I’m sure they had good reasons to make the switch, but I don’t really understand the argument about kernel and ruby versions. An upgrade to the newest LTS release would have gotten them ruby 3.2 and probably a newer kernel as well.
To resolve these, OpenStreetMap needed to switch to newer mainline kernels, naturally leading them toward Debian.
Because Debian is known for its up to date software, right? Gave me a good chuckle.
That article is so bad. While still debatable, what he actually said wasn’t anything like it’s been represented.
On Debian 12 we could simply install the backport kernel and the performance issues were solved.

stableis not the only debian release. Additionally, while ubuntu may be great for beginners or corporate offices, it really does suck compared to other distros. They’ve added so much garbage and guardrails the performance is dog shit (in comparison to other distros like debian).Moving distros to get a new version of ruby is some amateur shit.
The distro ruby is for distro ruby app packages. It is not really meant for people to build their software against.

Seeing the headline first my thought was “what an odd thing to not have work” but that makes more sense. Doesn’t seem like that’d take much of a jump, fortunately.
It’s a massive upgrade.
Why am I blocked on this website… Weird!

Same. Very likely geoblocked
I would think twice before using a service that implements any geoblocking.
