Ah got it.

What do you mean, happened to you yesterday? What happened exactly?

Have you got any references to that?

Another commenter posted an article from over 5 years ago with something close to what you describe, but I don’t think they’d be reacting now to something that happened that long ago.

Sorry I’m out of the loop. What did they get caught doing?

On servers, I agree. OP just wants a recent version of GIMP though. Production can mean many things, and dogmas are never the answer.

You can always use APT Pinning to grab GIMP and its dependencies from testing without touching the rest of the system.

Or you can just run testing or sid as your base system. My gaming rig is based on testing but pulling Mesa and video derivers from experimental and sid and I haven’t had any issues with it. Been running it for about 2 years now this way.

AW2 is DRM-free. I imagine it can be run completely independent of Epic. You’d need the store to purchase and download it but you could probably even uninstall the Epic app afterwards. I haven’t tested this though, so please don’t just take my word for it.

Such good memories! This is an amazing game!

Agree. RDR2 may not be the best test of high end hardware though, since it was already beautiful on the PS4. It’s just incredibly well optimised.

Ah NFS… It’s so good when it works! When it doesn’t though, figuring out why is like trying to navigate someone else’s house in pitch dark.

I haven’t finished watching season 4, so maybe I haven’t seen what you’re referring to. Which episode(s) have this irrelevant stuff?

The Boys has been political since the very first second of S1E1. The whole premise is political.

I’ve been using glauth + Authelia for a couple years with no issues and almost zero maintenance.

Yes, absolutely. Ideally there would be an automated check that runs periodically and alerts if things don’t work as expected.

Monitoring if the backup task succeeded is important but that’s tue easy part of ensuring it works.

A backup is only working if it can be restored. If you don’t test that you can restore it in case of disaster, you don’t really know if it’s working.

Ah got it. I didn’t know there was a free tier!

How do you use ChatGPT anonymously? It requires a valid login linked to a payment method. It doesn’t get any less anonymous than that.

The main “instability” I’ve found with testing or sid is just that because new packages are added quickly, sometimes you’ll have dependency clashes.

Pretty much every time the package manager will take care of keeping things sane and not upgrading a package that will cause any incompatibility.

The main issue is if at some point you decide to install something that has conflicting dependencies with something you already have installed. Those are usually solvable with a little aptitude-fu as long as there are versions available to sort things out neatly.

A better first step to newer packages is probably stable with backports though.

Not much use to go Ubuntu or Mint, unless you have specific issues with Debian that don’t happen with those. Even then, it may be one apt install away from a fix.

If you want to try out BSD, power to you. I wouldn’t experiment on a backup computer though, unless by backup you just mean you want to have the spare hardware and will format it with Debian if you ever need to make it your main computer anyway.

Otherwise, just run Debian!

I fairly constantly need to disable Bluetooth on my iPad so they work on my phone.

If you put the headphones in pairing mode, you can just re-pair with the phone without having to touch the iPad.
