the bad news is both companies are in their enshittification stage, paywalling features and trying to sell you crappy ai shit

Awh, I was really hoping this was just Docker advertising itself as good for deploying AI. Running neural networks usually means running Python, and Python package management with CUDA is so hard that (in practice) you'll just see people providing a Docker container. Some kind of "Docker AI Hub" would make sense as a product.

Looked it up, nope, it's "we'll generate your Dockerfile for you!" which is very very stupid :(

but when i've tried using podman for postmill development, it crashed, and for deploying services, i couldn't get ansible to work with it. which is weird, because ansible is also a red hat product.

Oh yeah, this was my experience too (sans ansible). I wanted to use Podman for the same reasons you listed.

Actually, according to my notes, first I tried setting up a Conduwuit server to get connected to the Matrix using Podman. So, that's two marks against it. Which is strange, since it should be the same API around the same Linux tools, where the only difference is the containers can't use root, which they shouldn't be doing anyways...

I do think containers are a bandaid for having too many dependencies or a workaround for people who don't want to make their software easy to deploy. Like you shouldn't have to ship an entire inner OS with runtime and everything, it should just compile and run. Sometimes that's not feasible for valid reasons, but often it's a way to get away with having a bad release process or having your software too complicated to set up.

I dislike that it's tied to a Company

well the good news is that thanks to oci, it's tied to two companies, the other being red hat with podman

the bad news is both companies are in their enshittification stage, paywalling features and trying to sell you crappy ai shit

anyway, in theory i like podman more than docker. like the problem with docker is if you're root in a container, you're root in real life, and podman solves that with some file ownership abstraction thing or something. podman containers also run without a daemon, which is nice.

but when i've tried using podman for postmill development, it crashed, and for deploying services, i couldn't get ansible to work with it. which is weird, because ansible is also a red hat product.

so my take is that ansible will be nicer, when it's fixed.

Yeah, I get that. I think I'm an "old ways" person too (thank u weird people who got me into linux in 2009). Docker just feels like the "right" way for me to do the "old ways" things I've been doing.

Lots of gotchas (isolation but no security benefits at all ??? every container gets host root ???) but lots of "I-gotchya-buddy" too. (That's Docker saying "I gotchya buddy", because it loves u)

I worked with it like 8 years ago and didn't like it; that's just down to it being much less mature back then, and also me not wanting to learn it.

The OCI standard is pretty mature now and there's a lot better tooling. I should stop being a curmudgeon and learn how to use it to be honest, but i'm a grouch who likes to do things the old way.

I'd love to hear more; I dislike that it's tied to a Company but I don't know enough to have qualms with the tooling. I'm still in the honeymoon phase with Dorker

:O

i think docker's API is stupid; it's a bad wrapper around linux containers but there's not an actually good wrapper around it. so OCI is the best we have. and OCI is just like... docker but meant to be more open of a standard so we don't need docker specifically.

Containers are a good idea but I just don't like the tooling.

i call it dorker

now, if only i had something else i could call docker...

The moderation rollback is one thing, particularly because it didn't seem to be working in the first place. Like there's multiple family members of mine who's lives have been made measurably worse due to facebook shit, I'm not sure how it could be worse. It's the weird gleeful rollback on everything else that gets to me, from employee support programs disappearing to removing pride themes from apps to removing pads from mens toilets (???). All this needless shit and conservatives still hate facebook

well, have you considered this rust implementation that's 2 years old and based on a defunct framework?

actually i'm tired and just want to use phpbb

I do hope so

Surely this will be what gets the queer gen Z community off the Maga Genocide Hatespeech AI Cryptocoin Site, now that it's featuring 200% more Transphobia

i have not. all my raspberry pi projects start with 'i'll definitely finish the project i've set out to do this time', and end with 'ah, oh well'.

Netboot is kind of a pain in the neck IME. But I have very limited experience with it

1. i assume netboot is magic and that's beautiful

Why would you need to netboot them? I think it's likely depending on the size of your cluster you could just script up an install process and only just install kubernetes on them

Also consider this an open offer for me to give you my Raspberry Pis for free. I think they would be better suited in your hands than in mine!

and he keeps winning lmao

crazy that people on the rug pull website got rug pulled
