Ah, the joys of #open-source "bargain bin" #software development: where a mere $149.25 can buy you an RC2 release 🍕💸! Who knew technical debt could be so effectively managed with a single developer and a wishful nod to the 2026 Magic Quadrant 🧙‍♂️📈?

The second release candidate build of the 15.0-RELEASE release cycle is now available. …

"… The only changes between 15.0-RC1 and 15.0-RC2 relate to the process used to create "cloud" images, aka. for Amazon EC2, Azure, Google Cloud, and Oracle. Users of non-cloud installations will not see any difference between 15.0-RC1 and 15.0-RC2 aside from the version number. …"

What black magic must one use to create a PFX file that has RC2 encoding in it?

OpenSSL can work with it via the “-legacy” switch but no one seems to know how a brand new cert came packaged this way…

Debian 13 RC2 fixes APT CD-ROM issues for USB installs

The second release candidate for the Debian 13 “Trixie” installer is now live, and it contains a lot of interesting changes surrounding different areas of the installer. This makes sure that your Debian install becomes smoother than before.

One of the most notable changes in this release candidate of the installer is that it addresses a bug where the Debian installer would not remove the APT CD-ROM source from the final installation if Debian was installed to your computer using a USB flash drive, which is becoming common these days. Modern laptops don’t usually come with the built-in CD-ROM reader.

Because of this, Debian users who have successfully installed this distro will be met with APT telling them to insert the Debian installation disk upon trying to install any package. They’ll be met with this message:

Media change: please insert the disc labeled 'Debian GNU/Linux 12.10.0 "Bookworm" - Official amd64 DVD with firmware 20250315-10:09'in the drive '/media/cdrom/' and press [Enter]

This adds an extra step where you’ll have to comment the CD-ROM source manually by editing the /etc/apt/sources.list file. You’ll have to look for entries like this:

deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 12.10.0 "Bookworm" - Official amd64 DVD with firmware 20250315-10:09] bookworm contrib main non-free-firmware

The change has been done in this commit in Debian’s GitLab instance, where bugs #1102140 and #1103650 have been fixed.

You can see other changes made to this release candidate of the Debian installer.

I love the shape and color of this health cube, its very visually appealing ​:FRIEND:​ #ratchetandclank #rc2 #emulation #ps2 #rpcs3

@mdales Good point. We definitely made lots of mistakes (or overlooked risks...). @WebDevLaw looked at that side recently https://webdevlaw.uk/2021/01/30/why-generation-x-will-save-the-web/ How about #RC3 rather than #RC2? Rough Consensus; Running Code; Reasonable Consequences? "Reasonable" isn't the best word there, but I haven't found the right R yet :-) Recognising? take Responsibility for Consequences?

Reading https://theadhocracy.co.uk/wrote/one-year-in-the-indieweb (found via @KevinMarks) and thinking about how the talk of #IndieWeb being more of a social movement echoes my pondering on the #makermovement http://www.mcqn.net/mcfilter/archives/thinking/is_the_maker_movement_a_movement.html. How they're both a bit messy, but tending towards action. Maybe the movement I really want is #RC2 - a random coining of "Rough Consensus; Running Code" (from the David Clark quote https://www2.cs.duke.edu/courses/common/compsci092/papers/govern/consensus.pdf). There's room for difference & imperfection, but we try to work together and deeds > words

Heads up for #rc3 viewers! @cccupdatesbot screwed the pooch and #rc1 & #rc2 are SWITCHED! For example Track 1s content is now on Track 2 and vice versa.

Sneaky Germans! You know the #DEFFON201 Co-Founder @Sidepocket is half-Polish and is not amused.
