Well fuck.Upgraded my server's OS, so now it's on PHP8.2And nextcloud is the thing which this breaks: You are version 24, and version 24 doesn't support PHP8.2.Damnit. Right.Fine, I'll install the latest version then.Oh no: Nextcloud don't support jumping more than one version at a time.It wants me to find and install version 25 first, and then version 26, and only then version 27.I wonder if version 25 supported PHP8?....Nope.Well that's fucked then isn't it?Anyone got any clues how I can upgrade to version 25 when my PHP version is too new for that old version of Nextcloud?#nextcloud #sysadmin #upgrade #php

@stux One of the first things I wanted to see done with it was train it up on everything John Bercow had ever said in the house of commons and use it as a moderator in a chat-room.Order! Order! The right honorable gentleman will retract the remarks!

@darnell if y'all would stop calling petrol "gas" then there's be no need for a qualifier weird to distinguish methane from gasoline. ;)

@cjd @darnell And yet here we just say "gas" and everyone knows what we mean cos we don't put gas in a car.

@stux The speed at which you progress impresses and depresses me.Can you come and fix my quaternions in my VR project? 😆

@stux I spend so much time essentially just trying multiplying quaternions in random orders until one of them seems to do roughly what I want.If it doesn't work, try revering the polarity, or multiplying them in a different order, or multiplying the inverse with it first.One day i will understand what I'm doing and not have to do it that way. Or the AI will help me.

@stux Yeah, youtube videos often fail to start for me, especially now they're adding all the ad-blocking stuff.I just click this bookmarklet stored in my bookmarks and then watch at Yewtube instead.javascript:(function(){window.location.href=window.location.href.replace("www.youtube.com/watch?v=","yewtu.be/watch?v=");})();

I've been coughing and sick for more than a week now :(Apparently there's a lot of it about.Dunno how you get a doctors appointment these days. Lots of clicks to register with their app and then it just says there aren't any appointments to be had.Maybe they get released at like 9am or something. Will try and check again in the morning.

Website has no appointments at all ever, the phone number leads to a robot that says to fill in a web-form for an "e-consultation", that leads to a message saying "yeah, that's serious phone up" which leads to a receptionist saying that there are indeed no appointments.Right. So seems we don't have any doctors here. She reckons I might stand a chance calling after 6pm when the out of hours doctors are on instead.Not ideal.

Remembered that there's some health insurance comes with the job these days.They of course require that I install an app, and then that I take photographs of my driving license and send them a selfie.Even those lucky enough to be privileged to be allowed health care must apparently submit to invasive apps and document scans.Fuck this modern internet really. Fuck it.

Gate-keeping health care seems like a good idea really, you don't wanna be handing out antibiotics to everyone with a virus, say.But the gatekeepers need to actually be available for that to work.

Well the doctor on the app says I need to go see a proper doctor to have a stethoscope stuck on my chest but of course we've been trying to do that already.The proper doctor has no appointments.These folks claim to allow me to book a face2face with someone further away in London than my local doc, but when I press that button in their app I just get a 404 page-not-found.😆 Fucks sake.

To my (Labour) MP:---Dear Emily Thornberry,I've been a bit sick the last couple of weeks so I tried to see a doctor.They use an app to give you a run-around these days instead of just answering the phone of course, but the app said I should indeed see a doctor.They have no appointments though. The app says no, the receptionist says no.No doctors in N7 it seems.I remembered that I'm lucky enough that the boss pays for health insurance. I'm against health insurance really. Paying to skip the queue is the way I see it.Tried that and once their app finished giving me a run-around talked to a doctor on a video call, who said yes, indeed you should go see a proper doctor with a stethoscope.But that's just pointing me back at the surgery with no appointments.Vitality, that's the private stuff my boss pays for, has a "book a face to face" option in their app, but that just leads to an error page.Their tech-support contact won't reply for three days.Hope you guys win next election, because it seems the conservative party have broken the NHS completely.Please try and fix it, and do so by making them not use bleeding apps all over the place giving you the run around and spying on you.Ban health apps!Meanwhile I guess I just have to continue to cough, I have given up seeking medical advice. There is no health service in London any more it seems, which is very sad.Yours with much coughing, now hoping it'll just clear up itself because sadly there are no doctors in the UK.

The support from when I complained about being redirected to an error page says I'll have to wait 72 hours for a reply.I wonder if I can buy antibiotics on the dark web.

Imagine if the internet had been used to actually connect people to the health service instead of it being used as a gate to keep people out and give them the run-around.What a world that would have been.

Feeling a bit better today. Might not have to resort to dark-net penicillin orders after all.

@stux I visited your game and now every time I point my mouse-pointed into the tabs-row I get a warning you have control of my mouse! Even though the window has been closed for hours.Firefox bug presumably.Would be funny if the hero could swap gender by pressing T and then when they swapped gender it terrified Musk so he runs away.
