  • Probably just a hold over from when I was first learning. Had issues with a couple services not actually updating without it, so I just do it to be absolutely sure. Also, I only ever run one app per compose, so that forces a "reboot" of the whole stack when I update.

  • I also think tech workers should unionize. On a darker note, I think outsourcing/offshoring post-covid is going to kill any unions viability.

    Quite possibly, but that's just another part of the onshore/offshore cycle. And having worked for a company that utilized offshore for coverage reasons, I'm not that worried about my position. Offshore techs are decent, but I have to clean up after them more than my onshore coworkers.

    You need bargaining power (withhold your labor) and I'm not sure that will exist for this trade because of how easy it will be to find workers.

    Offshore may work as scabs, but much like scabs, the work quality is noticeably worse. Ultimately, I think tech workers are a bigger hindrance to a tech union than the threat of offshoring is. Mainly because of the house cat like "rugged individualism" they're sure they have and a lack of overall understanding of the system we work in.

  • I'll be against agism aimed at our ruling class when we stop living in a fucking gerontocracy. This isn't even the first us Congress critter to have this kind of a spotlight, and rightly goddamned so.

    I don't care how many shitty sub-50 politicians there are when we're discussing politicians that are so goddamned old they can't even do their job. Shit like this and Diane 'hiding totally-not-dementia with the constant escort' Feinstein need to stop, along with Mitch 'grandpa rebooted again' McConnell.

    How many crypt keepers need to die in office before we acknowledge that these people are too fucking old?!?! Hell, look at the current president/president elect: two fucking dementia riddled idiots.

  • But rebuilding your container is pretty trivial from the command line all said and done. I have something like this alias'd in my .bashrc to smooth it along:

    Docker compose pull; docker compose down; docker compose up -d

    I regularly check on my systems and go through my docker dirs and run my alias to update everything fairly simply. Add in periodic schedule image cleanups and it has been humming along for a couple years for the most part (aside from one odd software issues and hardware failures).

    How often are there issues with dependencies? Is that a problem with a lot of software these days?

    I started using docker 3-4 years ago specifically because I kept having issues with dependencies of one app breaking others, but I also tend to run a lot of services per VM. Honestly, the overhead of container management is infinitely preferable to the overhead that comes with managing OS level stuff. But I'm also not a Linux expert, so take that for what you will.

  • Honestly, why would he? The legal action has been fairly toothless, and haven't been trying super hard to stop more than the worst of his embezzlement. Sure they're going to liquidate and close Infowars (which is basically worthless without Jones), but he's already setting up all kinds of shell companies and new operations to move his listeners to.

    I'd like to hope they'll keep coming after his new shit, but their kid gloves so far have only encouraged him to keep at it while only moderating his speech enough to not get him in the same water.

  • I've been building a media collection for over a decade and a half at this point. I have a bit of the original stuff, mainly music, from back then but I lost most of my collection a couple of times to drive crashes before I understood what backups were.
