You’ve doctored your first two points to avoid the fact that widespread corruption and crumbling infrastructure are in fact a feature of the USA. That said, obviously we are not a ‘third world’ country, nor a ‘developing or under-developed’ country. We are, instead in our own special category of fucked. We have an absolutely giant economy, but as we have decided politically to disinvest in all of our public sectors, either by privatization or under-funding, we are rapidly becoming dysfunctional. Add to that the huge global reclaiming of surplus value from workers wages to plutocrats profits, and we are, as is obvious, in a political crisis shared by the rest of the neoliberal democracies.

Everyone will be working multiple shitty service jobs that robots are not cost effective to automate. Our miserable wages will be just sufficient to keep the wheels on the cart from falling off.

Containers are very lightweight. I have no desire to build anything so I always just add another service container to my existing stacks.

Yeah is type 1. But it pools supports network storage and is free, and I know how to use it.

I run HA as a container in a vm. I back HA data up nightly and the compose script for running HA is archived on github. If the vm dies there is another vm that can bring it back up. If the host dies (I have a pool of xenserver (xcp-ng) hosts, so it would be a major domestic disaster if they all croaked) I have a fallback to run HA on docker on wsl. If the house burns down all the scripts are on GitHub and the backups get sent to Azure monthly. I think I’m covered.

Add in alertmanager and hook it to slack. Get notified whenever containers or systems are misbehaving.

Gitlab at least used to be the open source release of GitHub. I ran it in my lab for a while but stopped as I was using github anyway. It was easy to setup and maintain but it used a lot of resources. I ran it on a vm, there is likely a docker build as well.

Oligarchs funding a resurgence of fascism in order to protect the global system that is wrecking the environment, successfully it seems.

My only serious complaint with docker is the quality of their updates. They keep breaking stuff. If podman supported all docker functionality including compose based stacks, I’d consider switching, but last time I looked it didn’t.

Windows requires smb v2 or later. Smb 1 is hopelessly insecure.

You assume the op knows how to use more than one finger to type.

The integration of Docker for windows with wsl2 is an abomination that breaks just about every time I update either ddw or windows. Also the fact that it is tied to my user account ( both ddw and wsl2) means that it is not a great choice for persistent services. I still use it to provide monitoring agents for Prometheus and portainer, but otherwise everything runs on Linux vms on my homelab xenserver cluster.

It is possible to install docker without ddw. It’s documented for server versions of windows, but is basically only for running windows containers. The only use case for that is windows build agents as far as I can tell.

Docker can be installed standalone on wsl2 and would be more reliable.

Also I am just thrilled that so many here have encouraged you to view your awareness of just how shitty the system is as a mental illness, as a failure on your part to be correctly integrated into society. There is nothing wrong with you. What is wrong is the system itself.

Yes There Is! I am here to tell you that your fully alienated existence can be mediated by engaging in your commodification as part of the spectacle of end stage capitalism. Consume and Be Consumed!

Also illustrators for newspapers - as the tech for mechanical reproduction made it possible to put photographs into newspapers and magazines most of those jobs disappeared.

Iran is a fascist theocracy. There is no ‘consent of the people’ operative there. The theocrats kill enough people to stay in power.

I use bookstack. Simple selfhosted wiki.

Docker Desktop for windows (DDW) using wsl2 for hosting containers is very easy to get started with. It also integrates directly with visual studio code.

Long term you will likely want any useful container services hosted on a Linux vm rather than wsl, as wsl (and DDW) are tied to and start with your Windows user account.

What rights? Well for example the right to get the medical care you need. The right to take a goddamn piss in a public toilet. The right to participate in society as you are, rather than a how some fascist demagogue has determined you should be.

I’ll just guess you got shunned or worse criticized for expressing overt bigotry.
