Today I finally bit the bullet and upgraded my home server from Ubuntu 25.04 to 25.10.

But, what’s special about it? Well, I’m running a rolling release of Armbian arm64 on it, which doesn’t exactly support running do-release-upgrade by yourself. The process involved:

1. Backing up the root partition by booting from an SD card first and dd‘ing the partition’s contents via pzstd and ssh to my desktop machine, just in case I needed to roll back (like in the previous attempt).

I’m playing with Hugo as a way to build my personal blog/web page.

This is my first post.
