  • Give us your fstab and lsblk.

    Or, the specific piece of information I want is where the kernels are located. When /boot is part of the root subvolume (not the default setup, sadly), then the kernels will be snapshpotted along with the rest of the filesystem. /boot/efi would be where the efi system partition is, and where the bootloader is installed.

    If /boot is instead the efi parition (default setup lmao), then this means that when you restored a snapshot of your root subvolume, your kernels were not downgraded. I suspect that older kernels attempting to read/view newer kernel modules would cause this boot failure.





  • I always wonder how Docker works on macOS with a more UNIX-style kernel than Linux

    It doesn’t. Macos also uses a virtual machine for docker.

    but is it really that hard to do Docker/OCI out of Linux?

    Yes. The runtimes containers use are dependent on cgroups, seccomp, namespaces, and a few other linux kernel specific features.

    You could implement a wine like project to run the linux binaries that containers contain, and then run some sandboxing to make it be a proper container, but no virtual machines or virtual machine container runtimes* are easier.

    Linuxulator, a freebsd project does the above.

    *these are much lighter than a normal vm, I’ll need to check if this is what macos does. I know for a fact docker on windows uses a full Linux vm though.

    Kinda. I think it’s definitely true that docker is used as a distro-agnostic package manager for services, and if we only had one distro we might not need that.

    It should be noted that projects like cosmo attempt to make things portable to and across BSD’s as well as Linux’s, so people definitely want distro agnostic packages (or a package manager), even on the BSD operating systems.

    However, on the other end, docker is also powerful because it (and tools that use docker containers, like kubernetes), orchestrate services and allow people to bring them up very, very quickly. Like, to bring up a service called pairdrop, I just take this file:

    ---
    services:
      pairdrop:
        image: lscr.io/linuxserver/pairdrop:latest
        container_name: pairdrop
        environment:
          - PUID=1000
          - PGID=1000
          - TZ=Etc/UTC
          - RATE_LIMIT=false #optional
          - WS_FALLBACK=false #optional
          - RTC_CONFIG= #optional
          - DEBUG_MODE=false #optional
        ports:
          - 3000:3000
        restart: unless-stopped
    

    and type docker-compose up -d. And it’s really quick, and arguably only possible due to the way containers are isolated and it’s easy to create and destroy them. There exist solutions for automation and scripting like ansible, but they just aren’t as good as the container solutions for automatically putting services up.



  • people flock to Telegram, a centralised and insecure service.

    Telegram isn’t a chat app. It’s an unlimited free file upload, storage, and sharing service that ignores any DMCA or takedown requests. It masquerades as a chat app, but that’s why people flock to it despite the fact that it’s not truly private.

    And then of course, if people are already there, why not chat on Telegram?

    It’s because you go to a Linux conference and meet interesting people and you ask for their contact, and they offer either signal or matrix.

    XMPP is still being maintained and stuff, and still works fine, it’s just not as widely used.

    Okay. So I did a little research since I was truly curious.

    https://www.animals24-7.org/2019/10/14/pit-bulls-new-gene-study-shows-it-is-not-all-in-how-you-raise-them/*

    Boom. A genetic link between aggression and certain violent behaviors and pitbulls. 15% of their personality. Caused by an aggressive period of selectively breeding them for dogfights.

    And now I think we should breed pitbulls out of existence.

    @[email protected] (is this how you @ a user?).

    1 source. That’s all it fucking takes. I don’t understand why people who spend so much time on the internet are so mid at arguing. 4 articles of AI slop aren’t going to convince anyone of shit. 2-3 other articles that don’t actually back up your point have the same issue. But you’re prancing all over this thread like you’re hot shit. The issues I mentioned in my previous comment still apply, but here’s a new source for you to use I guess, you’re welcome.

    And of course, I have to obligatorily state that no parallels to human behavior can be drawn from this. No, black people were not “bred for strength”. No, they are not inherently more aggressive. No, we should not just use eugenics to eliminate certain “races” because human races are a social construct (see above diagram). However, dogs work differently, it seems.

    *Edit: actually this source seems to be somewhat problematic since it seems to cover a dispraportionate amount of news related to pitbulls but that doesn’t make the study immediately wrong.

    Okay researching further I found another scientific article going in the opposite direction.

    However, our community sample of Pit Bull-type dogs showed they are not more aggressive or more likely to have a behavioral diagnosis than other dogs. This does not support reliance on breed-specific legislation to reduce dog bites to humans [23

    (Damn, I said I wouldn’t argue but now I seem to be arguing with myself. Don’t worry chat. Imma win.)

    Opens google scholar

    Oh shit. It doesn’t even mention the word pitbull. Investigating further, many of the claims that article makes, like the ones about certain dog breeds needing no/less training to do certain things, are just straight up unsourced and not mentioned in the study. wtf?!

    I am enraged that the article just straight up fucking lied to me and I fell for it. This is why I use google scholar and vet the studies myself, rather than using a search engine normally.

    But it seems like we are back to “pitbulls are products of their environments” again.

    On a miscellaneous note, google scholar seems to have really enshittified. It’s now attempting to show me normal news articles and blog posts, rather than exclusively scientific journals. Eugh.


  • …and see what, exactly? That culture doesn’t exist?

    Yes lol.

    Why…should I care if you’re black?

    Because I am a living counterexample to the idea that black people need to speak a certain way.

    What shit? You mean Black Entertainment Television? TV for black people? Black culture?

    And Google’s “privacy sandbox” is so private. C’mon lol. You gotta be either stupid or trolling.

    Do you even know what you’re trying to argue?

    Yes.

    think one paragraph voids decades of data they’ve carefully collected

    Uhm… ackshually 🤓 it’s two paragraphs.

    But in all seriousness, “carefully collected” is a pretty severe misrepresentation of the way the majority of these stats are collected. One source you link says 66%*, but wikipedia says 28%. This is an very large increase.

    This discrepancy is caused, in large part, because the police aren’t very good at reporting on this kind of data. The article you linked, which I quoted goes mentions this, but it doesn’t really go into detail just how bad it is. The police system, particularly in the US has a lot of inherent biases that lead to problematic behaviors and assumptions. Some of them are about race, and some of them are about… dog breeds.

    Long story short, I only really trust hospitals for this sort of data. Insurance companies get their info from the police, who aren’t reliable. Hospitals can have problems, but aren’t going to be problematic as our police system. Interestingly, hospitals also seem to report much lower numbers, like the numbers mentioned in the study mentioned by wikipedia versus the other numbers present. I wonder why that is?

    And one of the articles you linked was AI generated slop that claimed 66% but that was actually a hyperlink to wikipedia’s claim of 28%. And most of the articles you linked were similar, clearly getting the data from the same place, but not actually linking it and/or having broken links.

    Even the best source, the study you linked has issues when it comes to supporting your claims. It acknowledges that which breed has been top of the list for dog fatalities has shifted over time and only now settled on pitbulls. That source also acknowledges how dog breed identification is difficult.

    And then of course, I won’t deny that pitbulls do bite and kill at higher rates. But you are arguing that that somehow makes them inherently more dangerous, when there is simply no evidence for such a thing.

    And yeah, if my dog was a Pittie, I would be defensive too, but I would also be honest that people need to take extra precautions…

    The problem with this argument is that is is very, very similar to arguing that it’s acceptable to be cautious around black people specifically because they are accused of crimes at higher rates. In fact it’s so similar that I’ve seen “pitbull bad” be used as a white supremacist talking point. (which is part of why this argument gets so heated. Usually I just enjoy the popcorn but I finally decided to stop lurking).

    But I’m gonna be real, I don’t really want to argue with someone who just throws a bunch of slop sources they clearly didn’t read at me. Read your damn sources. Use google scholar or similar instead of just a normal search engine, so you don’t get AI slop.

    And I’ll give you some advice: If you want this argument to be well accepted in the future, you should throw in some points that make it clearly, distinctly separate from the white supremacist version of it. Some acknowledgement of the police being bad, or some acknowledgement of pitbull owners or some acknowledgement of how pitbulls don’t rank top in bite strength (at least, according to two of the sources you linked). You complained about getting downvoted when you just posted stats but that’s because people don’t see those stats are an argument about pitbulls, they see someone preparing a setup for “What if I told you some races of people were inherently more dangerous?”.

    As an endnote, human race isn’t real. Perhaps this applies to dog breeds as well, which one commenter noted but you just dismissed it and threw a bunch of slop articles at them instead.

    Abuse and mistreatment can play a large role in a dog’s aggression, and pit bulls are often subjected to such conditions. In situations like this, dogs learn to be aggressive and will bite humans as a result. However, studies have shown that pit bulls’ aggression is largely due to their living conditions, and they aren’t necessarily naturally dangerous dogs

    While many pit bulls can be held responsible for dog bites, it’s also worth noting that their reputation makes people quick to blame the breed. Other dog breeds have similar physical features as pit bulls, so people assume that’s what they are.

    From the very article you linked in the other comment.

    Don’t talk facts when your source refutes your claim.
