Some repeaters have exactly that feature.

Although, I don't recommend that, the bandwidth won't reach 1GBit/s
that Cat5e can easily do and maybe the signal will be that bad that it
doesn't work at all.

In the case it should communicate with other MTAs in the internet, this
will be true because many of them require a resolvable (also reverse)
FQDN in HELO/EHLO that matches the IPv4/IPv6 addresses of the server.

If you operate mail servers, you must have a FQDN. .lan can't be used

No. The UUID is part of the file system and will just be copied.
Mounting based on the UUID will be ambiguous in that case, so you
should generate a new UUID for each file system that supports that.
Be aware that in a GPT the disk itself has a GUID and each partition a
PART-UUID that you maybe also want to change.

Try it.
I've already experienced issues with the nouveau driver with multi
cards. It was a 6200TC and the internal Intel HD graphics.
Sometimes graphics card break (memory or GPU issue), but aren't
completely broken. This was especially the case for the older ones.
Many laptops with 7xxx, 8xxx and 9xxx had graphics issues.

The libs will have a suffix of t64, so you need to use dist-upgrade to
upgrade the packages if they depend on the t64 libs.

Although, carefully read what it wants to remove. If it wants to remove
packages you need, don't hit y.

Those attempts happen if a server software (like SSH, Telnet, rlogin)

The IPv4 address range can be iterated easily (only 4 billion

As long as it isn't connected to a network or running any services

I recommend choosing a good password anyway because if you intent to

passwords for ALL users.

Debian can be installed without GRUB (especially useful on BIOS systems

That is really strange. If I did install Debian 12, it offered me a
list of different file systems, including ext2/3/4.

Does the installer format it as ext4, but shows ext2 and places that in
fstab?
Or do you format it manually?

LUKS is only a container and doesn't care about the file system inside.
After opening it, it is a file under /dev/mapper that can be formatted
like /dev/sdXY.

The amount of work needed to change it is of course a really strong

The technical gain of that is exactly zero, it doesn't solve any bug,

In Germany, some organizations do that as well - and most people are

The most important thing is that the upstream projects would need to
change that - including all the translators.

This is always a PITA - for no realistic benefit.

Debian is mostly a collection of many packages that are packed in the
repo.
Such changes are normally done upstream.

I don't know why somebody should waste time for changing terms there.
There is almost no technical benefit and the amount of people who
operate Ethernet bonds is small, so the probability that somebody feels
disturbed by those terms here is also small. Most people don't care
about master/slave either, they simply use that and don't let the wokes
spoil the party.

If you like to change that, feel free to create a fork of the upstream
projects and use the terms you prefer.

I don't think that spending time on that is a valuable thing, there are
more important tasks like testing or adding functionality.

The only package I am aware of that changed some terms is sendmail.

They decided to use blocklist_recipients instead of
backlist_recipients, but blacklist still works.

Which marker?
crypttab is only for decrypting the partition and creating a device

If you format it in ext2, choose that.
Or was that an automatic decision by the installer?

That was because they have a significant decrease in writing

Some RAID controllers treated that as a drive failure.
SSDs normally have a constant write speed, so I don't think this

Check the routing table on apt-proxy.
ICMP redirect happens if you have 2 routers on the same ethernet link
and the router you try to contact know a better route to the

According to documentation I found in the internet, it is possible to
upgrade a Debian system to the amd64 architecture.
Maybe do that, but do a full backup before.

i386 is dead for Debian, the next release won't be available for i386.

As long as you have a i386 kernel, you can't use amd64 software on it.

The process of the automatic generation is called SLAAC, regardless of
the identifier being used.
In the past the default was to use EUI-64 and have the MAC address in
the address. If that is suitable for you (privacy!), use that.

Use the NetworkManager to configure that.
Automatic means using SLAAC (if available in the RA) and DHCPv6 (if
available in the RA).

You need EUI-64 for that. Disable the Privacy extensions completely if
you don't like an ADDITIONAL address with a randomly generated
interface identifier that changes time to time.

Then this file tells the boot loader about the /boot or / partition.
Is that the Xen virtualization software?

That information is on the EFI partition, where the GRUB bootloader
binary also resides.

root@ryz:/boot/efi/EFI# cat /boot/efi/EFI/debian/grub.cfg
search.fs_uuid 5b8b669d-xyz root hd0,gpt2 #boot partition
set prefix=($root)'/grub'
configfile $prefix/grub.cfg
root@ryz:/boot/efi/EFI#

If that information is loaded, the kernel can be loaded from the boot
partition.

Do you want to install the OS on it?
For the partition table, I recommend GPT.

Do you want an encrypted system?

That is being done be the installer. If you don't need special
configuration, use the install process. It does everything for you.

Use gdisk for that.
You can create an EFI partition there.
Choose Type EFI (EF00), 100MB.
Format it with FAT32.

Do that before the install with gdisk.

That is done automatically if it is mounted at /boot/efi.

Do you need a special configuration here or is the default just fine?

That must be mounted to /boot/efi.

If you create a separate boot partition (do you really need it?), it
must be mounted at /boot.

It chooses by the path.
grub-install is the command, no device as parameter.

If your system is i386 only, amd64 software can't run on it.

If not, the writing process will just stop at the end of the device and
the stick data will be corrupted because they are incomplete.

If the fields are technically a form, evince can fill them out.

The wiki only mentions multi-arch images.

There was another thread (maybe on debian-users-german?) discussing
that and Debian 12 doesn't ship multiarch installers, so it will be a
bit harder to make it work with 32 bit UEFI.

Does IPv6 work basically on your machine, including name resolution?

Does it work if you enter the address directly?
