- Comment on Docker Hub's trust signals are a lie — and Huntarr is just the latest proof 3 days ago:
Fair! I’m not giving enough credit to the fact that some applications don’t really have another option than to run root for some dependencies
- Comment on Docker Hub's trust signals are a lie — and Huntarr is just the latest proof 4 days ago:
I know it’s not the issue here really but
the container runs as root
That’s why we need to push for more self hosted containers to support running rootless. There’s no reason for it other than laziness IMHO.
It’s wild to me how many people will jump through a bunch of other random security hoops but not blink an eye about running containers as root

Yeah honestly I went back and read your OP and it sounds like maybe you straight up got a counterfeit unit or something? That’s wild. If genuine replacement parts don’t fit that’s super whack

Something that I’ve learned over the years is that a lot of times what separates cheaper or more expensive brands or higher prestige brands from lower prestige brands is quality control.
In the world of guitars, for example, you can get some amazing deals if you’re willing to deal with buying a guitar that might need a lot of work to be set up properly after you bring it home. Or maybe you’ll be lucky and the one you get will be totally fine and require zero setup.
Nowadays for most products I just assume if I’m spending half the money I’m probably not getting half the value. Instead the lower price means I’m accepting the risk of a 70% chance of proper QC’d unit rather than 95% for the more expensive one.
The problem is it’s basically impossible to know the real rates for these things unless you’re a dealer who sees a high volume and can analyze return rates and stuff so it’s kind of a crapshoot. If I’m buying something I feel confident I can fix or upgrade myself (guitar) I’ll happily save a bunch of money and deal with the risk. A lot of people have that level of experience with 3d printers

That’s a really good and reasonable idea, which is why I’m absolutely sure it will never happen 😢

This thread just reminded me to cancel mine. Good riddance IMHO. I should’ve done it back when they started spamming me with “quests” (aka ads) for Amazon and random fucking gatcha games. Between the privacy stuff and the pressure to monetize, there’s next to no way it’s gonna get better.

People are downvoting you because you’re being an ass, don’t give yourself too much credit

Isn’t 365 a combo subscription for word plus a bunch of other stuff? I can’t imagine many of those people are paying exclusively to use word

I’m not a great example since I’m a lemmy user, Linux user, and a million other things that makes me weird as a computer user. But I do have to exist in the modern world and file paperwork and shit just like everyone else, and I honestly don’t think I’ve had to interact with a docx file in at least 6 or 7 years. It’s all PDFs and web forms. Work is all Google Docs and confluence and that type of shit. It’s probably been 10 years since the last time I even opened an MS word client proper, once I left academia.
Anyway, I agree with you. Word seems deader than a door nail in terms of any text editing zeitgeist

Sony has been the publisher for a zillion games via SEI. They also own a bunch of actual game development studios.
They literally own Naughty Dog (The Last of Us, Uncharted, all the way back to Crash Bandicoot), Arrowhead Studios (Helldivers), Guerilla Games (Horizon) and now also Bungie (Destiny, Halo). That’s just a few of the big studios they own. Complete list here: www.gamesradar.com/playstation-studios-sony/

Some of the third party steam machines from 2015 actually had some distribution to Walmart stores. I saw it in the flesh!

Seriously. People wonder why politics in America has become a game of Jerry Springer style antics. Then you see people eat up garbage political “content” like this.
If you’re gonna spend your time focusing on politics, at least try to avoid wasting your regurgitating their circus PR events.

Yeah I don’t think people realize that the biggest advantage of owning is to lock yourself into a stable housing cost. Even before it’s paid off, you lock in a more or less stable monthly housing bill. Maintenance sucks, big ticket repairs suck. But you’re always going to need somewhere to live.
I bought a place ten years ago, and if I was renting the same house today it would be about double the mortgage. Sure, I highly doubt that doubling will happen again in another ten years. But I doubt even more that we will ever see the prices back at 2015 level.
