That's part of my point ;) It's updated very often. I check for base image updates every day, and it's one of the most oft-updated ones -- hence my preference for using it as "the" base of all others.

One could do worse than using (more) stable distribution for their base images. 20.10 is not a LTS, so it's more likely to get semi-spurious updates than a LTS version like 20.04 or, say, debian stable. For most of my non-alpine-based

You get a similar benefit (a single revert to revert it all) via "git merge --no-ff BRANCH". If the BRANCH is a fast-forward (i.e. it's been rebased to master/main & tested before merge) then you get both benefits of

I run apps like that inside a docker container, which is a little bit better, I think: - security library updates update with the base OS, which I update religiously and images are rebuilt (via "make") whenever the base updates, t

I think the author was talking about a literal "href='#'" which ought to have no use aside from a poor man's "back to the top", rather than an anchor pointing to another id on the page, which can be useful

From my (admittedly) limited experience, paid support isn't consulting. Paid support surely is, as you say, about calling someone at 3am and having them look into an incident. From my experience, that's not about helping you get t

I think the implication is that using the context of the page to serve ads to users (i.e. you're reading an article on beer, so I'm serving you an ad about beers) is better than using context about the user to serve ads (i.e.
