I’m with you, but language has a scary amount of influence over how people perceive the world around them.

It’s going to be a sad day when I have to replace my gas oven and stove with electric appliances. There’s something deeply ingrained in humans that draws us to fire.

Using podman-compose, I usually have a section like:

volumes:
    - ./local_folder:/container/folder

Specifically, I have to use either an absolute path or a relative path with “./” to prevent it from treating a directory as a volume name.

My practical answer: Nah, it’s probably not going to nuke your files.

My software engineer answer: Never trust us to not make a mistake. It doesn’t take much to accidentally nuke a directory.

Agreed, for me containers are really nice for playing with new software without dirtying my host install.

I’m actually almost completely unfamiliar with Nginx, short of a few hours of tinkering. NginxProxyManager is a direct competitor to Caddy, with a graphical interface, SSL cert creation and auto-renew, etc. I’m not going to say to switch from Caddy, since there’s probably no major benefit, but it’s much nicer than trying to figure out Nginx reverse proxies by hand.

I think the problem is that normal consumers wouldn’t ever buy a tape drive, so the only options still being produced are enterprise grade. The tapes are still pretty cheap, but the drives are absurd.

I really want to use tape for backups, but holy expensive. Those tape drives are thousands of dollars.

I’m going to cast another vote for a reverse proxy, such as NginxProxyManager. It’s really easy to set everything up, and they’re usually very easy to run in Docker/Podman.

One thing to note: if you end up with a domain with mandatory HSTS, you’ll have to use DNS-based certificate generation rather than HTTP based, since unencrypted HTTP is blocked (chicken/egg problem to get HTTPS working). It’s not hard, but you have to be aware of that limitation.

My understanding is that higher frequency == more refraction, visible or not. So in theory, x and gamma radiation should also experience more refraction. Though I wonder at what point (it any) something too high energy can somehow “pierce” through a medium rather than refracting.

Isn’t that because blue is higher frequency and therefore refracts more than the other colors?

The build approval process actually stripped out all comments via a script.

Thanks, Satan.

I never said they caused it by choice, but I promise you it’s easier to move out of an expensive place than to move into one.

They’re living in a crowded place. They caused it by definition.

I ended up scoring a free lifetime membership years ago, but is their stuff open source? I never fully trusted it, so I didn’t end up using it for anything

Lol, I’m not bitching at the “victims” you nerd. I’m pointing out the absurdity of living in a sardine can instead of relocating to a place, any place, that is better and less densely populated and cheaper to live than LA.

There comes a point where people stop being victims, and willingly subjecting oneself to living in an overpriced, overpopulated, crime ridden city is entirely self inflicted.

Wow, for prices comparable to rent in most other states?

I have a crazy idea: move elsewhere.

My jaw damn near hit the floor when I got the offer. A lot of it is wrapped up in stocks, but the base salary is 175k with a cash signing bonus of 160k spread across the first two years’ paychecks.

Despite that (and even when saving quite aggressively), I still can’t afford more than my tiny condo in my area. It’s silly.

A pretty limited subset right now, but it has the most important ones.
