Slurs spoke themselves unto the mouths of young GOP members again! I just hope that they're all OK!🤡

Slurs emitted themselves fully formed, from the fingertips of innocent far-right people! That must have been terrifying for them! 🤡

Pray for those that survived spontaneous chat room devolution! 🤡

The largest holder, with $16 million in $TRUMP tokens, is likely Justin Sun. He has registered using a hot wallet belonging to his HTX crypto exchange, meaning he may well be using customer funds to obtain a seat at the table. Sun has previously contributed $75 million to Trump’s WLFI project.

How Do I Update Docker Container/Image Version in QNAP Container Station?

How Do I Update Docker Container/Image Version in QNAP Container Station?

I needed to update a service running in docker container (Pi-hole – Network-wide Ad Blocking) on my QNAP NAS. It is running as a container and not an “app” (docker compose in QNAP vernacular) and was originally created by GUI. Googling for how to do using the QNAP QTS Container Station GUI only worked for apps. I eventually have figured out a general way to do what I need, using command line docker on the QNAP.

@caseyliss There are serviceable CarPlay and watchOS components in the Companion app. and Notifications, so you could get alerts (triggered by an automation, of course) right on your iPhone.

Actionable Notifications | Home Assistant Companion Docs

Actionable notifications are a unique type of notification as they allow the user to add buttons to the notification which can then send an event to Home Assistant once clicked. This event can then be used in an automation allowing you to perform a wide variety of actions. These notifications can be sent to either iOS or Android.
