Update shipped: v1.6.323 — Tom AI accuracy + a quick heads-up about a new prompt
Posted by tomspark
Pushed v1.6.323. What's in it: - Tom AI got noticeably more accurate. It was giving a few wrong answers — pointing people to the wrong backups folder, and its internal knowledge was missing my recent fixes and occasionally mixing up two different issues. All fixed. It now knows about every recent release and answers straight. - A behind-the-scenes cleanup: the test suite that guards the risky code (backups, updates) now actually runs on every change, and a media folder-check script that was giving false 'missing folder' warnings is fixed. Heads-up on one new thing you'll SEE: after updating, you'll get a one-time 'Help make SparkBox better?' pop-up. It's optional. If you say yes, your box sends me ANONYMOUS health info — which apps are running and whether they're healthy, your version, and the TYPES of errors that happen. That's it. It never sends your files, photos, passwords, IP, or anything personal, ever. Why I'm asking: right now when something breaks I often only hear about it from one person and can't reproduce it. This lets me see 'okay, 40 boxes are hitting this' and fix it fast — including on your box. Totally your call, and you can change it any time in Settings. To update: dashboard Settings - Updates, or sudo sparkbox upgrade. As always, post here if anything looks off.

I still get errors trying to update from the dashboard, not sure if that's a bug or maybe just me? I'm on v1.6.321

Not a big deal — update glitches happen sometimes and the box stays stable even when the update button throws an error. Can you paste what you're seeing in the Updates tab? If you want to get updated now, try over SSH: sudo sparkbox upgrade — that bypasses the dashboard UI and updates directly.

[helper] error: install.sh signature missing from release server - refusing to execute install.sh I've been having to go back and update how I've been which is running: curl -sSL https://get.tomsparkbox.com/install.sh | sudo bash

The curl command you're using is completely safe — it's our official installer from the same server, just run directly. Your box is on the latest version so you haven't missed anything. I'm looking into why the update button is tripping on that signature check for you; in the meantime keep using the curl approach and it'll keep working. Thanks for flagging it!

Of course! just trying to give you feedback and bring stuff to your attention, i really enjoy Sparkbox! I was having issues getting media with qbit and then i got a few recommendations to use Usenet and to my surprise Sparkbox already had it so all i had to do was finish the SABnzbd wizard and it was up and running in 15 minutes! Keep up the good work!

That's great to hear — and nice move on Usenet, it's a lot smoother once it clicks. The signature check issue is on the list too. Thanks for flagging both!
