  • Docker Backup Stratagy

    Jump

  • Yep, bind mount the data and config directories and back those up. You can test a backup by spinning up a new container with the data/config directories.

    This is both easy and generally the recommended thing I've seen for many services.

    The only thing that could cause issues is breaking changes caused by the docker images themselves, but that's an issue regardless of backup strategy.

  • Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac ordered to consider crypto as an asset when buying mortgages

    Jump

  • I think the question I always have is "what is driving the value"? Why do more people want it now than a year ago?

    Since the only answer that I can come up with is "because someone later might pay more for it", it makes me a little skittish to bother with it. I did invest in etherium when it looked like web 3.0 might actually be a thing, but that seems to have stagnated so I sold.

    The issue right now is that every "asset" seems to only go up, the question will be how it all fairs when the next crash happens (cause it will happen eventually). Stocks in companies that produce something can usually weather a storm and rebound, same with bonds, but what does an intangible speculative asset do?

  • Republicans ask Donald Trump to revoke Zohran Mamdani's citizenship

  • All childhood vaccines in question after first meeting of RFK Jr.’s vaccine panel

    Jump

  • I mean, that's everyone involved in this administration. The decisions they've made will have screwed over generations to come and the total productivity of this country has been shot to hell.

    There is no way to look at any of these decisions in a good way.

  • Trump, 79, explodes in F-word meltdown as his ceasefire unravels

    Jump

  • How many times can you recall a president cursing when talking to reporters? Even Trump doesn't curse much in his tweets or press briefings. So it's definitely notable.

  • Trump social media site brought down by Iran hackers

    Jump

  • Really you should have it direct to a clone of the site, but with fake accounts pushing whatever agenda you want.

  • Trump floats regime change in Iran, muddying the administration’s message

    Jump

  • I think your misunderstanding the article. They're not saying that Trump hasn't called for everything and anything under the sun. They're saying that after the bombing, trumps team was stating the attack was on their nuclear capabilities, then Trump throws out regime change.

    The issue with this is that generally when you bomb someone, you are sending a message. If Trumps admin says one thing, then Trump declares another, it's hard to know what the US actually wants and was trying to achieve with the bombings.

    Its a similar issue with the tarrifs. Countries have met with the Trump admin to discuss tariffs, but the admin is struggling to define what they want, as Trump doesn't have a plan/policy. This is causing frustrations with allies because we're beating them up economically, but won't tell them why or what it would take for us to stop.

    Overall the issue is that Tumpisim may work on social media for constituents, but political messaging between countries generally requires more clear consistent messaging/communication.

  • Theoretical Private Age Confirmation -- Possible?

    Jump

  • I always thought the simplest way to do it is to pass laws that require every website to provide a rating/content description and then leave it up to the end user to set acceptable levels. We don't get mad for kids watching the wrong content on TV.

    Websites could be fined for either not providing or providing incorrect classifications.

    If people don't want their kids to see that stuff, make sure the parents have the tools to enforce.

  • Monopoly Go is the highest-budget video game so far.

    Jump

  • To be honest, I think there is diminishing returns on more money (look at star citizen for example).

    I feel like it would end up a live service game (where the extra money results in content over a long period of time) or just become bloated.

  • Hosting virtualbox for my students

    Jump

  • Yeah, that would be my recommendation too. Anything else will produce a worse experience (laggy and slow) and more complexity to get setup/maintain.

  • Is the U.S. Vulnerable to a Drone Sneak Attack?

    Jump

  • I mean, this has always been true, the drones only close the gap by miles. The big issue with the drone attack was Ukraine ability to sneak explosives deep into Russian territory. The delivery mechanism of drones may make it more accurate, but it could have been rockets/mortars and the effect would have been the same.

  • For the first time, social media overtakes TV as Americans’ top news source

    Jump

  • Yeah, I was going to say that TV wasn't much of a news source to begin with. The real issue is that social media for news is probably worse - now everyone can be spoonfed the news they want.

  • Is there a song in a foreign language you like the melody to but didnt know the lyrics?

    Jump

  • Modern Programming

    Jump

  • Maybe?

    For C at least it doesn't have the actual words, so you need to know what the specific symbols are var = condition ? a : b. In that expression we don't know what a or b are in regards to the condition.

    Python literally is a if condition else b, so it reads out what is being done.

  • Modern Programming

    Jump

  • I think the idea is it reads more naturally, so you can read it like this return A if statement is true else return B

  • Sen. Alex Padilla is forcibly removed from DHS Secretary Kristi Noem's news conference

    Jump

  • He was detained!! They handcuffed him!

    What is this forcibly removed nonsense. They handcuffed a senator who wanted to know what DHS is doing in HIS state!

  • It's good work

    Jump

  • Yeah, I've always known that musical episodes are decisive, but to me the songs are part of what make the show. It's clear the people making the show have struggled with that fact too as their "spinoff" Central Park on AppleTV was a musical TV show and the Bob's burgers movie had three very big musical numbers.

  • It's good work

    Jump

  • It's such a shame that they've clearly scaled back the amount of music (musical scenes) in the episodes.

  • Eight US states seek to outlaw chemtrails – even though they aren’t real

    Jump

  • Yeah, I guess that's an issue with trying to aggregate college quality at the state level. Both your list and US News & World Report have Utah and Georgia surprisingly high on their lists.

    If you actually just look at top schools you'll see New York, California, North Carolina, Pennsylvania are listed a lot.

    Not bashing Florida, just not where people typically think of elite colleges/universities. That being said education is such a personal thing that the best school for someone is not necessarily the best "ranked" school.
