  • You can host docker volumes over NFS, but the actual container images need to exist on a filesystem that supports overlay (which NFS does not) unless you want things to be slow as shit. And I really do mean miserably slow. A container image shared over NFS will take forever to spin up because it has to duplicate the entire container filesystem instead of using overlays, and then it’ll blow up your disk usage by copying all these files around instead of overlaying them. It’s truly unusable.




  • Eh, maybe. Back during feudalism, emancipation of serfs was also considered theft from the nobles who owned the land (and thus the serfs who worked it).

    Sometimes governments implemented programs to reimburse the nobles for losing “their” serfs, and sometimes not. Now that we’re a couple centuries removed from that drama, we generally accept that the destruction of feudalism was a good thing, regardless of whether it was theft.




  • I always assumed that it was to quickly delineate what people say in their capacity as a citizen vs what they say in their capacity as a representative of their government.

    “Sarah Carter, from the Canadian embassy, says to avoid the all-you-can-eat buffet” could be interpreted as a personal opinion. “Canada says to avoid the all-you-can-eat buffet” is clearly an official statement.

    Plus, sometimes the news may be reporting on a memo or announcement from a government entity which was crafted by several people and has no author listed.





  • I think this is probably more a copy of various East Asian social media services than anything Reddit-like. Pretty sure TikTok and a bunch of Chinese video streaming services already do this. I think the whole Money -> Gifts -> Rubies -> Money chain is intended to dance around money laundering legislation. The same way that Pachinko machines aren’t technically considered gambling in Japan.










  • So many bad-faith arguments being made about this.

    Independent of any arguments about who asked for this to happen and why: A free software project always has the right to choose which contributors it trusts and which it doesn’t. I’ve seen no evidence that these people are banned from submitting patches due to their nationality. They’ve been remove from a particular role in the project due to political reasons. An organization is an inherently political entity.

    Remember when codes of conduct destroyed all of free software and nothing ever got built again? Me neither. It’s the same thing.
