Just rechecked the structure with the following result:

Update solved:
Just ran the command, as described in the 2026.01 release description:bin/composer.phar run install:prod
Apparently that did the job:
Este es Friendica, version 2026.01 ejecutándose en ubicación respective.domain. Versión de la BD es 1576/1586, la versión después de actualización es 1550/1550.

@…ᘛ⁐̤ᕐᐷ jesuisatire bitPickup Yes, you need to let composer reinstall vendor as new/updated packages might be used by newer code.
I put all required commands into a deploy.sh script to just only execute that script, then I won't miss any commands to run.
Mine is here BTW:

I cannot agree more! “Why we should look beyond grades to spot potential in STEM”
That was a very good article.
My best friend growing up had poor grades due to some very traumatic things that happened to her as a kid and teen.
When she applied to college, she was denied entry due to her GPA.
She did eventually go to a different school and get a degree as an adult, but I remember thinking how unfair it was not to take all of the non-academic stuff she was dealing with into account the first time she applied.
I’m so glad this is changing.
My wife is currently a Senior Principal Test Engineer at a startup semiconductor company. She's chaired conferences in her discipline. She's taken chips from a piece of paper to tens of millions of units shipped a year.
Today she wouldn't even get a single call for a job interview. She's terrified of getting a masters degree because her GPA was 2.7. GPAs dont mean shit.

She rode through London in a coach pulled by eight white bulls, wore dresses that scandalized Samuel Pepys into near-incoherence, and published critiques of both Hobbes and Descartes. She also wrote science fiction 152 years before *Frankenstein*. Her name was Margaret Cavendish — the woman who kept writing the future while her century tried to close the door.

in reply to Eugen Rochko • • •You place that cutoff remarkably late. Otherwise, who do you expect to argue? I won’t
Money is the reason. Movies have become investment vehicles, and investors want safety. Thus aiming for the biggest audiences, and most people want slop. Not just the looks, the storylines, characters, anything, aren’t much better.
Am I too cynical? Think not

in reply to Eugen Rochko • • •Gaming went through a similar pallet in the early 2000s. I’m glad that passed.
And I know how you feel. It may be part of why I like animation so much, it hasn’t been hit so hard with browning. It’s so great when a movie has colors that really pop.
Yeah a movie about a guy trapped in the middle of the Sahar or Death Valley is going to be low on color. NY, LA, Minneapolis, other real cities have colors.

in reply to Eugen Rochko • • •nothing to argue here. The movie industry right now is a noob photographer who thinks "great, with that dynamic range I don't even have to expose correctly anymore". And that's what they are literally doing.
When has "I don't know if this scene will be in daylight or night time right now, let's shoot anyway and fix it in post" became a thing?

in reply to Eugen Rochko • • •Die Film-Industrie ist aber auch immer ein Spiegel der Gesellschaft. Seit einigen Jahren gibt es kaum mehr Komödien.
Die Filme sind sehr häufig düster, dunkel, dystopisch und auch immer wieder so seicht, dass das Meditieren einer Schnittblume fast schon als spannend bezeichnet werden kann.
Ja, die Krisen, Kriege, Konflikte machen etwas mit den Menschen - dies sehen wir heute auf den Leinwänden. Leider!
Als Gesellschaft müsste uns dies zu denken geben.

in reply to Eugen Rochko • • •I agree with you that this trend exists and is swallowing up lots of movies, but there is some relief in the wide-ranging supply. I went looking just for a still from "Sinners", which I think is a fine example against that trend, but I found a dozen more to boot.

That said, there are plenty of beautiful looking movies made today too, just not the norm.

You don't like the aesthetic, but unfair to imply it's 'unprofessional'.
Maybe you need to look elsewhere besides Hollywood. Digital production and distribution has opened up filmmaking to so many talents that couldn't afford it previously. Drama aside, nature photography and documentary can be better quality now.
The most interesting drama I've seen is no-budget Japanese films. "One Cut of the Dead", "River", "Beyond the Infinite 2 mins".
