The problem you are describing in this comment is a social problem, not a technological one. In the previous comment I answered, a technological problem was described, and I offered a technological solution.

I am on the fedi, I do not proselytize to anybody that’s not on the fedi, nor do I interact outside of it. I am not fighting a battle, nor do I need to change people. There’s tons of people on the fedi that I can interact with. If people like where they are, they can continue to enjoy that, and I don’t have to bother them. I call my parents using the phone.

You’re on the fediverse where that is a possibility.

Monica, watch how Trump does it first, then you can go after.

Is that bad?

People who don’t pay for the software they use are some of the worst, most demanding, most opinionated and most ignorant users. Source: I use free software and avoid people who “hate systemd”.

• Running software alone :(
• Running software with friends :)

See, no big deal if somebody else comes into your system. You’ll be happier.

Which Bill Gates got your attention? Epstein Island Bill or Embrace/Extend/Extinguish Bill? Either way, not a good look.

It makes so much more sense this way.

wow

The phrasing by the person you are responding to is perfectly fine and shows ample understanding. Maybe you do not understand what they were positing.

What is stopping you from running HP-UX for all your workloads? The question is totally in purpose so that you’ll fill in what it means to you.

“What is stopping you from” <- this is a loaded question.

We’ve been hosting stuff long before docker existed. Docker isn’t necessary. It is helpful sometimes, and even useful in some cases, but it is not a requirement.

I had no problems with dependencies, config, etc because I am familiar with just running stuff on servers across multiple OSs. I am used to the workflow. I am also used to docker and k8s, mind you - I’ve even worked at a company that made k8s controllers + operators, etc. I believe in the right tool for the right job, where “right” varies on a case-by-case basis.

tl;dr docker is not an absolute necessity and your phrasing makes it seem like it’s the only way of self‐hosting you are comfy with. People are and have been comfy with a ton of other things for a long time.

Ah. There you are, old friend. I’ve been expecting you.

You have the systemd haters to thank for this one. They have wasted so much time talking shiz about a system they did not want to understand and downvoting folks posting about stuff they use. Next time you find something else useful in systemd and wonder “How come nobody told me?”, know that we tried and got drowned out by the cool kids.

You can download docs once and refer to them pretty much. You can also download dependencies once and read their source code to figure out questions you may have.

Like, sure, I need the internet to download new packages and tools and their documentation and stuff. I will concede this. But after that, I can live off the land.

I got almost 3 decades of writing software for money. I don’t need stack chatgpt overflow. I know some standard libraries by heart.

For you

They can’t stop me!

It’s sexy and I love it

Any highlights from the development process? Any particular complication with tooling/libraries used or anything that went better/faster than expected?
