This is the sort of resistance we need, no more ‘decorum’ to a fascist leader. He won’t respect international norms so he deserves the benefit of none himself.

Guess the cheque cleared

Fair enough… I admit I’m a bit of an old curmudgeon, set in my ways. :s

Aren’t you at all curious why it failed though? (If not, no harm no foul – I certainly know time diagnosing a bug is always in short supply, from personal experience). What if it’s a symptom of something important that might happen later even in Fedora 41?

Sometimes it just feels like containers are used as justification for devs to blow off bug reports. As a dev I want to understand why a failure occurs.

Agreed there – it’s good for onboarding devs and ensuring consistent build environment.

Once an app is ‘stable’ within a docker env, great – but running it outside of a container will inevitably reveal lots of subtle issues that might be worth fixing (assumptions become evident when one’s app encounters a different toolchain version, stdlib, or other libraries/APIs…). In this age of rapid development and deployment, perhaps most shops don’t care about that since containers enable one to ignore such things for a long time, if not forever…

But like I said, I know my viewpoint is a losing battle. I just wish it wasn’t used so much as a shortcut to deployment where good documentation of dependencies, configuration and testing in varied environments would be my preference.

And yes, I run a bare-metal ‘pet’ server so I deal with configuration that might otherwise be glossed over by containerized apps. Guess I’m just crazy but I like dealing with app config at one layer (host OS) rather than spread around within multiple containers.

Call me crusty, old-fart, unwilling to embrace change… but docker has always felt like a cop-out to me as a dev. Figure out what breaks and fix it so your app is more robust, stop being lazy.

I pretty much refuse to install any app which only ships as a docker install.

No need to reply to this, you don’t have to agree and I know the battle has been already lost. I don’t care. Hmmph.

Quislings.

Neat!

I’m old enough to remember the PXL2000, always wanted one but was too poor as a teenager. (Not the tech used in OP’s video link from what I can tell but reminded me of that device).

Can’t SIGTERM be observed to react to a poweroff?

Hmm, I will have to check that out. Thanks.

Anton Petrov (“Hello, Wonderful Person!”) is quite good IMO.

PBS Space Time and Eons (and as others have already said, Journey to the Microcosmos).

Kurzgesagt is fun and AFAIK always tries to be accurate (they’ve been quick to publish correction videos when necessary).

I’ll second other’s recommendation for CuriosityStream and Standup Maths. Matt’s also part of at least one good podcast, “A Podcast of Unnecessary Detail” which is informative and entertaining.

I put on my robe and wizard hat

No, I know that – I honestly want them both to die :p

Both have been a blight on software development for decades.

Can Oracle kill javascript as well, please? Please?

Recommend “Human Resource Machine” as well :)

I’ve spent the last 4 months living this. Thank you I hate it.

EDIT: Actually my entire career, but most painfully the last 4 months. I hate it. And, yet, I must eat, so I endure.

And people wonder why Snowden went outside of “whistleblower protection” avenues.

We all know such protections are useless if those exposed are powerful enough. Best to get it out beyond their control before they even know they have been outed.

Heh, ‘garbage language’ or ‘garbage-collected language’? Until Go I considered the two to be the same :)

But yeah… the tooling is a strong point IMO.

(Package management went downhill once the whole GOPROXY thing was introduced. When ‘go get’ was the simplest way to fetch packages, things were great IMHO … but I’m not doing big enterprise-y stuff so maybe my view is too narrow as to the issues of ‘vendoring’, version management etc.)
