  • They said they were open to it but they had zero priority of doing it themselves, and essentially “submit a PR if you want it”. A shame really, their interface is great, and such an easy setup. If they implemented either xmpp or matrix I would switch immediately. All of my friends want a discord clone that “just” works, but no one wants to go to this server for this group and then login to that server for that group. They want a single-pane interface like what discord offers.

    Shortsighted to not implement that IMO.





  • Replicating images isn’t really best practice. Images are meant to be ephemeral on the server. Dockers pattern is to repull the images if they are needed, and that only takes a few seconds. Saving the images IMO would just be a waste of space.

    If you are afraid the images will be gone someday, the proper way to handle this is to use a docker registry as a proxy. So you make your own docker registry, like your.tld/registry and then set it in proxy mode. Then when you pull your images you set docker to pull from your registry. If it’s found it will use your local data otherwise it will pull through from the parent registry, and serve the docker image to your client. For backup then you backup the registry’s volume.

    That fits within the pattern of docker. Your clients come up, query the local registry, and it will serve your containers. Your server remains ephemeral.

    I understand that how you feel, and I also understand a mother’s beliefs. While what she’s saying is probably superstition, it also comes from a place of love, where she truly does want you to feel better.

    Now, while what she said may be superstition, I will also say going to an event like that usually does help depression. Not because of anything mystical - but you’re out of the house, you’re with people who you care about and care about you, for an evening you don’t need to worry about anything outside of the wedding, it is meant to be an event to enjoy. All of these are proven to help with depression, and an event like a wedding definitely can, if you go into them positively and want to have a good time. If you go into them thinking you’re going to have a terrible time - well, you probably will. It’s what you make of it.

    Either way, responding to your mother’s good wishes doesn’t have to be extremely negative, (and this is coming from a person who’s mother was a fundamental christian who tried to drag me to many many things). In this case, personally without knowing you I’d say go to the wedding. Worst case you get free booze and a decent meal. If you really don’t want to, then a simple message to your mom that’s like “Mom, I truly do appreciate that you’re trying to help me, but I’m just not ready for an event like this. How about we do something quieter?”. Acknowledge her trying to help, suggest an alternative.

    Final thought: Could it be that she wants you to go with her not for your sake, but for hers? Does she need a plus one and she just wants to spend time with you, but maybe doesn’t know how to ask?





  • I think it’s very telling that it’s not about “How do we allow them in legally” but it’s about “Kick them out”. If they were simply mad about illegal immigration then the natural discourse would be “Why do they not come over legally then?” The answer there is that of course it’s insanely difficult to legally become a citizen of the US, and it can take years - even decades, but people have a family that’s hungry now.

    The discourse going to “Kick them out” shows that it’s not about legal immigration at all, it’s that they don’t want a specific type of person around them. Otherwise we’d be having fairs and events to help people get their citizenship right now. After all they want to be here, the even want to pay taxes. If they just need to come in legally then the vast majority would, if our process allowed it.
