How to verify Debian CD or DVD image using GPG
When you download Debian Linux CD or DVD images, you must verify the authenticity of Debian Linux CD or DVD images using the gpg and sha512sum command. There are three files you will find here for Debian 12 AMD64 Architecture (download those files using the wget command or use the curl command to download file):
$ wget https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/iso-dvd/debian-12.5.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso \
https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/iso-dvd/SHA512SUMS \
https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/iso-dvd/SHA512SUMS.sign
Now you have three files as follows:
debian-12.5.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso : DVD file for USB or DVD.
SHA512SUMS : Checksum file for debian-12.5.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso to ensure that debian-12.5.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso file is not corrupted or contains bad stuff like backdoor.
SHA512SUMS.sign : GPG signature file for SHA512SUMS file, which ensures that the checksums file themselves are correct.
You must put all these three files into the same directory for easy understanding and verification in a zippy. Use the ls command to list them:
{vivek@desktop:~}$ ls -l
Outputs:
-rw-rw-r-- 1 vivek vivek 3992977408 Feb 10 19:17 debian-12.5.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso
-rw-rw-r-- 1 vivek vivek 3372 Feb 10 22:11 SHA512SUMS
-rw-rw-r-- 1 vivek vivek 833 Feb 11 01:43 SHA512SUMS.sign

How to install BTRFS on a Debian Linux 12/11
Btrfs, which stands for "Butter FS" or "B-tree FS," is a modern Linux file system. It was developed to overcome the limitations of older file systems like ext4 or ext3. Btrfs is an excellent choice for efficient storage management on multiple Hard Disk Drivers. It supports Linux file systems with snapshots, subvolumes, and built-in RAID-like capabilities that provide robust data protection. It is designed to handle huge file systems and file sizes. Btrfs incorporates checksumming and COW (Copy-on-write), making it more resilient to data corruption. The COW feature means changes are written to new locations instead of overwriting existing data, enhancing data protection and enabling snapshots. After installation, let us see how to install Btrfs support for Debian Linux 11 or 12 using the CLI.
Why am I using BTRFS on an existing Debian Linux system?
In my case, the EC2 VM AMI is configured to use ext4 by default at AWS. However, I had to make changes since I needed to store files using EBS (Elastic Block Store) and Python code expected to see BTRFS. Hence, this quick tutorial.

How to install GPG (gnupg2) on a Debian Linux to fix gpg command not found error
GnuPG2 (or GPG2) is an open-source and free tool that implements the OpenPGP standard. Its primary purpose is to encrypt your sensitive information to protect it from unauthorized access. It also allows you to create digital signatures, guaranteeing that the data hasn't been tampered with while in transit. Many newly created Debian 11/12 cloud VMs and images may not have the gpg/gpg2 command installed. Thus, you will get an error that reads "-bash: gpg: command not found." Here is how to fix this error and install gnupg2 on a Debian Linux 11 or 12. Further, you will learn how to use the gpg command.

How to enable contrib repo on Debian Linux 10/11/12
Sometimes, when you try to install specific Debian Linux packages, you might encounter an error message that reads:
Unable to locate package pkg-name-here
In many cases, the required package might already be present in the remote download repos. It would be best to have an additional repository, such as contrib, which adds extra packages to the core Debian Linux system. To enable and use the contrib repository in Debian Linux version 10/11/12 or newer versions, follow the instructions below.

How to open DHCP port using UFW in Linux
The Uncomplicated Firewall (UFW) needs to be configured to allow traffic on UDP ports 67 and 68, regardless of whether the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server is local or remote. Additionally, it may be necessary to open both TCP and UDP port 53, which are used for Domain Name Service (DNS). In small business and home environments, typically, both DNS and DHCP services come from a single device. Hence, it would be best if you opened both DHCP and DNS ports using the ufw command.

How to reboot Alpine Linux using Ansible when kernel is updated
