omg, it only took me a month and a half with 50 or so failures wipes restores wipes and finally a fresh install after losing 3 database backups and imports, lost a few days of posts over all, but I finally got my #friendica instance upgraded to Friendica 'Blutwurz' 2026.04-dev - 1589 with php 8.5.2, and so far it appears to actually be working this time, i love friendica, I just wish the @Friendica Admins @Friendica Developers @Friendica Support had made it a bit more flexible every little change breaks everything, and it becomes a nearly never ending chase to customize and keep current, anyways for now I think my quite little instance is upgraded and running;

@Anomaly I get bored, I upgrade, I go bleeding edge crazy, break things, spend countless hours trying to get it all back, sometimes I enjoy the challenge, in any event, if 8.3.6 works and is stable why give yourself a potential stroke, stay with it, nothing wrong with old and stable, all my hardware is old slow and stable;

@pasjrwoctx👽 Currently with the dev version of friendica and php 8.3.6 I have no problems. I like a challenge too, but lately I've been feeling a little lazy. if it goes well I won't touch anything😅

@Anomaly i have a hard time leaving a dangling thread sometimes, it usually results in a lot of aggravation, but it keeps me busy so I don't feel so much of the pain im in, anyways stable is what I preach as I dangle off a cliff, have to accept the risk of failure and loss before jumping into chaos, sometimes I win and learn sometimes I lose and learn; actually at the moment its all working well, I am trying to figure out now how to disable comments, I have it working locally on my single user instance which is useless, the war is getting to to work across the fediverse without breaking everything else, #friendica is robust yet fragile, every little change seems to throw it into a panik or crash, I may figure it out by the next release, maybe;

@pasjrwoctx👽 There is always something to learn. Every time I make a small change, even a server update, I always take a snapshot + backup.

There is some reason why you want to disable comments.❓

@Anomaly just to figure out how to, it's been talked about being implemented, it is on mastadon and other federated networks, I'm sure the devs for Friendica will do eventually, but if I can learn how to make it work, it will be another puzzle I learned how to do;

@pasjrwoctx👽 well, if you do it, explain how you did it, it might help.🫡
