It’s sad, remember when terrorism meant flying a 747 into a sky scraper?

Nowadays whenever I see it in the headlines I just assume someone pissed off the wrong cop.

Google “Firefox reader mode”, “chrome reader mode”, “iPhone reader mode”, etc.

Took me far too long to realise it worked to “reveal” content hidden by those paywall banners!

This is a classic conundrum.

Containers and their volumes are supposed to be ephemeral (right?).

Yet we use them to run little apps where we configure settings etc in the app which we would like to “keep” - thus back up. Yes in a proper set up you would hook your container up to something that is not ephemeral like a database somewhere, but often we just want an app, see it’s got a self contained docker image, and just run it.

Whilst not in the spirit of things… I’ve tried using Borg backup however it just fails due to random permissions on the volumes.

I should spend more time looking into it but haven’t the time right now, could be the solution is specific to the app/container but the simplicity of just backing up a /volumes/* directory is soooo tempting…

Edit upon reflection, what about a sudo cron tab to zip volumes and set useful permissions on the zip. Then Borg to backup the zip. Borg (or at least vorta) can easily run scripts before/after and pass variables relating to the backup though.

I was just about to query the context to see if this was in any way a “logical” answer and if so, to what extent the bot was baited as you put it, but yeah that doesn’t look great…

It’s easy, the sun rises in the… oh wait no it sets in the… erm… so what time is it?

Old news, no?

James Acaster probably my fav standup comedian.

How does the image scanning compare to docker scout? (Or whatever the docket desktop one is called).

Ubuntu pro joke related to another thread - not the best image post sorry 🙈

Do feel it is designed to scare normal users though.

Like how the GUI software updater now shows a list of security updates, and then “there are more security updates available with Ubuntu pro” in the list of updates…. the obvious implication is “you’re computer has other known vulnerabilities that can only be fixed if you pay up”.

Liiittlle bit ransomey and let be honest that’s by design.

Wouldn’t consider myself part of the anti canonical pitchfork crowd but that new behaviour did irk me somewhat.

If Microsoft did that people would be up in arms. Appreciate canonical provide Ubuntu is free but normal users wouldn’t get that nuance as they don’t think they pay for windows.

For those also wondering (and I’m quoting a comment on Ars so may stand corrected…):

Isn’t this a violation of the Geneva Conventions?

Only if used to deliberately target infantry. The videoed operations so far seem to have been intended to burn away protective cover (trees/brush), which is a permitted use even if there’s a risk of inflicting casualties as a side effect of the application of incendiaries.

Hyped for this.

Appreciate it’s not the same thing, but still feel like it will scratch the same itch that fallout does, without having to suffer that janky Bethesda engine (even its latest incarnation for starfield was annoying!).

Plus a nice looking colourful environment for a change instead of the standard post apocalyptic browngrey.

Number 2.

Strike up some idle chit chat, how ya doing, nice weather etc…

And then a totally innocent… so whaddya do for work?

Awesome that they’ve done this but it’s still a lot of steps.

I’ve heard there are cracked versions pre-packaged so it would be good if one of the retailers could release something similar given the popularity.
