An incredible sports Thursday (SF Giants dramatic opening day win, Texas Tech win in OT at March Madness in San Francisco) culminated in this incredible finish in Chicago. Josh Giddey does to the Lakers what LeBron and LA did to the Pacers earlier this week—only this was more dramatic and unreal. #bulls #bullseye #joshgiddey #nba

A little group I am part of has its own server. It hosts our website and a nextcloud instance. It is on a Hetzner machine. OK so far so good. The problem is that the person who set it up has left and I am the only one foolish enough to try to maintain it. The problem though is that I don't know how.

It is still running Debian Buster. I tried to follow a guide to at least upgrade it to bullseye, but something breaks. I think that it is something to do with its network configuration. This is mostly because I saw a comment that said if you are using a KVM Host with bridged networking, then you need to add bridge_hw eth0 (or whatever your network interface is called) to your network config otherwise the network won't start and you won't be able to reach the server. Weirdly I can SSH in after the upgrade, but the console shows lots of networky error messages and the website and nextcloud become unreachable.

Fine, I doubt any one will be able to help from that error description, but maybe you can point me at a foolproof guide to upgrading. I can't find one in the Hetzner docs.

I shouldn't rush that much to upgrade my Pi-Hole to the never v6 version after 1-2 day after it released in February 18th, just to end up brooking my existing setup. I had to start over since I was dumb enough to not make a backup of my existing working setup, I don't know what I expected. While the update was nearly fished the gravity updated failed and I had to stop the it with CTRL-C after waiting for hours to complete, it was stuck for some reason. After rebooting my pi the pihole service still started up but slowed down my pi and got completely unresponsive. I had run Bullseye on my Pi Zero W v1.1 board and either way I still wanted to upgrade to Bookworm. I had an older backup of my pi's sdcard with Bullseye and pihole v5 on it that I could flash back to use while I finish setting up the new image with Bookworm and pihole v6. I know I could avoid complicating things if I had another sdcard that I could use for the new image, not having to copy back and fourth different images while making lots of backups frequently of the new image after working on it for a couple of hours.
The only thing that made less painful doing it this was using pishrink that spared me hours whenever I needed to copy back the new image making it way faster then copying back 32 GB that takes a long time. I'm can't be happier that I found this nice tool that speed up significantly copying the images and swapping between the old perfectly working one and the new one until the new one was set up fully.
It took me days regardless to finish the new image because of lack of time to sit down and work on it until it's done, only doing small steps at a time. Now everything is working fine, I'm running the latest pihole version on bookworm for just about two weeks.
But probably I had to start from an fresh new install, because I tried upgrading from bullseye to bookworm and it wasn't end up well, probably there was lots changes between the two.

A quotation from Josh Billings

When yu hav bored the bulls eye, set down, and keep still, folks will think then that yu kan hit it enny time you hav a mind to.

#PhotoOfTheDay: #LEDA 1313424: The #Bullseye #Galaxy

The giant galaxy cataloged as LEDA 1313424 is about two and a half times the size of our own Milky Way. Its remarkable appearance in this recently released Hubble Space Telescope image strongly suggests its nickname "The Bullseye Galaxy".

It was time for a few incremental upgrades...

updated my 2 lan #pihiole from #bullseye -> #bookworm and to #version6 . If you only have one pihole remember it deletes your upstream #DNS entries while updating to v6

If Target (just "tar-get", no longer "Tar-jhet") can delete my DEI programs, I can delete the Target program from my tablet.

Now for something completely different: A beautiful #Hubble picture reveals something astronomers haven't seen before ... a smashed-up, splashed-up galaxy with nine starry ripples. https://cosmiclog.com/2025/02/04/bullseye-how-a-galaxy-collision-stirred-up-ripples-in-space/ #Bullseye #Galaxy #Space

Le télescope spatial Hubble de la NASA a capturé une cible cosmique ! La galaxie gargantuesque LEDA 1313424 ondule avec neuf anneaux remplis d’étoiles après qu’une « flèche » – une galaxie naine bleue beaucoup plus petite – a traversé son cœur.

A deep dive into Bullseye: how it hit all the nostalgia buttons, worked for new viewers, and could work as a series.

Plus how many viewers did Masterchef lose after the Gregg Wallace unpleasantness came to light. Did viewers go because of the allegations, or because we're bored of the format?

And! How did Thomas Hardy resolve the original cliffhanger, and what's the link with Victorian undergarments?
