Docker doesn’t require podman at all
Podman isn’t an addon for docker. Podman is the open source alternative containerizer to docker. When I first encountered Docker’s AI Bonzai buddy called Gordon, Lemmy responded with, “Lol, everyone knows to not run Docker.”
No, I am aguing that if you were capable of setting up Cisco BGPs in the mid-90s, when documentation was ass,
Documentation was far more thorough and accurate than today. First was everything was simpler. No VMs, No Containers. No https certificates unless they were e-commerce. The second reason is that documentation wasn’t an afterthought because the project is done by volunteers. I got a 100+ page binder from Netscape just to cover how to configure their build kit. (The software to make a customized installation CD.)
The last important factor was the rate of change was slower so the documentation you got in 1996 was still completely accurate in 1999.

Jellyfin but you not being able to follow a dead simple guide.
The fact that others had the same problem without solution means it isn’t follow a dead simple guide. There are multiple guides. Just setting up docker means you have to already know to not use it and run podman. Because if you follow the online guides on docker’s own website, you end up with a docker gui and their AI assistant installed.
And to think you were running a whole ass ISP…
You are arguing that setting up an Internet server is as simple as it was 30 years ago. You are arguing for the sake of arguing.

Not at Cisco. With a Cisco. I ran a mid sized ISP in the 90’s until I was bought out by a cable company and retired. Although several of my employees went on to work at Cisco. I also had a few friends who were executives at Cisco because we all started at a company working for Vint Cerf and Bob Khan (they were the angel investors) back before most knew of the Internet.
First it’s a VM because I’m not going mess around with stuff on bare metal. Create docker is a can of worms because you have to pick a reverse proxy software like nginx, traefik, caddy. Which means you need to understand all three to know which to pick. Then there’s setting up the certificate with the dns provider. So I got nginx working with a certificate but gave up after the VM running Jellyfin couldn’t see it. Googling showed someone on Reddit with the same problem but no answer other than others saying “works for me”

The start of this thread is “number one reason people don’t move to Jellyfin is ease of remote access.”
30 years ago I was compiling slackware and configuring dns servers, and setting up BGP on Ciscos. But a few hours of attempting to setup Jellyfin was a failure. It was far more complex than setting up dns/bind.

That’s fine for your personal remote access but that doesn’t help your 80 year old mother in law watch videos of the grandchildren on a Roku.
- Comment on 3D printing for beginners 1 week ago:
At the $900 price point, which is the price of the X2D, I’d get a Snapmaker U1. You will need to set it up for her (print heads and tubing need to be installed) but once running it is easy to use, reliable, and 4 seperate heads means it’s far faster and less waste than an X2D.
Alternate would be an Anycubic Kobra X for $300. It’s multicolor with low purge waste and might be a good starter printer instead of jumping right to high end and then having it sit.

“Our business today is not healthy,” Sharma declared in a July letter to Xbox employees.
Sharma, formerly the president of product within Microsoft’s CoreAI division and a chief operating officer at Instacart, made her first 100 days at Xbox a high-stakes campaign to win over hearts and minds.
The most expensive tier of Game Pass, a subscription service with hundreds of new and old games? Discounted. Console mascots on competing platforms? Throttled. The clumsy integration of artificial intelligence? Nixed.”
- Comment on "Ultimately, we asked 'why are we doing this?'": the creators of Arc Raiders wildly underestimated how hard it is to make a live service game 3 weeks ago:
I was arguing this 20 years ago when people were complaining about Kotor2. Kotor2 didn’t need more content. It needed to fix what was already there. Or even remove more so that the existing story could be completed instead of being cut off.
Instead most were saying Kotor2 would have been better if only it had the few more planets that were cut for time constraints.
The publishers learned that consumers want more content in a game even if it’s buggy and bad.
- Comment on DC UPS for router? 4 weeks ago:
I did that and it works well. The only problem is that when the battery goes to 0 on a long outage, the UPS can’t recharge it. I had to pull the battery, charge it with a lifepo4 charger, then reinstall.
Short outages are fine.

If you are using a buck converter you might as well use a ups. They’re both going to be ~ 95%.

Yeah a piece of wood the same thickness as the shelf on a hinge attached to the frame could swing out and support the shelf. When folded in it would be the same thickness as the shelf folded up.

That’s one nudge away from a disaster. I’d 3d print a shroud for the sata ports/connectors that uses the laptop base screws to hold it in place. That way the laptop could slide off the drive cage without every sata port snapping off.

Afghanistan 2002:
“During the night of April 17, 2002, an F-16 flown by the U.S. Air National Guard dropped a 500-pound bomb on a squad of Canadian soldiers near Kandahar, Afghanistan. The explosion killed four Canadian infantrymen and wounded eight others. The pilot of the plane, Maj. Harry Schmidt of the Illinois National Guard, claimed he believed the ground forces were attacking his commander and he had to act.
When the board of inquiry asked why Maj. Schmidt had engaged the target rather than pull away to safety, his defense was simple: He was high on drugs the Air Force gave him.”
- Comment on what printers do youlike? 1 month ago:
I have an Anycubic S1 and a Snapmaker U1. I really like the U1. 4 completely independent tool heads is huge not just for multicolor but for functional prints where you need to mix materials like TPU and have reliable removeable supports (by using PETG for supports which sticks to nothing but the build plate.)

General purpose tip for Gluing:
Isopropyl Alchohol in a spray mister will speed up Superglue bond time from minutes to seconds.
Mixing glues can be very useful. For example, I’ll use Epoxy for the hollow insides but a drop of Superglue where pieces fit together to hold the pieces together while the Epoxy cures overnight. UV glue is fantastic for that because it cures instantly. But a drop of Superglue with a spritz of alcohol works good too.
- Comment on Any tips on plastic adhesives? Trying to repair headphones 2 months ago:
The problem with uv glue is it needs light to cure. So it can’t be used to fill that broken area or inside the break itself. It can only coat the outside.
