If you already know Docker CLI, is there a reason to use Portainer?
  • I've never used Portainer but I feel a GUI setup like it just abstracts Docker and prevents learning concepts that are conducive to understanding Docker. That's why I've never used a GUI to manage my Docker environment.

  • Transphobia in the fediverse
  • How the fediverse works is every instance is free to moderate itself how it likes, down to associating or not associating with other instances. So instances can choose to not deal with shit like that if they don't want to. The idea that you have to put up with other's idea of "free speech" which is just abusive is just not true, neither should it be.

  • Ubisofts stock tanked this morning ahead of the markets opening
  • I fully understand your first point and that is how I feel. That's why I made my comment; I and others have been dealing with endless AAA slop that mostly hasn't been intriguing for a long time. Even if its a certain game franchise I'm not interested in, I understand other people's pain of it been driven into the ground with micro transactions and buggier and buggier games.

  • Day 38 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots (Minecraft 1.5)
  • Early Beta Minecraft was interesting because it felt like anything was possible. The documentation was not like it is now, so it felt like there was a lot more. That was probably enhanced by me being an imaginative kid at that time. The early generation kept things weird and fun. I miss those days.

  • YouTube is Losing The War Against Adblockers
  • I'd have left Twitch if I didn't find it more entertaining than current YouTube. No one should be surprised they're at pre-covid profit levels again because they tried to shovel way too many ads down people's throats.

    Imagine tuning into a random stream and getting greeted by 3 ads before you can understand if you want to stay or check a different one. I've been frustrated enough that I just turn to something else altogether for entertainment.

    There are some decent adblockers like TTV.LOL, which is a simple proxy to a country that doesn't allow ads. But sometimes those solutions don't work either. Ironically I just use Turbo while not paying for YouTube premium, but just as people don't pay for YouTube Premium, I understand not wanting to support Twitch for a variety of reasons.

  • What distro do you use for your servers?
  • I use Alpine Linux. It's exceptionally stable, great for pretty much any device and is best for small VPS with limited space/ram. Nice package manager too, but it is limited in packages.

    It works great for me since I only use docker containers, but some things outside docker may require something like Debian instead.

  • Niche Distro Users: Why?
  • I use Arkane Linux, which is based on Arch but is immutable. Every update is a new install. You can easily configure custom images to deploy for your specific wants or needs. It's nice for keeping up to date with Arch while keeping how my machine is configured declared in an image. You can always roll back if something was wrong with the image you deployed too.

  • Switching back to Windows. For now.
  • If you're running the most recent kernel, I'd recommend moving to linux-lts. I have slightly similar specs, KDE Wayland, 6900 xt and 5800, and I had issues with games straight up crashing out my PC on the latest kernel.

  • Google Is the Only Search Engine That Works on Reddit Now Thanks to AI Deal
  • I'd say in a good bit of cases better than Google now. Each time I've resorted to Google because I think I'm getting lackluster results, it's got the same results but also a bunch of SEO dogshit I have to sort through. Kagi's personal site ranking and filters make it worth it too.

  • Are we going to see arch based immutable distros in the near future?
  • I just started toying with Arkane Linux. It's fairly easy enough to make your own image and they provide some simple templates you can use if you don't want Gnome. To me, the greatest thing about Arch is the AUR and unfortunately it doesn't support AUR packages out of the box. This might not be a problem since you could mostly get along with flatpaks or distrobox. It might be a chore for someone new to Arch to have to compile something straight from the AUR that your device needs to function, like what I've had to do.
