Rust Is Coming To Debian’s APT Package Manager
A maintainer of Debian’s Advanced Package Tool (APT) “has announced plans to introduce hard Rust dependencies into APT starting May 2026,” reports the blog It’s FOSS.
The integration targets critical areas like parsing .deb, .ar, and tar files plus HTTP signature verification using Sequoia. [APT maintainer Julian Andres Klode] said these components “would strongly benefit from m … ⌘ Read more

Debian to add hard Rust dependency to APT
It seems like a number of Debian ports are going to face difficult times over the coming months. Debian developer Julian Andres Klode has sent a message to the Debian mailing lists that APT will very soon start requiring Rust. I plan to introduce hard Rust dependencies and Rust code into APT, no earlier than May 2026. This extends at first to the Rust compiler and standard library, and the Sequoia ecosystem. In particular, our code to parse .deb, . … ⌘ Read more
DebDroid - Debian on Android (v1.1)
Hello guys! I’m happy to share DebDroid, a free and open-source project that aims to bring a real Debian environment to Android devices. It is not Termux-based, nor a simple proot-based wrapper, but a real, near-native chroot environment running on top of the Android kernel.
The project is built around a heavily modified version of the Kali Nethunter’s script I’ve developed 3 years ago. This new version (DebDroid) brings greatly improved security, isolation and additional compatibility patch … ⌘ Read more
@dce@hashnix.club Apart from the crap produced in Redmond two decades ago, I only ever used and still happily use Linux, mainly Debian and Ubuntu. I’ve no idea, but maybe something in there catches your eye: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_operating_systems (I know, what a silly recommendation.)

You can explicitly use colors in manpages. I saw this in the

apt manpage of Ubuntu recently, which, for some reason, uses blue text in one place:
Ah, so apparently they don’t like writing manpages anymore and instead use XML:
https://salsa.debian.org/apt-team/apt/-/blob/main/doc/apt.8.xml
And then they use XSLT on top and what not:
https://salsa.debian.org/apt-team/apt/-/blob/main/doc/manpage-style.xsl.cmake.in
It’s not even explicitly blue:

Fedora change aims for 99% package reproducibility
The effort to ensure that open-source software is reproducible has been gathering steam over the years, and gaining traction with major Linux distributions. Debian, for example, has been working toward reproducible builds for more than a decade; it can now produce official live CDs of the current stable release that are reproducible. Fedora started on the path much later, but it has progressed far enough that the project is now con … ⌘ Read more
Interesting.. so running into an issue where queries only return a partal set of rows if i run in a docker image built from scratch. i have to add the debian root image for it to work. I wonder what file is missing that the root has?
Exploring the (discontinued) hybrid Debian GNU/kFreeBSD distribution
For decades, Linux and BSD have stood as two dominant yet fundamentally different branches of the Unix-like operating system world. While Linux distributions, such as Debian, Ubuntu, and Fedora, have grown to dominate the open-source ecosystem, BSD-based systems like FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and NetBSD have remained the preferred choice for those seeking security, performance, and licensing flexibility. … ⌘ Read more
@mckinley@twtxt.net for me:
- a wall mount 6U rack which has:
- 1U patch panel
- 1U switch
- 2U UPS
- 1U server, intel atom 4G ram, debian (used to be main. now just has prometheus)
- 1U patch panel
- a mini ryzon 16 core 64G ram, fedora (new main)
- multiple docker services hosted.
- multiple docker services hosted.
- synology nas with 4 2TB drives
- turris omnia WRT router -> fiber uplink
network is a mix of wireguard, zerotier.
- wireguard to my external vms hosted in various global regions.
- this allows me ingress since my ISP has me behind CG-NAT
- this allows me ingress since my ISP has me behind CG-NAT
- zerotier is more for devices for transparent vpn into my network
i use ssh and remote desktop to get in and about. typically via zerotier vpn. I have one of my VMs with ssh on a backup port for break glass to get back into the network if needed.
everything has ipv6 though my ISP does not provide it. I have to tunnel it in from my VMs.
