I really like theses results:

"Recent findings show adult New Zealanders who do not speak te reo Māori (the Māori language, the indigenous language of New Zealand) nonetheless have impressive implicit lexical and phonotactic knowledge of the language. (…)

Our results show that ambient exposure leads to implicit knowledge both in childhood and adulthood, and that continuing exposure throughout the lifespan leads to increased knowledge."

@tursilion 😂😂😂 sorry I've posted several Protracker tunes now and if I include the chiptune hashtag I inevitably get a "YOU IDIOT!" from people who are no doubt very cool & have lots of friends 😂 Thanks for taking the time to listen to my nonsense! Sorry I haven't been on here much. Life has been hard and this whole tune was done on my lunch break, as usual. What I wouldn't give for more free time.

@tursilion yeah, I mean, it's still computer generated music, right? The splitting of hairs seems a little weird to me, but whatever. Thanks for the well wishes! At least I still have my toys for when I actually do have downtime. Speaking of which I recently got a 386 with a Soundblaster card. It has an Arduino CH375 for mass storage so I made a bootable USB flash drive and threw Reality Adlib Tracker on there. Bit by bit I will have a chiptune on almost every system and soundcard!

It's getting hot these days. Mind if I shed some fur to cool off? 😏

#mountains fascinate me, especially the #alps. I just get all relaxed and happy when I'm walking around. The ruggedness and the feeling of being the first person walking there is what gets to me. Also the history of the places. These mountains have been there for so long, and there has happend so much. Just imagining what it must have been for the pre-historic people to walk, hunt and live there is awesome.

Oh, right. I'm seeing olympics stuff so it must be a leap-year again. As they have a 4-year cadence instead of being every year, I always manage to completely forget about sports after each of these… just in time for another one to come round, it seems. I find it hard to understand how people are still interested in this stuff after this many times.

"OK folks! Now it's time to write the spec for USB C extension cables and USB C to A adapters. Thoughts?"

"What if we just don't standardise those? We just say in the spec that they're disallowed."

"But extension cables are pretty essential, sometimes there's no alternative. People are going to make them whether they're allowed by the spec or not. So won't every company that makes one do it a bit differently, and they'll all be broken in slightly different ways?"

"Yes, exactly."

Everytime I look up advice/details of how to do something on Linux and the project/guide doesn't explain what to do, but instead has a docker image, my resolve to never use docker increases a little bit more.

I get why docker exists and I'm not saying that it's not useful but wow I really do not want the question "How do I do x" to be answered with "Use this docker image"

The year is 2034. The Linux command "man" is now distributed as a Docker image. To find out how to deploy it, you have to join a Discord server, the client for which is also distributed as a Docker image.

@tryst funny thing on that. For Mint, the only listed install for discord is flatpak, which is a docker image. It's a 1.8GB download and the image is unable to log into discord for me. It goes into a captcha loop.
This Reddit post kinda sums up how I feel about docker:

Honestly if you like docker then that's great but here me out:

Docker on enterprise servers? ✅ Yep
Docker instead of VMs? ✅ Sure why not?
Docker because you want to? ✅ Of course!
Docker on a single board computer for one job? ❌ Nonononono please just tell me the steps involved so I can learn how the system works!

The Vargarnir system mastodon (AP)
I've got a couple of things running in Docker on SBCs that are the ony thing doing anything on that machine. it's kinda overkill, but it allows me to more easily intergrate it into my larger remote management system, and makes monitoring, alerting, and updates a looot easier.

@garrwolfdog Sorry I didn't mean to come across as "never use docker at all" but that I dislike that answers have in some cases become "use this docker image"

For example I want a SBC to monitor the temperature of my hot water tank. The first guide I found said that I should use multiple docker images to provide Prometheus and Grafana, and other guides were similar.

In the end Darac pointed me to Munin and that's exactly what I want. :)

@garrwolfdog Like in your case if you're already au fait with docker and it fits into your network then it makes sense, but for me who's still running servers with multiple services for an internal home network I'd prefer to have the details of how to configure it myself :)

It wouldn't be an issue if it was "here's how to do it from scratch but also there's a docker image if you want" but I keep seeing guides that are "you must use docker"

The Vargarnir system mastodon (AP)
I'm not totally sure I follow. Even if you're using docker you still need to configure things as much as you would if you were setting it up on bare-metal. the only real difference if that you don't need to compile the binarries yourself and it will have kind of sandbox to run in. unless you're wanting to tinker with the source code itself, I guess?
Ooor this might just be confusion about how docker works? it can be alittle unclear, tbh.

@garrwolfdog Sorry let me clarify; I know nothing about docker and the first time I tried to follow one of these guides I ran into a problem with no way of being able to troubleshoot the fault. I couldn't find an easy answer of how to look at the logs or files within the docker so I had no idea what was going on.

That one did have all the code/scripts/etc not in a docker image and the first time I ran all that I found the fault straight away just by looking at the system logs.

@garrwolfdog @garrwolfdog It turned out that the python code was pointing to a folder that didn't exist. Changing that code fixed the problem, but the docker image pulled the code directly from the GitHub so short of forking the project and making my own changes directly from there I wasn't able to find a way to change the files in the docker container
@garrwolfdog I guess my point is that while I'm futsing around with my own little projects I know how to troubleshoot if it doesn't work. I've no idea how to do that on a docker container and I haven't yet found anything that explains it in a way I can understand, if it even is possible to troubleshoot like one would for a bare metal machine.
Kootenay mastodon (AP)
@garrwolfdog Really, each container is just a little Linux server running in its own space on top of actual Linux. You can get into it and see the filesystem with 'docker exec <container id|name> -ti /bin/bash’.
Incoming network connections are mapped (on startup) from your host to the container.
Logs may be in /var/log in the container, or sometimes it's set to go to stderr, in which case use 'docker logs <container> -f' to see them.
You know all this, then you can debug. :)
The Vargarnir system mastodon (AP)
Yikes! yeeeeeah, that is NOT how you should be building your container images. The whole point of containerisation is to avoid problems like that! no one should be releasing images that pull no-versioned locked code from 3rd party sources; that's dodgy as hell!

@garrwolfdog That's how I've seen a lot of people using it for small projects, hence my aversion to it in small projects.

I've always seen it as one of those things that you have to know/be invested in learning before you use it in a production environment but some people are treating it like FlatPak/AppImage

The Vargarnir system mastodon (AP)
honesty, if you're running self-hosted home systems, then it's worth learning how to use docker. it can make spinning up and testing out services sooo much quicker and clear.
@garrwolfdog I want to eventually when I can brain properly for it; I want to set up four TV channels running from a server and being output into an old hotel CATV distribution board, and having each channel in its own docker container would be helpful for monitoring them.

@Epoxy / Renby 💜🏳️‍⚧️ The reason I hate the idea of using docker is that I want/need to *understand* things properly before I use them. I love things like postfix, because it has a full set of man pages which explain every little detail of how to configure it and how it behaves, and it also has documentation designed to help you understand how to use it. Docker and git and various other things… I've never come across documentation that actually *helped*. The more complex it is, the more documentation is needed to explain it and the better organised that documentation needs to be. I have a bit of ambivalence regarding qemu - it's pretty much essential for my business, but the documentation is severely, *severely* lacking, to the point where I've had to refer to the source code. And even that is full of unexplained abstractions and very hard to understand.

Pippin friendica
@Epoxy / Renby 💜🏳️‍⚧️ Actually, thinking about this properly (and I haven't thought about docker other than in an "ew, no" way for a long time now) I suspect the thing that originally put me off was that, if I remember right, its normal mode of operation is to download stuff from unidentified, unexplained servers on the internet and execute it on my machine. This is kinda the same reason I don't like/use build systems that do that kind of thing, like pip and pear and composer and npm and so on. I just about trust Debian's distribution network so I'll install dependencies from there thankyouverymuch, stop trying to grab them from places I've never even heard of, and especially don't just replace whole dependencies with newer possibly-improved-possibly-compromised versions on a whim. I certainly don't want entire containers obtained that way.

Kay Ohtie mastodon (AP)

@pippin part of the point of the containers is to avoid the very issue it sounds like you're worried they cause. There are potential Escape Routes (usually if run with too many permissions) but the idea is almost more "I don't trust this to _not_ get compromised so I'm isolating this with limited connections for networking/data out of it" with the added benefit of "I also don't have to worry about package collisions or it fucking with local packages".

Outside of official containers I tend not to trust ones where I can't see the Dockerfile, and can read to see how the container image was built and what it'll do inside itself. Useful sometimes for writing my own Dockerfile stuff like for the mastodon image I use.

But yeah the dual purpose is definitely "contain" first, hence the name, with the benefit of "isolate libraries" second meaning if your container ever goes sideways you can just tear it down, and not have to worry about "alright what files got fucked up by building or package management?" And kinda making the data a little more portable. Definitely makes migrating/moving stuff a lot less painful.

I'm just very dubious about the benefits, haven't had the time and motivation to spend to learn this whole new thing, and haven't had any problems doing it the way I've always done it.
