In my previous job and my job at the bike shop, yes. But I don’t really care, its issues aren’t my problem.

Yeah, that was a surprise of a deal. It’s like the Canucks just gave up after the Sedins retired.

Interesting. After I got the new Debian running, I just updated the source for Jellyfin (and a few other packages) to Trixie, and it updated just fine.

Well I finally upgraded to 13, a few months later. The only issue was the blob file in glances, which I was ready to deal with. Oh and I had to install php-mysql.

I don’t like that you can’t start the Debian upgrade and just walk away. It stops and asks you about configuration files, so you have to babysit it. Other than that, it works well.

Yep!

I recently looked through every team community and found that the Caps are the only ones that post game day threads for each game. Now generally it’s just me and one other mod commenting, so it’s not crazy busy, but if you do watch a Caps game and want info on something that happens in it, feel free to ask. We generally watch or go to every game.

Unfortunately the exceptions are the games you’re most likely to be watching, like tomorrow’s game against the Kings, because it starts at 10:30 at night here, and my wife has to get up early, and I can’t stay awake that late anyway.

The Colorado Avalanche are doing quite well right now. Top of the league and I think they have a 10 game win streak going on right now, or something like that.

Of course it’s a long season, and we’re only a little past a quarter of the way through. The year the Blues won the Cup, they were not doing great going into January. Similarly, the year the Caps won it, no one really expected them to be contenders that year.

The Oilers and the Panthers (last year’s Cup finalists, which the Panthers won) aren’t doing as well as you might expect right now - but a lot of playoff success is getting hot at the right time.

The hockey gods giveth and the hockey gods taketh.

For some reason, if I were doing the physical media route, I’d want to ship the drives via FedEx or something similar. Presumably this isn’t the only copy of the data. Even if you still need to go, just dragging these drives around seems risky.

Yeah, almost two years ago, I bought a 10 tb drive to back up my 15 tb array that I’d built with 3 tb drives in ~2018. That new drive was under $200 then.

I think electing him twice should count for something.

I used VirtualBox on Linux to host my Home Assistant server for a while. I kept having odd issues with usb devices. I’d have to disconnect and reconnect them to get them working again.

Many people in the HA help groups say not to use VirtualBox, and at first I thought they were basing that on old info. But then I started having issues, too. On the other hand, kvm has been rock solid for a long time.

So I’m glad to see they continue to develop it, but I wouldn’t recommend it for heavy duty use. It’s useful to dipping toes into virtualization, or maybe for running systems for the short term (a few hours here and there, or something), but for long term use, I’d go another route. It’s certainly easier to set up the network in VirtualBox, I’ll grant that - it took me a while to get it right for HA on kvm. (Of course, that’s a one-time setup thing, too - I shouldn’t have to touch it again. And don’t ask me what I did, because I don’t remember!)

Yeah I used to compile my own kernels, selecting only the drivers I needed.

I’m sure I wasted far more time doing all that than I saved with a (theoretically) faster day to day system. Now I use stock kernels, and they work great!

I was tired of Windows 95.

Plus I was in grad school and was trying to avoid studying.

When I upgraded the desktop and laptop machines, I didn’t run into many issues. Had to reinstall the Nvidia drivers on the game machine. And deal with glances, but I mentioned that before.

I’ll probably update the server to 13 next week.

I had to rewrite part of my php-based photo management system, as it relied on a library that was originally written for php 4 or 5 and hasn’t been updated. Fortunately that wasn’t too hard. There might be other things lurking like that, but they aren’t critical problems - I can deal with them at leisure.

Did you go straight there, or go through 12?

Hey. I’m going through this right now. My server was 11, and I wanted to go to 13. I definitely didn’t want to get into a situation where the server required hours and hours of repair.

I’m halfway there. The upgrade to 12 went smoothly. The biggest headache was glances, first from the lack of web interface (which I was ready for), and the lack of RAID support (not ready). I might do the switch to 13 next week.

That’s a lot of effort just to Rickroll us!

Seriously, nice work. I’m always hesitant to use something like this because it’s another thing that can go wrong. But the idea is really cool.

I’m pretty sure it wasn’t installed by default in the previous version either, and maybe even the one before that. It’s a useful utility, after you locate it.

I need to do this, too. My server is still running Debian 11. Sounds like I need to update it to 12, then to 13 - ie do not directly go from 11 to 13.
