Yeah it’s one of those things that in theory it could make sense, it could be. However since we are humans, there does not exist any way that would not be morally abhorrent to some group of people. There’s zero way that in doing it this way wouldn’t destroy x group of people. And that’s why it can never be done. Eugenics is just too close to genocide.

What is with the downvote? Is this not music related? Just because it’s not your type of music?

I use Bazzite (which is steam now but community maintained for more PCs) for my htpc and PopOS for my main PC, both play every game I can throw at it. Maybe it’s time to try it out. I started with a windows dual boot and found myself using it less and less, until just a couple months ago I deleted windows completely

Idk I’m personally torn. I understand what she’s saying. Being famous is intense, and people expect too much. At the same time, your own fans are literally paying money and expecting you to be there. They paid for hotels, travel, food, and more just to see you. And it’s “too much”? Well, why would I want to pay money to go s e you now? What if it’s too much for my concert?

Idk if you don’t want to tour and you just want to make music fine, but touring and cancelling shows? That’s a huge let down to all of your fans, not just the crazy ones

…k

Well you definitely are breeding a welcoming culture here.

After all, what is music if not math?

God am I fucking sick of shitty corpo speak. You’re laying people off. You’re firing them. Do the bare minimum and own up to it.

This is like, the entirety of nextdoor. That is the most toxic place on the Internet

Just because it works doesn’t mean it follows best practices.

I haven’t, but I’m going to try it out!

That doesn’t make up for bad container decisions. I run much more complex containers both that split out responsibilities and that contain everything as one container. The size and complexity is irrelevant to the bad design decisions. You can have an image that eats up gigabytes of space that runs off of proper environment/config variables with properly mounted volumes.

Exactly. I’ll admit that growing up in the Midwest I had the fears of the scary boogymen, but I grew up in a town with one black kid in our whole school. Moving to a real city all of that went out the window quick, and transit is a big reason for it. People are just people.

I mean, it’s a valid reason. I originally joined Discord back in 2016 because of it’s easy to use voice. It became the standard for voice chat. Before that I had been using the Xbox party chat and other garbage voice systems.

Matrix doesn’t offer the same experience as discord. I’m sorry but it doesn’t. I set up my own to compare to see if my friend group would like it, and it was quite a step backwards. Even in it’s best platform element it was missing a lot of stuff from discord.

So, things like this I’d be very interested to watch. Revolt looked the most promising but it didn’t offer federation, and I wasn’t going to make everyone have a separate accountjust for our server

So this will be interesting. I will need at least voice to get them to come over, but I’ll watch this project closely

I’ll watch today! But yes I think the same thing! We only allow single family homes which means everything is spread out too far, which means there aren’t enough homes within a given area… Which means we need both better transit to reach those areas and/or to upzone to denser housing

Yeah I’ve thought about migrating, but I have a few users on it who use nextcloud regularly now, so I’m forced to support it - unless there’s an easy migration path

Thanks, I’ll disable that. I’m extra salty right now because I had to rollback a bad version and had to rebuild some of my config over the last week. I got into version hell because the code on the volume (which is why I’m pissed at it) said that I couldn’t run the image that I had set. So I pinned an earlier version, but then there were extensions that were pinned to a later one and said that I couldn’t rollback and didn’t start. I had to end up redoing the whole drive manually, forcing specific versions in the version.php and the config.php to finally make it work (Why is it in two places). Then after all that I had to run the upgrade command. Extremely annoying, and a waste of time for me. Other docker containers if I need to pin a version? I just… pin the version. Nextcloud is the only one I’ve seen where they store code on my volume and then pin specific versions to it.

Welcome to my primary frustration. It only takes most people to try a real city with real public transit to realize they actually like cities. Cities are fearmongered here in the states, people think they’re high crime, they’re dirty, they’re not easy to get to, and frankly I firmly believe most of that is because of our transit. Cities are hard to get to because most of them require cars to get to. Those with actual fun downtown (that don’t have good transit) involve people parking somewhere and walking around. Vegas and San Antonio are great examples.

San Antonio here, a place I genuinely had a good time in - once I parked and I could walk around. The city core is incredibly walkable - but it’s surrounded by freeways that cut neighborhoods off from each other.

Having things so distant and making it hard to get into the cities makes people not want to go there, which deteriorates the city core - which then crime becomes a self fulfilling prophesy. By leaving the downtown core and never going - they unintentionally make crime worse.

There’s actually a really interesting theory here in the states. People really remember fondly going to college (Uni for you brits ;)), mostly because they always had a group of friends around, they would meet up for meals, go out for drinks, and they were all in the dorms. Then they graduate and most move out to the suburbs. The theory is - do they miss college? Or do they miss having a truly walkable neighborhood, with most things nearby? Friends that they can just see when they’re out walking around? A transit system that helps them get around their neighborhood easily.

How we move around fascinates me, and I think it’s a huge reason for a lot of social issues we face here in the states. I’ll go as far as most of them. I’ll take a very extreme example. Our culture’s racism would be inherently better with better transit. There’s reasons why more urbanized cores are more open to other people and cultures - it’s because we’re normalized to it. We see people every day and know they’re just like us. In suburban and rural america you aren’t exposed to other people. Even if you go to work you’re alone in your car, you don’t experience being around others. Having something like the Tube makes it a natural gathering place, where you experience everyone around you, and a lot of those prejudices can easily fall away just by being around people.

That turned out longer than I thought! Thanks for reading this far if you did :)

I don’t have the link here, but essentially yes, nextcloud can update it’s own app code in it’s image because you have to mount the code to your own filesystem. This means that between docker images you can have a mismatch of the code that you have stored and the code that the image is expecting, which frequently causes mismatches for me. This is an antipattern. The code should be stored in the image, not as a volume mount. There should never be a mismatch of code in a docker image - that’s the whole point. The configuration could be out of date sure, or if there’s a data file that’s needed, that’s expected. The actual running code thought, that should never be on a mountable volume.

Next time you update the image you will probably be greeted with a “Nextcloud needs to update”. That should not exist. You already pulled the image, that should be everything you need to do. The caveats are extensions, kind of a grey area in my book, but I know it’s not a clean pattern with those either. (The best one I’ve seen lets you pin the extension version with environment variables or a config file, and then once again you are in control of when they update, and no running code is stored outside of the image.)
