Did they haul out a nativity scene? Go to church? No? Then it was a cultural celebration, not a religious one. Nothing hypocritical about that.

Might be a good time to remember that Christmas has adopted many pagan traditions.

The dead give away is the warm smile. Trump never smiles, at least not in a phoney way.

I guess it depends what you run, and how the projects/containers are configured to handle updates and "breaking changes" in particular.

But also, I'm being a bit broad with the term "breaking changes". Other kinds of "breaking changes" that aren't strictly crashing the software, but that still cause work include projects that demand a manual database migration before being operational, a config change, or just a UI change that will confuse a user.

The point is, a lot of projects demand user attention which completely eclipses the effort required to execute a docker update.

Are you updating 1000's of stacks every week? I update a couple critical things maybe once a month, and the other stuff maybe twice a year.

I don't recommend auto updates, because updates break things and dealing with that is a lot of work.

Documentation is for onboarding other people. Why on earth would I need to onboard other people to something self-hosted?

Classic equality/equity debate.

The long and short of it is, having children is not merely a personal benefit to the parent, it's a critical and necessary part of any functioning society. The proof is simply that you and everyone else owe your existence to your/their parents.

The burden of this task falls on the shoulders of parents. It's about as much work as a full time job.

Think of it as paying it forward for your parents and your own childhood. Maybe put aside the individualism that is rotting modern society from the inside out.

You are both right. Armored vehicles still serve a function, but I think it is fair to say that that function has diminished or at least changed significantly.

You would be correct for a switch only, but not a router (serving multiple VLANS and/or hosts via a trunk port connected to a single switch or WAP). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trunking

Here's a thought: maybe that weird behaviour is not just enabled, it's encouraged by participating an audience that platforms and rewards the behaviour. It's all a big show.

Star Field is a great example of a game that has amazing, immersive visuals, but the crappiest gameplay imaginable. All style, no substance. In the end it makes for an overall still crappy experience.

I can't think of a more fitting title to showcase this AI tech.

What are the odds it's self sabotage in an attempt to force the ship to leave.

A combination of: the people in positions of power stand to benefit personally for decisions that are bad for everyone else, and a failure of the people to hold him to account (which is itself caused by a mix of apathy, ignorance, and hatred).

It's only surprising if you have taken the competence and stability demonstrated over the last 70 years for granted.

 

This is currently my primary frustration with Connect: complete opaqueness regarding instances.

I understand that one design philosophy might argue that instances shouldn't matter, so why show it at all. But it does matter, especially on All, and in comments. I think at the current and near-term state of development, obscuring instances creates more confusion than it alleviates.

  • In this example, I have no idea what community this is. Where is "here"? "General" is a super broad category (does a multi-community even make sense for this type of community name?). Is this /c/general for a general purpose instance, or /c/general of an instance dedicated to a very specific topic? Is that instance worth checking out? Who knows?
  • Is this an instance I'm subscribed to yet?
  • is this the same /c/general I was in last time with a moderation policy and moderators I didn't like, or a new one?
  • Is my instance defederated from seal_of_approval and will they receive my message? Who knows?
  • Are most responders coming from lemmy.world, from sketchy instances loaded with bots or is there good traction from smaller instances? Is there instance brigading going on?
  • Is this an impersonator of seal_of_approval?
  • is this a specific community that spams a lot and I should block it?
  • What moderation rules apply to this instance?

I can't block entire instances myself...

I realize that a lot of these problems have some sort of workaround by drilling down into community details and profiles. Ain't nobody have time for that.

I realize that specific UI solutions could be introduced to tackle each of these problems individually in a user-friendly manner. But we're not there and who knows when we will get there.
