Good summary.. had a quick read and I use containers the same way (mostly proxmox these days because it makes them so easy, but it's just lxc under the hood).

I share your dislike of docker-only apps. Lemmy is a good example.. the 'from scratch' install didn't work at all for me and the ansible script just creates docker images..

I work around it by nesting docker in an lxc container for such apps. Keeps them contained in one place.. easier to manage. I have a proxmox template with docker installed (& my base network setup) so it only takes a couple of minutes to spin up.

The reaction is more likely 'It's still impossible. Just like we told you all the other times. Idiots.'

There's nothing technically wrong with using xjf rather than xzf, but it'll bite you if you ever use a non-linux platform as it's a GNU extension. I'm not even sure busybox tar supports it.

Either those entities are registed as charities or they're not. From a quick google it seems they are, so Unity is (again) talking shit.

Dynamic pricing works for transport because people have little choice about when to travel, especially commuters. So you get cheaper pricing when there's less demand without everyone shifting their travel plans to save money.

Not sure if it'll work in a pub. I'll just go to a different one, or go at a different time.. there's no lock in, so dynamic pricing could actually cost the chain money as at the busiest times people simply go elsewhere.. and once you've lost the 'habit' of going to a place it's much harder for them to persuade you to go back.

'confusion'. Yeah, right. Not a single person was confused. You went for the cash grab and it blew up in your face.

Now you're going to go for slightly less cash grab and because it's 'better' and 'we listened' everyone is supposed to just accept it. Been here before..

That's pretty much what I do, spin up a container for anything I need to do and everything is within that.. once I've finished I blow the container away and all the dependencies go with it. Currently use proxmox as a frontend for that although I ran on the command line for ages before switching to a beefier server.

I do the same with docker - nest it in a container so everything is together (and also so it can't screw around with the host networking). eg. my lemmy container has the lemmy docker and its dependencies together.

You can control that using TC, also add latency and packet loss if you want. It's really powerful, although a bit difficult to learn.

Do we know yet if unity's plan won't work?

Games take 3-5 years to make.. you can't change engine mid-development so it'll literally be years before they see any negative impact - during which time they'll be making bank.

From their point of view that's a success.. shareholders care little about long term sustainability.

That's literally the law in many countries - commercial drivers (who are the kinds of people who would be driving those kinds of distances) have to take a 45 minute break every 4.5 hours. Because it's unsafe to not do so.

And they can tell.. how exactly?

I suspect that's just a sales pitch... 'buy it now whilst you can!' stuff.
