Debian 13 trixie upgrade

Debian 13

Caution Upgrading from Debian 12 to Debian 13 on machines with mdadm has intermittently failed for me; symptom is that grub EFI is not up to date and system boots into BIOS. Root cause under investigation; it might not be related to mdadm.

To start, read the official release notes.

If your install fits into "vanilla Debian plus maybe a handful of 3rd-party repos", then this guide for a simple upgrade to Debian 13 "trixie" from Debian 12 "bookworm" can be helpful. 3rd-party repos are handled with a find command.

Note upgrade is only supported from Debian 12 to Debian 13. If you are on Debian 11, upgrade to Debian 12 first. Then once on Debian 12, you can upgrade to Debian 13.

Thunderbolt Networking Setup

Thunderbolt Networking

this gist is part of this series

you wil need proxmox kernel 6.2.16-14-pve or higher.

Load Kernel Modules

  • add thunderbolt and thunderbolt-net kernel modules (this must be done all nodes - yes i know it can sometimes work withoutm but the thuderbolt-net one has interesting behaviou' so do as i say - add both ;-)
    1. nano /etc/modules add modules at bottom of file, one on each line
  1. save using x then y then enter

Mount VMDK on Linux

Read VMDK on Linux

VMDK is a virtual disk file from VMWare, reading without any "special" software is rather useful specially because I didn't want to install VMWare software

It's possible that this works with vhd and vhdx but I didn't test it... If someone does test it let me know

The steps are rather easy

Risk Assessment of GitHub Copilot

Risk Assessment of GitHub Copilot

0xabad1dea, July 2021

this is a rough draft and may be updated with more examples

GitHub was kind enough to grant me swift access to the Copilot test phase despite me @'ing them several hundred times about ICE. I would like to examine it not in terms of productivity, but security. How risky is it to allow an AI to write some or all of your code?

Ultimately, a human being must take responsibility for every line of code that is committed. AI should not be used for "responsibility washing." However, Copilot is a tool, and workers need their tools to be reliable. A carpenter doesn't have to
