Installing pihole 6 on Debian Sid:

You _may_ encounter a "dependency unmet error".

To fix - manually install "bind9-dnsutils" and "lshw", then edit basic-install.sh and find the creation of the debian-meta.deb package. Modify the dependency to look for bind9-dnsutils instead of just dnsutils.

Then - run the base-install.sh.

I’ve been fighting sound and WiFi issues on my 2024 #razerblade14 since I got it. I’ve been distro hopping like crazy with varying degrees of success. My path of insanity. #lmde6 -> #debiansid -> #arch -> #nixos -> #arch. I loved #nixos but ran into issues gaming. #arch WiFi works but drops requiring reboot and sound requires a script at startup but no system sounds. Installed #opensuse_tumbleweed tonight and sound and WiFi seems to work. Going to test games tomorrow. Maybe I found a winner?

A great day for all those using #mechanicalkeyboards on systems running #Debian:

The #QMK #CLI tool is now available in #DebianUnstable! tracker.debian.org/pkg/qmk 🎉 So cool!

(It's though still uninstallable due to a missing dependency, still waiting in the so called NEW queue: ftp-master.debian.org/new/pyth — But I assume this will follow soon, too.)

#TIL about #lsix (github.com/hackerb9/lsix) and calling #xterm with the option "-ti vt340" to be able to display inline images inside an xterm—thanks to lsix having just arrived in #DebianUnstable: packages.debian.org/sid/lsix

These inline images (or the backend used to display them) seem to be called #sixel graphics. And they're said to work transparently through SSH. Maybe better than #chafa or #catimg.
