What's that smell? Oh, look, a MongoDB 3.0 in production! It grew up to 300GB. Not bad, not bad.

The migration deadline is in two weeks or so. Let's organize a migration to 7.0 💪🏻

Luckily, the downtime is not very important on that database.

I tried:
- on new version, dump remotely and restore locally: version too old, 3.6 or more required
- on old version, dump locally and restore remotely: no valid server found
- on new version, connect remotely via ssh to run the dump command, pipe to the local restore command: it works!

I still need to fix the following problems:
- password is prompted even if I read or use a variable
- pipes can be used only for a single collection, but the collection variable isn't updated so the first collection is dumped over and over

At the end of the day, I know it's possible. But folks, my mental health has been altered 😅

Ah, the grand odyssey of #postmarketOS continues to stagger forward 🚶—now with slightly less incomprehensible #audio on ancient MSM89x7 chips and a small army of #Xiaomi devices pretending to care 💪. Meanwhile, our heroes bravely face the Sisyphean task of explaining anything tech-related to mere mortals 🧠❓.

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.

Insider berichten, dass die konversationsfähige Version von #Siri, die auf fortschrittlicheren Sprachmodellen basiert, wohl erst mit #iOS 20 erscheinen wird. Ursprünglich plante #Apple laut #Bloomberg, das große Siri-#Upgrade auf der #WWDC in diesem Juni vorzustellen und mit iOS 19.4 im März 2026 zu veröffentlichen. Dieser Zeitplan scheint jedoch nicht mehr realistisch, weshalb das Upgrade voraussichtlich erst mit iOS 20 kommen wird.

Daan Tech qui vend un kit qui permettant d'upgrader les produits Bob déjà vendus (mini lave-vaisselle) sans tout changer, en remplaçant juste quelques composants. Une démarche très geek et à l'inverse de la politique d'obsolescence programmée des autres marques... Franchement. Chapeau. Les mentalités sont en train de changer. Bientôt des kits à imprimer soi-même avec une imprimante 3D ? #DaanTech #Bob #ObsolescendeProgrammée #Upgrade youtube.com/watch?v=rawjB84dCa
