Interesting, I’ve never had this problem and have been using the auto upload for many years. I only use it for the photo taking, though. Any time I go through a phone cleanup and delete photos and videos, I’ll look at the folders I backup to on nc and actually go through them carefully to make sure everything was uploaded.

My install comes from f-droid so not sure if that’s something to do with it (unless yours is too).

I’ve got it setup automated on all my external domains, but trying to automate it on my internal-only domain is rather tedious since not only do I NOT want to open a port for it to confirm, but I have 2 other devices/services on the network not behind my primary reverse proxy that share the same cert.

What In need to do is setup my own custom cron that hits the hosting provider to update the DNS txt entries. Then I need to have it write and restart the services that use the cert. I’ve tried to automate this once before and it did not go so smoothly so I’ve been hesitant on wasting time to try it again… But maybe it’s time to.

What would be ideal is if I could allow it to be automated just by getting a one time dns approval and storing a local private/public key to prove to them that I’m the owner of the domain or something. Not aware of this being possible though.

I’d hesitate disabling it altogether, unless you’re absolutely certain nothing will need it. One suggestion I haven’t seen mentioned is looking at the other sysctl options that might be tweaked. Check with netstat how many of those connections are stuck in established, close wait, time waiting, etc. It’s possible you just need to lower the default values of things like nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_established, for example. https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/networking/nf_conntrack-sysctl.html - naturally, research anything you think you might want to change before you do.

Daily on my Gentoo server, through a Cronjob every morning. It’s a custom script though, so there’s more than just doing an emerge update. It’ll send me ntfy notifications for the update results, if there are new news items, and if there are any time config merge updates to make. A few other things as well but that’s the main stuff.

Other servers, typically weekly or only manually when I ssh into them (for the ones I don’t really feel the need to update frequently).

Man, we just can’t win with these UI tools, I also thought Bruno was the solution. Only use it on my work machine so that’s why I guess I never noticed this. Thank you for sharing, time to go back to digging for better alternatives.

I’m shocked how far I had to scroll down before it was mentioned, I was getting scared I would have to say it lol

And after that, I now can’t wait for the next pull request with a regular expression on email validation to come through.

As a professional, my reasoning for NOT using AI is as follows:

1. I don’t want to lose the muscle memory of what I do. Sure AI might be able to do annoying things like test templates… But that’s not a skill I want to forget or lose, as self written unit tests have actually helped me catch mistakes that “would have worked” in prod (i.e. Code functions, but has undesired outcomes). AI can’t usually spot that.
2. As a person who digs deep in cyber security and monitors heavily the malicious realm, I’m paranoid of malicious or weak code being spit into my repos.
3. I’m a privacy nut, too. Most “good” AI solutions are anti privacy.
4. If anyone here has done a proper code review of AI generated code from coworkers, they should know it adds a ton of extra time because of errors, inconsistencies with repo practices, etc and actually wastes the time of the developer and reviewers.

Am I saying “NEVER AI?”? nah. But it’s far from ready for me personally to even consider for programming purposes. I’m also well aware this isn’t what many others think or feel; I don’t scream at people for using it if it’s what they feel helps them.

To be fair, this is true for Windows and Mac too, unless you aren’t counting the simple scape goat of wiping and reloading lol

Dang, talk about flashbacks I didn’t expect. Nicely done!

Another screensaver I miss and would actually put on my machine if I could… Johnny Castaway.

Also hard to relate. Got my Gentoo server running full auto updates every morning and then send an ntfy alert on success or failure. Haven’t seen a failed update in so long (other than the occasional package that had a bad build or something once in a while).

Back when I was fresh in the Gentoo and Linux world (Gentoo is where I started) and updating once a month, I can definitely say I ran into issues… dunno if it’s that big of an issue these days though.

Not an opinion, I have an actual situation with my eyes where they twitch uncontrollably when presented with bright lights for a long period of time. I have tried minimum screen brightness, lowered contrast/colors, auto brightness based on the environment, various software solutions to removing blue light 24/7 from the screen - none of it worked. Went permanently dark theme on everything, magically eyes haven’t twitched in years.

Light theme vs dark theme is not just a preference, it’s an actual accessibility need for some of us.

I totally thought because of how long the equals looked, it was multiple equals characters, not just >>= lol. That’s what got me confused. Don’t think these are things I’d personally use but each to their own preferences right xD

What is that weird >>=== symbol? Looks like a cross breed between C and JavaScript here.

I hate short variable names in general too, but am okay with them for iterators where i and j represent only indices, and when x/y/z represent coordinates (like a for loop going over x coordinates). In most cases I actually prefer this since it keeps me from having to think about whether I’m looking at an integer iterator or object/dictionary iterator loop, as long as the loop remains short. When it gets to be ridiculous in size, even i and j are annoying. Any other short names are a no go for me though. And my god, the abbreviations… Those are the worst.

Sorta kinda wondering (conspiracy thought, totally no evidence, just a random thing that came to my mind) if this is either an attack on AI or attempt to compromise those who use AI to write their code. Or both.

This post may have crashed Voyager twice… Once when scrolling by it, again when trying to reply. I don’t know why I can reply now.

Edit: lol I know why. My app auto updated at the same time I clicked reply. Perfect timing. Scrolling crash still unexplained though.

Use -F so you can keep getting those live reports even after the forest you’re watching vanishes
