Wait y'all aren't just auto updating all your services until it stops working then panic fixing it?

I accidentally yolo'd this update last night and it's working fine, so you have at least one piece of anecdotal evidence.

[-] kokesh@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

I would say sudo apt upgrade

[-] yaroto98@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Or click on the docker container in the gui and pick update.

I YOLO updated with Watchtower. Nothing broke. I survived the 12.0 update unscathed this time.

yall kept fearmongering this and i prepared for this damn update and it was literally just clicking update and waiting for the docker container to update.

nice one, always good to have a little reminder to update my outdated services pop up in my feed lol. Had a little peruse through the rest of your website after reading, did a little snoop on the services you're hosting on your homelab atm hehe. Would you be open to a little feedback on the site from a random stranger's perspective?

A lot of the non-article content on the site read a lot more corporate/generic/AI-vibes than I think you'd like given what you wrote in your AI-usage disclosure article. You might want to go through the non-article copy and see if it can be edited more heavily to actually make it sound like your voice saying it.

Some examples include:
"No accounts. No “Premium” tiers. No metadata harvesting." on your wallpapers page
"Whether you’re a Linux veteran or just looking for an alternative to the Windows/Google ecosystem, I aim to provide direct, no-fluff content based on real-world testing." in the about me section

They stick out really hard when contrasted against your articles, because you can see that your articles actually have your own voice in them. I know you've got the line "I'm a sysadmin not a copywriter" in a few places, but really, if you have a blog, you'll be alienating your readers by not atleast trying to be both.

Also your 'tools' page is probably the coolest part of your site so I think it really deserves a section pointing to it on the homepage, since most people don't go straight for the nav menu.

To end on a sweeter note, I really like the visual styling you did for the archive it's really cute and it pleasantly surprised me.

Thank you for taking the time, I will definitely take these points into consideration.
