Upgrading a Rails 3 app to the latest Rails 8.x

Posted by Jim Morris on 2026-01-20 17:37:59 +0000

I wrote the blog engine this blog is hosted on in 2009, that is 23 years ago as I write this.

Upgrading a Ubuntu Dapper 6.06 server to Lucid 10.06 with software RAID 1

I tried to do this over the network via ssh in a screen, however after it upgraded to Hardy it failed to boot.
