we did this in the late 2000s when schools banned chat programs. Just working in Google docs teach.

should also look into conduit or one of its siblings, normal synapse is a dog to run

Somerville has the community path (car free) that cuts across the city and works it’s way into Cambridge, making it super easy to get into Boston. Boston’s infra is not as good but it’s getting better.

yeah there’s a bigger tree further up this stretch that I constantly have to duck under

If that somehow magically happens in Massachusetts, I will personally go and slash their tires daily

This is generally done when you have customers with SSO, the first one will take the email and if the domain is ssod it forces them through a particular workflow. Otherwise you get the other normal username/password flow

Mahindra started out by cloning the Willys and they sell something relatively modern in the states called the Roxor

Your phrasing of the question implies a poor understanding. There’s nothing preventing you from running containers on bare metal.

My colo setup is a mix of classical and podman systemd units running on bare metal, combined with a little nginx for the domain and tls termination.

I think you’re actually asking why folks would use bare metal instead of cloud and here’s the truth. You’re paying for that resiliency even if you don’t need it which means that renting the cloud stuff is incredibly expensive. Most people can probably get away with a$10 vps, but the aws meme of needing 5 app servers, an rds and a load balancer to run WordPress has rotted people. My server that I paid a few grand for on eBay would cost me about as much monthly to rent from aws. I’ve stuffed it full of flash with enough redundancy to lose half of it before going into colo for replacement. I paid a bit upfront but I am set on capacity for another half decade plus, my costs are otherwise fixed.

I assume ppl still run bzflag servers

From my understanding and experience each device you’re logged into gets the hardware survey a few times a year.

TIOBE merely measures the number of questions asked about a particular language online, which is obviously not exactly realistic metric but people for some reason love to spout it

Ive actually been personally moving away from kubernetes for this kind of deployment and I am a big fan of using ansible to deploy containers using podman systemd units, you have a series of systemd .container files like the one below

[Unit]
Description=Loki

[Container]
Image=docker.io/grafana/loki:3.4.1

# Use volume and network defined below
Volume=/mnt/loki-config:/mnt/config
Volume=loki-tmp:/tmp/loki
PublishPort=3100:3100
AutoUpdate=registry

[Service]
Restart=always
TimeoutStartSec=900

[Install]
# Start by default on boot
WantedBy=multi-user.target default.target

You use ansible to write these into your /etc/containers/systemd/ folder. Example the file above gets written as /etc/containers/systemd/loki.container.

Your ansible script will then call systemctl daemon-reload and then you can systemctl start loki to finish the example

The Kde store UI is a bit lacking the screenshot browser has arrows all the way at the edges.

I uploaded three screens two of the configuration and one of the widget on a panel, expanded with all the advanced controls.

Edit: Ive reuploaded the images with the expanded widget first

Unironically their greatest movie.

That is some terminal biz brain right there.

Pretty solid gameplay so far, threw a tenner at them for the work

I think the gap you have is in understanding that Podman Compose was meant to line up with the limitations of docker’s compose, but technically is more capable.

Quadlet files let you do more complex workflows like deploying multiple copies of a service in your deployment that regular compose doesn’t, while not running full kube.

The use I have is that I have something deployed in compose right now that I’d like to scale up on the box since i have the capacity for it, but dont want to deal with a full kube setup or the politic

Personally I’ve converted most of my single node k3s to using quadlet files instead as its less fragile. I absolutely deploy single containers in the quadlet. They show up in journalctl and the ergonomics are great.

Hi, i believe this is where https://groups.google.com/g/django-developers/c/C_Phs05kL1Q

They’ve explained why

Ah good to know, shame it’s been left by the wayside a bit. Was super useful in the early days
