I had no idea!

Wonder if any of that stuff will make it upstream and if not if there’s good reason?

It’s sad, remember when terrorism meant flying a 747 into a sky scraper?

Nowadays whenever I see it in the headlines I just assume someone pissed off the wrong cop.

This is a classic conundrum.

Containers and their volumes are supposed to be ephemeral (right?).

Yet we use them to run little apps where we configure settings etc in the app which we would like to “keep” - thus back up. Yes in a proper set up you would hook your container up to something that is not ephemeral like a database somewhere, but often we just want an app, see it’s got a self contained docker image, and just run it.

Whilst not in the spirit of things… I’ve tried using Borg backup however it just fails due to random permissions on the volumes.

I should spend more time looking into it but haven’t the time right now, could be the solution is specific to the app/container but the simplicity of just backing up a /volumes/* directory is soooo tempting…

Edit upon reflection, what about a sudo cron tab to zip volumes and set useful permissions on the zip. Then Borg to backup the zip. Borg (or at least vorta) can easily run scripts before/after and pass variables relating to the backup though.

How does the image scanning compare to docker scout? (Or whatever the docket desktop one is called).

For those also wondering (and I’m quoting a comment on Ars so may stand corrected…):

Isn’t this a violation of the Geneva Conventions?

Only if used to deliberately target infantry. The videoed operations so far seem to have been intended to burn away protective cover (trees/brush), which is a permitted use even if there’s a risk of inflicting casualties as a side effect of the application of incendiaries.

Double upvote

Agree they’ve being easing their way in for a while. My point was specifically about advertising within the content itself which would be a new line crossed.

Edit: actually yes they did do this with Apple News didn’t they! (Which is why I stopped paying for it).

Content advertising isn’t “on brand” for Apple, so this would be a bold move.

They go into a massive Lego box then whenever someone in the office needs a brick they trawl through the box with both hands to find the exact piece they need.

As is tradition.

I’m so glad you posted this - my integrated fridge door has dropped slightly after being taken off and put back on when installed. Can’t really screw back into mdf/chipboard/whatever and I’ve been stressing about getting it fixed for months because whilst it’ll get worse over time, it technically works and no doubt the fitter would say I need to take the whole thing out and replace the side panel.

Thank you!

This is the worst with local host too

That thumbnail tho 🤤

Finally a proper vertical tabs option!

Personal preference ofc but after trying it on a whim I can’t go back.

I’ve had some luck with Ubuntu, I’ve made my “notes” public in case it’s of use to you!

I’d started with bootcamp (windows) to add another bootloader option then went from there. Most of my docs go from there.

You ever get the webcam working? I’ve tried the patjak stuff and can get the device detected but alas no /dev/video

I managed to get it working under Ubuntu following this trail https://github.com/Dunedan/mbp-2016-linux#intel

Blacklisting the amd GPU caused Linux not to boot however…

What’s the plan for hosting?

Docker too obvious?
