Senior dev fix: creates a new test case alongside the fix

I would add that you can follow this guide for building Caddy with DNS Provider modules. For Docker you can start from the instructions for Caddy Docker Proxy

I use unbound as an upstream resolver for Pi-hole, not directly on my machines. Be aware that resolving new domains can incur some delay (about 1s), but once cached, it’s pretty quick, even for additional entries on the same domain.

1: I’m assuming (hoping) this wouldn’t be a full wipe and start over? It should just upgrade right?

Yes, you can upgrade in-place. If I recall correctly, you just have to change the release channel from LTS to non-LTS in the Sources app, then trigger an update (I don’t quite remember how to do)

2: Do I need to do the whole USB route, and if so is there an option to keep everything (I’m hoping, I put a LOT of work into this so far and I don’t remember if that was an option on first install).

No, as I said above. But it’s always a good idea to have backups if you ever need to wipe and re-install.

3: I remember a few apps I installed were specific to Noble, will this break those apps?

Hard to be 100% sure without knowing which apps and how they were installed, but most likely yes as their dependencies might no longer be available on Plucky.

4: It seems like there should be an option to upgrade from the desktop, but I don’t have that option. If I run plasma-distro-release-notifier I should get an update notification right? In which case I can just say “hell yeah!” and it’ll do its thing?

Refer to my first answer

What’s your issue exactly?

Personally, I set up Caddy with subdomains like radarr.local.example.tld, added a DNS entry on my domain so that *.local.example.tld points to the local IP of Caddy, then followed this guide so that Caddy issues TLS certificates using the DNS challenge (since the subdomains don’t point to anything accessible from Internet) along with the caddy-docker-proxy plug-in to easily manage upstreams.

Don’t you have any off-site backup? It would help keeping some peace of mind knowing you have a copy somewhere else.

In my experience with unbound, it tends to return expired records in the hope that they are still valid, causing issues with services hosted in the cloud, where IP addresses rotate regularly. What I did was update the serve-expired-ttl setting in unbound’s configuration to 3 hours (down from the default 24h)

Ah, good idea! I just don’t have any non-magnetic screwdriver at home, I’m afraid as to what might happen if I get its magnetic tip close to a drive.

Oh wait, I found a lousy screwdriver, it works like a charm! It’s definitely the bottom one. Thank you very much!

What originally started as a git repo for storing backup scripts and a list of GNOME Shell extensions now contains dot files, systemd units, Pipewire and Wireplumber configs, scripts for installing new software from Brew and Flatpak, and a systemd service that pulls and apply the latest changes on session startup.

I still think no-code tools are better suited for building prototypes without requiring development knowledge in order to prove your idea. LLMs just added a complicated extra-step.

I’d pick OpenSUSE over Bazzite because I don’t like the idea of updates possibly overwriting anything I install myself that isn’t flatpak/distrobox/homebrew

In atomic distributions you would install non-sandboxed programs in a layer that is applied on top of the base system. When your system is updated, that layer is applied back on top of the updated system. The only possible breakage would be if what you installed depends on a dependency in the base system that has been removed or which is no longer compatible.

I personally ended up running my containers on a VM on top of TrueNAS to get the best of both worlds (and because back then running applications directly on TrueNAS SCALE was convoluted)

You could read this article where the author runs NixOS in VMs on top of TrueNAS.

They kinda did with Deepseek out of necessity to circumvent the import restrictions on AI chips. But this model is very pro-China (it has lots of censorship built in)

This. I have been using it a lot lately to manipulate CSVs, it is such a godsend.

I guess the only appeal of third-party browsers on iOS is synchronization with their desktop counterparts. Maybe ad-blocking if the capability is offered (I’m not so sure about this one)

Zay-toon is also common in languages from the Iberic Peninsula: both Spanish and Portuguese got it (and a few other words) from Arabic.

Lemme guess: Switch emulator running on PC, streamed to the Vita using Moonlight? (or a screenshot)

You can’t, it just part of how Fedora works now. Maybe Fedora should patch Dolphin to take /sysroot into account instead of /

Fedora Atomic Desktop 42 switched to composefs, which has a small full partition mounted to /. Your “real” filesystem is mounted on /sysroot

I remember quite well burning an Ubuntu 9.04 Live CD, and before that trying an ancient Knoppix Live CD that my dad had laying in a drawer. I must have been 15 back then.
