  • @Madchatthew I got something similar from Vodafone. As tempting as the early upgrade is, it’s also VERY expensive. I will abstain.

    @phenomlab Yeah the new phone isn’t cheap. My phone was a S23 Ultra and it isn’t costing me anything to trade up so it is free for me. My wife has an S22 Ultra so it costs a little bit for her, but they are still giving a $1000 credit for it. We could have just kept them until end of life and then went with the nothing phone or something similiar. What can I say, I am a sucker for Samsung Galaxy phones. Let the shaming being hahaha

    So the new phones arrived yesterday. I got them setup which was a breeze. I was actually impressed. The only thing that pissed me off about it was that after the transfer from the old phone to the new phone, is that all of the saved data from the games I play wasn’t transferred over. Some of them have cloud storage built into the game, but a couple of the games I play don’t have that and I was really far into the game. Well, that data did not copy over and wouldn’t. So I guess I am done playing those games, because I’m not starting over. So that was the only thing that didn’t work.

    Otherwise the phone seems to be working great. It doesn’t have the rounded edges like the old one, which I actually like better. It isn’t quite as tall as the old one, but it seems like there is more screen area. It runs very smooth as well and fast. I haven’t gotten into the AI part of it yet, so once I start playing with that and seeing what it’s capabilities are and if it is actually helpful, I will let you know.

    @Madchatthew Good summary. Pity about the game though. You’d have thought they would have copied over.

    @phenomlab Yeah I agree. Then I went to go play it and all the progress is gone. Not sure why all of that data wouldn’t have transferred over. I told it to transfer all as well. So a little deceiving there, cause it actually doesn’t do all. I was quite disappointed.

    @phenomlab I used the cable to connect the two phones and used smart switch to do the transfer

    @Madchatthew crazy it doesn’t work as it should. I see no real reason as to why it didn’t copy over unless the storage was perhaps encrypted?

    @phenomlab that is possible but I never specifically told it to be encyrpted, but maybe through the apps themselves? I thought it was really weird that it didn’t copy the entirety of the apps over.

    @Madchatthew it’s the only explanation I have aside from configuration.

    @phenomlab yeah and that makes sense. I wish I would have noticed it before i wiped the old phone and packaged it up to send back. Then I could have tried a different method for transferring the data. Oh well, ya live and ya learn I guess 🙂

    My daughter needed a new tablet, which was an older Samsung. My wife wanted to get her an Ipad. Fortunately, I was able to talk her out of that and show her how much better an android tablet would be. Preferably the Samsung S9 Ultra tablet. By the way, that thing is outstanding! Great purchase!

    @crazycells hi - no security reason, or anything specific in this case. However, the nginx.conf I posted was from my Dev environment which uses this port as a way of not interfering with production. And yes, I use clustering on this site with three instances.

    @phenomlab Seems to be better with some scaling fix for redis on redis.conf. I haven’t seen the message yet since the changes I made # I increase it to the value of /proc/sys/net/core/somaxconn tcp-backlog 4096 # I'm uncommenting because it can slow down Redis. Uncommented by default !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #save 900 1 #save 300 10 #save 60 10000 If you have other Redis optimizations. I take all your advice https://severalnines.com/blog/performance-tuning-redis/

    @phenomlab I find the problem Mark The error message indicated this path : http://localhost:4567/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/styles.css?v=6983dobg16u I change the path url on config.json [image: 47bacc80-f141-41e4-a261-3f8d650cc6f6-image.png] And all it’s good Weird, I didn’t have to change that path before 1.19.3 But this does not prevent the problem from a clean install with Emoji Plugin EDIT: After test, that resolv the problem installation for 1.18.x but not for 1.19.x (I have other error message when I run ./nodebb Setup For resume: NodeJS 16_x with 1.18.x is ok
