  • Three Docker related questions

    Jump
    1. Portainer is practical, but I switched to Dockge and have been much happier with it. It doesn't have all of the bells and whistles, but the simplicity makes the workflow much better for me. Give both a try!
    2. FreshRSS for RSS feeds, Lubelogger for tracking car (other other things) maintenance, Nginx Proxy Manager for a reverse proxy (or Caddy which is also popular). Whatever you fancy!
    3. Not sure.

    Regarding domain name, use what you have. It's super easy to change domain names, and some people do it regularly to take advantage of 1st year sales. Basically all you have to do is transfer your DNS entries to the new domain, and update your reverse proxy entries.

    Definitely put everything behind a reverse proxy. I followed this advice so I don't even have to expose ports using Docker. Everything runs through the reverse proxy, and Dockge makes it trivial add each container to the same network.

  • Citronella candles and torches don't repel mosquitos, but they mask the scent of humans. This helps, but not 100%.

    DEET doesn't mask your scent, so mosquitos are still attracted to you. Once they land on your skin, though, they fly away immediately. Very effective.

    Propane based traps work very well for collecting large numbers of mosquitos. There isn't a definitive answer on whether they reduce the local mosquito population over time. The idea is that if large numbers are killed, it will reduce the local breeding.

    Thermacell brand mosquito repellers are, IMO, magic. At first I thought they were a gimmick, but my impression of them is very positive. They output a light chemical mist which keeps mosquitoes away. They only work with little to no wind, and they take 15 minutes to warm up and start working.

  • You want to pick your own MAC? At least you can set it to not be random for a specific network.

  • Each instance admin can check a box to require email. It reduces spam accounts and reduces work for admins because users can perform password resets themselves.

  • I may have gotten sucked into the .ml user's what-about-ism, but I started off by just trying to point out the flaw in their logic.

    System, personal choice, whatever -- it doesn't really matter because .ml user is trying to spin facts to support their agenda. I don't know what their agenda is other than just being contentious.

  • Ah, so you do understand there's a difference in why someone would chose one type of transportation over another.

  • I think your logic is flawed. The discussion is about a specific form of transportation. By your own logic, you should be suggesting that people fly everywhere.

  • I've been in a similar chamber (Hypobaric instead of nitrogen). I remember everything because I was a chicken and put my mask back on at the very first sign something was off. One of the other participants couldn't /wouldn't put their own mask back on. It's interesting to witness.

  • Depending on the group using it, you can apply for a Community plan to enable mobile push notifications. I do wish Zulip would use UnifiedPush or something like that, or even allow your own ntfy setup, but I'm placated by the Community plan.

  • Zulip paywalls mobile notifications, but you can apply for a Community subscription which is free, and includes mobile notifications.

  • IRC is too difficult for normal people to figure out. Normals don't know how to /join, /nick, and all that other stuff. People want a username and password, because that's a standard thing that everyone knows.

    Even Matrix is too complicated for most people.

    IRC serves a purpose, but judging by the success of Discord there's obviously something lacking from IRC.

  • Selfhosting with a seven year old

  • Yeah... I hesitated to hit "submit", but figured the courts would rule in our favor because courts have a good sense of humor!

  • Tiny yes, but IMO getting the attention of computer gamers needs to be the next step if a Linux flavor is going to become a household name.

    Even if it's "SteamOS" that becomes the household name instead of "Linux" that's still good overall. Maybe it'll turn into how people used to say they had "Droid" smartphones, not Android.

  • That's a fair idea, I didn't realize it was an option to share customized KDE setups but that definitely makes sense.

  • If it interests you, try it. If it doesn't interest you, don't install it.

    Not all software projects need to be developed by teams of people with published release cycles. There are lots of passion projects out there.

  • Union dues

    Jump

  • There's also no accountability for companies and it has been like that for way too long. Look at Starbucks... some stores unionized so they just closed the stores and fired everyone. Completely illegal, but no consequences for the company. They succeeded in scaring the rest of the baristas, though, so mission accomplished.
