Kinda. I think it's definitely true that docker is used as a distro-agnostic package manager for services, and if we only had one distro we might not need that.

It should be noted that projects like cosmo attempt to make things portable to and across BSD's as well as Linux's, so people definitely want distro agnostic packages (or a package manager), even on the BSD operating systems.

However, on the other end, docker is also powerful because it (and tools that use docker containers, like kubernetes), orchestrate services and allow people to bring them up very, very quickly. Like, to bring up a service called pairdrop, I just take this file:

***
services:
  pairdrop:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/pairdrop:latest
    container_name: pairdrop
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=Etc/UTC
      - RATE_LIMIT=false #optional
      - WS_FALLBACK=false #optional
      - RTC_CONFIG= #optional
      - DEBUG_MODE=false #optional
    ports:
      - 3000:3000
    restart: unless-stopped

and type docker-compose up -d. And it's really quick, and arguably only possible due to the way containers are isolated and it's easy to create and destroy them. There exist solutions for automation and scripting like ansible, but they just aren't as good as the container solutions for automatically putting services up.

I'm not personally trying to argue for telegram's use. I'm just pointing out why people end up using it. When convincing people to use Matrix, I find that calling them flies isn't really helpful for my arguments.

people flock to Telegram, a centralised and insecure service.

Telegram isn't a chat app. It's an unlimited free file upload, storage, and sharing service that ignores any DMCA or takedown requests. It masquerades as a chat app, but that's why people flock to it despite the fact that it's not truly private.

And then of course, if people are already there, why not chat on Telegram?

Can't you run ddg without javascript, on their plain html version?

I threw together a list of a few dockerhub alternatives, including the fact that apparently google has a public mirror.

It's because you go to a Linux conference and meet interesting people and you ask for their contact, and they offer either signal or matrix.

XMPP is still being maintained and stuff, and still works fine, it's just not as widely used.

Okay. So I did a little research since I was truly curious.

https://www.animals24-7.org/2019/10/14/pit-bulls-new-gene-study-shows-it-is-not-all-in-how-you-raise-them/*

Boom. A genetic link between aggression and certain violent behaviors and pitbulls. 15% of their personality. Caused by an aggressive period of selectively breeding them for dogfights.

And now I think we should breed pitbulls out of existence.

@Empicorn@feddit.nl (is this how you @ a user?).

1 source. That's all it fucking takes. I don't understand why people who spend so much time on the internet are so mid at arguing. 4 articles of AI slop aren't going to convince anyone of shit. 2-3 other articles that don't actually back up your point have the same issue. But you're prancing all over this thread like you're hot shit. The issues I mentioned in my previous comment still apply, but here's a new source for you to use I guess, you're welcome.

And of course, I have to obligatorily state that no parallels to human behavior can be drawn from this. No, black people were not "bred for strength". No, they are not inherently more aggressive. No, we should not just use eugenics to eliminate certain "races" because human races are a social construct (see above diagram). However, dogs work differently, it seems.

*Edit: actually this source seems to be somewhat problematic since it seems to cover a dispraportionate amount of news related to pitbulls but that doesn't make the study immediately wrong.

Okay researching further I found another scientific article going in the opposite direction.

However, our community sample of Pit Bull-type dogs showed they are not more aggressive or more likely to have a behavioral diagnosis than other dogs. This does not support reliance on breed-specific legislation to reduce dog bites to humans [23

(Damn, I said I wouldn't argue but now I seem to be arguing with myself. Don't worry chat. Imma win.)

Opens google scholar

Oh shit. It doesn't even mention the word pitbull. Investigating further, many of the claims that article makes, like the ones about certain dog breeds needing no/less training to do certain things, are just straight up unsourced and not mentioned in the study. wtf?!

I am enraged that the article just straight up fucking lied to me and I fell for it. This is why I use google scholar and vet the studies myself, rather than using a search engine normally.

But it seems like we are back to "pitbulls are products of their environments" again.

On a miscellaneous note, google scholar seems to have really enshittified. It's now attempting to show me normal news articles and blog posts, rather than exclusively scientific journals. Eugh.

…and see what, exactly? That culture doesn’t exist?

Yes lol.

Why…should I care if you’re black?

Because I am a living counterexample to the idea that black people need to speak a certain way.

What shit? You mean Black Entertainment Television? TV for black people? Black culture?

And Google's "privacy sandbox" is so private. C'mon lol. You gotta be either stupid or trolling.

Do you even know what you’re trying to argue?

Yes.

Abuse and mistreatment can play a large role in a dog’s aggression, and pit bulls are often subjected to such conditions. In situations like this, dogs learn to be aggressive and will bite humans as a result. However, studies have shown that pit bulls’ aggression is largely due to their living conditions, and they aren’t necessarily naturally dangerous dogs

While many pit bulls can be held responsible for dog bites, it’s also worth noting that their reputation makes people quick to blame the breed. Other dog breeds have similar physical features as pit bulls, so people assume that’s what they are.

From the very article you linked in the other comment.

Don't talk facts when your source refutes your claim.

Incus is a virtual machine platform, similar to Proxmox, but with some big upsides, like being packaged on Debian and Ubuntu as well, and more features.

https://github.com/lxc/incus

Incus was forked from LXD after Canonical implemented a Contributor License Agreement, allowing them to distribute LXD as proprietary software.

This youtuber, Zabbly, is the primary developer of Incus, and they livestream lots of their work on youtube.

As of 10/1/24 3:52 UTC time, Trixie/Debian testing does not have a fix for the severe cupsd security vulnerability that was recently announced, despite Debian Stable and Unstable having a fix.

Debian Testing is intended for testing, and not really for production usage.

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/cups-filters, archive

So the way Debian Unstable/Testing works is that packages go into unstable/ for a bit, and then are migrated into testing/trixie.

Issues preventing migration: ∙ ∙ Too young, only 3 of 5 days old

Basically, security vulnerabilities are not really a priority in testing, and everything waits for a bit before it updates.

I recently saw some people recommending Trixie for a "debian but not as unstable as sid and newer packages than stable", which is a pretty bad idea. Trixie/testing is not really intended for production use.

If you want newer, but still stable packages from the same repositories, then I recommend (not an exhaustive list, of course).:

  • Opensuse Leap (Tumbleweed works too but secure boot was borked when I used it)
  • Fedora

If you are willing to mix and match sources for packages:

  • Flatpaks
  • distrobox — run other distros in docker/podman containers and use apps through those
  • Nix

Can get you newer packages on a more stable distros safely.
