I too do that, working from a windows vm and writing code for linux - but I push it to a linux vm for testing. Never occurred to me to use WSL and have another environment to configure and maintain for dev that's different to the target one.

But fair play if that suits you! Each to their own, and I'm sure I do things that make no sense to others.

Thanks - I can kind of see that, as docker on windows is majorly broken. I think I'd just run it in a linux vm, as I do with most of my developing, but I can see some might not want that overhead.

I do know what it is, I just don't know why you'd use it instead of proper linux, or a vm.

I still don't know what WSL is for.

Some people are just shittier than others. What they look like on the outside has no bearing on their inner beauty.

Good write up, but Docker's also useful beyond having the ability to scale, portability being one. With some websites having a huge variety of dependencies now, keeping that all together and knowing it will run on multiple hosts is a big benefit.

(Downside, because nothing is ever for free: You then have to maintain those dependencies and update the image, rather than letting the OS keep everything up to date)

We use docker a lot at work, but not for scaling and not with any cloud provider.

A perfect use for them - controlled environment, difficult conditions, repetitive and predictable workflow.

But I'm puzzled by the design - why have a cab? Wouldn't a more efficient layout be a whole-bed platform with all systems underneath?

X, for all the reasons.

Play store is impossible to browse to see what's worth trying for this reason.

I bought NMS when it was released, and hated it. Ok, it's legendary as something that was released before it was ready and that undoubtedly spoiled it for me - endless running and nothing to do, and I'm sure it's better now.

Elite Dangerous was quite fun for a while, but I got frustrated with the flying aspect quite a bit and after several deaths I gave up. I'm old enough to remember the first Elite, which was even more unforgiving.

Freelancer sounds interesting - I started searching and landed on the Amazon page for it, which told me " You last purchased this item on 29 Apr 2005". I have no recollection of the thing, but then I have played a lot of games. Still, worth a revisit - I'll take a look. Thanks.

Ok, but apart from that, it's okay, right?

Seriously - what is a good space exploration/trading game that doesn't require a huge learning curve? (I'm not a fan of flying stuff and too much trading is boring, but I do like exploring)

They're often having to juggle with very low budgets, old equipment, low skill and zero support. And that's before you add children...

I don't doubt they jumped at the chance of someone helping out.

You're talking as if "The linux community" was one single bunch of people.

Reddit isn't Linux HQ and nor is Lemmy, nor is Facebook. #linux still active on IRC too, but not there either.

Recent convert to immich and hugely impressed by the software and project - one of FOSS's shining stars. Good work everyone.

"Free speech" for these people has only meant for them.

Every morning we wake up with the ability to change who we are and how we act and react.

If you're sincere, you'll use that to improve who you are tomorrow.

If you're truly sorry, you'll do something extra to help others in some way and address the karma imbalance you've caused. Apologise to those people you hurt. (Trust me, it will mean something to them) Find ways to help others survive bullying. Make anonymous donations to the places you stole goods from.

I don't think they make violins small enough to signify my empathy for him.
