  • Unless you’re downloading a prebuilt LXC, you’d still have to do all the manual install yourself.

    If you do download a prebuilt one, then you’ll need to do the updating yourself, like you would a normal application, including ensuring you keep dependencies up to date and all that.

    Both have their pros and cons and I use each depending on what I’m doing (and basically all of my dockers are running in their own LXC containers, which I find to be the best of both worlds).

    FWIW, I don’t download any prebuilt LXC anymore other than the base ‘Ubuntu’ or ‘Debian’ ones … the ones in ProxMox that have the prebuilt apps were a pain to update for me, especially since I had no idea how they were actually installed and most of the times they didn’t have package manager installations or curl installed and it was just way more trouble than it was worth.

    ProxMox does now have a built in containerized docker implementation that will use an LXC and you can just provide it the docker package details, but, it’s still in beta and I don’t know that it’s ready to be depended on yet.


  • It’s like on my old Nvidia SHIELD, an update rolled in and all of a sudden there are ads on the homepage. Some people were ok with TV/movie ads being on a TV/movie device, but, why the hell would I want ads for content only available on services that I don’t have? If they’d at least only given me ads for the services it knew I was subscribed to, I would have at least been less pissed off since it could have been useful.

    Reached out to Nvidia and they say there isn’t anything they can do, it’s built that way by Google. By no means do I just blindly accept that that was accurate, but, it’s still bullshit that with a basic update all of a sudden the nature of my device was completely changed (imo) and I’m expected to just suck it up or work around it with 3rd party launchers that weren’t as polished.

    Dunno if it’s gotten better/worse in the last couple years, mine died and I elected to not replace it with another Android device.

    Maybe, but there is always the possibility that Downloads and downloads both exist in that path and in a case sensitive file system, those are going to be two completely different directories, so adding that obfuscation on top might wind up biting you later.

    Sometimes, the best tool for the job is the one you already have. Is she supposed to go out and buy a new missile launcher and all the consumables that go with it when she’s got a perfectly functional stinger in the garage already?

    Consumer culture has gotten out of hand!

    /s … kind of???


  • I haven’t bought anything pre-built besides an Alienware laptop a decade or so ago, so, I have absolutely no idea what OP is talking about with:

    • crystal-facet enclosures
    • overall showiness

    My cases are clean and I guess you could see the font on the video card if you looked into the case, but, the RGB just shines out and you don’t really have a reason to look in. The other two gaming systems I have in the house, I disabled the RGB and again, I’m not looking into the case frequently, so I don’t know that tacky fonts even register on my radar.

    Keyboards/mice - again, RGB is all that’s really noticeable and that can almost always be turned off.

    So, my guess is people don’t care for OPs prompt, but it kicked off their desire to talk about the only bit that is actually noticeable and that’s the RGB, if they didn’t disable it.

    ETA: And that’s assuming people actually read the whole two sentences that OP wrote and didn’t just stop at the title.
