After having run a Nextcloud server for several years on a Droplet (using docker-compose), I ultimately realised that I was only using the file syncing capability, and wasn’t moving much data even then.

Here's an ~8,000 word walk through + video on how to back your database up in @Docker, specifically PostgreSQL. It includes restoring too! We'll use local storage, S3 and also Plakar for extra goodness around de-duplication (save $), encryption and more. nickjanetakis.com

With Arch Linux, installing Docker Desktop is really straight forward. In this post, we'll go over installing Docker with and without Docker Desktop. It works no problem even with niri and Waybar to see and use the Docker Desktop tray icon. nickjanetakis.com

Shout out to the @Docker Compose team. 🐳 I noticed an inconsistency in a docker compose exec vs run flag with --no-tty vs --no-TTY so I opened a PR this morning to resolve it. A few hours later it was merged: github.com

How do we eval if a model can find and exploit vulnerabilities? We discuss some benchmarks and the common pattern: • A sandboxed target within Docker containers • Inputs: code only (0-day), with patch (1-day scenario) • Tools such as bash, static analyzers, etc. • A grader to eval exploits or captured flags eugeneyan.com

Their words
They tried to take the Docker API which worked really well for one node and expand it across multiple systems and it was not the right API to scale to another type of thing that we needed. And so they kept trying. They tried to add storage. They tried to add networking but the Docker API was never meant for that.

Something most strong film directors have in common is that they can do all of it at a pro level - write, handle cameras, compose music, edit, create props, etc. It is only by getting into the details that you can develop deep enough taste to do great work. True in other work too Related

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
