Submission + - Upgrading a 29y old debian install from spinning rust to rPi5 and N355 mini PC

But this second attempt with a 4 M2 NVME CWWK N355 mini server, worked. Amazing how small those servers are now and what they can do with barely more power use: https://marc.merlins.org/perso...

Also, hat to debian for having allowed me to run the same Linux install for 29 years without any re-install
