@pro I recently found out about a tool to upgrade the database on postgres, called pg_upgrade, at least on Artix/Arch. You have to have the old version installed somewhere (there's a package on artix/arch that will install the old postgres versions under /opt/) then you just give it the path to the old and new database, and old and new postgres binaries, and it handles moving the data over. Of course, that wasn't necessary on Ubuntu since it handled it automatically, but needs must
@stuff I had the vaccine very early on and didn't have any of those issues, but the vaccine was still for the current strain back then. I wouldn't get a booster now until they re-tune it for the Omicron and Delta strains. Last I heard Moderna was working on that.
@Bro-Drillard @zaitcev @AlbinoMutant From what I understand, in certain parts of the country they have already started with the scorched earth plan, especially in areas where they were retreating in the north, and more recently around Kharkiv. They only have so many members of the Wagner Group to go around though to enact that plan.
@zaitcev @Bro-Drillard @AlbinoMutant There's a defender's advantage as well. All of these combined make aggressive wars of territorial conquest less likely, and hopefully obsolete. China might have enough people to overcome that at least in the short term, but they're quickly converging on their own population crash because of the bill for Mao's incompetence coming due.
@Caernon Yeah, that's one thing that we definitely need to stop doing. Either don't make the promise, or keep it.
@Caernon Help can come in many forms, and providing tools is one of those. Though the confidence that our allies has in us right now in the region is a bit low due to the Scarborough Shoals mess. We negotiated a deal between the Philippines and China, then declined to enforce the deal we negotiated in any way when China didn't follow the agreement.

@Caernon It's probably useful for us to also help defend other democracies as well, such as Taiwan. It's not very useful for us to try and implement democracy on our own elsewhere.
I've always thought we should be an example, not an implementor, of democracy. We should defend our own and be a friend to others.
In the aftermath of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, it's time for Europe to step up and America to step back https://reason.com/2022/05/02/after-the-war/ via @reason
@fribbledom I believed they first showed this stamp off and issued it right around the same week that they sunk the ship.
@requiem I decided to go super low end on the hosting side for my blog. The machinery around it is complex for easy updating, but it can work all the way down to just a dumb webhost with no cgi. The parts that are necessary are Hugo and Git. The nice-to-have parts are GitLab, Cloudflare Pages and Forestry.io. The main way is to edit in forestry, then push to GitLab, which triggers Cloudflare Pages two download the git repo and build the static pages. Backup is vi and rsync.
@binarytango Yes, I used both forums and ran my own dialup BBS before using Fediverse. I still do not use Mastodon.
@Sirsquid I haven't noticed that on new unity games in particular, but I've found that pretty much all unity games have performance issues and long load times on any system I've tried them on.
@Cheeseness @greypilgrim Like that, though it seems to be more of a place for devs to talk to each other and to tool-makers for devs, rather than a place for devs to talk to game players. Same basic idea at a different level.
@Cheeseness @greypilgrim Right, was thinking that it could just be a place for developers to create game specific accounts if they don't want to build their own, rather than it being the only place for developers.

@avia My son is completely uninterested in jets. His favorites in order of preference are Tiltrotor, Biplanes, Helicopters, then other Prop Driven planes. The last airshow we went to, he bought a Stearman shirt and a V22 patch.
