I finally rebuilt my #VDR TV setup on #Debian, this time using two dual HD tuners:

VDR Setup, 2025 Edition

I have been using VDR – the Video Disk Recorder – on my own Linux host for over 20 years. It has been the primary way of consuming broadcast TV content in our household since 2004. Unti…

The snapshot archive seems to work today, I was able to downgrade the affected packages successfully.

The bug reports were also resolved, waiting for the fixed package to be available.

Unfortunately a recent vdr package upgrade in @debian testing broke my DVB setup: vdr-plugin-dvbsddevice still provides an old plugin that is not compatible with VDR 2.6.9. Any hints where to get the old vdr package? snapshot.debian.org links give just 503 errors.

Ever wondered how the network knows where a VM is after live migration? Here is how:

MAC Address Move in VM Live Migration

The switches in Ethernet networks learn all connected hosts’ link-layer addresses (layer 2 or MAC (Media Access Control) addresses) dynamically when the hosts communicate in the network and t…

For whoever needs to hear this: I upgraded my VDR box from Debian 11 to Debian 12. Which caused the DVB cards (and thus the whole TV) unusable, because apparently kernel 6.1 does not include the necessary DVB card drivers anymore.

BUT, Debian Trixie (the current testing, upcoming stable) has kernel 6.10, and that has the drivers again --> successfully got VDR working with that!

Debian -- News -- Updated Debian 12: 12.7 released

I’m back from my break and shared my piercing insight into the CS drama in this week’s episode, which is up now

I already knew that the CCS EV car charging standard basically does IPv6 over powerline ethernet and uses something like SOAP calls for the charging negotiation.

What I did not know is that the spec also allows the charger offer the car internet access via the charging connector! I’m sure all cars have a robust firewall in place…

Firefox is really important. I want it to continue to be a viable independent browser, and a viable base for alternative browsers.

I still think it is the best option, but it continues to get harder and harder to make that case. And I really want Mozilla to deeply reflect on why I, and many others, feel that is the case.
