I think I remember seeing this when it was new. Oh no I’m old.

Absolutely unhinged politicians. You telling me the masses voted this guy in? Unbelievable.

What?! Is he trying to improve the lives of those that don’t normally have easy bathroom access? How dare he! Government money should be a spent on improving his self image and ego!

Depending on who you’re with, you can try calling their support and explaining what you’re looking for. I always tell them “I need to disable routing and have my gateway act like a modem. It should give a public IP directly to my router.” This should explain in layman’s to any technician what you’re looking for and they’ll be able to tell you if it can be done. If you’re with a cable or DSL provider, also ask about options to provide your own equipment. This can save you money in the long run, too, if you’re renting the hardware through them at the moment.

Why do you think they put on the rubber suit?

Maybe I’m misinterpreting, but if your gateway from your ISP is also routing and handing out IPs, this is known as a double NAT and can cause all sorts of weird issues. If you’re going from your ISPs gateway to your own router, their device should be bridged so it acts like a static modem.

I recognize “he knows, don’t go home” from Minority Report. Solid reference.

I’ve never heard of Zardos personally, but it sounds like you’re looking for movies that have deep significance and application to the real world. My number one recommendation is Waking Life. It is a movie that thoroughly explores what it means to be human all without imposing any specific viewpoint or agenda.

It’s a series of borderline interviews taken from all walks of life and then rotoscoped into a beautiful dream sequence.

I can find ways that it’s relevant to just about every day of my life. It’s packed full of serious challenging conversations about the self, spirituality, morality and mankind.

If this isn’t the type of thing you’re looking for, maybe elaborate a bit more on what you mean.

Not the shitpost we needed, but the one we deserve.

ProxMox is what’s known as a HyperVisor or Virtual Machine. The general concept is that each element in ProxMox is an entire operating system, with each service configured in those operating systems. This requires maintaining and configuring an operating system for each service you want to run, or if you install multiple services in a singe host node, you’re back to the config conficts that we’re trying to avoid in the first place.

Docker’s approach is different. With Docker, You can use any host, including a daily desktop OS with many sort of half-VMs that only have access to specific parts of the system as defined in the Docker configuration. For instance, if you just need a service that handles chat, it doesn’t need to access much outside its own data and a port to access the internet. So instead of needing to manage the OS and the service, you’re left with just the service.

Another major boon is that it’s very easy to simply turn them off and back on and have them revert to their working state. If you really manage to screw up a configuration, no more digging through the OS to try and figure out what you can and can’t delete. You just nuke the system and try again. Outside writing the changes, it takes just a few seconds to reboot the service.

And one last bonus is that again, it’s very portable when using Docker Compose. Docker Compose takes this a step further and lets you configure the entire service through a single config file. You can put together multi-service database applications with a copy-paste and a few changes to the config. Absolutely massive time saver for people like me who are terrible at managing database applications, but really enjoy the benefits of them.

I used to do the VM approach, but having one script to one service works way better for me personally.

I’ve dabbled in it for a couple years, but this was my first year embracing docker. I now run way more services than I ever have before and don’t shy away from testing new ones out.

I went from someone who avoided new installs at all costs due to the litany of things that could go off the rails to someone who can find a new piece of software and have it running the same afternoon.

It also allows me to do a bunch of testing with a piece of software at home, then just copy and modify the config at work without having to waste precious time setting things up.

I know not everyone is a fan, but my god it’s useful.

Taste the meat, not the heat!

I’ve watched Casablanca so that was sort of a given going into it.

Hey wait a minute… I’ve seen this meme somewhere before.

Reminds me of the Light L16. It was a terrible camera that barely worked.

TGFM - Thank God for Markdown

Seriously, though. 9 times out of 10, markdown has all the formatting I need for the task at hand. On the rare occasion I need something more, I’m glad I have access to Apple Pages, but it comes with its own set of unique challenges.
