I have had to deal with dependency hells plenty, i am a Debian user after all.

But with that argument you’re now just running outdated shit in a container. Not a great pro-docker argument tbh.

What? Outdated junk running in containers because the maintainer didnt update their shit is not a real problem?

Seems that it is perhaps you who doesnt know how to use it.

Why not have the option for both?

I dont see how this is a defense for jamming everything in to a container.

It is always interesting to see that this scumbag corporate behavior is only made possible by the people handing them over money.

It is the same with advertising, if i didnt know any better it appears like people want advertisements all the time.

We, the people, are always outraged. However, we, the people, also arent willing to do anything about it. The power is in our hands.

Docker has its uses, but it has gone to far.

I already have a webserver with Apache, mariadb and everything. Why does your PHP based website only come as a docker solution? Fuck you.

When you go all in with docker, it quickly becomes a mess with rando NICs and containers named “random 32 character string” and dependencies up the wazoo. Ending up running ancient packages because the developer refuses to apt upgrade their shit.

Proxmox or any other hypervisor platform gives you control. Whereas you have to take it for docker and youre still at the mercy or the developers to keep your shit secure.

Not just commonwealth though, mainland Europe uses kettles too.

What’s wrong with making it optional?

I can’t use half my kitchen when having a migraine.

My 20 year old microwave has multiple beeps? Like soft ones when you press stuff, a couple of loud ones when it’s done. Some acoustic feedback is nice.

My recent kitchen appliances just beep the same volume regardless of what’s happening. To loud when using the device, to soft to properly notify you when completing a task. That air fryer experience hits close to home. Fuck modern appliances. Although my new washing machine is a shitload more efficient.

I don’t want smart tech, I want old fashioned pre 2008 dumb tech. Just make it home assistant compatible, kthx.

How are they casually finding these home assistant servers? I sure hope people dont have port 8123 exposed publicly like that? Are you all broadcasting it in to the ether?

It’s been that case since forever now. Nothing has really changed and the same rules still apply.

I still remember ‘hacking’ my ISP ADSL router 2+ decades ago and listening to the WAN interface. Hundreds of thousands of attempts per day in the early 2000s. Mostly US, Russia and China.

My personal #1 threat on the internet for the past 20 years has been DDOS and thanks to billions of IOT devices and privacy invading ‘smart’ appliances everywhere… The botnets have never been this plenty. DDOS as a Service for mere cents a day.

LLM’s joined the fray in recent years but it still can’t do anything it hasn’t learned from us humans.

My homelab has become a whole lot less fun with current memory and storage prices.

Minecraft uses a ton of that. Not a bad analogy i suppose.

Netflix has been listing piracy as their biggest competition for a couple of years now.

It is the threat to corpos we think it is. They are using and bending the legal system rather than treating it as actual competition. Which is a direct threat to our freedom.

After setting up my own Jellyfin, i just cant stand paid streaming. It is like going back a decade experience wise with a 90s experience in quality.

Who knew VHS water and night artifacts would still be common in 2026.

They’ve attempted to kill off java several times. It’s been second graded for years now in development. Geyser became a chore, using bedrock for java isnt fun anymore(it ran so much smoother, i kinda miss it). The list of bedrock exclusive features keeps growing each patch.

Not just the streamers, Java’s community is massive thanks to Bukkit, Spigot, Paper and the like. They know that dropping java would just result in a fork to a clone. As the majority of the Minecraft community infrastructure is not dependent on Mojang and Microsoft.

The tools used dont change the core principles which in Debians case is the social contract.

Slop is never going to get through any serious quality control.

If it comes, it comes. Will be a shame. But until then I will happily keep using it.

Wait until they find out AI is used in the Linux kernel.
