How To Install osTicket on Debian 11
In this tutorial, we will show you how to install osTicket on Debian 11. For those of you who didn’t know, osTicket offers free, open-source ticket management and customer care solutions for businesses of all sizes, especially small and medium-sized businesses. With osTicket, you can manage, organize, and archive your support requests. It integrates customer support requests received by email, web forms, and phone calls into a simple, easy-to-use, multi-user web-based platform.
This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you through the step-by-step installation of osTicket on a Debian 11 (Bullseye).

Ayoyimika Ajibade: Nodejs 16 and Webpack 5 transition in Debian
Transitioning is a concept in Debian about maintaining only one version of a library like webpack, nodejs. There is a bottleneck as other libraries and applications may not support the version we have in Debian. So we have to port that software which For example, node-mini-css-extract-plugin, node-mermaid and so many packages uses webpack. In buster we had webpack4 and in bullseye, we want to update it to webpack5. node-mini-css-extract-plugin already supports webpack5, but others like node-mermaid don't support it yet. So either we wait or we help those projects to update their webpack version. Check out this chat between my mentor and a community member on transitioning of rails6

Caleb Adepitan: Everybody Struggles
I often get intimidated by the brilliance of others by just looking at them from a distance seeing how radiantly they gleam in their knowledge. I often feel like I'm not doing enough or I'm just meant to be a mediocre and there's nothing I can do to be more than that. I often feel like everyone except me is a genius, and are impeccable unlike me.
But maybe I'm just at a point these people had previously been at, and have now gone past. Maybe it's my time to steer the wheel they once steered, or maybe they aren't even what they seem to me to be and it's all just a misrepresentation cooked up by an imperfect mind. Hmm...it has to be that. A “perfect” portrait painted by an imperfect mind which when found out renders every stroke in the portrait imperfect. It has to be that or all.

Everyone Struggles
As a software developer struggling to grasp both basic and advanced knowledge of a concept can seem daunting, much like learning anything new, you can be overwhelmed when you are surrounded and know there is a whole lot of other new concept, tools, process, languages you have to learn that are linked to what you are currently learning, as you are struggling to grasp the fundamental idea of what you are currently learning. imbued in any struggle to get a solution to the problem is where innovation and inventions lie in, and our learning becomes improved as we dive into fact-finding, getting your hypothesis after a series of tests and ultimately proffering a solution
Some of my struggles as I intern with Debian has been lack of skill of the shell scripting language as that is one of the core languages to understand so as to navigate your way around maintaining packages for Debian, also funny enough having just an intermediate knowledge of the javascript programming language as arguably having a basic knowledge of javascript is necessary to building and testing javascript packages in Debian as I know only the basic of javascript since my core language is Python, that I struggle with. The good thing is that the more I keep at it the faster the chance of the struggles reducing
