Successfully upgraded my FreeBSD server plus Jails to 14.3-RELEASE :-)

Uneventful, smooth upgrade experience, as always yay.

If you're considering #Plex as a #MediaServer I would advise you to avoid it like the plague, particularly if you're considering spending money on a subscription.

The recent "upgrade" was anything but an #upgrade, breaking numerous functions, seeing regression bugs, changes in functionality and compatibility for devices that were not previously announced, and seemingly no plan to resolve these issues once they presented themselves. With a huge influx of support issues on the forum and a significant amount of people reporting #CompleteFailure their response was not ownership or even acknowledgement and a pause of the rollout and/or roll-back to a working version was not even entertained. The only solution for many was to roll back to a previous version (if you could find the binaries) but then back end changes meant that subsequently #failed also leaving many with non-functional servers.

Support pages on their internet page are being edited or removed post-rollout to remove information about compatible hardware that no longer works after the update.

I would rank this rollout as one of the worst I have ever experienced and has cemented the fact that they do not care about #Support or good #Software distribution practices but instead will take your money and leave you with a completely unusable product and barely any support.

Ukrainian warfare: upgrading and improving an old personal carrier to being better than contemporary vehicles.

"New Life of M113: How Ukraine’s ‪@khartiiabrygada‬ Upgrades Old War Taxis To Fight the Russians" [6:56 min]

Quote by U24:
"May 10, 2025
Ukraine keeps on innovating to try and make the most out of equipment that was supposed to be decommissioned long ago. The United24 team met with soldiers from the Khartiia Brigade who adapted the US-made, decades-old M113 with an automatic turret and electronic warfare, giving new life to these battle-hardened vehicles that bring men into the heart of assaults."

Seriously, I wish more manufacturers would build cases like the #LianLi #PC62, cuz I think @lazygamereviews 's #Megalunium Monster PC is really slick when it comes to #upgrade|ability & #repair|ability...

• More cases should've tool-free removeable #mainboard & PCIe slot trays!

Now that support for #Windows10 ends in October this year, what do you do?

Buy a new #PC or #laptop because your current hardware isn't good enough according to #microsoft

Do you #upgrade to #Windows11 for which you need an MS account?

There is an alternative that is better in many, many ways: install #Linux and keep your hardware.

I finally got my #Ubuntu desktop upgraded! I went from a first generation Intel Core i3 with 16 GB of RAM, to a fancy new motherboard and an 8-core AMD Ryzen 7 Pro 1700 with 64 GB of RAM.

I also replaced my measly Nvidia video card with 2 GB of RAM to a pretty decent GeForce GTX1650 with 6 GB of RAM.

@Viss I can FINALLY play Half-Life 2 at native resolution on my big monitor!

️ Il capo-economista della #BankofChina: "I dazi di #Trump ci costano il 15% delle nostre esportazioni, ma eravamo pronti, stiamo qui da 5000 anni prima degli USA e staremo qui per almeno altri 5000 anni. Scambieremo merci con altri paesi".

'Just a heads up that I'm going to pause the Universe tonight around 11pm to make some changes to the JSON file, going to delete Netanyahu, Putin, DT, Musk, Adani, Rinehart, Dutton, and a few others.. downtime should only be about 5 minutes but most wont experience the passage of time being on pause and all.. Things should work a lot better after the update and evolution will be re-enabled.'

The biggest upgrade since the launch of #LittleBrats is out: go back to childhood and play Freeze Tag, British Bulldog, Chicken-Fox-Snake... and lots more to discover in the trailer!

Abschied nach 12 Jahren: Die alten Cisco-Router im #XWiN treten ab!
Nach treuen Diensten im #Hochgeschwindigkeitsnetz weichen sie einer neuen Generation: Die Nokia 7750 Servicerouter bringen mit 108 Tbit/s Kapazität & 800G-Schnittstellen das Netz auf Touren. Und nachhaltig bleibt’s auch – die Cisco-Veteranen bekommen eine zweite Chance an neuer Stelle.

Danke für euren Einsatz!

Upgraded my Mastodon instances to v4.3.4 from v4.3.2 finally.

With containers it's relatively painless.

That said, I really would like the Mastodon admin interface have settings for post lengths and number of poll items.

It's a bit of a pain to vet and correct whether ./app/javascript/mastodon/features/compose/containers/compose_form_container.js, ./app/validators/status_length_validator.rb, and ./app/validators/poll* need to be changed/updated/migrated for every new minor release. Not a big deal, truly, but it is something to fat finger and something else to track in your environment.

Mastodon is fabulous and complex but a little addition like this would go a long way to ease admin burdens.
