  • For me, I think a really interesting take would be if Linux had a stronger office suite — meaning IT could more easily justify being a “Linux shop.” Active Directory + Microsoft Office 365 is the killer combination that leaves so many professionals saying “just use Microsoft.” Then it’s so much more natural to just issue everyone a Windows machine, and keep it that way because it’s already set up that way. If Linux could bolster itself to impress a similar level of confidence in IT professionals at the office, I think we’d see many more jobs willing to let their staff work on Linux (or even choose it exclusively for the business).

    There would need to be corporations that can accept the same levels of liability Microsoft does, but for Linux. For many organizations, it comes down to who’s liable for what theoretical issues.


  • This seems to be a common ideology. It seems to have the idea that American Exceptionalism needs a humbling dose of economic collapse, and then all will be good. The thing is, I don’t completely buy the “and then all will be good” part. There are far too many rich twats standing at the ready to purchase up any remaining stable assets, while the average joe struggles to afford even basic needs. Is that really the pain that America needs for it to learn its lesson? Especially when the boundaries between private money and politics are so thin and blurry, what benefit can you see from further enriching the oligarchs of the west?

    I would expect an economic collapse to be a fatal blow, by this point, to the way of life that Americans and American immigrants had long sought after: the chance to get ahead in life. Its a wealth transfer. Far less humbling than it is completely destructive, and you’ve got to ask what the world looks like from that point forward. How do you manage a US that looks a little more like new Russia than the old US?




  • Can’t you just make sure the containers are stateless, mounting any directories where data will be stored?

    For DB maintenance, you can exec into the container and use the native DB client. Or just expose theDB over your network, at least to the machine you maintain the DB from.

    Backup and restore the mounted directory.

    Logs from Docker can be handled like any other, no?

    Sorry if I sound ignorant, but I literally learned the “Docker way” first an never looked back. Whenever I see software that can’t natively run in a container, I start looking for alternatives because I don’t want to deal with the complications of not using docker.
