Since #debian 11 is nearing EOL I was looking into what it would take to update my router. I was pleased to see that #unifi has sorted out whatever licensing issues they had with #mongodb and now support versions greater than 3.6. Sadly, the newest version of mongodb supported in debian 12 is 5.0 which also happens to require #avx extensions which my older Celeron CPU doesn't have. So, it looks like I'll have to invest in new hardware. I guess on the bright side I can keep the old box around as-is as an emergency spare and start the new one from a fresh install instead of crossing my fingers and doing an in-place upgrade.
Happy Birthday 🎂🎉🎊 to the best GNU/Linux 🐧 distribution of all times #Debian 🍥

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.
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.
