Made the move to Debian stable on my daily laptop over the weekend. Most of my home lab stuff is running Debian so I am not too green, but I never really tested a lot of stuff with it.

I brought by personal device into work today and didn’t think about a VPN when setting it up. I have a few months left on Mullvad I am planning to use. Added their repo and installed the program.

Should I try to stray away from the practice when running Debian as a daily device? I never really deviated from the Debian repos on my home lab stuff, and I know the mantra of “Don’t break Debian”. Just wondering what you can do and shouldn’t do. I am planning on setting up a VPN on my home network sometime soon, and just sending the traffic through that via OpenVPN.

      Right on. Yeah, Timeshift isn’t a backup solution, you still need 3-2-1 for your data, but it’s great for as a system-wide Ctrl+Z for mistakes or broken updates.
