Episode notes
Debian Drops 32-bit, Adds RISC-V
- Debian 13 "trixie" removes i386 kernels and installer, ending mainstream 32-bit x86 support.
- It makes RISC-V official and adopts PipeWire and apt 3.0 by default.
Handing Over AWS Account Caused Deletion
- Suros lost access when he handed account custody to another person who joined an organization.
- The new billing arrangement led to nonpayment, account suspension, and deletion before support restored it.
Keep Backups Outside Primary AWS Billing
- Keep backups in a separate AWS account or outside AWS on a different payment method.
- Avoid storing backups under the same billing organization that a single payer can disable.
