I wouldn’t recommend Docker for a production environment either, but there are plenty of container-based solutions that use OCI compatible images just fine and they are very widely used in production. Having said that, plenty of people run docker images in a homelab setting and they work fine. I don’t like running rootful containers under a system daemon, but calling it a giant mess doesn’t seem fair in my experience.

XML aims to be both human-readable and machine-readable, but manages neither. It’s only really worth it if you actually need the complexity or extensibility, otherwise it’s just a major pain to map XML structures to any sensible type representation. I’ve been forced to work with some of the protocols that people like to present as examples of good XML usage and I hate every single one of them.

Fuck YAML though. That spec is longer and more complex than any other markup language I know of and it doesn’t have a single fully compliant implementation.

If I may ask: how practical is monitoring / administering rootless quadlets? I’m running rootless podman containers via systemd for home use, but splitting the single rootless user into multiple has proven to be quite the pain.

It would certainly help if the GitHub code search wasn’t utter garbage.

It’s always been a “whole ass computer”, not some kind of simple storage device.

I haven’t used TypeScript in a classically OOP way and it never felt like I was being urged to do so either.

I would fucking hope not. TERM is explicitly passed along as the only exception, which is the only sensible default for temporary privilege elevation in a shell.

It’s a phoronix article, there’s never more than two paragraphs and a quote in there anyway.

I know. I’m not saying that this is a sound decision, just that quote doesn’t really represent the current situation.

You obviously need an AV1 hardware decoder to do hardware decoding of AV1. The GPUs you listed are the only ones with a builtin AV1 hardware decoder on the PC, though that list is also out of date. There are also multiple smartphone SoCs from Mediatek and Qualcomm that have an integrated AV1 hardware decoder. This is also not in any way an indicator for the level of hardware needed to do software decoding of AV1.

I get what you’re saying, but this feels like a weird question to ask in a community for selfhosting enthusiasts.

I refuse to believe Sweeney on principle alone after all the bullshit he’s been peddling for years. Is 30% too big a fee for a digital distribution platform these days? Probably. Is 12% not really profitable, despite EGS only offering a fraction of the features? Probably. Has EGS accomplished anything for “the little guy” besides alienating customers through exclusivity deals and increasing big publisher margins? Not really. Is Sweeney trying to use public outrage and weird arguments around morality and market fairness to try and get himself into the position of the profitable middleman? Definitely.

I’ve heard of it before and I don’t work in advertising or video production. Why is everyone focusing on this term like these guys invented it?

Nope, afraid not.

Almost nothing uses ethernet over HDMI to my knowledge.

People who spread fud about x11

Who does that? X11 is ancient. It’s a known variable in every possible way. How would you spread FUD about it?

In reality the ones who advocate for Wayland the most are the people who used to thanklessly maintain X…

It already has improved. You’re just very ignorant in your idealism. I’ve used it at home and for work for at least 6 years now and the problems have honestly been way less than expected for an X replacement. Screensharing was probably the biggest hurdle initially, but even that has worked for quite some time now. The last remaining issues are pretty much down to individual applications.

You could not write an operating system even remotely comparable to Linux in that time with the ressources the Wayland devs had available.
