My main laptop is running Kubuntu 20.04, but rather than upgrade to 22.04, I think I want to wipe it and install the latest Devuan instead. I want to default to #Devuan, with an occasional #Debian (or #Ubuntu family, or #Linux_Mint) then use other distros on an as needed basis.

I have one computer at home that runs #NixOS and one that runs #OpenSuse. I'm likely to keep the SuSE machine running that software, but NixOS is too different and too bleeding edge for someone who regularly leaves home for a year.

If you're on #Windows, the current version of #Zeal is in Chocolatey.

Zeal is in the official repos for #Debian and #Ubuntu derived distros and also for #Fedora, #Gentoo, #openSuSE.

Installing #DietPi on a Raspberry Pi Zero W.

I dislike some of their defaults already:
1. Expects an Ethernet connection. To autostart Wi-Fi, you have to edit a couple of files (one to enable #Wi-Fi and disable #Ethernet, one to enter your Wi-Fi logon information). It should accept either connection by default and use a "wifi-config" program to set up the connection.
2. Defaults to hostname 'dietpi' instead of having you name your device as part of setup.
3. Apparently, 'root' and 'dietpi' users exist with same password ('dietpi') ... the change password step of the setup appears to give both accounts the same password.
4. This is common among nearly every GNU+Linux distro these days: I want my systems to use UTC timezone ... but where most distros use a 'locale' setting to set a local timezone, DietPi assumes I'm in London. It chose BST as the timezone.

The good.
1. There doesn't seem to be a lot of unnecessary junk installed. I'm using a 16GB microSD card, so I don't want anything that isn't needed for the chosen task.
2. Uses #Raspian / Raspberry Pi OS and #Debian repos along with its own, so most of what I might want to install is available.
3. DietPi-Survey is disabled by default.

♲ @praveen@social.masto.host: Any #nodejs developers interested in taking up this challenge?

Build #yarn 1.x with #babel 7.x

Yarn 2.x already moved to babel 7.x but there is no stable release for yarn 2.x and it is completely different from yarn 1.x.

This will help us ship yarn in #debian (we already moved everything else to babel 7.x but could not port this yet) for next stable release bullseye.

It would be useful to nodejs developers to make initial installation of yarn easy.

TIL that apt-installed Python packages are located in a different part of the file system than the pip-installed packages. This explained why the pip-installed certbot-plugin-gandi didn't work with apt-installed certbot.

Prepping a flash drive and a DVD of #CentOS 8.2 to send to #sonTwo. I should probably also send #Debian or #Devuan or #Ubuntu, but if he gets the first server running, that's fine for now.
