Banter

  • The LUS Lemmy instance got an update.
    • The ansible repo switched to tagged releases. There were ⚠️breaking changes⚠️ that needed to be prepared for.
    • One of the issues Dan had is likely fixed now.
  • The Bug that's old enough to drink and drive, but hopefully not at the same time!
  • Dan installed Firefox from the .tar.gz download.
    • Spoiler - it updates just fine because my user is the owner in the /opt directory.
