But do you remember how they monetized email

Cutting their nose off to spite their face.

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.

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.

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.

Yeah, would also be nice to be able to combine multiple local markets.

Isn’t this more like the software you’d use to build whatever local (but maybe federated) site? Like, you don’t ask your friend if they’ve been on Shopify or Squarespace lately.

Something, something über alles…

I put on my robe and wizard hat.

I’d also wager the proportion of human users is much higher on Lemmy.

But in addition to what happened to Yahoo, Meta’s platforms also use the network effect to keep users. Once the tide turns and the network effect is stronger elsewhere the userbase may quickly evaporate, like what happened to MySpace.

Welcome to Lemmy, where the comments are made up and the points don’t matter

FWIW I run only very small databases e.g., sqlite ones shipped with applications, but haven’t had any problems in about a year now, and nothing that wasn’t recoverable from backup.

Correct, I run docker on a compute host that has no local storage. The host’s disks are on iSCSI LUNs.

Interesting. Active users in decline, posts and comments on the up.
