Ever thought about APT compatible add-on package repositories for Debian? Like PPAs but having proper compatibility with #Debian, QA tests and automatic built-in snapshot capabilities?

Glad to announce #Debusine repositories are now in public beta for Debian developers and maintainers.

Head to https://www.freexian.com/blog/debusine-repositories-beta/?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social to learn more about it and how you can use it.

This is the culmination of one year of work in the #Debusine team and certainly a game changer in the #Debian community. Now we will build on this to make it possible to prepare large transitions in Debusine repositories, with all packages to be uploaded together when the entire set is ready and validated.

Ko-Fi really wants me to make an account on the hell site, but I’m drawing a line in the sand.

As a disabled and omnisexual creator, I refuse to spend my energy in a place that feels increasingly hostile to my communities just for the sake of self promotion. I believe we can build successful brands right here on the #Fediverse without compromising our ethics or our safety. 🏳️‍🌈 ♿️

I am here to focus on what I love: GNU/Linux, open source, and high-quality ethical technologies. Speaking of things I love... I’ve officially set up a Ko-Fi goal to support my caffeine addiction! ☕️

I’m a bit of a coffee snob, even brewing at home is getting pricey with tariffs and inflation. If you appreciate a queer, disabled perspective on the #Linux world, I’d love your help reaching my $50 goal!
