That is strange. `docker pull ghcr.io/zulip/zulip-server:11.5-0` works fine for me. So something seems off with your setup in general.

I typed "Zulip docker compose" into DuckDuckGo, the first result was https://github.com/zulip/docker-zulip which has commits from today, so doesn't seem out-of-date.

> Had to use ChatGPT to help generate me a docker-compose.yml, except it forgot about memcached, set the wrong environment variables and just generally did a sloppy job.

It has a docker-compose file in it, has memcached in it.

> [...] X-Forwarded-Proto [...]

Does https://zulip.readthedocs.io/projects/docker/en/latest/how-t... help?

> access the databases it needs

The official docker compose has databases set up already, I guess you were missing those from your ChatGPT created compose file.

It kind of seems like you were linked to the wrong place for documentation about Zulip with docker in the beginning and then went from that.

A quick click-through seems to suggest you landed on https://zulip.readthedocs.io/en/stable/production/install.ht... and then clicked on the prominent "Docker image" link on top which leads to a random location on the page. (at least on Firefox)

That's very understandably annoying. If can you confirm that that is what happens, a bug report either with Zulip or ReadTheDocs (not sure which) might be in order.

Doesn't work for me either right now. Google apps is also failing to resolve it.

New comment by mAritz in "Reddit App – Suspicious high number of recent 5 star, one word reviews"

mAritz — Fri, 16 Jun 2023 16:15:41 +0000

They (admins) recently started a couple of new German language subreddits, that were 1-to-1 translations of existing successful subreddits, like r/showerthoughts and r/explainlikeimfive. They very clearly created fake accounts that then posted badly translated copies of existing posts from those originals onto the new subreddits. Then after that they sent unsolicited private messages to users subscribed to certain organic German language subreddits (like r/de) inviting people to those new subreddits.

The r/de subreddit is still in blackout, so I can't really provide a working source right now, but once that ends, you can check it out here: https://reddit.com/r/de/comments/13orxh0/milde_interessant_r...

Let's say we go with your dystopian wishes and round them all up and ship them off to some other place - with all the problems that then causes just ignored.

Someone now loses their home after that - let's say to a fire and they didn't have it insured for that because the house insurance market is either dysfunctional or close to it in some parts of the US. You now have 1 homeless person again. Do you also ship them off again?

Do you just forever keep shipping off the unlucky and downtrodden people to some other place?

What if they lost their house, but have insurance paying soon, the insurance company is just dragging their feet for a few months. They will be fine, they will be able to pay for a new house or rebuilding. But until then they might be without housing. Ship them off anyways?

Sure, they'd have to build up new offices and staff them with people. But they have a parliament and they have elections, right?

New comment by mAritz in "Scotland starts renewed case for independence"

mAritz — Tue, 14 Jun 2022 16:45:59 +0000

They've had those things as the country of Scotland under the UK, so I'd assume you could argue that they qualify with that.

It's when you get immune to getting infected by a virus - antibodies neutralize the virus particles before they can do any harm or meaningfully replicate. All current (and probably future) SARS-CoV-2 vaccines don't do this. Through a combination of several vaccinations and infections the hope is that you get close to sterilizing immunity.

New comment by mAritz in "Royal Society cautions against censorship of scientific misinformation online"

mAritz — Mon, 31 Jan 2022 10:17:20 +0000

This is also a simplification.

If the vaccines are creating sterilizing immunity, this might be true. For example the measles vaccine does that.

But for all current SARS-CoV-2 vaccines we have we don't get sterilizing immunity.

So it can still make sense to get vaccinated even if society at large is vaccinated.

New comment by mAritz in "It‘s been 9 years since Valve rolled out the Steam Linux beta"

mAritz — Sat, 06 Nov 2021 17:27:06 +0000

To be fair the public stress test beta already showed some problems that needed to be fixed and people started working on it back then.

But the point still stands, for big titles you don't have to wait long for Proton support nowadays.

New comment by mAritz in "Despite having just 5.8% sales, over 38% of bug reports come from Linux"

mAritz — Sun, 24 Oct 2021 17:15:20 +0000

I think that's the issue though: You're seeing "Linux users" that only use Linux on their servers because they are somewhat forced to do so.

I would actually expect that almost all of those people use Windows or MacOS for their local development.

New comment by mAritz in "Assange Hearing Day 6"

mAritz — Tue, 08 Sep 2020 09:37:27 +0000

edit: In fact from what I can tell, this is all about day 1 of the hearing. Day 2 is today.

According to several other sources [1][2] it seems to me like "2" was correct and the title of the article is wrong. Or are they talking about different things when they refer to this day number?

That benchmark seems a little bit problematic to me. When I click the benchmark button with matrix size 101 and iterations 5 the resulting score for GPU varies between 12k, 20k, 60k and Infinity.

When talking about computation being a power drain, one could imagine a scenario where certain computations that can deal with the latency of starlink internet could be offloaded by default to the cloud. When a network failure is detected or results take too long to come in, the on-board computer could still take over the same computations, resulting in more power drain for a short moment.

Bird Flu spreads very rarely to Humans, you're probably talking about other flu viruses or just the common cold.

New comment by mAritz in "First Case of New Coronavirus Detected in U.S."

Bird flu (H5N8) is actually back in central Europe right now, coming in through eastern Europe from Central Asia.

New comment by mAritz in "How Do Bullets Work in Video Games?"

mAritz — Fri, 27 Dec 2019 03:48:52 +0000

Depends on the game: Counter-Strike, Quake and most casual games use the crosshair as bullet origin. More simulation focused games like Arma, PUBG, etc. use the actual barrel - some of them also show a bullet intersection marker when you'd hit something very close that your crosshair doesn't cover.

mAritz — Fri, 29 Nov 2019 17:12:19 +0000

Afaik the brain just gets used to it in the sense that it makes it feel normal. Measurable things like reaction time and cognitive tests keep getting worse while the test subjects claim not feeling like they get worse after a few days of sustained sleep reduction.

Maybe I'm just blind. I found a bunch of font settings, some color settings (backgrounds etc.) and language. But no quality setting.
