It’s going to be. Don’t have any hopes for it, just don’t. In fact, I’d argue just don’t see it unless we hear that it’s phenomenal for some reason after it’s been released.
I was trying to describe to my MIL (who hasn’t seen the Hobbit movies) how they were bad. I ended up with
Do you remember the barrel scene in the Hobbit? How would you describe it?
“It’s kind of where Bilbo really felt his confidence, where he tried the ring for the first time and rescued the dwarves, and they snuck out down the river to the city”
Great great, and do you remember the battalion of orcs trying to kill them while they went downstream with Legolas and Tauriel doing sweet kick flips over them, while Bombur bounced around jokingly killing a dozen of them, and then Fili having a moment of weakness for his elf princess love while he opened the gate and then he gets shot with a poisoned arrow?
…no
Well there you go.
They took one of the most endearing moments of the book and made it a joke. No, they cannot recreate the Lord of the Rings. Even if you don’t like PJ’s version, there’s just no way modern Hollywood can do to improve on it.
Still haven’t watched rings of power, probably not now that I cancelled Prime after the ad fiasco.
Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War were fun - but very non canon.
Anyone who bought Gollum at all should take what you’re saying to heart. Zero true fans of the Middle Earth world would put any money down for that game. If anyone bought it because they were a fan they deserved to lose their money, zero of the marketing material looked like it was going to be a quality product or decent addition to the story.
2020 it was just a postcard. They don’t send someone to your house unless there’s a discrepancy or you didn’t fill it out. Anyone could fill it out from your house too, but it should be head of household.
Yeah, I know, took a couple watchthroughs to get it at first but this was their own arrogance really showing. They couldn’t be bothered just to show a bit of encouragement.
Just having 8 of them being spammed on the page at once. I’ll say they were funny, and I’m american. But it quickly became spammy. At least spread them out over a few days
and I find misinformation about topics like this also to be rude. It’s perfectly fine if you don’t understand something, but what I don’t like is you going out of your way to dissuade people from using a product when I don’t think you understand the core concepts of it. If you have valid criticisms like security of docker then that’s a different conversation about securing containers, but it’s hard to take them as valid criticisms if the criticism is based on a fundamental misunderstanding of the product.
I don’t think anyone I have ever talked to professionally or read about docker would ever describe a dockerfile as “scripts for setting up software”. It is much more nuanced then that.
So yes, I’m a bit rude about it. I do this professionally and I’m very tired of people who don’t understand containerization explain to me how containerization sucks.
Your first sentence proves that it’s different. The developer needs to know it’s going to be a Deb package. What about rpm? What about if it’s going to run on mac? Windows? That means they’ll have to change how they develop to think about all of these different platforms. Oh you run windows - well windows doesn’t have openssl, so we need to do this vs that.
I’d recommend reading up on docker and containerization. It is not a script for setting up software. If that’s what you’re thought is then you really don’t understand containerization and I recommend taking some learnings on it. Like it or not it’s here, and if you’re doing any dev/ops work professionally you will be left behind for not understanding it.
This is a really bad take. I’m all for OSS, but that doesn’t mean that there isn’t value with things like Docker.
Yes, developers know less about infra. I’d argue that can be a good thing. I don’t need my devs to understand VLANs, the nuances of DNS, or any of that. I need them to code, and code well. That’s why we have devops/infra people. If my devs to know it? Awesome, but docker and containerization allows them to focus on code and let my ops teams figure out how they want to put it in production.
As for OSS - sure, someone can come along and make an OSS solution. Until then - I don’t really care. Same thing with cloud providers. It’s all well and good to have opinions about OSS, but when it comes to companies being able to push code quickly and scalably, then yeah I’m hiring the ops team who knows kubernetes and containerization vs someone who’s going to spend weeks trying to spin up bare iron machines.
I’ll answer your question of why with your own frustration - bare metal is difficult. Every engineer uses a different language/framework/dependencies/whathaveyou and usually they’ll conflict with others. Docker solves this be containing those apps in their own space. Their code, projects, dependencies are already installed and taken care of, you don’t need to worry about it.
Take yourself out of homelab and put yourself into a sysadmin. Now instead of knowing how packages may conflict with others, or if updating this OS will break applications, you just need to know docker. If you know docker, you can run any docker app.
So, yes, volumes and environments are a bit difficult at first. But it’s difficult because it is a standard. Every docker container is going to need a couple mounts, a couple variables, a port or two open, and if you’re going crazy maybe a GPU. It doesn’t matter if you’re running 1 or 50 containers on a system, you aren’t going to get conflicts.
As for the security concerns, they are indeed security concerns. Again imagine you’re a sysadmin - you could direct developers that they can’t use root, that they need to be built on OS’s with the latest patches. But you’re at home, so you’re at the mercy of whoever built the image.
Now that being said, since you’re at their mercy, their code isn’t going to get much safer whether you run it bare-iron or containerized. So, do you want to spend hours for each app figuring out how to run it, or spend a few hours now to learn docker and then have it standardized?
I don’t think that’s the architecture of ActivityPub though. It’s not meant to be a queryable thing, or a datastore. It only sends deltas, and it’s your job to keep the data you care about and apply the changes as they come through. It’s why when an instance subscribes to a community it never has before there is no history, because it doesn’t have any. (I think Lemmy goes and gets one page though)
