Being a terminal purist is wonderful for those of us who live our lives deep in the caverns of Linux, but in actual production use you very often find situations where less technical users have to interact with the systems that we build.

For my work, I need a way for low level tech support and technicians to go in and restart a container from time to time, and these people curl up in a ball and scream if you show them a command prompt. Having a UI removes a lot of friction.

To be fair, Dockge is very, very new. I imagine features like that will turn up soon enough.

Technically true, but if you actually try to interact with those compose files directly then shit gets really fucky.

Hi, Canadian here. The Handmaid’s Tale was seriously over optimistic about what kind of country we are.

I hate to say it but if Trump wins, it will not be the same as last time. Trump and the Republicans have both learned a lot from their last go around, and they’ve got the benefit of a captive supreme court at their back this time. Last time they had no clear plan for what to do if they won. This time around their plan is very clear and very scary.

There’s this thing where normally surprising court rulings result in a lot of breathless over reaction from the public, while serious legal commentators are going “Guys, no, it doesn’t actually work that way, it’s not nearly as bad as you think.”

The Trump immunity ruling is the only time I’ve ever seen those serious legal commentators saying “Holy shit this is so much worse than you think.” People are seriously underestimating just how bad this really is.

If you do want to host your own google docs, look into Onlyoffice, or LibreOffice with Collabora

We can’t get Congress to agree to anything right now, the ruling elite and external hostile governments have crippled them.

For the record, the house is currently controlled by the Republicans. Saying “gridlock in Congress” when its run by the party that most benefits from being obstructionist seems a bit disengenuous. It’s not “gridlock”, it’s Republicans doing what they went there to do.

Sorry but when you said “some people”, you didn’t explicitly specify the gender of the people you were referring to, so now I am confused and terrified. In future please use “some male people” or “some female people” to avoid inflicting your gender ideology on me.

They’re presumably going to be doing this live. If someone manages to hack into the component that feeds text in…

Quantity of recalls combined with the quantity of quality control issues, combined with the price-tag.

For that kind of money, you generally expect something that went through some road testing. And it’s not like these are issues that took years to develop. Stuff like the problems with the foot pedals should have come up during their testing… Assuming they did any.

Calling this a startup is being excessively generous. Startups are meant to eventually be viable.

This is a scam. The product just feeds your queries into ChatGPT and spits out the response. The backend tech they’ve described flat out does not exist. It’s all smoke and mirrors.

Coffeezilla did a really good video about it

Absolutely. A lot of the time the biggest difficulty with researching something is not even knowing the right terms to search for. Asking a few questions can give you a starting point to know where and how to look.

And the thing is, I personally hate asking questions on forums and the like. I can probably count on one hand the number of times I’ve done it. I’m very good at digging up answers by myself, and I generally do work better with essays than I do with conversations. But my experience should not be seen as the default, and people shouldn’t be shit on for trying to learn through community rather than through textbooks.

So, when you create a virtual machine in KVM, you have the ability to attach a Spice or VNC display to the VM.

Unlike running VNC inside the virtual machine, what this does it is runs VNC on the host, at a port that you designate (or a randomly assigned port if you don’t designate) and then you can view that by connecting to the host through VNC. For Spice its exactly the same, except you use something like the Remote Viewer application to connect to it.

As others have mentioned, the easiest way of handling all of this is with Virtual Machine Manager, which integrates its own Spice console and makes everything happen automagically. You can also install Cockpit with the Cockpit-Machines plugin on the host, which gives you a web interface for controlling virtual machines, just like vmware esxi. The display manager on cockpit is pretty rough at the moment though.

KVM is a very “build it yourself” virtualization solution. I use it extensively, and I love it, but you’ll need to be prepared for a lot of “Oh, KVM doesn’t do that, that’s handled by this program/library/whatever”. It’s definitely not a user friendly toolkit. If you’re looking for a Workstation Player alternative, you may be better off with something like Virtbox (although do try out Virtual Machine Manager first, it’s really slick and for your use case probably solves all the problems I’ve mentioned). If you’re looking for an esxi alternative, maybe look into Proxmox.

I’ve been looking for documentation on this but Google search is now so bad that technical documents are completely hidden behind marketing blurbs or LLM generated rubbish.

Its honestly tragic that people feel the need to put these disclaimers. “Just google it” was always a shitty response to people asking legitimate questions (some people learn better from conversational interaction rather than just reading an essay), but with the slow death of search engines we’re now experiencing, at this point anyone who yells “Just google it” needs to be ejected into the fucking sun.

Is this a question?

For the people who don’t know the answer? Yes.

Not everything you see is intended for your consumption. Let people enjoy learning things.

Fair enough. Well, you definitely should be moving those over to Docker then, it’ll be much better for efficient use of resources.

Curious as to why you don’t just run those as separate games on the same server, since Foundry has the functionality for that?

Either way, running Foundry in docker is a solid idea. I’ll grab a link to the image I use when I get the chance.

Also, why two Foundry servers?
