In my experience you’re describing loneliness and perhaps depression. These are not easy things to overcome, but they are universal.

Our society is well equipped to deal with broken bones, much less than its ability to mend hearts and minds.

Walking and sunlight are relatively easy circuit breakers, talking might be a little harder to find, but asking here is a good start.

If you have the financial means or employer support, it can be extremely helpful to speak with a psychologist, but just like plumbers, there are bad ones, good ones and great ones, so don’t hesitate to try a few different people on for size.

Reacting in anger gets easier the more you do it, the same is true for reacting with grace, but you have to practise to get better at it. Take an extra breath before opening your mouth is one way to get started.

Finally, find fun, watch a flashmob or a funny song on YouTube, dance, be silly. It’s hard to be angry whilst you’re smiling.

Good luck.

For example?

So far the Wayland implementation requires embedded X11 which puts everything in the same environment again.

I’ve not yet discovered how to run separate Wayland screens across the network from a Docker container and I’m also not sure if either Chrome or Firefox actually support native Wayland, from memory they didn’t last time I checked.

I don’t know. When I built this, several years ago, none of that existed.

This is true.

However, I’m running trusted software, not the backyard efforts of someone randomly selected off the internet.

Additionally, the Docker container is running on a dedicated Debian virtual machine with only Docker installed.

What’s of deeper concern is that all instances are running on X11 which means that they all share information via the clipboard for example.

Here you go … it was given to me and now I’m giving it to you.

That’s precisely what I do.

Excluding Chrome, Firefox and Safari means that you are now relying on some random developer to understand security and privacy and as a software developer for over 40 years I can tell you that this is a fools errand.

Don’t get me wrong, the big three absolutely have privacy issues, but they can be mitigated in many different ways without compromising on security.

For example, you can force DNS requests to one of your choosing, you can run them in incognito mode, refuse cookies, run them inside user accounts without personal information, etc.

I tend to run individual instances of a browser in incognito mode and am very conscious of which tabs are open in which instance, so websites cannot steal information from other tabs.

As it happens, Lemmy is a person and if everything is as expected, they’re still where they were after their funeral service, at the Forest Lawn Memorial Park (Hollywood Hills).

They have like 20 employees and are a public benefit corporation with profit motives to benefit society rather than maximise shareholder value.

Just so we’re clear, Bluesky is federated just like this place. Twitter was the community square of the planet until Elmo bought it and brought his own kitchen sink because he thought he knew how to run Twitter. That same delusional individual is now advising the elected Orange in charge of the USA.

Whilst Twitter had its problems, they were nothing compared to the cesspool it is today.

Bluesky will no doubt go through growing pains, but I don’t see evidence of the same mistakes as you appear to be suggesting.

So, no, I don’t think that you’re portraying a realistic viewpoint, instead you’re fear mongering for no discernible reason, other than to discredit a platform that is evolving and flourishing.

If you’re going to ignore physics, you can decide specifically what the impact will be.

The most people live in the southern hemisphere, India and China. August is winter here.

Radio waves are the same as light, so if radio stopped working the way you envisage, light would too.

Electricity, electronics and electrons are deeply connected with radio waves, so anything electronic would likely cease to function.

Any flying plane with fly by wire would likely crash, traditional linkage type planes would need to land because their engines would cease to operate.

Helicopters would probably auto rotate to an immediate landing.

People would likely starve pretty rapidly, since society is built around electricity.

The phenomenon most like what you describe is called an EMP, Electro Magnetic Pulse.

For every item in that drawer, ask yourself: “When was the last time I used this?”

If it’s more than a year ago, it’s not in the right place.

If it’s less than a year ago, it’s also not in the right place.

Ditto

Funny you should ask. Simone Giertz has a whole project specifically for solving this problem.

Yes. It’s a single board computer. Like 400 others. What makes this one special, worthy of attention? In other words, why should I care?

Why should we care?

A Docker container is essentially a process running on your machine. Just like any other process. It can be idle, stopped or hogging the CPU. You can use Docker constraints to limit resource use if you want to, memory, CPU and network to name a few.

So, can you run 40 processes?

Very likely. Probably 400 or 4000, depending on CPU usage and memory.

I ran that particular CPU with 64 GB of RAM and used it to run multiple virtual machines, my main debian desktop and a VM specifically as a docker host, running dozens of instances of Google Chrome without ever noticing it slowing down.

Then the power cable shortened out and life was never the same. That was six months ago, the machine was a late 2015 iMac running macos and VMware Fusion.

Consider the machine being on 24/7 and cooling.

Furthermore, depending on the current power supply, you might need to upgrade it to keep everything running.
