<p>01 - THE PODCAST RIG ATE ITSELF — AND IS NOW RUNNING OMARCHY</p>

<p><b>Sunday 6 Sep:</b> "<b>My Umbrel docker containers did not survive the OS upgrade from Ubuntu 20 to 24 on my podcast rig.</b> <b>This is why I never upgrade anything.</b> I still have some Ubuntu 12 and 18 servers running." — a sentence that should be on a T-shirt at Podcast Movement.</p>

<p><b>Tuesday, the diagnosis, and he takes it on the chin:</b> "It was a <b>v1 to v2 docker compose transition issue</b>. It was <b>very much my fault for not RTFM before doing do-release-upgrade</b>." Plus: "doing <b>2 upgrades back to back</b> to get from LTS 20 to 24."</p>

<p><b>To @ericpp, same day, the two-line eulogy:</b> "<b>It's incredibly borked.</b>" → "<b>I'm closing the channel you have open to me because I'm going to have to wipe this box.</b>" — note that the lightning channel was collateral damage. That matters for §02.</p>

<p><b>Thursday 10 Sep, the rebuild:</b> "<b>Omarchy on the podcast rig now. Let's see how this goes.</b>" and then, shortly after, "<b>Podping gossip watcher up and running on it.</b>"</p>

<p><b>The genuine question underneath:</b> the podcast rig runs podping's gossip watcher. <b>What is actually load-bearing on that box</b>, and should anything that the wider ecosystem depends on be sitting on a machine you're willing to wipe on a Tuesday?</p>

<p><b>@js to you directly, 11 Sep:</b> "@adam <b>it's like an advent calendar until the IPO — behind today's door is</b>..." and then the Anthropic threat-intelligence report.</p>
