Very much stuck with updating our TROMsite server. That is all of the websites we have except the TROM.tf ones.
Here's the conundrum:
- We use @YunoHost and a VPS.
- YNH pushed a big update recently from Debian 11 to 12.
- Our VPS is containerized and fails to do this big update through YNH. Thus a fatal failure and unable to reach the server if we update. Nuked. Took many failed attempts, and many days to figure the reason.
- The hosting company cannot help in any way.
Solution (not really):
- Buy a new VPS with Debian 11 (not too easy to find)
- Install an older YNH there.
- Restore our YNH setup from the older one using Borg and do the update to Debian 12 from that server.
BUMMER!
- The Borg YNH app is broken and thus all of our backups are broken. An issue with the folder structure inside the backup archives. Seems easy to fix and they are fixing it, but we need to wait fo

AFTER BORG IS FIXED:
- Say we buy a new server with Debian 11. Restore YNH there and do the update there.
TROMjaro FORUM WILL BE DEAD:
- There is a huge issue it seems with Discourse (the TROMjaro forum software we use). It did not receive any updates in months and months. And it fails to restore any backup on any system. Thus if we move to a new server in order to update to YNH Debian 12, we cannot restore the forum.
Very very difficult, if not impossible situation.

in reply to Gerry McGovern • • •Disturbance of the seafloor
The digging and gauging of the ocean floor by machines can alter or destroy deep-sea habitats. This leads to the loss of species, many of which are found nowhere else, and the fragmentation or loss of ecosystem structure and function. It is the most direct impact from deep-sea mining and the damage caused is most likely permanent.

By May 2022, the International Seabed Authority (ISA), which regulates activities in the seabed beyond national jurisdiction (‘the Area’), had issued 31 contracts to explore deep-sea mineral deposits. More
than 1.5 million km2 of international seabed, roughly the size of Mongolia, has been set aside for mineral exploration.

in reply to Gerry McGovern • • •Under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), the Area and its mineral resources are the common heritage of humankind. This means they must be managed on behalf of and in the interests of all humanity including through: the sharing of economic benefits; support for marine
scientific research; and the effective protection of the marine environment.

in reply to earthling • • •At the IUCN World Conservation Congress in Marseille (September 2021), IUCN Members adopted Resolution 122 to protect deep-ocean ecosystems and biodiversity through a moratorium on deep-sea mining unless and until a number of conditions are met. These include:
• The risks of mining are comprehensively
understood and effective protection can be ensured;
Rigorous and transparent impact assessments are conducted based on comprehensive baseline studies;

in reply to earthling • • •• The Precautionary Principle and the ‘Polluter Pays Principle’ are implemented;
• Policies incorporating circular economic
principles to reuse and recycle minerals have been developed and implemented;
• The public are consulted throughout decision-making;
• The governance of deep-sea mining is
transparent, accountable, inclusive, effective and environmentally responsible.
