Missed opportunity to call it Muhummanoid

At some point when people ask about the Holocaust, we’re going to have to start asking “which one?”

For your use case, consider it to be a packaging format (like AppImage, Flatpak, Deb, RPM, etc.) that includes all the dependencies (including services, not just libraries) for the app in question.

Should I change this?

If it’s not broken don’t fix it.

Use Podman (my preferred - the SystemD approach is awesome), containerd, or Incus. Docker is a graveyard of half-finished pet projects that have no reason for existing. Podman has a Docker-compatible socket, so 100% of Docker tooling will work with it.

It does. I have it enabled and tested. “Client Device Isolation.” It’s enabled per SSID.

Ooh I like the idea of “no Internet.” I do trust all of those devices (open source), but they could still be pwned.

All this, and while you’re at it, Donate!

I’m not sure. I’m worried that we’re already in the feedback loop.

He’ll be in office for longer than 4 years if he gets elected. Much longer.

Vote, and tell people to Vote, no matter how certain his loss is.

It was random username that Crunchyroll generated for me. I liked the absurdity of it.

Noisy.

Probably less resource intensive: https://conduit.rs/.

He’s/his staff are actually doing a fairly good job. It’s hard to live up to Obama, and he’s not as loud as Trump. He hasn’t made huge progress, but he’s made some - and most of it’s “boring.” So yeah - I like Biden.

They are both senile. But take it from someone who lived under Robert Mugabe, senile dictators seem to live frustratingly long lives - even in the face of terminal illnesses. If the choice has to be between two seniles, take the one that doesn’t have dictator aspirations.

This has been a serious concern of mine. In the event that I prematurely die I have everything set up with automatic updates, so that hopefully my family can continue to use the self-hosted services without me.

Nextcloud will not stop shitting the bed. I’d give it a few months at most if I died, at which point my family would likely turn back to Google Drive.

I’m looking for a more reliable alternative, even if it’s not as feature-rich.

Don’t learn Docker, learn containers. Docker is merely one of the first runtimes, and a rather shit one at that (it’s a bunch of half-baked projects - container signing as one major example).

Learn Kubernetes, k3s is probably a good place to start. Docker-compose is simply a proprietary and poorly designed version of it. If you know Kubernetes, you’ll quickly be able to pick up docker-compose if you ever need to.

You can use buildah bud (part of the Podman ecosystem) to build containerfiles (exactly the same thing as dockerfiles without the trademark). Buildah can also be used without containerfiles (your containerfiles simply becomes a script in the language of your choice - e.g. bash), which is far more versatile. Speaking of Podman, if you want to keep things really simple you can manually create a bunch of containers in a pod and then ask Podman to create a set of systemd units for you. Podman supports nearly all of what docker does (with exception to docker’s bjorked signing) and has identical command line syntax. Podman can also host a docker-compatible socket if you need to use it with something that really wants docker.

I’m personally a big fan of Podman, but I’m also a fan of anything that isn’t Docker: LXD is another popular runtime, and containerd is (IIRC) the runtime underpinning docker. There’s also firecracker or kubevirt, which go full circle and let you manage tiny VMs like containers.

Products for stupid people

I stopped agreeing with that after they added 5 finger gestures.
