microsoft will be sunsetting #Publisher in favor of #WinWord . I don't mind letting them believe their own lies about how #MSWord is a #DTP tool for professionals. But I need options that will work on #Debian #Linux . Options other than #LibreOffice because that's too expansive. I just need a proper DTP tool with the ease of #QuarkXPress . Suggestions, please!

Bin weitgehend von "direktem" #TeXLaTeX weg und nutze nur noch #orgmode mit M-x org-latex-export-to-pdf 🙂 Kollaborativ arbeiten kann man direkt in #Emacs mit #crdt.el.

#Typst oder #SILE kämen für mich erst infrage, wenn sie in #Debian drin sind. Externe Pakete machen auf Dauer nur Ärger.

Wenn jemand #Prosody als #XMPP Server auf einem #Debian System einrichten will, kann man sich ja mal die Seite im Wiki ansehen https://wiki.debian.org/Prosody/HowTo

Ich habe versucht einen kleinen Überblick zu geben, was man alles so beachten sollte und dann den Link zu offiziellen Dokumentation hinterlegt.

Ich habe privat schon einige Jahre ein Prosody auf Debian laufen und bin damit sehr zufrieden. Chat, Datei, Audio- Videocalls funktionieren (abhängig vom Client) super.

#didit

@mntmn

At $DAYJOB we have #Prosody by @prosodyim as server for ≈ 40 users. #Debian stable. Clients are #Dino by @dino and #Gajim by @gajim. Again Debian stable.

And for mobile users #Conversations_im by @daniel and #Monal by @Monal.

I have installed both #ConverseJS by @jcbrand and #Prose by @prose, but they have ≈ 1 user each.

The #Debian stickers for #FOSDEM2026 have been delivered at the booth in hallway H level 1 https://nav.fosdem.org/l/h-02/

https://mastodon.opportunis.me/@olasd/115945478110269234

Today we did a #linuxinstallparty at the IT club.

https://www.ideal35.fr/

I helped a lady install #Debian. A colleague helped someone install #Mint, and another installed Mint on his own. My wife helped someone get to grips with #Ubuntu, and afterwards I tweaked Debian to make sure the splash screen runs over the text messages.

Not bad even if we had to fight with the BIOS to get into some of the systems.

The call for proposals for MiniDebConf Kanpur is open and the deadline is just 10 days away! We are also inviting sponsors to help make the event happen. If you are interested to be a sponsor, please check out https://kanpur2026.mini.debconf.org/about/become-a-sponsor/ #debian #DebianIndia #MiniDebConf #MiniDebConfKanpur

Kennt Dein System eigentlich #XMPP / #Jabber?

```
$ grep jabber /etc/services
```

@ben @ianthetechie

I'm mainly using #Gajim by @gajim on #Debian desktop and #Dino by @dino on my #Mobian smartphone.

I don't run Android or iOS, but friends use #Conversations_im by @daniel on the former and #Monal by @Monal on the latter. Or their respective #Quicksy flavours, which are slightly easier to onboard for less tech-savvy people.

#Jabber

Meet @debian at @fosdem2026 next weekend! Our booth will be at building H level 1. And Andreas Tille, the current Debian Project Leader, will give a talk titled 32 years of Debian: how a do-ocracy keeps evolving https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/H3KFYZ-32_years_of_debian_how_a_do-ocracy_keeps_evolving/ #debian #fosdem #fosdem2026 #01

Ich lauf sehr selten mit einem #Smartphone herum. Allerdings habe ich eigentlich fast immer ein 11,6" Laptop und einen mobilen LTE Router dabei. 🤷 Was nicht so gut klappt, sind spontane Selfies. 🥳

Auf dem Gerät läuft ein #Debian #GNU #Linux (testing). Zum telefonieren kann ich gnome-calls mit einem SIP-Account verwenden. Zum chatten nutze ich auf dem Gerät @dino. Ich habe die Tage sogar ein ein paar mal Videotelefonie mit #Conversations auf der anderen Seite ausprobiert. Hat gut funktioniert.

"Some" @debian stickers will be available at #FOSDEM2026 #Debian #HexStickers

Not sure about the domain name but this is a great writeup on how to use #Debian #Edu on #Incus https://docs-debian-edu-b1ae44b4761a2fc054c89a05c736a43aafc6b255c47dcfe.pages.debian.net/testing-debian-edu-with-incus.html

Bin im Rahmen von #didit dabei, einen #Macbook Air von 2014 auf Linux umzustellen. Die Frage ist, #LinuxMint (basiert auf #Ubuntu) oder #LMDE (basiert auf #Debian)? Wer hat Erfahrungen oder Dos/Don'ts?

Reminder to myself:

"The 27th #Debian #Conference is in #SantaFe, #Argentina, Monday July 20th to Saturday July 25th 2026. #DebCamp will be held from Monday July 13th to Sunday July 19th 2026."

Note, that #Gajim 2.4.1 is now in #Debian 14 #forky (#testing).

But don't expect it in #backports. Too many new dependencies, sorry!

I love this new feature:

#Jabber

Historic moment!

This weekend a "non-technical" friend and me installed #Debian 13 on their notebook computer, removing their previous OS. They is happy!

Historic moment, because I'm promoting #freeSoftware for three fckng decades to them. Now it's done.

Next step: Convince them of using the #Dino #Jabber client instead of unencrypted email with me. Maybe next decade?

Debian 13 "trixie" has been released, thanks to everyone involved! "trixie" images are available for download at https://www.debian.org/distrib/ or you can run apt full-upgrade as always ;-) #debian #debian13 #trixie #ReleasingDebianTrixie

The Debian publicity team will provide live coverage of the #ReleasingDebianTrixie process; follow us via Debian Micronews or your favorite social network! #debian #debian13 #trixie
