Your SparkBox week — Aug 15
Posted by tomspark
Here's what shipped to every SparkBox this week — if your box is up to date, you already have all of it: • The My Ship card is redesigned like a collectible trading card: a gold or steel frame by tier, your call sign on the nameplate, star rank, set and serial marks over the art, and a stats bar headlined by your Fleet number with the hull printed as '067 / 140' against the live production run. Same card on both dashboards. • WordPress and Ghost now create their own unique database login for each box when installed, and existing installs are moved onto theirs automatically on the next update. • The support knowledge base's name filter now recognizes lookalike Unicode spellings, so it can't be slipped past with character substitutions. • New app: Unpackerr — multi-part RAR torrent releases now extract automatically, so Sonarr/Radarr imports stop failing on them. • New app: CoolerControl — fan curves and thermal control for mini-PCs and custom-cooled GPUs that overheat under AI or transcoding load. • New app: WordPress — your own blog or website with its own database, set up in the classic 5-minute wizard. • New app: Ghost — a lean modern blog and newsletter platform, with its own database. • New app: Stable Diffusion — local AI image generation (AUTOMATIC1111). NVIDIA boxes get GPU pass-through automatically via the system GPU setting. 📣 Shoutouts this week: ABOhiccups, EineBeBoP, noobmaster, GipoidJr, xionide and AvantMagus — these fixes exist because you spoke up.
