I don't think book are a good way to teach stuff that changes. A wiki
(maybe with paid access, like RedHat does) is much more better than a
book that can't be updated and will be mostly useless with the next

Many things changed and especially for beginners those books are

Claws mail directly supports IMAP, POP3, SMTP and NNTP without an MTA

You also don't need sendmail nor the sendmail command to send mail via

Proxy-ARP offers the possibility to answer ARP requests of addresses
outside the own subnet sitting on another ethernet link.
In normal cases that is not needed. It is needed when systems exist
that don't have the same subnet mask - for whatever reason.

It is a niche situation mostly for very old operating systems, so
disable it by default on the router.

You can't fix that until you make your mail provider change those

The operator of the sending MTA for the Debian lists can limit the

Good admins don't use DROP in firewalls, so either you get a TCP RST

prohibited, so your server knows that no identd runs there and can

Bounces go to the address in the Return-Path header

Return-Path: 

As you can see the address is unique to the subscriber.

You can look how normal bounce look like and send such a message to the
address in Return-Path.

One possibility to mitigate that is to check SPF of the domain of the

server sending the bounce is listed in the SPF of dorfdsl.de - and if

Only one can be opened for that.
But multiple connections might exist for multiple mails, maybe also for
different users.

Your ISP blocks those with a hard error and that is the fault.

There is no hard limit in the SMTP RFC.
Your mailbox provider is the fault here.

There are other servers too that handle some mailing lists (e.g. for
bug reports), but bendel handles the "normal" Debian mailing lists that
end with @lists.debian.org.


> And could that be the reason to multiple sessions were opened from 
> debian list servers?

No, the reason is that SMTP doesn't specify that only a special
amount of connections can be established, but your provider enforces
that and give back a hard fail (5xx error).
If your mailbox provider handled that properly, it gave a 4xx error, so
bendel tries it again after a certain amount of time.

Ask your mailbox provider for the logs to find out, we can't tell you.

If there is a rate-limit, only those connections are denied that excess

Yes, UEFI can (and must be able) to boot from a device without a boot

The process of the automatic generation is called SLAAC, regardless of
the identifier being used.
In the past the default was to use EUI-64 and have the MAC address in
the address. If that is suitable for you (privacy!), use that.

Use the NetworkManager to configure that.
Automatic means using SLAAC (if available in the RA) and DHCPv6 (if
available in the RA).

You need EUI-64 for that. Disable the Privacy extensions completely if

interface identifier that changes time to time.

According to documentation I found in the internet, it is possible to
upgrade a Debian system to the amd64 architecture.
Maybe do that, but do a full backup before.

i386 is dead for Debian, the next release won't be available for i386.

As long as you have a i386 kernel, you can't use amd64 software on it.

Check the routing table on apt-proxy.
ICMP redirect happens if you have 2 routers on the same ethernet link
and the router you try to contact know a better route to the

Although, both routes need to point to the same direction.

That was because they have a significant decrease in writing

Some RAID controllers treated that as a drive failure.

Debian is mostly a collection of many packages that are packed in the
repo.
Such changes are normally done upstream.

I don't know why somebody should waste time for changing terms there.
There is almost no technical benefit and the amount of people who
operate Ethernet bonds is small, so the probability that somebody feels
disturbed by those terms here is also small. Most people don't care
about master/slave either, they simply use that and don't let the wokes
spoil the party.

If you like to change that, feel free to create a fork of the upstream
projects and use the terms you prefer.

I don't think that spending time on that is a valuable thing, there are
more important tasks like testing or adding functionality.

The only package I am aware of that changed some terms is sendmail.

They decided to use blocklist_recipients instead of
backlist_recipients, but blacklist still works.

In Germany, some organizations do that as well - and most people are

The most important thing is that the upstream projects would need to
change that - including all the translators.

The amount of work needed to change it is of course a really strong
argument because there need to be people who are willing to change it
and spend their time on it.
The technical gain of that is exactly zero, it doesn't solve any bug,
it doesn't add a feature, it doesn't make it easier to use, it simply
makes some tiny amount of users feel better.

Does the installer format it as ext4, but shows ext2 and places that in
fstab?
Or do you format it manually?

LUKS is only a container and doesn't care about the file system inside.
After opening it, it is a file under /dev/mapper that can be formatted
like /dev/sdXY.

5. The terminology is completely different, because machines are
involved and not people.
Many languages have words that are used in many ways for completely
different things.

Just check what different meanings GIMP has.
Maybe some more people now feel uncomfortable with using it.

Do you know the file that provides that?
If so, you apt-file search "file" to find the package that provides it.

I chose manual partitioning and I created the LUKS container manually
and then created an ext4 partition inside.

That is definitely a bug.

I can't understand why people draw that association.
Black as a color is different from the skin and different from illegal
activities on black markets.

Please run 
resolvectl

that shows the resolvers available.

Check each of them with
dig example.org @

If that doesn't work for one of them, this must be fixed and is not a
problem of IPv6 nor of systemd-resolve.

Check the apache config.
What is the Webroot?

Is the file you are looking for available in the webroot?

That seems to be an autoneg problem.

Please tell us more about your cabling (direct, via sockets etc.) and
the device (switch, router) the laptop is connected to.
