I'm not sure why Docker would be a particularly good (or particularly bad) fit for the scenario you're referring to.

If you're suggesting that Docker could make it easy to transfer a system onto a new SD card if one fails, then yes that's true ... to a degree. You'd still need to have taken a backup of the system BEFORE the card failed, and if you're making regular backups then to be honest it will make little difference if you've containerised the system or not, you'll still need to restore it onto a new SD card / clean OS. That might be a simpler process with a Docker app but it very much depends on which app and how it's been set up.

Yes, I think that 'masquerading' is the key bit to grasp. The MITM Proxy isn't just intercepting the traffic, it alters the traffic as it passes through.

DigitalOcean's guides in general are pretty good for all sorts of things, whether it's a generic discussion of a concept like the ones you've posted, or a step-by-step guide for installing and configuring specific systems or software. Even if you're not using DO as a host, much of what they suggest is still very useful.

Do you want zombie orphans? Cos that's how you get zombie orphans. Listen to the AI, it's trying to save the world from becoming a dystopian TV series!

It's not a numbers game. "They killed one of our children" does NOT make it OK for us to kill one of their children.

Neither sausage-on-a-stick fast food nor sausage-in-a-bun fast food bear any resemblance to the traditional German way of serving wurst. Neither is "closer" they are both a million miles away from the original.

How is this supposed to be enforced? In a decade's time are shopkeepers going to have to challenge anyone buying a packet of fags who looks under 28? And then later it'll be "sorry mate, can you prove you're 44?" and so on.

That looks amazing. In the last year or two I've found a pretty good, reliable dough recipe, but I'm never really satisfied with the tomato sauce I use. Do you have a recipe you stick to?

markdown support

If you are on (or migrate to) a server using the Glitch-Social fork of Mastodon, you'll get markdown support. It's a game-changer, in my opinion. (glitch-soc has lots of other nice features too, btw).

systemd [is] a niche

Maybe in the wider world of all the operating systems installed on all the computers, but for Linux-based computing it is, like it or not, near ubiquitous these days. And in particular for server systems (and this is, after all, /m/selfhosted), good luck finding something that isn't systemd-based unless you're deliberately choosing a BSD or aiming for a system which has ever-decreasing amounts of support available.

what if I'm not using CoreOS?

Podman runs on any distro (or more strictly: any distro that uses systemd). It's essentially a FOSS alternative to Docker.

This post is generating waves of nostalgia for /r/Fryup for me. We need somewhere on the Fediverse to post, lust over and critique other people's fry-ups.
