But Mexico has 63 more miles of coastline on the Gulf than the USA does.

USA != America. USA is a country that resides on the North American Continent.

While I know Trump is doing this to try and claim it as the USA’s… It actually makes sense if you actually use “America” properly to refer to North, Central and South America.

Nothing stops them from putting the “new” connector on a shitty cable either.

I just want to point out… They took a quote from what appears to be a review… Then credit tripadvisor for it rather than the person who made the comment/review on the tripadvisor platform.

Bad citation.

there is a easy way to synchronize your YouTube and PeerTube channel

No there isn’t anymore. yt-dlp, what all those syncing tools rely one, is basically fucked at this point. Youtube has made it fucking impossible to grab content off their platform and it’s really damn annoying. Even for my private IP address, I’ve earned what seems to be a permanent ban from Youtube.

Every video shows either this…

Or I login, and it only shows me the first 60 seconds of content before it just buffer loops forever

But I wouldn’t want to sync the content from youtube anyway… Youtube compresses the shit out of everything.

I get your point. It’s not hard for them to make a second post of the same video content to another platform. Many just don’t see the value in it. I agree that at least FUTO should see the point of putting it up… Hell I’m even willing to share the load in the bandwidth (with my own instance that’s currently up and running). Is what it is.

Well yeah… those are the only ones that matter.

Correct. It can’t go anywhere because you won’t acknowledge that a dockerfile is literally just a script. So arguing that one type of script is any different than any other type of script is just silly from the get-go. Not sure what point you’re trying to prove. Also, “one-off” literally linked you to a whole thing of “one-off” LXC containers and you still say dumb shit like this…

You can version LXC containers.

Every command (https://docs.docker.com/build/concepts/dockerfile/) is literally just an alias of something from linux bash anyway. So I’m really not understanding why you think there’s any difference here. It’s literally a dumbed down bash for one specific purpose.

I’m starting to think you just don’t know anything about docker. Or LXCs for that matter.

If so, that’s pathetic and weird.

Pathetic and weird is complaining about downvotes when they don’t even tally up anywhere. So not only were they meaningless to begin with, they’re not even as useful as they are on Reddit.

I did downvote, not because of disagreeing with me, but because

The issue with LXC is that it doesn’t set the software up for you.

is factually wrong in this context. You can absolutely distribute software in an LXC. I even pointed you directly at one such repository of hundreds of images that do exactly that. And they’re repeatable and troubleshoot-able all the same. The script that a dev would publish would be doing literally the same exact thing as a dockerfile.

A dockerfile is just a glorified script. Treating it as if it’s something different is intellectually dishonest. Anything in a docker can be edited/modified the same as an LXC. docker exec -it <> /bin/bash puts a user in the same position as being in an LXC container. Once again. Aside from some additional networking stuff, Docker was literally based on LXC and is more or less functionally the same. Even in their own literature they only claim that they’ve enhanced LXC by adding management to it… (https://www.docker.com/blog/lxc-vs-docker/) Except Proxmox can manage an LXC just fine… LXD as well.

As far as CI/CD stuff… It works on LXC containers as well… Here’s an example from 3 years ago that I found literally in 10 seconds searching for LXC ci/cd https://gitlab.com/oronomo/docker-distrobuilder.

Also you can even take a DOCKERFILE and other OCI compliant images and push them directly into an LXC natively. https://www.buzzwrd.me/index.php/2021/03/10/creating-lxc-containers-from-docker-and-oci-images/ (Create LXC containers using docker images section).

like pretty much the entire development community does?

This is also a bullshit appeal/fallacy. The VAST majority of development communities don’t use ANY form of containerization. It’s only a subset that works on cloud platforms that now push into it… It’s primarily your exposure to self-hosted communities that makes you believe this. But it’s far (really far) from true. Most developers I work with professionally have no idea what docker is other than maybe have heard about it from somewhere or another. It’s people like me who take their shit and publish it into a container and show them that they understand and learn more about it. And even in that environment, production tends to not be in docker at all (usually kubernetes, Openshift, Rancher, or other platforms that do not use the Docker Runtime) but that choice is solely up to the container publisher.

I didn’t like docker for the longest time

Good for you? I see docker as a useful tool for some specific stuff. But there’s very few if any cases where I would take Docker over an LXC setup, even in production. I don’t hate or love docker (or LXC for that matter). However… I find I get better performance, lower overhead, and better maintainability with LXC. So that’s what I use. I don’t delude myself that LXCs are somehow not containers… and that Docker does anything different than any other container platform.

There’s plenty of core social components to Lemmy.

Nothing requires the social components of lemmy to be text only though. Many images, gifs, and videos are shared in comment sections as well. Claiming text only or text-based is incorrect when all media types are available in every facet of lemmy.

Edit: I will add, I do appreciate a text source though… I can get through pages of text faster than I can watch a youtube video at 2x speed. But there are times where the imagery help to clear up some topics as well.

They did… That’s why there’s timestamps in the description.

helper-scripts.com

Docker doesn’t setup anything for you either without a dockerfile (which is literally just a list of commands to setup the docker container).

There’s no reason that a script cannot be used in the exact same way for an LXC container. To that point… There’s already a repo of stuff to do exactly that. Which I’ve linked above.

Edit:

A docker is a distribution method for the software, not the operating system

And yet most docker containers first lines are something line “FROM Alpine”… Much the same that an LXC would be. Last I checked Alpine is an OS…

Keep in mind that docker used to be based on LXC… and they fulfill virtually the same niche, outside of Docker having more obfucated shit for networking (specifically inter-container networking).

This is not a significant shift with how we are interacting with Google, it is a minor change.

Eh… Most people (Not the tech literate ones) interact with the internet nearly wholly using the Google search bar. To the point where many have NO idea where to put a URL in their phone to actually go straight to a website and often just google the url and click the first link.

For those people, this will be a significant shift.

It’s funny because I view LXC’s the same. They’re more practical than both VMs and dockers to me. Outside of community-scripts though, it seems most people don’t like LXC’s nearly as much as I do…

those tremendous amounts are not that big because with PeerTube you share the bandwidth with other instances

I have 8gbps, I’m perfectly willing to federate with Futo’s instance and take some of (if not all of) the load for this video. But I don’t think they peer with that many other people. At 15mbps that’s about 500 people watching simultaneously.

I agree I’d like to see it on peertube for sure.

You underestimate how much knowledge it actually takes to do selfhosting stuff. To truly explain things. This stuff is clearly aimed at really low prerequisite knowledge people. It’s only with pre-req knowledge that you can skip out on a lot of content. This is the exact same complaint I got when I was teaching certain 100 level courses at a major university… 135 hours of coursework just to get students to a baseline competence on a number of introductory topics for IT… 14 hours for basic self-hosting knowledge is likely not enough to actually be sufficient either (which is likely why they specifically hamstring the options and go straight for using just one specific software)… But it takes time to explain all the items that goes into everything you need to know for self-hosting.

The fact that you’re already aware of what Docker is means that this video and wiki were already a “miss” for you.

Well duh? I’ve read the reports. I mean that maybe they went too deep because the controller died. Eg, dude holds button that tells controllers to go deeper. Controller dies… Sub just takes last input and keeps going deeper until it hits the catastrophic depth.

Guy was an idiot for sure, I just wonder if the controller played ANY role at all.

I now wonder if part of the reason that all happened is because the controller battery died, so they couldn’t ascend.

Installing a chromium browser for 10 minutes for troubleshooting shouldn’t be compared to slitting your throat.

that was a joke… but text can make jokes hard.

But like I said, I’m no longer interested in debugging/fixing Youtube’s problem. I’ve had issues for months… probably years at this point. I’ve given up putting time into fixing their shit.

Just install a chromium browser for testing or check if the YouTube app is still buffering.

I’ll just slit my throat while I’m at it. Your solution is to put power in google’s hands. I’m not interested.

it’s best to just boycott them altogether.

They’ve done it for me! I can’t load their content even if I wanted most days.

It’s a 70/30 split. 30% of the video I watch will have issues. And those videos will often spend more time buffering than playing the video.

And nearly 100% of the content I watch should be in youtube’s caching system. As I almost universally watch new releases from my subscription page and don’t tend to let the algorithm recommend anything to me. This has been my normal for years.

Except lately it’s gone up to nearly 100%. I can’t load a damn thing anymore (as of the past month or so). It just sits and spins, multiple devices including phone on cell network. I can only get phone to work using something like Grayjay.

You can claim that my ISP interchange might be at fault… But that wouldn’t explain why I have no issues with virtually any other platform on the entirety of the internet that I exchange packets with. This would still be squarely youtube’s fault. My ISP is one of the big ones, Lumen (Centurylink/Quantum). Lumen owns backhaul. A lot of backhaul. While it’s possible my local interchange is completely crammed full in other situations, I happen to know it’s not. We’re not even 1/4 of the way through their build out in my area. And the fiber goes straight to the head end for my area. There’s capacity galore.

What’s likely, and has already been cited is the fact that youtube has been waging war again firefox for a long time. It’s well documented. Further Google also has a history of targeting specific users where an account simply being logged in will achieve the same effect of constant buffering.

Youtube is bad. Here’s the kicker… Other platforms? Never have an issue. Twitch, Odysee, Rumble (Cringe platform, but a couple people I watch went there even though I wish they went elsewhere), hell even most peertube instances work with better results than Youtube does for me.

At this point I’m not interested in help fixing it. It’s clear there’s no helping Youtube. The platform is broken, both in the business sense and technologically.
