Samesies! Happens almost anytime I’m drinking a cold drink.

You’re the cool aunt, for sure.

I could go in-depth, but really, the best way I can describe my docker usage is as a simple and agnostic service manager. Let me explain.

Docker is a container system. A container is essentially an operating system installation in a box. It’s not really a full installation, but it’s close enough that understanding it like that is fine.

So what the service devs do is build a container (operating system image) with their service and all the required dependencies - and essentially nothing else (in order to keep the image as small as possible). A user can then use Docker to run this image on their system and have a running service in just a few terminal commands. It works the same across all distributions. So I can install whatever distro I need on the server for whatever purpose and not have to worry that it won’t run my Docker services. This also means I can test services locally on my desktop without messing with my server environment. If it works on my local Docker, it will work on my server Docker.

There are a lot of other uses for it, like isolated development environments and testing applications using other Linux distro libraries, to name a couple, but again, I personally mostly just use it as a simple service manager.

tldr + eli5 - App devs said “works on my machine”, so Docker lets them ship their machine.

Listen, I hate the tipping culture here just as much as everybody else, but the fact is, if you can’t afford to tip, you can’t afford to go out. Should employees get a decent wage without it, absolutely yes. But they don’t right now, and you not tipping isn’t going to change that.

In general, I agree, but it seems Mozilla is trying to do the right thing by AI. Offline translation is neat. And the Review Checker they just introduced uses AI to spot fake Amazon reviews. I think that’s pretty cool.

My ISP says my IP is technically dynamic, but it hasn’t changed once in the 6 years I’ve had their service. But that’s for the best, since they’re the only choice for symmetrical gigabit and their only option for static IPs is for business accounts.

So I continue to trust that they won’t change it. Fingers crossed.

Indeed.

I thought I was getting okay at the basics, but actually visiting Japan taught me that I definitely was not. But I’m starting classes later this year, hope to become fluent eventually.

This is why I wrote a Telegram bot that uses yt-dlp to convert videos and send them directly to people. My friend group all use different socials, Facebook, tiktok, Twitter, Lemmy, etc., and the bot will take the link, download the video, then send it back to the person, and then they can forward it to whatever chats they want.

It’s been pretty fucking handy. That is, if your friends use Telegram.

When I was a kid, I would’ve thought it was hilarious to be mistaken for an ugly girl. Can’t speak for this kid, but it looks like he had fun with it.

Just because you’ve never used “iced” doesn’t make it uncommon. “Iced tea” is very popular beverage in the American south, for instance.

It’s not that they didn’t know Starbucks secret code (“iced” is a common term to use for putting ice in any drink). It’s that they used alcohol code instead (“on the rocks” is a common term to use for putting ice in alcohol).

Namecheap. But it might also have to do with my domain not being very popular. Not sure.

I went with .io specifically for this. It doesn’t look special or anything, it’s just cheaper than .org and accepted anywhere I’ve tried, so far.

I highly discourage 1337x. They got caught not banning a user who intentionally uploaded malware. Forgive the reddit link, but there aren’t a lot of piracy news sites.

Definitely ancient since C# has been cross-platform for 4 years with Dotnet Core. If you include Mono, make that 19 years.

Moral and ethical implications aside, I really want Discord to die specifically for this reason. Discord servers are increasingly becoming home to things that belong on forums and/or wikis, and it’s ridiculously frustrating. Literally 90% of the servers I’m in are designed for support for some piece of software or hardware. Just make a forum, I beg.

Mumble or Teamspeak. I run TS, myself.

Holy hell Java on a Smartwatch?

WearOS is based on Android, which uses Android Runtime (ART) as the application runtime. ART uses Java (or any other JVM-compatible language, such as Kotlin) as the development language, but compiles the app to native code when it’s installed on a client device.

So… Kind of?

Malicious actors spamming the community with actual CSAM.

Yes, I’ve got community icons and avatars working. Which are actually the only things I see in my pictrs volume.
