- Pin dependency versions
- Update ONLY when you need a particular fix/feature

Here I was thinking the USB port on my phone was dead because I couldn't get it to charge and a reboot fixed the problem. 🙃

You think you've seen all the jank in #homelab and then someone shows a takeout container being used as a GPU enclosure.
