OK so when you said “no, it isn’t” you meant “yes, sometimes it is”?

1. I’m backing up LXCs, like I’d back up a VM. I don’t back up Docker containers, just their config and volumes.
2. I don’t think anyone is doing that. We’re talking about installing Docker in LXC. One of the Proxmox rules you can live by is to not install software on the host. I don’t see the problem with installing Docker in an LXC for that reason.
3. I’ll snapshot an LXC before running things like a dist-upgrade, or testing something that might break things. It’s very easy, so why not?
4. I back up my LXC that has Docker installed because that way it’s easy to restore everything, including local volumes, to various points in time.

You can also create a single LXC for Docker and run multiple Docker containers on it. The VM argument is for security as it’s harder to escalate to the host from a VM than from an LXC.

If you do that, Docker is stuck on that host. If it’s in an LXC it can move to another host. Plus, backing up and snapshotting are easier IMO.

“We’re number one for number two”

I’ve used Gnucash for investment accounting and market valuation. It’s got plenty of features for tracking personal investments.

GnuCash will do the sort of security trade accounting you’re talking about. I don’t know how GnuCash compares to the other offerings, but it can be fully offline and has a lot of features.

You’re already funneling it through a third party, so why not encrypt it (with bonus location spoofing)?

It’s extra protection, especially if you use non-browser apps on your devices it can limit tracking.

Be careful upgrading Docker versions, it has breaking changes.

I like a good “Hark!” myself.

So, the minimally illegal way to stiff the people sharing with them. They continue to innovate in the age-old field of bastardry.

find . -name “.DS_Store” -type d -exec rm -rf {} + -print

I put on my robe and wizard hat.

It is one of the xkcds of all time.

Just wondering whether we can start referring to Tiananmen Square 1989 as a “lootbox”, or Xi as a “microtransaction” and let China fix our problems.

A tree leaves leaves like a cow calves calves.

And then there was Jimmy Carter.

I run both and most users still choose to watch via Plex. I’d like if Jellyfin took over, but it’s not there yet.
