  • The part I don't get is why wrap it up to look like it was ok? We're they going to hand the baby to the parents and then claim it was ok when they handed it over? No take backs? Seriously wtf?!?

  • Their code is useless unless it can be enforced by one of the other branches. Judges all agreeing to not be shit while crossing their fingers behind their back does us no good.

  • Except we dont want to live in a world where the government can just bully you with no law. I am sure there is something specific, just haven't heard the DoJ actually state what it is. Until then they do fucking with citizens, as sleezy as they may be, leads to a shitty government.

  • I've done a few things.

    I have a mailing list for all my recruiters. They all get added in whenever I get pings on LinkedIn or cold calls. When I am looking for work the mailing list all gets BCC'd a message saying I'm looking, here is my resume, what I'm looking for, etc. When I book an interview I BCC them all saying one of the recruiters has setup an interview, if you work on their behalf do not submit my name as I know there are issues with multiple recuiters doing that. They all get the info, and honestly all the recruiters I've worked with have loved this.

    Second is apply to everything. There have been places where their job description was my exact work history and yet I get no response. No one is hamed by you applying all over. They want candidates and if no one applied then the jobs would stay empty. I found a job in 4 months of looking but I applied to probably 70 jobs. Some were me trying to get a huge raise and position job, a few were worst case scenario. The job before my previous one took 9 months of looking and a few hundred applications. I did get a few offers along the way but not things I wanted to do.

    It is all a numbers game. I've been a developer for 25 years and it has never been a one and done task. I have all sorts of crap to toot my own horn and I'd say that in 90% of the jobs I apply for I'm overly qualified and yet many times I didn't get a call because the person fielding my resume and application didn't move it along. Was the role filled? Did they think I'd get bored or expect more pay? Did they not like the font I'm using? I will never know.

    Oh and your interview skills needs to be worked on.

  • I've yet to hear of a explicit law that is being broken with respect to SCOTUS. Obviously in our legal system we have rules and laws that stop people from doing the stuff he is doing but because its the legal system every case is a special case. DoJ will jump the moment a very specific law is broken but honestly I don't know what it would be as of the moment other than being obviously in the pocket of wealthy people and being a scumbag.

  • I think the demographic may not be the correct financially. Though that might be more funny, a bunch of people buying out of spite and then defaulting.

  • You say that as if there are face shots of him that aren't extremely punchable

  • Yeah sadly the times I've gotten screwed is when a major version change occurred in 2022. Got burned once doing that and now I know to check to see if we have upgraded past the version the code works before spending too much time working on it.

  • I always have written my dates this way. It's one of those things that always seemed weird to me and then when I realize that only in America do we write our dates MM-DD-YYYY /facepalm

  • I've found it useful for basically finding the example code for a 3rd party library. Basically a version of Stack Exchange that can be better or worse.

  • Damn, I must have had the wrong dev job. Did one for 13 years where i had to wear flame retardant clothes, drive up mountains in the winter and sit out in the desert in the summer, annual training as a first responder. But I did sip a lot of coffee and have a lot of stress.

  • I've been debating hoping off gentoo because my system is so old. Like a decade old. A majority of the stuff compiles fine but Firefox and LibreOffice I just use the binary builds via Flatpak. Its funny cuz i still remember the days where building the kernel took a few hours.

  • Sadly my daily driver is getting pretty old and slow so i typically dont put big distros on lxc. Maybe NixOS can he configured to be super slim. New weekend project.

  • I'm actually the opposite. Run gentoo as my host and toss up a debian lxc if needed. Worst case scenario im running just the kernel and everything else from a container (actually how i typically run when rebuilding a system from start).

    I've never run into a situation where an app "couldn't" run in Gentoo. It's just that I've had cases where an app is build for a 8 year old LTS of debian with such old dependencies it wouldn't be worth my time building them all when i can just pull up a container with that super old build. The nice thing is that all the vulnerabilities that old Debian had is now in a container and less of a target.

    I swear i must be lucky cuz i do often hear of gentpo fatigue but I've been running it since the project started and never had issues outside the things they legitimately broke.

  • There are scripts for making a jail around single apps but yeah I typically don't use them that way. Lxc I very often install an app I want to test out and toss once I want to dedicate compile time to it.

  • I want to look into NixOS. They basically have a one file config and install for your entire system. Wonder how well it works in lxc.

  • That is kind of the expected setup. Either a vm or a dedicated system. You let docker do its thing and it should work.

    I run lxc because i want contained systems I control. That just means I have to do the work too.

  • There are a few differences because lxc runs along side the reast of host system rather than the daemonized container service that Docker does.

    From the host you can access kernel related controls within the target system. You can see the processes running, perform tuning on them, etc while also having the same kernel level control inside the target. This also means you can have better control over security bu setting group policies, apparmor profiles and system aware firewall rules because you aren't running your target in a black box.

    Their purposes are very different. If you are running a single process for a single purpose you use Docker. When you want yo run a system for a specific service you run lxc. Can you do the opposite within each type? Yep. But that's not what they are designed for. Can you run a full blown email service with imap and pop, a web server for a webmail client and antivirus services inside a docker container...of course. But all the tuning and configuration is done at the container level which means that we assume all installs and replication must be the same. In lxc i can install the same system but if we want to tweak max memory usage or niceness of a given service you can do that globally or target a specific container while on docker youd have to go to each container to do that work.

  • With the addition of Alpine Linux containers are now barely bigger than the application itself.

  • I use it all the time, similar to how I use jails on my FreeBSD systems. Basically when I need to compartmentalize an app I launch a new instance of Alpine and install the app.

    As an example I have a container that has my VPN software and a browser that I know is a clean room.

    I run Gentoo as my main distro and sometimes a package is distributed only as a deb with very specific version dependencies I can't build. So I spin up a base Debian container and install the app. If it's X11 I can launch it into my current session and if it's console then I can always mount my home directory as a network share.
