Das ist schon seit vielen Jahren nicht mehr so, weil die Änderungen bei #Firefox (und #Chromium) für #Debian nicht mehr mit realistischem Aufwand zu reviewen sind. Es ist aber bei allen anderen Packages weiterhin so.

D.h. Debian hat eigentlich immer (natürlich mit kurzer Verzögerung) die neueste #Firefox-ESR-Version drin. Neuer geht nicht. Die Website macht den Fehler.

@daumenlutscher

Das ist ein Fehler der jeweiligen Website. Am besten die Meldung ignorieren oder mittels #uBlockOrigin wegfiltern.

In #Debian stable ist #Firefox 140.8.0esr-1, was auch die allerneueste ESR-Version ist.

Mehr kannst Du nicht machen, außer solche fehlerhaften Websites meiden 🤷

Brandaktueller #Firefox unter #Debian13 zeigt mir auf einigen Webseiten dass ich einen veralteten Browser nutze und den neuesten herunterladen und installieren soll.
.
Durch was wird diese Meldung angezeigt und wie kann man das verhindern?

#Firefox #Linux #Debian

@ij

Und ich war so naiv anzunehmen, daß das ganze #Ceph-Zeug komplett in #Debian drin ist, ohne externe Abhängigkeiten. Was genau braucht man von ceph.com bzw. was fehlt in Debian?

Das mit dem #Ceph auf #Debian installieren, stellt sich die Doku auf https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/cephadm/install/ aber auch einfacher vor als es tatsaechlich ist.

Wenn ist cephadm aus Debian nehme, will mir das das Repo fuer trixie anlegen. Ceph hat aber auf https://download.ceph.com/debian-squid/dists/ nur bookworm anzubieten.

Per curl das cephadm zu installieren, das das mir dann ein rpm-noarch auf die Kiste zieht, ist nun nicht unbedingt meine favorisierte Variante...

Naja... mal schauen, was die Reise noch alles mit sich bringt...

Come see edge AI in action on the Toradex Aquila AM69, in a containerized ML model deployment on Torizon.

A MiniDebConf Kanpur 2026 poster with IIT Kanpur wall in the background. Foreground text says "Date: 14th and 15th March", "MiniDebConf Kanpur 2026", MDC Kanpur logo of a bird with Debian swirl. "Registration open!" and "Registration close 10th March"

I wanted to test Playwright on my Arch Linux, but that software is a pain to install (which is rare on Arch), even with the AUR package. It's built for Debian-based distributions, and installing dependencies is a mess.

I was thinking about using Debian in a chroot, then I remembered the Distrobox project, which uses Podman with deep integration. This was a perfect use case for it, and it works super well. Kudos to the people involved!

Debian thanks all the contributors building and nurturing the FOSS ecosystem and wishes everyone a very happy "I Love Free Software Day" https://fsfe.org/activities/ilovefs/ #debian #ilovefs #02

I use SIP, too — for calls to/from POTS! Both Ekiga and Linphone were pretty good, but got dropped from #Debian 😞 Now I use Twinkle and will try Gnome Calls, again.

TTBOMK, #Monal by @Monal used to have one or the other known issue with A/V calls. Sth. with timing, IIRC? Maybe it's fixed now.

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.

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.
