Debian 13

Caution Upgrading from Debian 12 to Debian 13 on machines with mdadm has intermittently failed for me; symptom is that grub EFI is not up to date and system boots into BIOS. Root cause under investigation; it might not be related to mdadm.

To start, read the official release notes.

If your install fits into "vanilla Debian plus maybe a handful of 3rd-party repos", then this guide for a simple upgrade to Debian 13 "trixie" from Debian 12 "bookworm" can be helpful. 3rd-party repos are handled with a find command.

Note upgrade is only supported from Debian 12 to Debian 13. If you are on Debian 11, upgrade to Debian 12 first. Then once on Debian 12, you can upgrade to Debian 13.

Introduction

Sometimes you may want to use a DNS server for specific domain requests and another DNS server for all other requests. This is helpful, for instance, when connected to a VPN. For hosts behind that VPN you want to use the VPN's DNS server but all other hosts you want to use Google's public DNS. This is called "DNS splitting."

Here, we run dnsmasq as a background service on macOS. The dnsmasq configuration described below implements DNS splitting.

Install

brew install dnsmasq

	To communicate with your AC over LAN network without connection to internet you need:
	https://github.com/kueblc/midea-msmart/tree/support-8370

	In example.py fill:
	device = ac('YOUR_AC_IP', YOUR_AC_ID)
	device.authenticate('YOUR_AC_MAC', 'YOUR_SSID', 'YOUR_WIFI_PW')

	Then you must run this code on something computer:

	#!/usr/bin/python3

	#!/bin/sh
	while true; do

	# Clean up previously running apps, gracefully at first then harshly
	killall -TERM chromium 2>/dev/null;
	killall -TERM matchbox-window-manager 2>/dev/null;
	echo "Chrome and Matchbox terminated";
	sleep 2;

	killall -9 chromium 2>/dev/null;
