set-up Debian & Info

As I did for OpenBSD this is my pense-bête for setting up Debian and getting all the basics.

battery info

upower -i upower -e | grep 'BAT'

to start nm and get wifi then internet

sudo systemctl enable NetworkManager.service

dns resolver

As usual tons of ways of doing it, this the way i found to be sure

resolvectl domain wlp3s0 dns.sb resolvectl dns wlp3s0 185.222.222.222

→ where wlp3s0 is ur interface (resolvectl alone to find it)

plus edit /etc/systemd/resolved.conf

source: https://wiki.debian.org/NetworkConfiguration

Other possible dns I found ok w a 5min research: - https://blog.uncensoreddns.org/ cool but far (copenhague) - https://dns.artikel10.org/ no css website is good but couldn’t find info abt those ppl - https://dns.sb/guide/ site made me confortable I choosed them - https://www.dns0.eu/ two french guy made it (they come from Dailymotion n Netflix so too startupy for me)

Anyway with the limits of the big network that is internet & the web, choosing and changing dns feels very important for your internet safety and confidentiality more than a vpn. Spread the info become more documented than me and encourage your friends to also change their dns.

remap keys

We’re using X so as from my precedent OS, we can use xmodmap, and the .xmodmaprc What’s in my file : remove Lock = CapsLock keysym CapsLock = Escape then:

$ xmodmap ~/.xmodmaprc

And append it to your shell rc (.zshrc; dashrc; kshrc; bashrc; …)
