Wasn‘t there a crunchbang project putting this nicely together with debian? I remember it fondly, but that is centuries ago…

Well, then you were lucky. I‘ve been hiking off the beaten paths and more than once forced me an agitated bull to detour as he would not let me near his herd.

It really depends on what breed and how they were raised. In the Alps, there are almost anually reports of wanderers being attacked or even killed by cows. They often are with their calves for a longer time, are less accustomed to (strange) people and usually a fully intact male is in the heard that can get really protective.

Approach them with caution, watch their behaviour closely and use common sense. That’s what I do and for me that works.

The gardener in my last apartment replaced all of his powertools (mower, blower, trimmer, …) with electric ones powered by an accu-pack he carries on his back. This is an absolute game-changer! I could actually sit outside again and even do stuff for work, when he was there.

Key point: „To be secure, you should always use the latest long-term stable kernel. The key word here is “latest.” It’s not enough to use an LTS […] [or at least] Continuously update to the latest kernel release, either major or stable.“
