This was a new thing I came across this morning:
2 devices have a firmware upgrade available.
Run `fwupdmgr get-upgrades` for more information.
I’ve not seen that before so I had to figure out how to fix the issue. Turns out it’s pretty simple:
fwupdmgr get-upgrades
Shows the available upgrades
fwupdmgr update
Applies any updates.
The easy fix is to just remove everything in: /Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports/
I mean, it’s not like I’m going to look at it, anyway.

As much as I love Docker (even though I’m not brilliant with it) sometimes I just need a proper server. In this case I need a nice shiny WebDav server with the ability to show web pages too.
I’m using Ubuntu for this because, as much as I like Debian, I find Ubuntu just that little bit easier to work with. Except Snap. Snap can burn in hell. The rest of it is pretty nice though.
The plan is to use Nginx as the web /WebDav server and if I can configure it up the way I need and get it doing everything I want I can then get the UNIX team at work to build me one for the office. I can’t help but wonder if they can manage that.
I can never remember how to do this and the Ubuntu pages are, surprisingly, useless. So, for future reference:
In my case I’m using a small Dell OptiPlex 7070 Micro. So, to get into the BIOS it’s:
It should now be possible to boot from the USB stick.
When partitioning the disk don’t get confused between the USB stick filesystem and the PC filesystem. It’s pretty easy once you realise that the PC is NVME.
