Re: [Discussion] How do you name your devices?
For desktops and notebooks, I use "translated" brand names. With two HP's, one is Happy and the other is Hope. A self-built desktop with an MSI motherboard is Missy, and a second one with a SilverStone case is called... Zilversteen (which is Silverstone in Dutch). My servers are characters...

I suggest you start with
This will remove the XFCE4 notify daemon and all its dependencies. Control should then revert back to the notification system built into your Plasma desktop.

Re: What about Audacity 3 in Debian 12? And about Tenacity?
Audacity:
v 3.4.2 in Sid and Testing
v 3.2.4 in Stable.
Tenacity:
not in de Debian repositories. Since the Tenacity team has decided to offer AppImages, chances are nobody is working on a deb for Debian.

Re: XFCE: Display Settings Popping up all the time
In the screen configuration applet, choose 'Advanced' and switch off the bottom option if it's on. Also, select "do nothing" for what to do if it detects a new screen.

Re: [Software] Replace Pipewire with Pulseaudio | Bookworm/Gnome
Apple Airpods need specific codecs to work. Apple isn't big on supporting established standards and protocols, because they want you to use Apple hardware exclusively. With Gnome in Debian 12, it isn't possible to uninstall pipewire and use pulseaudio instead. I think it can be done when you don't u...

Re: [Software] How do I choose fastest closest mirror
Select 'Settings', then 'Packet Sources'. In the window, you see an option to "Download from main server". Click on that. Now choose 'Other...' and you get a screen in which you can click a button to "select the best server".

Re: Blocking Youtube ads
I"m always suspicious when an open source browser is made "much safer" and the result is closed source.
One should be aware that chromium + spyware = Chrome, and chromium + spyware = Microsoft Edge.

Re: About APT and packages
I'm not a fan of flatpaks and snap packages. Yes, you can get new and updated software sooner and easier that way, but there's more insecurity. Flat and snap packs are not protected like the Debian repositories are. Almost anyone can create and upload software there, and that's an invitation for mal...

Re: rsync- how to add only new files?
For an incremental backup, use
If you don't want a lot of text, leave the 'v' out. If you don't want to copy new files and only update changes to existing files, loose the 'a'.
The -vau stands for: verbose, add, update.
Code: Select all
rsync -vau source/ destination/
