  • 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






  • 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)





  • 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’m in the same boat with a few others here when it comes to some games like Halo and Fallout. But I feel like I’m on the brink with 2 new ones:

    • Doom: I played the original when I was a kid and got bullied for it (or probably being a general nerd). 2016 and Eternal were really popular and the franchise took off; but Dark Ages feels off. I played Dark Ages for a bit, put it down, and haven’t picked it up since. I think Doom is going down the shitter, especially what they did to Mick Gordon.
    • Mother Mother (a band): My SO and I love their music for how unique and interesting it is; and we went to one of their first concerts at a small venue when they came into town ~10 years ago ish? Must have been <500 people. Generally no one else liked their music we shared it with, so we kept it to ourselves. Now? We went to another one a few months ago and it was at a HUGE stadium; absolutely packed. I think one of their songs went viral on TikTok - My Daddy’s got a gun. We’re proud of what they’ve accomplished, but really hope they don’t lose their identity in trying to become even more popular.



    • Don’t go to bed with the same clothes you wore during the day. The perspiration will make you really cold at night
    • Even though it’s warm during the day, don’t assume it’ll be warm at night. The temp differences can be quite drastic
    • pack your clothes for the next day in your sleeping bag so they’re warm in the morning. I usually either roll them up and use them as a pillow, or put them deep inside my sleeping bag by my feet.
