Yesterday after installing some new packages I was greeted by this kind reminder 😀
I began stopping services which use a Postgresql database and even forgot about Dendrite.. Nothing so bad as I imagined, tho, just run the suggested commands and everything got up and running in a few minutes.
Debian rocks! 😍
Today I wanted to install yet another web frontend for the services I host, i.e. mumble-web
I won't bore you with the install details, just know that it's basically JS and you need to install npm modules.. After some processing and a whole lot of deprecation warnings on screen, it finally failed. Then I looked at the logs it left and it was searching for python2!! Went back to the github page and found out the code is from about 3 years ago, with the latest issue being about one guy managing to build the software on Debian 11 with some old NodeJs version..
So, after a bit of disappointment, I delete the whole directory and be done with it. You know, there's no alternatives out there 😟
Now I would like to ask a question to disroot admins: how the hell are you running this junk on your server!? I believe they're using docker, still it's not safe in my opinion to run such old-unmaintained stuff.
I won't be doing that.
