Probably image. They don’t want to be associated with something they think the public will perceive as negative. Bitcoin was vilified initially because “criminals were using it” (but let’s forget about the part where cash is also untraceable). So they prob don’t want to be the “credit card company that supports pedophiles and rapists”

Looking through the docs n’ stuff, this is what I found:

• Updating Guide. Just basic steps, similar to what I explained above; but with commands to run.
• Backing up and restoring
• 2.0.0 Change Log. Unfortunately they don’t include any notes about how to upgrade

I wasn’t able to find any additional instructions on how to update other than the expected generic steps (docker pull or pip install -r requirements.txt). So my guess at this point is that they have scripts built in to check the version and run upgrade scripts as needed

I haven’t gone through your specific case, but generally what I do when doing a major update with potentially breaking changes:

• Read the upgrade guides, if they have them. Some devs will put them out if they know their users will encounter issues when upgrading. If they don’t have an upgrade guide, there might be some in the change logs. Going from 1.17.1 to (assuming) 2.x.y, check the change logs at 2.0.0.
• Backup everything. I’d recommend doing this on a regular basis anyway.
• (If you’re running it in a docker container) Setup a second instance, restore the backup, then run the upgrade. You’ll be able to check to see if it breaks at all. If it works, you can just destroy the old one and use the new one
• (if you’re not running it in a container) with the backup, try upgrading. If it breaks, you should be able to uninstall & reinstall the old version, then restore the backup

Just let it die already…

Alarms for the deaf come with bed shakers / vibrators. You just chuck a little puck under your pillow / mattress and it definitely wakes you

Sounds like bullshit coming down the pipes to try and distract us from the news that the commander in chief is a kiddy diddler

For context

What did you just call me??

That would require logical thinking though…

I usually only keep documents and media. Programs can be redownloaded and reinstalled (and it might be better to reinstall them in case you move to a new OS anyway to ensure compatibility).

For docker specifically, only keep stuff that’s specific for your instance; which you normally setup as an external volume anyway. Docker is designed such that you should be able to nuke the container, and all persistent data is restored via an external volume on the host. If you’re not doing that, you should immediately go and set that up now (to get the data out safely, setup a volume connection such that the container path is new - that way you don’t accidentally destroy what’s there, copy the stuff you need out, then readjust the path so it’s correct)

NSFW?

For those who don’t know:

As an educator myself, I agree with all of the points they mentioned in the article. I’m seeing the affects right now of students who have over-used AI, that are losing the ability to critically think, and inability to create well-structured essays. I’m not a proficient writer by any means (my course is a research course so the focus is on the research, not on the writing itself), but students have submitted essays with paragraphs of absolute nonsense. It’s strange - sometimes paragraphs will initially seem like it’s making a point, but won’t end up actually making it.

As much as I hate the slop that comes across my desk now, this is the world we live in today. I’ve tried boycotting it, but it doesn’t work; Students will use AI anyway. The worst part is that sometimes it’ll clearly be AI, but I don’t have any tools to prove it. I can’t prove it, so they just lose marks on shit writing.

Instead of trying to fight against new tech, I think this is one of those things where we need to teach how and when to appropriately use AI; and restructure courses to enforce the new teaching methods. There is a time and place for LLMs; but it’s a slow process to readjust courses for it.

Die a hero, or live long enough to become the villain

I’m taking the stance that Putins got some dirt on him, or he’s being held hostage via assassins. We all saw how close he was assassinated. Definitely russian special ops with how precise that shot was. No way would anyone like him be able to get in normally without external help, and no one sane would try to dismantle the US Gov’t from the inside. Notably he’s doing it with such efficiency - can’t be a moron & get into office AND be dumb enough to dismantle the govt like he is. BRICS even got Elon helping to take the govt down; and now they’re forcing them to create a 3rd party to destroy the US political system…

…Or they’re just fucking idiots

I hate how this official letter reads like one of his social media posts

I like how they think going proprietary is going to make customers want to buy their products. Fun fact: I’m now never going to buy a Synology product because it now won’t work with anything else

Vim ftw!

It says Hungary was violating Brussels laws, but doesn’t explain what and the nuances of why the Danish are going after Hungary.

From what I found: Hungary put a new law in place that says they can investigate and prosecute anyone that “threatens the sovereignty of Hungary” [source]. But because of how the law is written, it violates the EU policy that states citizens have the right to privacy.

It seems like the Danish are pulling an article 7 (to block Hungary from voting) so they can boot out Hungary who is an opponent to Ukraine becoming an EU member; which is causing problems with the EU supporting Ukraine against Russia
