Because security hates your docker images.
Well, it has come to pass that any images that have git installed on them, and are based on debian bookworm (which is a fair number of images, given that trixie is still relatively new) will trigger a security vulnerability because of CVE-2025-48384 which is very cool. Boom, the security team are telling you that you have to patch all the things because it’s classed as a HIGH vulnerability (and 8.0 is high).
Never bothered upgrading to a fixed IP Address, how sad.
I’ve been with BT Broadband since pretty much its inception; it hasn’t been awful, and I’ve never been a fan of the race to the bottom. I remember the old Alcatel frog modem and all the joys that entailed; one of the things that I’ve never bothered with is having a fixed IP Address; didn’t really see the point what with VPNs and all that. However, recently, for work purposes they wanted to have a whitelist of IP Addresses that could access non-functional testing services.
Was there a point to making my upgrade rollback-able?
Pi-Hole 6.0 finally came out after a long beta, so of course we have to upgrade as soon as is practicable. It didn’t end up being that hard an upgrade, but I wanted the configuration to be switchable between 5/6 in the initial instance within my kubernetes environment; this ended being the reason I haven’t just got a pihole.toml and mounted it via a configmap. In the end the biggest issue was that dnsmasq behaviour had changed.
I’m never getting these 2 hours back again
Yep, I use Microk8s to run my local homelab; this is in spite of the fact that I know just enough to be dangerous and run kubernetes the hard way. I’m also baselining my underlying OS on Ubuntu, and yes, I know that Canonical doesn’t adhere to the one true way so I deserve everything that I’m getting here.
I’m ‘chalant’ about this, but it was the least worst option
The experimental quarkus update (or gradle quarkusUpdate) seems like a cool feature that really should graduate out of experimental. I’ve been happily using it in my personal projects and it works quite nicely under Linux conditions; Windows not so much. Sadly though, openrewrite the underlying plugin that is used by quarkus to do its thing doesn’t support gradle multi modules very well. I am, by no means, a gradle expert (who among us really is) and it seems that init scripts in a multi-module don’t run under the same conditions as a single module project (relentless banging on keys like a demented monkey hoping for a Shakespeare-esque moment ended in failure).
