We already have that, the first problem is we have like a dozen of them, a few are even well supported. The second problem is that usually the technical knowledge required to set up the systems are still lower than the technical knowledge required to keep it running.
Fucking podman… Oh man. I have lost way too many hours dealing with podman.
It’s frustrating, because they’ve put so much into it. It’s close enough that vendors think they can get away with saying their containers are compatible and they’ve probably really honestly tested for brief periods and it really usually is close enough that you don’t discover the differences until you’re already very well established, but then it’s just a little different and it takes you FOREVER to find out why but then the only option once you do find that out is to completely start over from scratch with docker. And, almost no vendor is going to treat them differently because if we talk to redhat, the first note we’ll get back is that everything we’re trying to do should be fully compatible and there should be no need to worry about that. And, then eventually after a few weeks, it’s docker’s fault that IT WORKS IN DOCKER AND NOT IN PODMAN. Docker needs to go fix it so it’s broken for them too, it’s not a bug for podman, the problem is with the one that’s working.
I’m a bit traumatized, not always the same, but this isn’t a singular occurrence.
I’ll thank them when they stop remaking perfectly fine utilities over minor issues then doing a shitty job with compatibility.
An adult man wandering around a playground with no kids of his own, they can find some reasons to do something at a certain point.
I still get weird looks sporadically taking my daughter to the park.
He said something negative about China at one point, it was bound to happen.
I’m already mostly on his side, but well thought out.
Sounds like you’re talking about a bltouch or a clone, they were in the market super early, I think they were one of the first.
There are more options out there now, but most do work on the same concept.
It’s almost definitely a pain in the ass, but you can probably add self leveling to your existing printer.
The talk around weight loss is kinda crazy and a lot of it is dominated by pseudoscience.
However, we are pretty much positive that eating at a calorie deficit will result in weight loss in 99.9% of cases and you aren’t going to be the 0.1%. There’s a lot of anecdotal data about how eating too little will make you stop losing weight or even gain more weight because of your ‘metabolism’, but no controlled studies that show that to be a significant contributor without other causes. It’s not some magical metabolism trick, you’re just cheating on your metrics and doing less because you’re tired and cranky and have no energy because you aren’t eating right.
Saying that, eating at a massive deficit can definitely make you feel like shit and will make it hard to exercise, do not recommend. You will also likely have a part of your brain dedicated to fantasizing about food 24/7 and your libido will likely be in the trash if that matters to you. This will be very hard to maintain, and you have to remember that there’s never going to be a day where you can go back to eating like ‘normal’. Your current normal is why you need to lose weight and your goal is to eventually establish a new baseline.
Lastly, highly recommend against adding calories back due to exercise. We don’t have a lot of good data about there being any reliable indicators of actual calories burned available to the average person and you’ll find a tremendous amount of super variable answers when you find instances where people tried to actually test the estimates you see online. The time you put into exercise isn’t about weight loss, it will help, but it’s a bonus just for you because you deserve to have the body that you want.
I know this won’t work for everyone, but I just quit playing games that don’t work or even from publishers that do shitty things and there’s still plenty of games out there. There’s a lot of shovelware out there, but there’s also a lot of good stuff out there.
Terrorism has to be violent and induce ‘terror’ by definition.
I mean shit, I know we could search it, but how could you not link us to that. We need that.
I’m not gonna dox myself, but my company is definitely not a smaller firm, whatever country you’re in, good chance we at least have a presence. Our drive to eliminate Oracle dependence extends to just… not doing whatever that was at all anymore. We’re not there yet and it’s going to take even more years, but I’ve heard the same from quite a few others at similarly large companies.
You’re right that Oracle is in a real good place technically in a lot of ways, but people are very very motivated to see them fail and that drive has even spread outside of the IT sphere.
A lot of companies have been making it a goal to move away from Oracle as a whole. The Java enterprise licensing thing from a few years back rubbed every company in the world the wrong way, their rep is permanently trashed.
Oh god, please replace it faster.
I am so tired of all the random shit that only RedHat does because RedHat had a minor issue with something that they blew completely out of the water and decided to fix by just making a brand new thing that only they use, and it’s kinda compatible with whatever it replaced, but no, not in these hundred different specific ways that will definitely come up every time you need it to do something, but will work just long enough to make you think whatever you’re doing might be feasible.
I would love to never look at RedHat again.
It’s always felt like the world’s fanciest microtransaction fueled cell phone app to me but just on a PC. There is something there, but it’s not what the ads make it look like and you’ll have to pay a lot to even get close.
I had an opportunity to play with one for 10 minutes or so once, and my exposure was super limited, but it didn’t immediately feel like it was better than options that were only a few hundred bucks all in.
Could show increasing value long term maybe and I wouldn’t say it’s a bad product but I couldn’t see enough to justify getting one with the other cheaper and potentially better options out there.
I see where your head is at here, but it sounds like you’re focusing on containerized items. A lot of people are going to look at you real weird if you think of scaling down a container as equivalent to shutting down a server. We can all see where your mind is going and there is logic there, but it’s more akin to closing chrome when you’re not using it than it is to shutting down the computer running chrome.
Have you looked into specialized AI chips/accelerators at all if you really want to mess with it?
Way lower end than what you’re working with, but they have AI accelerator kits for something as small as a Raspberry Pi.
I do feel like we may have hit a time where the groups classifying CVEs are a bit desperate for numbers. It’s really hard to tell the legitimate ones from the ones where it’s like “If you had tiny gremlins with soldering irons living inside your PC, its possible they might be able to determine what year your computer thinks it is. The gremlins are assumed to have full domain admin access”.
It sounds like you’re getting into the keeping it running phase.
First, going back to your previous comment, self-hosting email is difficult. It’s not hard for a small provider to end up blacklisted and you’re probably kind of just done at that point and it will feel very unfair. I get that it’s a fun set of technical challenges, but you couldn’t pay me enough to help someone self-host email.
Second, guessing, but it sounds like you may be trying to expose your services directly and doing a lot to make that work which goes against what most would recommend for hosting your own services. Big companies don’t expose their intranet like that, follow their example. Almost every guide or system is going to warn against that. If you’re going to host more than one thing, highly recommend focusing on minimizing entry points and looking into a VPN-like solution for accessing most if not all of your services. Still spend time on securing your intranet, but most of your risk is going to come from how hard it is for people to get past the front door (or doors).
