I have lost now not hours, but days debugging their terrible AIO container. Live production code stored in persistent volumes. Scattered files around the main drive in seemingly arbitrary locations. Environment variables that are consistently ignored/overrided. It's probably my number one example of worst docker containers and what not to do when designing your container.

It's because with docker you don't need to do log files. Logging should be to stdout, and you let the host, orchestration framework, or whoever is running the container so logs however they want to. The container should not be writing log files in the first place, containers should be immutable except for core application logic.

Persistent storage should never be used for logging in docker. Nextcloud is one of the worst offenders of breaking docker conventions I've found, this is just one of the many ways they prove they don't understand docker.

Logs should simply be logged to stdout, which will be read by docker or by a logging framework. There should never be "log files" for a container, as it should be immutable, with persistent volumes only being used for configuration or application state.

I was just thinking yesterday - when was the last time we server owners actually had a feature update? I think last one I noticed was credits skip, and that was... 3 years ago? About?

Meanwhile Jellyfin apparently has been developing full steam ahead, I noticed credit skips in my test instance yesterday.

Americans have been so conditioned for the car, yet don't realize that lacking transit is one of the largest drivers of wealth inequality.

Cities are expensive, so people move to the suburbs. Suburbs though being all single family we only built roads. Roads only have so much capacity, so traffic is terrible and there's a limit for how large our cities can get before commutes are over an hour. Prices go up because the jobs are in the city and people have to figure out how long they can tolerate commuting.

Or, we built transit, which would create more housing further away from the city with fast connections into the city. Housing near the city is of course still worth more, but people can choose to live even farther away, so there are many less housing shortages.

Vs Portland/Vancouver WA, where Vancouver WA is a smallish town on the outskirts of Portland. They need to replace a highway bridge that's already decaying. Portland is happy to pitch in more than their share to pay for it IF they can extend their light rail network across it to connect Vancouver to transit. Vancouver is screaming they don't want it because homeless! Thugs! (Black people). Shooting themselves right in the foot. I've asked them how long it takes them to five in. "Well sometimes over an hour". Morons.

I tolerate everyone except for the intolerant. You want to hurt people? Fuck you I have no empathy for you. End of story. Fully agree with you

I love Jenny, so HBomberGuy would probably be good too

above and beyond, thank you!

 

Title essentially. Youtube's algorithm is hot garbage, so I can't search for anything anymore without a ton of AI slop and rage bait. So, who do you go to for actual good long form videos? Exposes, scandals, behind the scenes, documentaries, film, travel, transit, who do you recommend I follow?

Shocking. When your entire customer base asks "why?" When you announce a product that's usually a good indicator. Also wasn't it like 800 dollars?

As George Carlin said

If you have selfish ignorant people you get selfish ignorant leaders

It's not about one politician. He got in but let's be real, if it wasn't him it'd be someone else. The people wanted this. They voted for it. Hoodwinked or no, they wanted a selfish ignorant leader for selfish ignorant reasons.

Our democracy has been pointing to this for decades. If anything, this election showed me what us Americans are actually like.

 

Now that the Superbowl is over I expect we won't be hearing from either Taylor or Travis for a while. Let the wild speculation news cycle resume!

 

For those who remember, it was bad enough where it was memeable. Once your factory got to a certain size we would have to turn autosaves down to every half an hour because they would take over 3 minutes - or longer. It became a mandatory break time, to stand up and get a drink.

 

Title question mostly. I've played with XTTS-v2 and it worked pretty well, but I'm wondering if folks are using anything else special. I'd like to train my own voice finetune which is what I did with XTTS-v2, and then use it with home assistant's voice feature. Welcome all opinions on it!

Doordash deserves it's fate (poptalk.scrubbles.tech)

2 pizzas, a small order of breadsticks, and wanted to splurge and get cinnamon sticks.

Pizzas are a "Buy one get one deal!" at 13 bucks a pizza. Figured what the hell, I'll splurge on desert then with the deal. Get to checkout... hold on a minute.... 50 dollars for pizza?! Wait a minute 80 dollars after fees and taxes?!

Usually I only use Doordash for finding something, then I order direct from the store. I just saw the sweet "buy one get one" deal and thought eh, fine I'm here. Right, that's why I stopped using door dash. I'm not spending 80 dollars on freaking pizza. I'll just go pick it up and spend a quarter of that price.

At least I would have saved the $3 dollar delivery fee. Phew. Thanks DoorDash.

Hey all, I just wanted to give my personal view, now is the time to start talking about the Fediverse seriously with friends and family. I always have casually, but I'm starting serious talks with them now that the political climate has... shifted.

We are not the only ones who are concerned about our online privacy. Even people I thought didn't really care are suddenly concerned (or realizing) that their private chats and DMs may not be as private as they thought. I've found that many more people are interested than were even just a few months ago.

Fediverse is a bit harder, I've found it's easier to convince family with "It's a more private space for us to share vacation photos like we used to". Even my aging relatives know that facebook isn't safe to upload intimate family photos to, and they're looking for a solution. Friendica works well for this (and it's relatively easy to host a family instance).

Matrix has honestly been easier. It works similar to Discord so those users have been easier to transition, and you may be surprised how many of your friends are only in Discord to chat in your small servers anyway. If the majority of the conversation moves, they probably will to.

The biggest takeaway is, although we are techies, don't talk about the tech. It turns people away. Let it come up naturally. Describe the places as private, away from prying eyes. When asked "Well can I talk to other people?" Say yes, you'll show them how when it comes time for it. Don't bother with saying it's like email, or this, or that. To them, it's just an app. Send them to the registration page you want them to join at, and let it flow from there.

Good luck!

Another day in “oh my god @taylorswift is so effing classy” land. Opened a package today that had an @mtv case inside and thought “who worked at MTV?! Me? Charlie?…” What a delightful surprise! My 90’s girl heart is bursting. Thank you for sending me an MTVVMA, Taylor. What a joy you are. And thanks to the rest of my #antihero family @birbigs and @bejohnce 👯‍♂️👯‍♂️ #mtvvma #kimber
