    DietPi 9.17 Released with Faster Backups and Roon Server Early Access
    [11:00] schestowitz[TR2]
    [11:00] schestowitz[TR2]

    One of the biggest changes is in DietPi-Backup. Backups now make use of rsync --link-dest, which stores unchanged files as hard links instead of duplicating them. In plain terms, that means faster backup creation, reduced disk usage, and fully self-contained backup iterations.

    Debians APT Adds Native History Parsing to Track Past Operations

    [11:00] schestowitz[TR2]

    Something very helpful is on its way to land in Debians APT package manager, set to gain a significant usability improvement. Namely, a new merge request proposes the addition of a built-in history command, giving users a straightforward way to review past package operations directly from the terminal.

    Is Oreon Linux a True Red Hat Enterprise Alternative?
    [11:04] schestowitz[TR2]
    [11:04] schestowitz[TR2]

    The good news is that there are other options, one of which is called Oreon Linux. This Linux distribution is aimed at enterprise organizations, but with a twist of simplicity. Oreon Linux ships with friendlier defaults, continuous updates and leans into the stability and security of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
