Another step backwards. "The Environmental Protection Agency rejected the bedrock scientific finding that greenhouse gases threaten human life and well being. It means the agency can no longer regulate them."
Claude speaks
ICE must be stopped. Unchecked vigilantes brandishing weapons, firing tear gas, smashing car windows, dragging people from vehicles, arresting citizens for filming them, killing people. No oversight. No de-escalation. No accountability. No agency is above the law.
I absolutely love how the book cover turned out!

Search is finally fixed on our site (or at least it appears to be). OMG. Let's see what I wake up to tomorrow. And thank you, Claude. @nostarchpress.bsky.social
Oh yes!!
Crazy deal. Please share!
My Linux machine runs just fine with the latest Ubuntu. Sure graphics aren't ideal but it gets the job done. I dual boot Windows, though rarely run it. Windows 10 is no longer supported and I can't install Windows 11. That's just wrong.
Docker alone is not security.
The result? The server is now fully patched against years of CVEs (including "Baron Samedit" and "Dirty Pipe"), the kernel is current, and we have a fresh Swap file for stability.
We publish books on breaking things, but today was about fixing them. 🛠️

The fix? "Nuclear Option."
docker rm -f $(docker ps -aq)
We force-wiped the confused container runtimes. Because we architected the data to live on persistent Hetzner Volumes (and not inside the containers), I was able to rebuild the stack from scratch and re-mount the existing data instantly.
The OS upgrade went fine, but Docker woke up angry.
I hit a KeyError: ContainerConfig. The modern docker-compose binary (v1.29) couldn't read the metadata from our ancient containers created by the 2019 engine. The stack refused to boot.
Rule #1 of Sysadmin Club: Paranoia is a virtue.
Before running a single update command, I did a "Cold Storage" backup. I shut down the database container and mirrored the raw volume data to physical USB drives.
Just finished performing open-heart surgery on our legacy production server. It was running a stack frozen in 2020 (Debian 10 + old Docker). We needed to pay down that technical debt to close security holes before our upcoming migration. it was nerve-wracking.
Lamb of God ticket secured.
