Re: [Software] How can I update to Debian 12.2 from Debian 12?
I think that the issue sounds similar to this recent thread . The TLDR is that the file times got out of whack somehow, which stopped the updates from happening and used these commands to fix them: #mv /var/lib/apt/lists/ /var/lib/apt/lists-SAVE/ #apt update I hate to resurrect a thread, but I just...

Re: [Installation] Installing radar omega
Right click it, click properties, then under I believe the permissions tab should be a checkbox to allow running it as an executable. Check that box, then you should have the option to run it.

Re: [Installation] After choosing to install a web server during the installation process, what happends?
As has been stated; it's apache2. The default location of web directories is /var/www and your apache config is in /etc/apache2 . You also have auxiliary commands to modify apache's config: - a2enmod - Enables the specified module - a2dismod - Disables the specified module - a2ensite - Enables the s...

Re: Which laptop do YOU run Debian on?
Up until recently I was using like a 2017-2018 model Lenovo Ideapad 330S with a Ryzen 5 2500U. It did great, but I needed more RAM and the plastic chassis wasn't holding up that well any more. I recently upgraded to a Lenovo Ideapad 82SG with a Ryzen 7 5825U, double the RAM and a metal chassis; only...

Does rBash Apply to SystemD Services?
I have no immediate security concerns or anything, I'm just curious and thinking out loud. One of the services I host on my personal/home server is a Minecraft Java Edition server. I have it publicly available because a handful of friends also play on it. I created a separate user account specifical...

Re: Considering the Switch to ZFS, Educate Me Please
I ended up just sticking with mdadm+LUKS+EXT4 . It's what I've been using so I know it works and Debian's implementation already checks a lot of the same boxes, even if I'm using multiple different products to do it. I also ended up returning the drives because they came from a third party and were ...

Re: Considering the Switch to ZFS, Educate Me Please
Hi there, I don't have much experience with RAID or ZFS so I can't say much about performance but I think I can answer some of your questions. ZFS handles disk failure a lot better, however, it is not maintenance free. You need to scrub the system regularly (I recommend once a month because it puts...

Considering the Switch to ZFS, Educate Me Please
So I've got three new drives on the way to upgrade my server. The old ones are going to get repurposed or sold. My home server is running headless Debian that I've set up and configured the way I like and what I've been doing is: mdadm (RAID 5) -> LUKS encrypted container -> EXT4 filesystem This has...

Changing Vanity Name of an MDADM Array
Title pretty much says it all. Right now with mdadm -D /dev/md0, and when reading /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf , the name of the array is name=adams-server:0 . Is changing the name of the array as simple as editing mdadm.conf and rebooting, or do I need to do something else to actually write that name into...

Help Me Understand Cryptography A Little Better Please
So, as somebody who isn't a cryptography expert, let me see if I understand something right. I hope y’all don’t mind me trying to educate myself, and would appreciate some high level/layman type feedback so that I can at least have a big picture idea of how the encryption is working, and what is or ...

Re: PCIe USB Expansion Card Breaks Ethernet
Could this be an issue with running out of PCIe lanes? Yes it could be. The card in question is not relevant but more likely how the motherboard handles that x16 slot. Look for a block diagram of the motherboard and note the choices. Better motherboards may have pci-e bifurcation settings. Cheaper ...

PCIe USB Expansion Card Breaks Ethernet
Debian stable (bullseye). Older hardware; an Alvorix motherboard and an AMD Phenom II x6 1045t CPU. System is acting as a home server/NAS and is headless; no GUI installed. The on-board ethernet is only 100Mbps, so some years ago I installed a PCIeX1 gigabit card. I also just installed a PCIeX1 SATA...

Allow Firewall Ports Only for Certain Users
Let's say I've allowed a range of ports and forwarded that same range in my router. Is there a way to specify a firewall rule where that range of ports is only accessible to processes running under a certain username? Like, let's say I have opened port 80 in my firewall, that the user www will use i...

Yeah but then you won't get kernel updates automatically and will have to manually check for and install them.
