Upgrading Debian 7 to Debian 10 Adventure

Upgrading to Debian 8 from 7  Jessie from wheezy 1. Perform full system backup  2. Upgrade existing os version.  apt-get update && apt-get -V upgrade 3. Get current status  lsb_release -a  uname -a  4. Change repositories  Replace wheezy with jessie manually or as below: sed -i 's/wheezy/jessie/g' /etc/apt/sources.list  Also update any files if present in /etc/apt/sources.apt.d  5. Perform full system update  apt-get update && apt-get -V upgrade  If required reboot  Update 1: Debian 7 Wheezy to Debian 8 Jessie update done. And Debian 8 Jessie to Debian 9 Stretch upgrade also complete. The upgrades were taking too long. And looking at the terminal messages I realized, I could have saved a lot of the time if I would have cleaned up the system earlier. There's a lot of stuff like mono, OpenJDK, perl, python,  ruby which I'm never going to use. Anyway to Buster now. Update 2: I spent a lot of time cleaning up the system and then made the changes to start Bus

Scooter ownership TCO

Recently I decided to do a bit of TCO calculation on this Hero Duet scooter that we have been using. It's not the greatest experience I have had, but then this is the first family vehicle that I have owned. And I expected it to be a little pricey because of the number of repairs we have had to do. But for last year or so the scooter has been running great with only helping of regular servicing. So check out the TCO! Cheers!!
