Reply to My least favorite thing is some centrist pundit who styles themselves a bit of a progressive saying "so-called leftists are doing xyz." by flabberghaster
"Self-declared leftists are supporting maduro, Putin, and Assad. Whoever they think they're on the side of, it's not workers." Who even thinks this one? Yet I could dig up a blue sky post from a fairly mainstream person saying it. This one in particular bugged me with the equating of the three of them. But what leftist is supporting Putin?
Plenty of people like, don't want a war with Russia and think arming Ukraine is dangerous, and you can critique that if you want, but there's no "leftists" supporting Putin.

Reply to You know you've gone deep into being a reactionary when you find yourself asking why they introduced keepalive to HTTP by nitori
IDK I think there is a use for keeping the same stream open if you're a big website serving a lot of clients tbh. Each TCP handshake takes three packets minimum (unless you use TCP fastopen which is its whole own thing), and then if you want SSL on top of that there's even more latency, especially for slow connections, plus the computation, which is small per request but if you're a big site serving a lot of people it adds up. Even if you're not jamming your page full of ten trillion google ads it can add up.
Using the same connection again if you expect the client to make another one pretty soon makes a lot of sense.
I don't do web dev tho so what do I know.

i kind of do, but only because i think it's probably not good for there to be basically two OSes, windows and linux. And then there's mac but you can't just install that on any old commodity hardware so I don't really count it.
Diversity in technology is good.

There is somebody making an OCI implementation for BSD that uses jails instead of Linux containers. There is in principle no reason you couldn't use docker (I call it dorker) or something else like it that would just work roughly the same except that no one has finished implementing it.

It has the same problems as Linux did in the 2000s, namely small userbase and small developer base mean there's very poor driver support. Finding hardware that will work is not easy.
In my case there was a driver issue with my network card. The working driver had the same name as the broken driver so I had to rename the kernel module and copy my working one in. Not a good user experience.

I was briefly in a BSD server because I wanted to run it on my NAS so I could use ZFS in it's native environment but needed help debugging some driver issues.
The BSD people in there all hated Linux. It was kind of funny. And they have some pretty fair reasons but it was still funny what a chip they had on their shoulders.

If it had been any kind of POC, a trans person, an immigrant, or anyone even vaguely left of center it'd be a different story I think. But it was just some vaguely conservative school shooter coded guy so there's no hay to be made by them going apeshit over this one.

Reply to comment by devtesla in Is it possible the dems actually have something resembling a plan? by flabberghaster
This is I think one of the biggest reasons the dems are so useless as a party. It's not a party, it's a vehicle for individuals to advance themselves. At best, it's a brand.
There's no cohesive goals you can say the dems support. There's no room for one person to make a move that's risky and know the rest will have their back. It's all about individual careers.
Part of this sickness is how obsessed the strategists are with celebrity endorsements. I don't care if Charlie XCX likes kamala and I doubt many of her fans do either. A few weeks ago they were talking about a blitz primary hosted by Taylor swift. First of all why would swift do that, and second off why would people want that?
They don't treat the party as about trying to advance a political agenda, or their voters as people who have political desires. It's just brand management.

It's OVER, twovests.
Unless we can get five donations from you tonight, might as well give up.

I think it's a combination of panicked scrambling, combined with how Joe Biden is about the only guy who could lose to Trump, combined with a decently timed reveal that they were dumping him.
We'll see how it goes.
BTW copmalla sucks shit too.

It is not fixed, it still thinks it's an http site. If you changed docker-compose.yml, you'll also have to docker compose up -d.
