Please forgive a wildly uninformed question: What is it that VMware does today that isn’t covered by Docker?

That was very helpful, thanks!

Only problem I have left is getting NGINX Reverse Proxy Manager set up, so that I can offer Overseerr webpage. The Let’s Encrypt cert generator keeps throwing an internal error at the last step. Something is preventing LE from reaching my server, and I’m too clueless to solve at this point.

The intellectual and professional desert of center-lib media is fascinating: The same rotating cast of five MSNBC guests who are on every day, all day, are now primary fodder for print stories trying to get in on wishcasting monetization, like this Guardian piece. Newsweek and HuffPost literally report MSNBC show opinions now, like they’re news.

There are hundreds of qualified law professors and law firm partners with either deep legal theory or direct practice experience relevant to the Trump cases, but good luck hearing from them. Instead, we get Vance, Litman, Katyal, McQuade, and Weissman, all day every day, and now also in print.

This desert isn’t good for us. The MSNBC wishcasting monetization model left Americans poorly prepared for the Mueller outcome. The guy was canonized as a genius Marine Superman who would undoubtedly smite Trump; other professional voices weren’t invited on.

About 25 years ago, I took in a shitty Brazilian-made .380 to be destroyed by local police dept. Filled out the form and answered questions from a young officer who seemed incredulous that I actually wanted a gun destroyed.

After I finished and was escorted out to the reception area, I used the bathroom. When I came out, I heard the officer yell to everyone the back area, “Hey, does anyone want a Taurus .380?”

You’re thinking in the right direction. And, employers are going to increasingly insist on what I like to call repressionware, hardware and software installed in your home workspace that effectively leashes you to work, vitiating many of the advantages wfh gives today.

This sounds very knowledgeable. If the reporting is to be believed, why do you think the OpenAI folks might be so impressed by the Q* model’s skills in simple arithmetic?

I may have an outdated sense of what a potlatch was. I was using the term in the sense of destroying value, per this kind of definition:

“A potlatch involves giving away or destroying wealth or valuable items in order to demonstrate a leader's wealth and power. “

AskJeeves still exists?

Same thing for books, and once they’re all digital, it will be far worse..

The only good use for blockchain I’ve heard of is publishing important works to it, so there is an immutable record.

Same. Been grinding with YouTube and borrowed books.

ATACMS solves this, I think. Someone more knowledgeable please correct me, if that’s wrong.

Eudora remains in my heart as the acme of email clients!

The closest thing I have found to it is EM Client, which also has calendaring built in. I find it’s well worth the money, particularly if you have a variety of email accounts across multiple domains, including Google.
