I often see people mention the Portainer project and how it's useful, but I never hear any reason to use it other than as a more user friendly front end to service management. So is there any particular feature or reason to use portainer over docker's CLI? Or is it simply a method of convenience? This isn't only strictly for self hosting, but I figure people here would know better.

I'm not sure social media is good for anyone, but I understand that "for the kids" is really the only way people feel confident in regulating anything. But it's all very condescending when the real issue is that social media is causing society to become worse due to Skinner's Box style human impulses -- I do a thing, that gets me attention, so I'll keep doing it regardless of if it's right or wrong.
We shouldn't blame social media as a blanket villain, but simply request that all web services have transparent suggestion algorithms (preferably open source) and provide tax incentives for companies that help promote verified educational content over made up bullshit (as it's the only way to get companies to do the right thing, unfortunately)

I was expecting something juicy but the dossier is basically... Anything we all already know about JD Vance?
And he's still blocking it? Hmmm... Ok, well whatever. This is why you don't use ex dot com.

And there was this back and forth that dragged all the way into the general election, at which point the Admins finally decided to ban the sub.
My recollection is that they didn't ban the sub until after the election, like a year into his presidency, shortly after the Charlottesville protest. I might be wrong though, I wasn't really paying all that much attention to them.

Depends on the subreddit. Conservatives have made a conscious effort to take over moderation on various subreddits that represents individual cities often in blue states. Some have succeeded in that, others have failed.

I really hope they don't find a way to blame the linux community for this. Even if we hate kernel level anti cheat, I think most of us were happy with the refund from Valve lol

I mean, I don't think we need to worry about people getting shot during an unannounced in home break in.
We need to worry about people being shot randomly in the street for no reason, or guns being in the hands of people who are mentally deranged. Those are very different things imo.

Like what else would a .log file be? A video file? A Word Document? An executable?
I think their point is that a 200gb text file is a wild size usage for a crash log, and there's probably accidentally some binary data in that log. There's no way a crash log can exceed 2x the size of the game binary itself.

It depends, I find that many of the Men's products can smell more "normal" and less rich.
But then there's old spice -- which I use daily but I don't think is as pleasant as women's deodorant scents (but generally work better in antiperspirant imo so it's not worth thinking too much about.)

You could almost say… Parodied 😯
Right, legally speaking that would be covered in the US.
But Japanese law is completely different and IIRC parodies are not covered which is why anime always censors their parody references to other anime. It's stupid, but it's the society that both developers are from.
Only time will tell what they're actually accusing Pocket Pair of doing though.
edit: censors, not sensors. 🤣

I'm pretty sure I saw the same tweet from Stephen Totilllo (sp?) just to give you some credence, but I think many people called him out for it as it was below his usual reporting standards.
We'll have to wait and see when the case developers further.

But if it’s just about the concept of “collecting monsters” and using them in battles somehow, then they can go fuck themselves.
I don't think it would be that because it would be unenforceable. There are plenty of games where you collect monsters, some of which existed before Pokemon's creation and plenty that have existed after. It would be the King Kong case all over again, but inverted.

Without a doubt, Patents and Software are a bad mix.
But there's definitely a truth to the idea that Palworld in particular were aiming for a legal battle against Nintendo from the beginning with provocative action. There's a reason why Nintendo has rarely gone after Pokemon-likes but have decided that this particular company is worth pursuing.
This is kind of a lose-lose situation. Palworld was clearly kit-bashing existing Pokemon models and were engaging in creative bankruptcy, but software/game patents serve only to hurt creatives and developers around the world and Japan in particular is poor around SLAP suits.
So, I agree, grab the popcorn. But I hope that whatever patents they're choosing to enforce here don't have a major ripple in game development as a whole. There's a world with the brazen IP theft of palworld actually does us all a disservice by making it an easier case for Nintendo to enforce Patents that would otherwise be unenforceable or difficult purely out of optics.

PS: Play Casette Beasts. And Monster Sanctuary.
Yeah, fuck Pocket Pair they can kick rocks. Play Caseette Beasts which made a better pokemon with unique designs and are truly independent, not just some AI grift company locking for a quick buck.

If we allow this to continue, we will end up with more content for players to enjoy.
More slop that's copy and pasted from other games?
No, I don't think I want that, thanks though.

That’s what I’m here for lol. I mean this is how reddit was when I first started there. Same with digg
This is what people always miss. Generally, sites become popular because niche subcultures form outside of the "big" websites as they no longer really serve their purpose of connecting to like minded individuals. They never "start big", they generally snowball from small hardcore users to larger more generalized userbases over time.

I mean, to be fair, there's been riots for stupider reasons. But probably not many. 🤣

Hi there self-hosted community. I hope it's not out of line to cross post this type of question, but I thought that people here might also have some unique advice on this topic. I'm not sure if cross posting immediately after the first post is against lemmy-ediquet or not. cross-posted from: https://lemmy.zip/post/22291879 > I was curious if anyone has any advice on the following: > > I have a home server that is always accessed by my main computer for various reasons. I would love to make it so that my locally hosted Gitea could run actions to build local forks of certain applications, and then, on success, trigger Flatpak to build my local fork(s) of certain programs once a month and host those applications (for local use only) on my home server for other computers on my home network to install. I'm thinking mostly like development branches of certain applications, experimental applications, and miscellaneous GUI applications that I've made but infrequently update and want a runnable instance available in case I redo it. > > Anybody have any advice or ideas on how to achieve this? Is there a way to make a flatpak repository via a docker image that tries to build certain flatpak repositories on request via a local network?

This is regarding recent discussion surrounding whether Eurogamer / other publishers should talk about the game despite being in a "alpha" state, despite not having any true legal protections in place.
So my understanding is that `KBin.social` is now *gone* from the internet for the indefinite future. Ernest, who meant well, simply could not keep up with the demands due to his personal life and the development issues that were cropping up all the time. Let me get ahead of any replies and say that it's perfectly reasonable to shut down a large instance if it's taking up your time and money or becoming a burden on your personal life. Personal health should always come before a bunch of random dudes/dudettes that happen to be on the internet. Additionally, it's a good reminder that developing software while also maintaining a large instance probably isn't a good idea and that you should probably make sure you're taking a reasonable amount of work off your plate. But I can't help but feel like there's another story here regarding the potential risks of the fediverse: Admins need to be ready to migrate ownership to others who are willing to take on the financial or user account management burden. Additionally, there should be a larger focus on community migration features for more flexibility to sudden instance losses. I managed a community that had partially migrated to Kbin after the great reddit exodus last year and managed to continue to admin said community up until a few months ago when Kbin's service became very very spotty. I understood Ernests' particular dilemma so I was willing to give it a month or two to figure out what actions I needed to take to migrate the community again, but enough time has passed now that I am no longer confident that Kbin will return to even a read-only, moderator only state. This means that whatever community I had there is now completely out of my control and the users might not know why posts have stopped entirely. Basically, I have to start from the ground up which might be OK but I'm not particularly keen to start it all over right now. So this is basically a plea to the admins out there: If you are having trouble with management and need to stop, could you please give the community a vocal heads up so that whatever subcommunity happens to form on your site has some means of migrating? Additionally, software out there should have more policies for community migration, whether that's lemmy or mbin, as we never know when it might be necessary to migrate to a new domain under different ownership. Lastly, if there's an option to give ownership to others in the community, please consider it as it would really help the fediverse if admins were willing to migrate domain and databases to other users who are willing to carry the torch. That's it from me for now, thanks for reading this minor rant. 🤙
