Hi,
I have a machine which I have updated since Wheezy in 2013 and has thus
accumulated a bit of cruft. It is currently running Bookworm but seems
to have become stuck at 12.7.
I have a second machine on which I installed a fresh Bookworm a few
weeks ago. This has point release 12.9.

Hi,
I am using Emacs' Gnus to display a buffer containing an email.
I want to convert this email to a PDF file.
If I save the mail to a file I get:
$ file einladung.txt
einladung.txt: news or mail, Unicode text, UTF-8 text
I have tried the following approaches to converting to PDF:

Can you provide a link to the standard you are referring to?
Assuming such a standard exists, how would it apply to this newsgroup?

Hi,
Is anyone aware of Debian being used on largish, say 100s of nodes and
1000s of cores, clusters for High-Performance Computing (HPC)?
I ask because CentOS, which has been used widely in HPC, has been
essentially killed off by IBM. Alternative Red-Hat-like OSs, such as

What's the objection to 'folder'? I don't use it myself, but it seems
fairly reasonable to me. Many desktop environments use an old hanging
folder icon in their file browsers.

Hi,
I have a 10 year-old Dell E6230 laptop which I have updated regularly,
starting from Squeeze and have now updated to Bookworm. Everything
seems to work except for the fact that a module fails to build for the
new kernel:
