Yes. “I was pro-defendant before the end of the first paragraph.” = “I agreed with this position before the end of the first section of words”

Without something to negate that statement, the statement’s meaning is exactly what it says.

I was pro-defendant before the end of the first paragraph. Someone suing someone else for ‘stealing’ their ‘minimalist aesthetic’ deserves to lose and get a lesson from the ol’ clue by four.

But the phone version of the site is so stripped down and babby friendly to the point of unusability. My favorite are the sites that don’t give you the function you need on the mobile site, but don’t let you switch to the desktop view.

If your comment ever starts with “are you saying”, the answer is no.

And also

Are these users spending their off time sampling lead paint chips? It took me less than 5 minutes to cancel my subscription when I decided I needed to save money last month.

Man, I love how people give no agency to companies like this. Mainly because it shows they’re entirely ignorant of the state of the world outside of their very limited knowledge and incorrect beliefs about it.

Probably just a hold over from when I was first learning. Had issues with a couple services not actually updating without it, so I just do it to be absolutely sure. Also, I only ever run one app per compose, so that forces a “reboot” of the whole stack when I update.

The Inquisition tends to have the most interesting story lines in my experience.

But rebuilding your container is pretty trivial from the command line all said and done. I have something like this alias’d in my .bashrc to smooth it along:

Docker compose pull; docker compose down; docker compose up -d

I regularly check on my systems and go through my docker dirs and run my alias to update everything fairly simply. Add in periodic schedule image cleanups and it has been humming along for a couple years for the most part (aside from one odd software issues and hardware failures).

How often are there issues with dependencies? Is that a problem with a lot of software these days?

I started using docker 3-4 years ago specifically because I kept having issues with dependencies of one app breaking others, but I also tend to run a lot of services per VM. Honestly, the overhead of container management is infinitely preferable to the overhead that comes with managing OS level stuff. But I’m also not a Linux expert, so take that for what you will.

I’ve been building a media collection for over a decade and a half at this point. I have a bit of the original stuff, mainly music, from back then but I lost most of my collection a couple of times to drive crashes before I understood what backups were.

I bet the kids feel lied to, so probably decepticons

So I really wanted to thank you, but than my inner clown took over

Lol

Less than the value unions provide

Lol, is Netflix any of my customers who thought moving to public cloud services was a good idea?

I would ask why customers are so dumb about how much public cloud offerings cost, but I know it’s a combination of 1) seemingly low prices up front, 2) bean counters that aren’t able to accurately cost forecast long term, and 3) a fundamental understanding of just how much compute they actually need. It’s absolutely stupid how many customers we have that are having to pull back on services because some genius thought moving to azure was a good financial move only to find out 6-8mo later that they’ve spent this year’s budget already.

In outcome, sure. But there’s a very big difference in the meaning behind the story.

Configuration by config file is preferred but not mandatory for me, but a docker image is mandatory for me to even try the app anymore. And the ability to backup and restore state is key, preferably in such a way that I can write my backup to a mounted smb share rather than writing locally and copying to the network.

I’m running everything on commodity or 2nd hand gear, so failures aren’t unheard of. I had one of my micro PCs cook itself this year, and the majority of my services on that box fit that mold (mostly), so I got them back up pretty quick. Though, I did run into issues with container backups not working (because they write the backup like a database, so it has to be a local write for a db lock) and had to start from scratch .

Minecraft, satisfactory, factorio are ones that come to mind that keep me up too late as an adult. The TES games are ones I remember from my childhood. Morrowind was my jam back in the day, as was NWN.

Need to make sure they only stay in first floor locations or places without windows. Whistle blowers gonna be pushed out of windows just like Daddy Vladdy likes.

I assume that grok did that, just because that’s on brand
