Portainer was a great start into docker, but it’s so much easier and better to just use compose and cli. Lazydocker if you really want point and click.
I still have my old install running on my homebrew NAS, but all it’s doing is running plex and a Minecraft server. I need to rebuild, at which point it goes.
Sorry portainer, I appreciate the start, but I’ve got it from here…
Barely counts but my former roommate dated a girl who was trying to break in. She danced and stripped, and had her own website. I never looked though, wasn’t the type I cared to see naked…
It’s not super specific, and makes sense for where I saw it, but I’ll never forget the Wisconsin tourist trap I drove past as a kid that has a big sign out front advertising “Cameras, Cheese and Guns”.
Naturally…
There’s a movie here somewhere. Something where they both repeatedly die through more and more ridiculous means. Just lean into the fan service, we’ll come…
I’ll second bazzite. I have it on an old laptop as the family machine, so it’s kid approved. I don’t personally love it, but I have nothing bad to say about it, I’m just a greybeard who prefers my boring LMDE.
So, it’s one of my go-to suggestions for a good, daily drive-able step into Linux. I like that the immutability makes it easier to recover, for when they inevitably call me for tech support (haven’t had to rely on it much yet, but that’s the theory anyway).
Mine has turned every conversation into a political fight and now refuses to speak with me unless I agree with their prejudices and medical quackery.
I miss my Nokia 8210. I had a case for it that slid open like the one at the start of the matrix. Dropped it in a puddle one night, pulled it out the next morning, dried it off and it kept working just fine. Had no waterproof rating.
I waded into a pool with my supposedly waterproof iPhone in my pocket by accident and it immediately died.
Allen Pan still puts out something amusing once in a while.
I miss the days of 3 minutes of insanity. Now every video is 25 minutes, and it’s all personality driven. It’s turned into regular TV.
We need a classic YouTube type site back again where people share shit for the fun of sharing. Monetization killed the platform.
I don’t know, I think the destructive potential makes up for any lack of imagination. StyroPyro is hands down my favorite YouTuber.
Man what an incredible trip that channel was.
Back in the day there was a whole slew of crackpots (in the best way). There was another who took the washing machine crown from PhotonicInduction, went by the name Aussie50. Used to love his content but he very sadly passed away quite some time ago (I won’t go into details out of respect).
These days the crazy backyard scientist vibe on YouTube has nearly dried up. So glad we still have StyroPyro.
I mean, mine is a dumpster dive. It’s an old small form factor office pc. Tore out the guts and stuck them in a silver stone case with a SATA backplane and loaded it up with refurb hard drives.
Previous iteration was a broken g5 tower case I got for free, hacked with an old server motherboard that had been decommissioned at work.
So, definitely spent money on it with the additions, but all my home servers have started out with free spare parts.
Oh, I do of course run Debian.
Best music discovery I’ve had was a thread on the something awful forums maybe 2 decades ago. People would post their favorites or ones they wanted similar artists to, and folks would chime in with suggestions. I discovered so much music in that thread, stuff that has become my core favorites. I learned about Chromeo in that thread (back when Needy Girl was new) and they have been in my top 5 or 10 ever since.
I do enjoy the Apple Music suggestions, but finding new is so much slower and more hit or miss.
There should be a site for community driven music suggestions similar to that old thread. Especially nowadays when so much is independent and obscure.4
We are not facing skynet, but the techbros, media and government all want us to think so.
They did not “escape”, they were able to find security holes in pootly protected environments that they had access to. They performed the same security tests against live sites online, which also had security flaws. They did not spread, or escape, nor are they hiding on servers anywhere like in the movies. They simply performed a remote exploit after using a local one to get internet access.
These things are dangerous, but as a weapon in people’s hands. They still have off buttons, we still have all the control. But the narrative makes it feel like an inevitability, we’ve all watched too much sci-fi and aren’t using critical thinking skills.
Omg, I saw that episode when it was first broadcast. My buddy and I laughed so goddamned hard at that scene. Upvote for you!
I’m convinced this is deliberate. We are not facing a skynet situation, AI is not going rogue. This is shitty security during user initiated testing that they did not fully understand.
They want us to think that AGI is around the corner and so publicizing these hacks is doing that work in the uninformed public’s mind. I’ve had to explain to several people the reality of these attacks, but even now, watching the news, they are trying to scare us with made up stories of out of control AI.
I mean, can always rip them to flak as well if you are worried about quality. Even still, a good high bitrate mp3 sounds perfect to me so I still use it too.
Working on reorganizing my old music collection to try to de-apple. It’s a bigger pain in the ass than I expected, and I’m missing so much that I’ve added via subscription. Gotta do it though, I’m sick of paying subscriptions for everything.
I used to be a good tipper. I still am for genuine service, but the default “tip every transaction” has pissed me off enough that unless you personally handled my food, or performed a service for me, I instantly stab 0.
I was a a baseball game the other weekend, they had a self service kiosk for bottles of soda, a glorified vending machine. It had a default 18% tip added to the transaction that I had to drill into a menu to zero out. Fucking bonkers, not a human in sight, just a couple of sensors and a credit card terminal.
Tip culture has gotten way out of control since Covid, I’m refusing to participate anymore.
Pretty much. I’m a data hoarder, to a degree. My homebuilt, Ship of Theseus NAS is about 15 years old, and it contains data going back over 20. I save everything I produce.
I figure that one day, this data of mine will be fed into a system for future use, in the vein of how they construct people in the Star Trek Holodeck. So, I feel it’s up to me to curate that data, and be sure it’s accurate and reflects who I am.
These days it’s obvious that it will eventually be turned into training data for an LLM, but then at least, my data will have some structure and personality to it. Maybe someday a joke will be cracked for someone that came from a pattern I established. Probably not, but one can dream.
It’s personal preference. I grew up staring at green screens. I am at home pawing through config files, I like seeing things from the bottom up.
So, portainer was a nice easy button to ease my transition from VMs to containers, but just like VMWare, I started on the GUI, eventually moved to CLI.
