Kali, also called Kalika, is a major goddess in Hinduism, primarily associated with time, death and destruction.

All operating systems suck, some just suck harder than others.

Indeed it is difficult to hammer it in to shape. In addition, Microsoft will often quietly reset setting back in their favour. It’s that constant fight that tipped the scales for me.

My main issue with Windows isn’t its technology, but its attitude. The user is no longer the most important consideration. In that way it’s become adversarial.

On my kid’s laptop I was holding Windows 11 24H2 back because of Recall, but this week it just decided to install itself. Now it’s a Linux laptop.

After switching to Silverblue a couple years ago I’ve used dnf, like, three times maybe. I find rpm-ostree even simpler than apt since it’s easy to tell what additional packages I’ve installed, it’s trivial to remove them, and I’ve never had a dependency issue.

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.

You’re already funneling it through a third party, so why not encrypt it (with bonus location spoofing)?

I like to remote desktop from my iPad to a Linux host and GNOME is the most bearable DE by far still not great!).

Same. Can’t find the video in the ‘vidiverse’ on peertube.tv either.

Compared to garbage proprietary software documentation? At least if it’s FOSS garbage there are usually other helpful users on random forums.

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.

Don’t desktop environments e.g., GNOME, KDE, fit the bill here? Sure they have their problems, but they are IMO about as polished as macOS or Windows.

So, the minimally illegal way to stiff the people sharing with them. They continue to innovate in the age-old field of bastardry.

I use my family. It has a simple volume based alert for when services are offline.
