Installing Docker-ce on Almalinux 10.2 results in "error initializing network controller" when trying to start the service.

Hi all,

This has me stumped and I've tried searching around but still have not found a solution.

So long story short, I got a VPS service with the location in NY, USA running Almalinux 10.2 . Straight out of the box, I was able to install docker-ce, caddy and have several containers running. I had this for about 2 weeks and it was running smooth.

Just a couple of days ago, I decided to request to change the server location to Ireland. I had the exact same OS installed and weirdly enough, I am now stuck at getting docker-ce to run. I've tried installing the latest as well as 2 minor versions prior (since the latest version was released on 16th July, the prior 2 versions were probably the closest to the one I had on the working system).

In all the 3 scenarios, I was unable to start the docker service. Running "dockerd --debug" I get this error message

Any ideas what could have gone wrong or what I need to do?

Bug in rest mechanic?

So according to the 1.60 update blog post, the mandatory break is required when driving for 10 hours straight.

I have noticed that when I stop at a rest stop and take a short break, say 2 hours. The timer for the mandatory break drops be that number of hours as well. Is that a bug? When I'm taking a break, I'm not driving so that specific timer should not advance, correct?

How to stop update from installing?

Hi all.

I just got the firetv 4k Max during Amazon prime sale.

I powered it up and could not find a way to get past the wifi connection screen. I ended up connecting it but before I could login, to my account it started to install the update. I tried power cycling it several times but I still end up seeing the installing update screen. Is there a way to wipe the update cache so I can login and disable automatic updates?

Migrating from Owntracks to Dawarich

Hi all,

Has anyone previously used Owntracks and has since migrated to another location history service? If so, how do you uninstall Owntracks short of nuking the server and starting afresh?

Also, for those who have moved to Dawarich, how do you perform backups? I know for Owntracks, I can SCP the *.rec files to my local machine for the users and I store them in a separate location as a rudimentary form of backup. What's the easiest / best way to do the same in Dawarich? Is it even possible or would logging into the account and performing an export be the easiest way? I believe Dawarich uses postgis / sql database stuff and I would prefer to not touch them if possible.

Edit : Ignore the second paragraph. I browsed the dawarich self-hosting guide and found some instructions on how to perform a database backup.

Hi all. I'm paying for a shared hosting provider and have Lychee gallery installed and running. I have several albums I would like to share with friends. I see there is an option to make the albums public but only accessible via direct link. I like this option as I don't have to deal with guest accounts and passwords and it'll be easier for me to share the direct links with friends and family.

How secure is this method of sharing? Hypothetically, can a search engine crawler discover the link of the shared album and subsequently index / access all the photos in the album?
