Red Hat Co.Lab for the day of Science for Development "Conversation Machine"

Red Hat has a program named Co.Lab which provides kits under request that employees can use to guide a STEM session on schools to perform different range of activities. We performed 2 sessions this year, one for the “We Are Red Hat Week” (WARHW), which happens every year around Halloween, when the first official release was launched back in 31st October 1994 (‘Halloween Release’).

Upgrade Debian from buster to bullseye

I had two Raspberry Pi systems running Raspbian and they were failing to find updates for newer packages. As Debian stable was upgraded too, moving from buster to bullseye the packages failed to get the newer ones.
