This is the ChatGPT prompt I used to be guided

Guide me through installing NodeBB using Termux

(This took some time and patience to troubleshoot errors and implement workaround)

pkg update && pkg upgrade -y

pkg install proot-distro git curl wget nano -y

proot-distro install debian

proot-distro login debian

apt update && apt upgrade -y

apt install -y curl git build-essential ca-certificates gnupg

apt update
apt install -y imagemagick

apt install -y redis-server

redis-server --daemonize yes

redis-cli ping

mkdir -p /opt

git clone https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB.git /opt/nodebb

cd /opt/nodebb

./nodebb setup

warn: NodeBB Setup Aborted.
 Error: Could not load the "sharp" module using the android-arm64 runtime
Possible solutions:
- Manually install libvips >= 8.18.3

Force node to report platform as linux to get sharp to install

curl -LO https://nodejs.org/dist/v22.23.1/node-v22.23.1-linux-arm64.tar.xz

tar -xJf node-v22.23.1-linux-arm64.tar.xz

mv node-v22.23.1-linux-arm64 /usr/local/node

export PATH="/usr/local/node/bin:$PATH"

rm -rf node_modules
rm -f package-lock.json

npm install

Restart nodebb setup

./nodebb setup

defaults but database as redis

./nodebb start
./nodebb status

This forum is temporarily unavailable due to excessive load.

The uptime command is apparently reporting the Android/Termux host load, while /proc/loadavg inside the Debian proot environment reports a much lower load.

Fix for testing on termux purposes

nano config.json
"max_load": 999

Mental health matters

By
It is 547am and I have decided to write. I have been living with a mental health diagnosis for more than 23 years. I am differently abled. Mental illness sometimes presents itself as a non-visible disability. A person with mental illness may look and function normally. Added to that we do not get to see the struggles happening internally. After 23 years I could say that I have much experience with my condition and may be able to offer words that may help others. There is plenty of stigma associated with mental illness. People think that the mentally ill are bad people, weak, or somehow less deserving of dignity and the treatment of the illness sometimes feels like punishment and is dehumanizing at times. There is plenty of good intentions and well meaning as well (do not get me wrong) but things could be better. And it happens at the highest level. A leader once said, "Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad." As the saying goes, who knows it feels it. I started a pr...

Motivation

By
It is 150pm and I have decided to write. I have no topic to start but I feel like writing. While trying to decide what to write I saw this question that had my interest, what motivates you to keep going even when life is difficult? The first thing that popped in my mind was God. But I do not think the answer is simple or singular. I also think I need to put some thought into this. Also what is the relationship between motivation and discipline? Motivation is easy but discipline is hard. I think for me motivation comes from the joy of success. But God was my first answer. Now that God is the focus of my life, the joy of success becomes being a success in the eyes of God. But I said the answer was not singular. So different things motivate us at different times but they all lead to wanting to succeed. This reminds me of the Muslim call to prayer that says come to success. If motivation is what calls you then success calls you and success gives you joy. My friend Chatty says that what I h...
