This is just a bit more than a hotfix, but mainly focused on some polish after more users got their hands on the v0.8 along with the updated Image library. From the community support, v0.8 looks to...
I’ve been posting updates for months (three or four). Being self hosted, it’s easy to miss updates and as things were indubitably new to me, I was manually checking by doing pulls on everything I host and I was excited to contribute to the community in my little way. In that time, people had on occasion thanked me for my effort, especially in regards to the Zigbee2MQTT updates. I even managed to alert people one time that an update to Docker broke home assistant and every time, I was happy I could do something to help people, even though it’s such a small thing. Bear in mind, these updates had an upvote rate of ~91% and ~60 votes. I went back and checked, because I’m a saddo. This is my first time having someone complain and normally I’d swear and stand my ground, but instead I’m just like frig it. Let them have it how they want. Gone are the times when this community wasn’t seeing any new posts and I wanted to try and keep this community feeling alive. I’m glad the community has grown to such a point that my contributions are unnecessary.
Hey man, keep it up, just put a description of what the app is with the update.
I personally clicked in just to see what the hell it was. I mean this one is useless to me, but maybe something else you’re using is not. So a description in the title of what it does would be helpful, then I can go “Oooh a new thing to play with” when I scroll past it.
Anecdotally, a couple months ago, someone posted the latest image release, without comment, because back then people weren’t pretending to be illiterate. But there was a change to postgres that broke shit. A month or so later, someone posted saying that their Immich had stopped working and I was able to assist them because I had clicked through the link and read the changes at the time. I was really proud to be able to give back to the community in the same way so many others had helped me. Oh well!
Nobody is saying you’re not helpful. Actually, nobody is going back through your history to even see if you’re helpful.
All people are saying is, in the future, post a brief description of the app you’re linking.
Don’t take all these comments so personally pal, chin up. Just walk away and forget about it until you next post, and when you doz drop a quick description of the app you’re linking the change log for. That way people will have to find something else to moan about instead.
You can’t please everyone, there’s far too many of us, so please yourself.
You’re right, I did take it really personally and I shouldn’t have. Personally, I find release postings and release discussions interesting. I also think posting descriptions is performative. It’s not just performative though, it’s time consuming. They say people that don’t do, teach. Well now those teachers will have to step up and do, lead from the front as it were. If the community benefits, then everyone wins.
