re: computer complaining, docker, containers, why god
you know i'm starting to think that this whole "docker" thing might be "fucking bullshit" and "a scam designed for cloud engineers with infinity resources at gigantic megacorporations" instead of "a reasonable technology for human beings"
The correct answer to the question "do #audiobooks count as reading?" is not a simple yes or no. It's "yes, now please stop gatekeeping".
Edit: adoptiert!

Hat jemand basteltechnisch Verwendung für eine defekte Anker Power Core Essential 20.000 mAh Powerbank?
Sie scheint nicht mehr zu laden, etwas daran aufzuladen ging aber, daher denke ich, dass nur ein Kabel an den Anschlüssen irgendwo ne Macke hat? Der Akku ist auch nicht aufgebläht.
Kann man damit durch ausschlachten was anfangen? Ich fand's schade, die einfach wegzuhauen, falls sie nur nen reparierbaren Defekt hat.
Falls wer möchte, sagt Bescheid.
If you want a practical example, here's one: a lot of edge cases are simply not supported in "digitalized" versions of government processes, because it would be prohibitively expensive to develop support for those few edge cases; things that could previously be handled on a case-by-case basis by a government employee just fine. And now they just can't, because the 'offline' infrastructure is no longer there.
Every once in a while I am reminded of how fucked it is that we're almost forcibly moving all social and bureaucratic processes 'online', without ever recognizing that all those things that "nobody wants to host" and "nobody wants to be responsible for" are now just outright impossible, even though they were widespread and perfectly fine things to do 'offline' before.
(This may sound like it's referencing a specific thing but it's not - there are *so many* things that this applies to)
(All of these are obviously subject to change as culture and expectations change, they're just the best summary that I can give of my current approach)
My protest photo boosting policy, broadly:
- I will not boost photos that do not include descriptive text in either alt text, post body, or somewhere in the replies.
- I will not generally boost protest photos without CW; I sometimes make a case-by-base exception when the focus of the post is clearly on the solidarity and coming together, and not the world's misery.
- For photos that show faces, I will try to make a best guess on their context and consequences to decide whether to boost them. Depends on where they come from, pose, topic, and some other things.
- I am slightly (but only slightly) more lenient for photos from Dutch protests, as current protest and photography culture here are different.
Okay, after reading this email, I can shut down my computer and change jobs:
'Dear colleague, the fact that our software does not function after 24 hours is perfectly expected. It depends on many dependencies, and we do not have complete control over all of them. For this reason, we suggest, as a standard practice, a service restart every 12 hours. This will ensure everything functions correctly.
And as a general recommendation, we always suggest restarting all services (if you are using Docker) or the entire server (if you are using a traditional setup) every 3 days, as systems tend to get bogged down over time and need to be optimized.'
CW-boost: description of psychological domestic abuse, reference to other types
Every time someone on fedi explains that lots of small instances "just doesn't scale" I smile and go "GOOD " in my head.
Is it a cool feature of fedi if it's expensive to have thousands and thousands of followers? Yep
Are there scaling problems for normal people who interact with a normal amount of people? Nope
Should we care? Nah

- No alt text (request) = no boost.
- Boosts OK for all boostable posts.
- DMs are open.
- Flirting welcome, but be explicit if you want something out of it!
- The devil doesn't need an advocate; no combative arguing in my mentions.
Sometimes horny on main (behind CW), very much into kink (bondage, freeuse, CNC, and other stuff), and believe it or not, very much a submissive bottom :p
My spoons are limited, so I may not always have the energy to respond to messages.
Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.
