Samesies! Happens almost anytime I’m drinking a cold drink.

You’re the cool aunt, for sure.

I could go in-depth, but really, the best way I can describe my docker usage is as a simple and agnostic service manager. Let me explain.

Docker is a container system. A container is essentially an operating system installation in a box. It’s not really a full installation, but it’s close enough that understanding it like that is fine.

So what the service devs do is build a container (operating system image) with their service and all the required dependencies - and essentially nothing else (in order to keep the image as small as possible). A user can then use Docker to run this image on their system and have a running service in just a few terminal commands. It works the same across all distributions. So I can install whatever distro I need on the server for whatever purpose and not have to worry that it won’t run my Docker services. This also means I can test services locally on my desktop without messing with my server environment. If it works on my local Docker, it will work on my server Docker.

There are a lot of other uses for it, like isolated development environments and testing applications using other Linux distro libraries, to name a couple, but again, I personally mostly just use it as a simple service manager.

tldr + eli5 - App devs said “works on my machine”, so Docker lets them ship their machine.

That sounds like the default GitHub boilerplate message, to be fair.

Listen, I hate the tipping culture here just as much as everybody else, but the fact is, if you can’t afford to tip, you can’t afford to go out. Should employees get a decent wage without it, absolutely yes. But they don’t right now, and you not tipping isn’t going to change that.

Comment and post edits and deletes are federated. OP probably means account deletion. Currently, if you delete your Lemmy account, it does not federate, so your old comments and posts stick around on other instances, I believe even with your old username attached.

He said in his follow-up video that there would be no more follow-ups. So we’ll see.

You want LCS and Lemmony.

… No? I know for a fact mod actions federate to me because I can see them in the mod log and in the interface. I can see which posts and comments were removed and which users were banned.

Edit: If you’re implying there’s dissonance between me caring about mod actions federating to me, but not caring that my mod actions may or may not federate out, the difference is that I’m not hosting any communities. I have a tiny, inactive, special topic community, and support and announcement communities. If I was hosting a big, active community, obviously I would care a lot more about moderation federation.

No, you have full control over what shows up on your instance and moderation actions are federated. So actions taken by admins and mods of the original instance federate to me, meaning I really don’t have to do much work on my side. I think I’ve only had to take a few actions myself since starting my instance. I don’t know if my mod actions are federated back to the original instance, but as it’s not hosted by me, I don’t care much.

You register at the DMCA website and respond timely to DMCA requests, while doing a decent enough job moderating.

That’s literally it.

It’s one of those annoying enemies from Nier Automata, kill it.

Holy shit, a Metallica meme! Didn’t expect that today, what a nice surprise.

Both, actually.

Signups are open on my instance up to 100ish users. I run scripts to auto-federate popular content, so it’s pretty bumping.

I like to keep shit simple. :D

Join mine! I run several tools in order to federate with the most popular content automatically. I’m keeping user count limited, but sign ups are open at the moment.

It can’t be illegal to send you an email outside working hours, that’s just silly. Now if it’s illegal to demand that you read it and respond outside working hours, I would understand.

I’m a long time Sync supporter and paid for ad-free Sync for Lemmy, but I can agree that Infinity is definitely a good competitor. I’m juggling them both right now, and they’re both fantastic.

That’s a fair take, in my opinion.
