> Not that it wasn't usable previously, you'd just run into a few issues. I don't like that definition of "usable". Compose v2.0 compatibility became available only since last month which was very late. If podman

That took a while... Although I don't see what benefit I get by going podman when docker works fine and I don't really care about theoretical rootless security enhancement.

How is the extension better than upload-on-save from an editor and using a dedicated terminal app?

> borderline immoral Who are you to say about the moral? They've poured millions and millions of dollars into it and telemetry is there partly to make it a better product and what you do is talk about moral and expectations?

Bitcoin will always be there as the basis of everything else. It proves by staying relevant for the duration of the time it exists and everything else is experimentation on top of a working concept. Think it as a network layer as in Bitcoin

There seems enough competitors when this looks like a tool from 20 years ago with limited functionality. If you somehow do not use the obvious GUI tools like TablePlus, Postico or SequelAce but prefer web based, there are some that actually

You don't need to do that if you're satisfied with the current version. It rarely breaks but mostly it doesn't give you anything unless you needed the specific new version. Just keep unattended-upgrades do the important updat

I think people tend to overthink about running your own db. There is nothing to patch manually. Security updates are handled automatically via "unattended-upgrades" for Ubuntu and when the OP says, > tiny, almost free, sql data

Used Linode for years on several instances without a problem, very good support and reliable but trying to move out for a very small problem that their server backups can't handle any non default filesystems, as in, if I use zfs, their

You can spin up a $5/mo instance on any of the low cost cloud and install MySQL or whatever. Why go the more pricey/complicated route?

They have storage box, which allows for SFTP and other more familiar and easier to use protocols than S3 and very cheap except they only provide European region. Their cloud servers are very cheap (like half the cost of other low cost compe

Last time I tried OVH, their interface was so confusing I just gave up before even considering it seriously. The other ones are quite straightforward.

To me Vultr had a network problem in a specific region (Silicon Valley) in the past intermittently but not recently. I never had any problems in Tokyo region. One unique thing about Vultr is that they provide HDD block storage which is way

If it wasn't for find's muscle memory, fd has it right as you'd usually list what you want to do in the cli first and then list arbitrary number of targets in the end.

Why don't you make them available in ~/bin and have a better shell life?

by mekster 4y ago
Can't you just install Homebrew on your home dir and stop being locked up with the ancient environment? Or you could just create a git repo with those executables and pull them to your machines?

It takes 30 minutes to figure out the tmux arguments to run commands in paraellel without leaving the terminal you know well. A limited GUI certainly causes more pain than the shell everyone uses.

by mekster 4y ago
You could do that with Ansible or for a few dozens, you could open up tmux tabs and issue same commands to them all. The problem with cockpit is that it doesn't do anything better than specific tools making it rather useless.

I wish this tool was more useful but currently it's nothing but a simple dashboard and other parts are better handled inside a shell. Graphs, logs and stats are nothing actionable and package manager and service manager was kind of bro
