  • I was the same way for a few years. I don’t know exactly was the “fix”, but this is what I’ve stated doing to help me go to bed:

    • Podcast: I found listening to a podcast made a huge difference for me. It has to be one that’s interesting enough to pay attention to, but not one that is too interesting you have to listen to every second of it. That way I can lay in bed and not be bored, but also not care if I miss anything. My go-to is the LTT podcast; Dungeons & Daddies is also good, but I want to pay attention more so it doesn’t work as well. Also use an app with a configurable sleep timer. Eventually you’ll figure out approx how long it takes for you to fall asleep based on if you miss anything vs getting up to restart the timer.
    • Bedtime Routine: A routine helps tell your body it’s time for bed. Bedtime tea, washroom, brush teeth, shower, then climb into bed.
    • No Games before Bed: When it’s close to bedtime, I stop playing games and switch to watching videos. Less brain effort.
    • Dim Lights at Night: Might be a bit too much effort, but I’ve setup all my lights to dim starting at 11pm. Bedroom dims all the way down to min brightness.
    • Caffeine: No coffee after 5, ideally not after 3
    • Cool Temps at Night: If you can, lower your house temps by a few degrees before bed and overnight too
    • Happy Lamp: It’s basically a bright light you point at your face during the day. Where I live, the sun rises pretty late, sets pretty early, and I have a work-from-home job so I don’t get a lot of actual sunlight. My SO said that my mood has definitely improved since starting to use it, and it helps with your circadian rhythm.

    I hope this helps!















  • I haven’t gone through your specific case, but generally what I do when doing a major update with potentially breaking changes:

    • Read the upgrade guides, if they have them. Some devs will put them out if they know their users will encounter issues when upgrading. If they don’t have an upgrade guide, there might be some in the change logs. Going from 1.17.1 to (assuming) 2.x.y, check the change logs at 2.0.0.
    • Backup everything. I’d recommend doing this on a regular basis anyway.
    • (If you’re running it in a docker container) Setup a second instance, restore the backup, then run the upgrade. You’ll be able to check to see if it breaks at all. If it works, you can just destroy the old one and use the new one
    • (if you’re not running it in a container) with the backup, try upgrading. If it breaks, you should be able to uninstall & reinstall the old version, then restore the backup

  • It says Hungary was violating Brussels laws, but doesn’t explain what and the nuances of why the Danish are going after Hungary.

    From what I found: Hungary put a new law in place that says they can investigate and prosecute anyone that “threatens the sovereignty of Hungary” [source]. But because of how the law is written, it violates the EU policy that states citizens have the right to privacy.

    It seems like the Danish are pulling an article 7 (to block Hungary from voting) so they can boot out Hungary who is an opponent to Ukraine becoming an EU member; which is causing problems with the EU supporting Ukraine against Russia
