Maybe you mean it’s use where people use it specifically as a package manager

Precisely. Containerization is great and Docker does it well. Sending someone a reproducible script that can set up your software package for them is great. Marrying the two concepts unnecessarily and using one specific tool which is designed primarily to do the first, to instead do the second, is the only real issue I’m taking with it.

Yeah, I honestly just strongly dislike the whole Docker ethos. It was designed for one thing (deployment at scale), at which it excelled, and then everyone uses it for a different thing (reproducible one-off deployment), at which it is fine, basically, but just kind of the minimum set of capabilities to get the job done.

Nix can do what Docker does, in a much superior fashion (lower disk space, much better transparency, rollback ability, lack of towering chains of follow-on effects as you are talking about, and applications outside of mucking around with containerized images), but for some reason everyone uses Docker, and Nix is as far as I can tell unused outside of NixOS.

Whatever. When they make me king, it'll be different, that's all I can say.

Hm... definitely don't automatically do anything with ponder.cat going forward, this instance is just on the verge of shutting down because the .cat registrar caught me not being Catalan. I'm a little surprised it hasn't already happened.

So what the [email protected] bot does is, more or less, just grab https://data.lemmyverse.net/data/community.full.json, sort by (MAU / number of subscribers), and then make a post of the highest-rated community with at least 100 subscribers that hasn't already been posted.

I don't see [email protected] in that Lemmyverse list and I have no useful input for you as to why that might be... maybe something to do with Anubis? Is lemmyverse maybe trying to fetch the main page and crawl the .js instead of grabbing the list of communities from the API, something like that, so that it can't update slrpnk anymore now? I have no idea.

I don't think .ml should be ousted. I think they should stop being dickheads. It's a little tangential to this particular post (mostly only relevant in that it makes people suspicious of their motives when otherwise they would not be.)

Yeah, it’s crazy how we all have more or less the exact same opinions, and the leader bans anyone who doesn’t have those opinions, and we’re all fine with it and in fact justify it and claim it’s right, whenever it comes up.

It’s totally insane. I have no idea how or why anyone would decide to make an account in our stuff. In fact, it makes other people suspicious of our designated good leader, even in scenarios where there isn’t otherwise a ton of reason to assume any malice.

Docker is a mediocre solution to a real problem. It doesn’t cost any money, it does the job, but also, it consumes lots more disk than it needs to and can’t do some things that a solution in this space really should be able to do.

If the world had decided that Nix was the way to containerize their web services and make them reproducible, the world would have been a better place, but that wasn’t what happened (yet at least).

• “This isn’t even malicious, just look at it, it’s perfectly innocent”
• “Besides, if they wanted to do something, they could disguise it way better than this”

Pick a lane, .ml.

I know, we don’t want our software sending our secrets to the trusted good leader, and we don’t feel like participating in places where only the leader’s viewpoint is acceptable. Unlike the non-sheep, who are fine with both those things apparently, because who wouldn’t trust the good leader.

Edited.

The Iranians attacked an American base during Trump 1 and injured some soldiers, and Israel had been killing Americans periodically since the USS Liberty. No one’s going to give a shit, in any way that matters.

Yeah 100%, it's all Docker's fault at the end of the day
