This isn’t aimed at the person making the video because there’s about 1000 videos like it, but these videos I find are rarely a help. They walk you through enough to follow the instructions found on their official documentation and then the presenter is like, “and there you have it!”
There’s always so many things glossed over and no matter who you are 12 minutes will never be enough to introduce Docker. And yet you will find video after video of people doing 10-minute Docker tutorials.
There are just so many things ignored like how to setup reverse proxies, file locations/permissions, backups, and more that all get obfuscated by Docker and people never mention in these videos. Why do people keep making this style of introduction?
Anyone can follow the first three steps of a GitHub Readme. It’s the 10 steps after that a beginner would want to know about and that’s right where all these videos end.

An option is tritium vials. They’re pretty cheap on eBay and last something like 7 or 8 years.

I’ve felt this way before, but I also wonder if I would have had kids in another life where the world wasn’t so fucked. I feel occasionally that I was robbed of parenthood by our current state of things.

Haha yeah. That’s where I recently learned about it myself. They’ve been on a hot streak of some really fantastic videos as of late.

It’s kind of wild just how useful asbestos actually was. Aside from the obvious issues, it was genuinely a miracle material that did all sorts of cool things. Too bad our insides hate it more than just about anything else.

It sits in a read only container anyway. Worst someone could do is wreck my config.

I personally use Jellyfin because it means I can have a public-facing page with a login that I can access from any device with a web browser, including at work, without having to install software or use my VPN. I do organize everything meticulously on the backend, but it’s just way more convenient for portability.

Fun story about these. When I was a kid and first came across these, my classmates had convinced me that lemon was the weakest flavor. This meant that when I had one, it was way too strong, and I assumed all the others must be worse, so it was the flavor I always picked when offered.
Moral of the story: don’t always take others word for it and be willing to try options that you’ve been told are wrong.

It’s almost like people have several unique sets of needs for an operating system and the community works to fill those voids as best as possible with no expectation of financial gain and so things aren’t as polished because of it.
But the company with near unlimited budget can’t figure out how to keep their OS from deleting people’s files and crashing.

“Man, I’ve had a headache for a long as I can remember.”
“Here, try some aspirin. At least give it a shot.”
“No thanks, I need the headache. It lets me play Fortnite.”

I get one full priced game maybe once every two or three years. Most of the time, Steam sales are my friend.

Genuinely made me cry a couple times Elija Wood is a treasure and the guy who made the show (the actor playing Wilfred) only ever made that show. Absolute brilliant mark on the world.
- Comment on I am looking for a Linux OS 4 weeks ago:
I wish there was an easy way to test this, but I got two weeks into my setup before I noticed parties because it was only affecting some of my games. This is still a good idea, just not a guarantee.
- Comment on I am looking for a Linux OS 4 weeks ago:
Worth mentioning that if you’re on AMD, you’re pretty much open for choice. If you have nVidia, make sure the OS you go with calls out nVidia support as a feature. Even then, your specific config may require that you try out a couple before finishing the right fit.
I personally tried Bazzite and had a rough experience with performance and haven’t had outsides on EndeavorOS, but have read reports from other nVidia users that had the opposite experience. All to say, your mileage may vary, and don’t give up right away if the first one doesn’t feel right.
- Comment on How come decades in the 1900s look fairly well differentiated but from like 2004 on feels like a giant run on? 4 weeks ago:
To counter that, the open source scene is bigger than it’s ever been and is potentially on track to start making waves in the mass market. That’s a big thing that I feel was not the case in the 2010s. There’s way more DIY going on in the 2020s I feel. So not all bad at least.

- Comment on Do you prefer fluffy UI over Liquid Glass? 5 weeks ago:
I’ll join in and say that I also don’t understand the hate. I get the readability and accessibility stuff, but as far as pure aesthetic, I personally really enjoy it. I haven’t personally run into the supposed complete workflow hitches that others seem to have with it.
