Not to derail this, but I think a lot about our zoning and residential housing now and how it killed these exact things. Your neighborhood is now only people in the same economic bracket as you. New builds only make bland open areas with nothing to do, and they’re built so far out that they’re essentially unwalkable. Then there’s only one exit or entrance so even if there is a city park nearby it’s minimum 20 minutes just to walk to the entrance of the residential zone. Then add on that any teens together are hooligans and Ms Jansen will call the police on them and 40 years of fear mongering has lead us to no kids can be unsupervised

Personally I suggest k3s, setting up a test cluster and playing with it. For volume management I use longhorn. It’s a HUGE learning curve, but it’s officially something companies will shell out big money for too if you’re willing to learn it. Soup to nuts from setting up test cluster and playing with it all the way to all of my services running was about 4 months of tinkering for me- but I’ll never go back

Exactly. Hell 50 bucks you can get a decent SSD. Just grab something, have all of your drives hosted via NFS, but then you aren’t hacking docker to run in ram all the time, and wasting your ram hosting stuff it doesn’t need to

Kind of, but probably not. I started writing this and was like “totally it could be stateless”. Docker runs stateless, and I believe when it starts it is still stateless (or at least could be mounted on a ramdrive) - but then I started thinking, and what about the images? Have to be downloaded and ran somewhere, and that’s going to eat ram quickly. So I amend to you don’t need it to be stateful, you could have an image like you talked about that is loaded every time (that’s essentially what kubernetes does), but you will still need space somewhere as scratch drive. A place docker will places images and temporary file systems while it’s running.

For state, check out docker’s volume backings here: https://docs.docker.com/engine/storage/volumes/. You could use nfs to another server as an example for your volumes. Your volumes would never need to be on your “app server”, but instead could be loaded via nfs from your storage server.

This is all nearing into kubernetes territory though. If you’re thinking about netboot and automatically starting containers, and handling stateless volumes and storing volumes in a way that are synced with a storage server… it might be time for kubernetes.

If you live in Manhattan, congrats, you’re doing better than the vast majority of the country financially. Even with dependents, you’re doing much much better.

I’m genuinely curious about whether it’s really slower than mass transit in NYC is.

There’s no way to know because no other cities in North America have one like NYC. No where has mass transit. I’m in Seattle, we have 2 (disconnected) light rail lines. Houston has 3 light rail lines for the entire city. LA has a metro that doesn’t even connect to the airport yet. You want to know why you’re being downvoted to hell? It’s because you live in the only place in the entire country with an actual, working metro service and you don’t want to ride it because it’s slightly dirty sometimes, or you might be forced to interact with other people. Let me tell you, I travel to NYC regularly, and I wish we had a metro system like yours. I sit in traffic for 1.5 hours each way to get to work, and I live 7 miles away from it. And Seattle has a “good” metro system compared to the vast majority of the country. Last time I was in New York I happily stepped over a pile of human shit to get on the train, and I still got across the city in less than 30 minutes. How many people here have to tell you, you have a golden ticket with your metro service, the ability to go anywhere in your city at any time for $2 and change, and you’re trying to convince all of us that it’s actually not that great.

Do you know what I’d give to not have to drive? To not have to get in a car every day to go to work? Even if it took longer? To not have to white-knuckle drive, to not have to maintain a vehicle, to not have to sit there day after day. A train would be a godsend, and we’re finally starting to get a working one in Seattle but we’re decades away from a system that can get me to more places than the Airport, downtown, or the university.

The most ironic thing is that the tax you’re paying is literally to improve the subway, to make it cleaner, safer, to finish the second avenue line, and for maintenance, but you probably still will convince yourself that it’s not worth it.

Move to Houston then where the city was designed for the car and you can drive in traffic every day and park in massive parking structures whenever you like. It’s a very odd opinion that you choose to live in the only city that focuses on people and mass transit in this country, and complain that one of the best things about it is the one thing that is unique. Go live in Texas if you like driving. Go live in LA and drive on the 5 where cars were at the center of their city planning. Sounds like your dream. You can have 20 lanes of constant traffic, 30 story tall parking garages, just like you dream of.

You see the problem with those cities is that everyone drives. It’s not a privilege to drive in those cities, it’s not reserved for those who can afford it, so everyone is forced to drive, and then all of a sudden cars are everywhere. You want your cake and eat it too. Maybe that’s why you’re upset about the tax, because that bar has been raised even higher now, and you may be under it. I guarantee the actual rich will be paying it easily.

I’m glad you mentioned that. It primarily targets congestion, but one of the real costs of congestion is pollution. They complain it’s not fair. Is it fair that people walking don’t get clean air because of constant congestion? Is it fair that they want to eat outside or take a walk and have to smell exhaust? It’s also a tax on you polluting

So you can really see how privileged you are then

Had similar things happen too. It’s why I hate driving. Some moron doesn’t even realize how amazingly selfish and idiotic they are being, and come this close to killing someone, meanwhile they just keep driving like nothing happened

Right?! I know several people in Manhattan (who are pretty well off tbh), and even they don’t own a car. Why would you in Manhattan?!? How privileged does this person have to be? People are unable to afford groceries right now and they’re complaining that they might have to pay a few bucks because they don’t want to take a train

You live in literally the best transit area in the entire nation. One of the best in the world.

Take Transit. You are lucky enough to be in one of the areas where you aren’t forced to drive. You are incredibly privileged to live there, and are able to take transit to pretty much wherever you like.

Plus it’s lower Manhattan. You said you live inside the congestion zone, which means lets be real, this is a drop in the bucket compared to actually driving there. Just your car you probably pay for storage, some of the highest gas in the country, and the highest insurance in the country, and you’re still complaining that there’s a slight tax now because you are choosing not to take the incredibly convenient, regular, and world renown subway system?

Wish I was friend, thought it was all single story white stone housing. We were told America is number one, never saw a skyline or how big it was.

I honestly had no idea they had electricity. That’s how bad the propaganda is

So many. For an example, the Star Wars Sequels (and Prequels). I think they were fine. Okay, 8 dropped a bit and had a lot of bad moments, but altogether, they were enjoyable. I had fun watching them.

Are they Oscar worthy? No. Not at all, not by a long shot, but I had fun.

I think we as a society are way too polar, it’s either good or bad, trash or perfect. I think we’ve lost sight that things can simply be good, or fun. I had fun watching those movies. I don’t think Rise of Skywalker wasted my time. Could it have been better? Of course. Was the writing lazy? Definitely at times. Did I enjoy watching it? Yes.

This was a MASSIVE eye opening shock to me. You watch NCIS or any pro military show and they’ll pan to Baghdad or anything middle east and you’ll see crumbling buildings or warzone with a sepia filter. I was got smacked when I saw a real skyline photo of Baghdad, and istanbul, and most cities. Our media is dead set on continuing the thought of these empty deserts

Not most unfortunately, that I learned a couple months ago. Most think their squalor is somehow peak civilization

And has more than 2 opinions

Yup. Lost a lot of faith in all of us with this election. Stakes were high and people still either didn’t care, or voted simply out of pure greed, selfishness, or hatred.

Here i was, worried about them a couple months ago. Then they came out in force and overwhelmingly invited the leopards into their home. Now they want me to care again. Sorry, no. I tried then, im fresh out of fucks to give.

Gaming. I’ve seen it get progressively worse and worse over time. Gamers are some of the most entitled and whiney people I’ve met.

Game puts out 58fps instead of 60? Trash. Throw it out. Start a media campaign about how shit the devs are at their jobs

Game is only just “fun” and isn’t an absolute masterpiece like RDR2? It doesn’t matter, since it isn’t better than the literal best game ever made it’s trash. There is zero middle ground. Burn an effigy!

Game sequel changes anything from the previous? Burn down their offices! Games shouldn’t take risks! What do you mean all we have now are boring games from companies afraid to take risks?!

And we haven’t even started with the freaking gatekeeping

Now I’m not defending game companies, god knows there’s blame over there, but ffs I’m tired of gamers. I’ve been flamed over having opinions like enjoying a game.

For example. I liked Veilguard. I honestly did. It wasn’t a perfect game, it wasn’t a RDR2, but I enjoyed it and I found it a good value for the money, and I don’t care that it wasn’t like Origins. Watch the hate roll in folks.
