Who do I talk to if I want an ubuntu desktop environment built around i3. I know the whole "Linux means choice" crowd particularly glom onto i3, but why can't my one choice be i3 and the rest of my choices be the standard network manager and keyboard shortcut handler.

Helicity posted:counterpoint if its just a lovely little admin app that doesnt deserve much thought, leave it on 8080 and dont think about it not being on port 80 This rings true. Id either leave it on 8080 because it doesn't matter or spend the literal 30 minutes figuring out 0-60 how to write an nginx config file and run a docker container pointed at it. Tbf, I would also be pretty pissed if I inherited a system that had any of the other hacks described in this thread running on it. "Oh, look, another way to mangle port 80 privileges, this time somehow in systemd? Let's set aside time to rewrite this from scratch."

If they add all the Linux desktop applications to an os running the Linux kernel, does that make it Linux on the desktop? https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/02/25/chrome-os-may-soon-able-run-linux-applications-container/

Is anyone still doing anything like the Ubuntu convergence phone? I never use my laptop as anything but a desktop, I think Android sucks a little less than using Apple products but pretty bad, and I've been using Linux for my personal computer os since 2006. I think I'm the target demographic here.

Why is there a gap between top and bottom workspaces in Unity? Why is that gap as wide or wider than a title bar on a window is tall? Why can you drag windows far enough into this gap that the title bar is no longer clickable from the top work space or the bottom?

When docker was young, my team regularly ran into problems where you'd update one Makefile that managed a Dockerfile build process, and all the downstream docker build commands would fail. This is because the prevailing wisdom at the time was to use Makefiles to define your `docker build` parameters, and then heap mounds of this make/docker pattern on top of each other in the form of image inheritance, in order to reuse prebuilt images as a sort of build cache across different build nodes. Of course, this pattern sucks. Docker pull / push is so slow that the benefit of breaking a your dependencies / services into several images is not worth it at all, you really one want giant fat layer because that will incur less verification overhead when transfered across the pipe, build times be damned. This pattern had the added disadvantage of the fact you can't unit test a pile of make and docker files, so any change you make to your structure has even odds to cause 'image not found' failures three hours into your build process. To try to cut down on the cycle time, I came up with a test that overshadowed the docker binary in the $PATH with a little python script, whose job was to register new image names it was asked to build and confirm new docker files had their requisite dependency images created before they ran, completely hiding the original docker binary. This meant no images were built, but it did effectively test the entire docker build inheritance structure just from reading the files on disk and comparing to the list of prebuilt images it aggregated. I turned a debug cycle time of several hours into a <1 minute fast failing test. Well the point of the whole story is that I named the whole fake docker system "focker" and the name has tickled me ever since. And docker has always been bad.

Docker compose you'd need to change your pythonpath and use a mocked version of the awful docker python lib. I'm sure you could describe the situations where these facts became important enough to learn as "docker just working" and "docker simplifying my workflow". Also, maybe, "using docker correctly", but who is really keeping track.

Silver Alicorn posted:and Linux nerds scoff when anyone says this poo poo is too complicated Shaggar posted:windows is the only os with working pointer input. linuxes like gnome and osx feel like dragging the pointer thru sludge I literally brought this up for the first time in my life today at work. Weird. Of course no one, despite being surrounded by several linux nerds and even some linux nerds who also use windows extensively at home for games, had any idea what I was talking about. It's not just distance traveled or pointer acceleration, windows has a better output refresh rate or something that makes the pointer feel uniquely crisp and responsive. edit: It could be the difference between ~15ms of input lag and windows having something under the threshold for humans to notice like ~8ms, but I swear there's a real difference.

Google is keeping with its tradition of showing docker how to do containers correctly the same way you'd explain obvious things to your kid's dumb friend: very slowly, excruciatingly patiently, and with no expectation of them getting it: A few days ago the G open-sourced gVisor, a hypervisor that sits between the kernel and docker containers. Their words for the problem: quote:With traditional containers, the kernel imposes some limits on the resources the application can access. These limits are implemented through the use of Linux cgroups and namespaces, but not all resources can be controlled via these mechanisms. Furthermore, even with these limits, the kernel still exposes a large surface area that malicious applications can attack directly. And their solution- a layer between docker and the kernel:  Oh, what a surprise, hooks for this sort of thing are written into the OCI standard:  Link to the full post: https://cloudplatform.googleblog.com/2018/05/Open-sourcing-gVisor-a-sandboxed-container-runtime.html Overall I expect this to be a big hit with all the major banks and investing firms that have strict "no docker" policies due to security concerns.

The real question is "when", and that's not until you have to fix someone else's awk one liner and can't figure out how to replace the the entire line with grep|cut. One day sooner and you'll find opportunities to proliferate technical debt by solving problems with a dead, esoteric language, inflicting its knowledge on others.

Great news! The Ubuntu Convergence phone OS is still being kept alive by community maintainers, with an entry price of ~100 (recommended device is nexus 5 which was released in 2013 and pretty cheap second hand at this point). I happened to have that much burning a hole in my pocket anyway! https://ubports.com/  The cool thing about Convergence is that it outputs to an HDMI display and acts as a full desktop environment, which I don't have the hardware to actually do at this point, so more on that later. However, it isn't actually a linux phone / desktop as it runs an Android kernel. Pretty disappointing, especially because the Android convention is to keep the root device is completely full making apt install commands impossible, and everything is supposed to be run in Android's container tech which isn't docker but is instead called "Libertine" containers and no-poo poo has a little top hat as an icon:

Oh yeah, lets do some machine learningCUDA install instructions posted:While the Runfile installation performs no package validation, the RPM and Deb installations of the driver will make an attempt to install the kernel header and development packages if no version of these packages is currently installed. However, it will install the latest version of these packages, which may or may not match the version of the kernel your system is using.
