I’m backing up LXCs, like I’d back up a VM. I don’t back up Docker containers, just their config and volumes.
I don’t think anyone is doing that. We’re talking about installing Docker in LXC. One of the Proxmox rules you can live by is to not install software on the host. I don’t see the problem with installing Docker in an LXC for that reason.
I’ll snapshot an LXC before running things like a dist-upgrade, or testing something that might break things. It’s very easy, so why not?
I back up my LXC that has Docker installed because that way it’s easy to restore everything, including local volumes, to various points in time.
You can also create a single LXC for Docker and run multiple Docker containers on it. The VM argument is for security as it’s harder to escalate to the host from a VM than from an LXC.
GnuCash will do the sort of security trade accounting you’re talking about. I don’t know how GnuCash compares to the other offerings, but it can be fully offline and has a lot of features.
Agreed, fickle corporations can fuck off. If your support depends on whether it’s profitable, it’s not real support. Support it because it’s the right thing to do.
Borrow a lot and default, a quick way to get cash and torch your credit rating. Trump and his billionaire friends will do everything they can to suck the marrow out of America and leave it empty. Bankers' credit models can account for political risk, but that's more tailored to countries like Argentina, not the world's largest economy. We're in new territory.
I now have to wonder if the 9/11 health program had an open investigation into one of Musk's companies.
