Just your normal everyday casual software dev. Nothing to see here.

People can share differing opinions without immediately being on the reverse side. Avoid looking at things as black and white. You can like both waffles and pancakes, just like you can hate both waffles and pancakes.

been trying to lower my social presence on services as of late, may go inactive randomly as a result.

  • our local movie theater before it shut down had a candy shop open right next to it as part of the mini-mall. It was funny to watch people park, walk into the candy shop, and then go directly into the theater

  • Players are returning their Dispatch copies due to Switch censorship

    Jump

  • I think this is very likely the reason yea.

    I'm also now finding out that they had to censor the coverart of the switch 2 edition a few weeks ago as well which I was unaware of. If it turns out they knew for awhile that it would be censored, and just chose not to tell anyone that is going to permanently damper my opinion of their studio. Like it's one thing to be like "This was forced upon us last minute so we threw a solution together" it's a whole different situation of knowing that it was going to happen, then refusing to tell the consumers about it since you knew it would lower sales.

    Along with that, we asked for comment from AdHoc concerning the decision to censor Dispatch’s Deluxe Edition artwork on the Nintendo eShop as compared to the PC/PS5 release, and if that indicated any censorship in the game itself. We were told that “unfortunately, the studio cannot comment on the topic at this time.” Along with that, it was said that if AdHoc is able to discuss the matter down the road, their comment would be shared with us.

    It sounds to me like they knew this change was going to be required at that point, but didn't want to publicly announce that, which puts a pretty bad taste in my mouth about the intent of the studio.

  • FR#151 – TikTok Won’t Be Another Twitter

    Jump

  • X to doubt. Considering that they already had issues with censorship which is labeled as "bugs".

    The bug wasn't that the message wasn't sending, the bug was that you were able to detect that the message wasn't sending.

    That's how X/Twitter works. They don't "censor" anything, they de-prioritize it things that don't match current ideologies.

    They can call it whatever they want, the fact that the bugs only happens on specific topic points, and not on others, tells you that something was changed that was regarding those topic points which was causing the issue in the first place. What else would they be changing that required those specific topic points if not either a de-prioritization or a censorship.

    Being said, the article makes some good points, but also fails to realize that it's twitter/X was the same boat. Many people had to choose either to make a political statement or to keep their current friends or influences. I lost access to almost every content creator I followed when I left twitter. plus, you can tell when people leave a platform, the effect is very noticeable. On the individual level they are probably right, but on the majority level it will be noticeable.

  • Players are returning their Dispatch copies due to Switch censorship

  • This is likely it.

    There is also the rumor that this wasn't a choice by Nintendo, but a choice of the dev's so they didn't have to have two separate editions to be able to sell in Japan(like they already do for the playstation edition). If that's the case this makes it even worse IMO since it wasn't like a last minute "BTW this is a thing" they had plenty of time to tell buyers that the product was altered

  • The fact that they allow Resident Evil Village of all games on the Switch but don't allow this animated nudity scene is insane to me. RE Village was one of the most graphic games I have ever seen.

    edit: I Just realized Cyberpunk 2077 was released on it no censorship. How did dispatch get censored but that was allowed through lmao

  • Getting worn out with all these docker images and CLI hosted apps

    Jump

  • If there's a way of pulling a Docker container and running it directly as a CT on Proxmox, please fill me in. I've been using it for a year and a half to two years now, but I haven't seen any ability to directly use a Docker container as an LXC.

  • Getting worn out with all these docker images and CLI hosted apps

    Jump

  • This is what I currently do with non-specialized services that require Docker. I have one container, which runs Docker Engine, and I throw everything on there, and then if I have a specialized container that needs Docker, I will still run its own CT. But then I use Docker Agent, So I can use one administration panel.

    It's just annoying because I would rather just remove Docker from the situation because when you're running Proxmox, you're essentially running a virtualized system in a virtualized system because you have Proxmox, which is the bare bones running a virtualized environment for the container, which is then running a virtualized environment for the Docker container.

  • Getting worn out with all these docker images and CLI hosted apps

    Jump

  • For VMs, I fully agree with you, but the best part about Proxmox is the ability to use containers, or CTs, which share system resources. So unlike a VM, if you specify a container has two gigs of RAM, that just means that it has two gigs of RAM that it can use, unlike the VM where it's going to use that amount (and will crash if it can't get that amount)

    These CT's do the equivalent of what docker does, which is share the system space with other services with isolation, While giving an easy to administrate and backup system, while keeping it able to be seperate by service.

    For example, with a Proxmox CT, I can do snapshots of the container itself before I do any type of work, if where if I was using Docker on a primary machine, I would need to back up the Docker container completely. Additionally, having them as CTs mean that I can run straight on the container itself instead of having to edit a Docker file which by design is meant to be ephemeral. If I had to take troubleshooting bare bones versus troubleshooting a Docker container, I'm going to choose bare bones every step of the way.(You can even run an Alpine CT if you would rather keep the average Docker container setup)

    Also for the over committing thing, be aware that your issue you've stated there will happen with a Docker setup as well. Docker doesn't care about the amount of RAM the system is allotted. And when you over-allocate the system, RAM-wise, it will start killing containers potentially leaving them in the same state.

    Anyway, long story short, Docker containers do basically the same thing that a Proxmox CT does. it's just ephemeral instead of persistent, And designed to be plug-and-go, which I've found in the case of running a Proxmox-style setup, isn't super handy due to the fact that a lot of times I would want to share resources such as having a dedicated database or caching system, Which is generally a pain in the butt to try to implement on Docker setups.

  • I'm sick of everything moving to a docker image myself. I understand on a standard setup the isolation is nice, but I use Proxmox and would love to be able to actually use its isolation capabilities. The environment is already suited for the program. Just give me a standard installer for the love of tech.

  • The Trump administration has secretly rewritten nuclear safety rules

    Jump

  • I don't see any company jumping at the rim to implement these though, especially considering the high chance that it will just be overturned next party flip. Stuff like this needs bi-partisanship and transparency otherwise it just gets revoked when the party flips again.

    it's a waste of money until it's clear both primary parties agree with the change, the fact it had to be done in silent/under the table says everything about the volatility of this change.

  • Yeah, sadly, I'm aware. I know that Wayland is making its rounds. I'm not looking forward to it. I try it every once in a while to see if it's gotten better, but so far, every time I've tried, I have artifacting and tearing, which just doesn't happen on X11

  • US warns they will send fighter jets into Canadian airspace if F-35 deal doesn’t go through | The Independent

    Jump

  • Part of NORAD already allows both Canada and the US to enter each other's airspace in the interest of dealing with threats. This is an existing negotiation.

    What the ambassador is stating is that if Canada does decide to backtrack on the program (which full disclosure I agree with because they failed to meet their deadline and the cost overrun is through the roof), In order to "prevent gaps", they would increase their f35 presence Which is also why they referenced that they would need to alter the current NORAD plan.

    This is a quote from one of the sources that the article uses for its claims.

    "NORAD would have to be altered," U.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra told CBC News in an exclusive interview at Luke Air Force Base in Arizona. He says the United States would likely need to purchase more of the advanced fighter aircraft for its own air force, and would fly them more often into Canadian airspace to address threats approaching the U.S. "If Canada is no longer going to provide that [capability], then we have to fill those gaps," said Hoekstra.

    The Posted article cherry-picks the hell out of its sources to try and make a mountain out of a mole hill.

    The entire article could be summarized with "US ambassador states that if Canada backs out of F-35 deal, US will need to increase resources to fill the gap" But instead of doing so, the author decided to make a title that makes it indicate that the US ambassador is threatening to invade Canada over it. Disingenuous reporting.

  • That would be correct for the two countries at present. For the U.S., it's 1942. For Canada, it's 1941.

  • US warns they will send fighter jets into Canadian airspace if F-35 deal doesn’t go through | The Independent

    Jump

  • It does sound really weird, however, the way I see it is both countries are under obligation for defense forces anyway, and already go into each other's air space in order to do this. So, by Canada not buying the jets( Which I agree with that decision at this point because the US has heavily dropped the ball while increasing prices.) that doesn't change the fact that they were counting on those jets for coverage, which means that they need to gain that coverage from somewhere in order to uphold current agreements.

    The ambassador was just stating that they will need to attempt to alter NORAD's deal with them because if Canada isn't going to supply the coverage, then if they were to keep the same coverage, the US would have to send more jets in which he is complaining about.

    Honestly, the title of this article is clickbait to the point where I don't even think the article title itself is accurate to the article anymore. It's borderline misinformation at this point
