I'm not saying it shouldn't be allowed. But people really should be thinking about plastic usage (and they don't.. they just need that stuff handy to print whatever.. ) and all the waste they generate when they don't need the said printed part anymore (for better or worse their descendant/successor will not need it anymore and will throw it away...)

So what exactly will you do with your printed plastic when you get bored of your printed stuff?

Forgejo is great and all... up until you're trying to use your SSO with a user named 'admin':

then it just looks like a bad joke with all the anime girls and everything else...

I love the way how NOONE mentions that it is not available on android: "We're sorry, the requested URL was not found on this server."

I bought MC in.. I really don't know when. 2010? maybe? A long time ago.

I will never migrate my account to microsoft. I hate them with a passion.

Back when google tried to force everyone with a youtube account to singup to that +1 account (what was it? google plus or something?). I never did that. I was not able to reply to any comments on my videos for a years!

Then suddenly I noticed I can comment/reply again. They just silently removed their forced account migration procedure.

microsoft will do the same or they will go to hell for sure.

I'm sorry... when did hackernews became SVB news?

90% of my feed since yesterday contains the word SVB from hackernews.

Is this some kind of US thing? Can we just move on to other things?

New comment by trialect in "Make systemd better for Podman with Quadlet"

Recently I came about a couple of projects on github where they are making a binary available through docker AND the so called 'bare-metal' (which expression I hate, because up until recently [ok-ok, couple of years] there wasn't any other method than just run it as it is on the hardware/os), meaning you can run it on any linux distro (without docker of course), so open source developers certainly can make software that runs on any (or at least most of) linux distros. Especially when there's a big corp. behind them.

What's more is podman especially is about running software on different distros easily.

What I'm expecting from RH is make software (if that is free and opensource and about running other software without the hassle of packaging, etc.) that can be - sort of easily - used on other distros too. But just to be clear, this expectation is not only towards RH.. it is towards any other linux distros. In this special case it is RH indeed.

The whole idea behind podman is great (especially not having to have a root daemon to run containers), but if they want it to succeed they need a proper and easy way for other linux distro users to use it.

and yes, they also said in https://github.com/containers/podman/discussions/13097#discu...: "if I want to get Real Wise. Only Supported Podman comes from Red Hat Enteprise Linux and perhaps SUSE. (Maybe Oracle Linux)"

> Doesn't it follow then that the responsibility for making Podman available on Ubuntu falls on either Canonical or volunteers that use Ubuntu, and not Red Hat?

As mentioned in https://github.com/containers/podman/discussions/13097, node.js is just an example, but they could do it. Why wouldn't redhat do it with podman?

> Otherwise, you could blame any developer on any software for not making their code available on any distro, and perhaps even any OS.

Yes you could. And in certain cases - like this one - you should too.

So the software developers cannot make a version that can be run on any linux distrib? (with or without packaging)

(oh, and also you mean that is a community package - meaning unsupported)

https://podman.io/getting-started/installation "The podman package is available in the official repositories for Ubuntu 20.10 and newer." "CAUTION: The Kubic repo is NOT recommended for production use. Furthermore, we highly recommend you use Buildah, Podman, and Skopeo ONLY from EITHER the Kubic repo OR the official Ubuntu repos. Mixing and matching may lead to unpredictable situations including installation conflicts."

Also the Kubic repo is old.

I don't know what makedeb is, but of course anyone can make .deb packaging for anything, but that does not mean it is supported in any way (not to mention if a package has several other package dependecies, and those also have to be packaged carefully)

The unfortunate thing is, that podman creators do not give a damn about how their binary should be run on different linux distros.

RH being RH only RH (and derivatives) supports latest podman. For example on ubuntu lts you cannot run podman 4.4 and you will never have the possibility to run it. Maybe in 5 years Ubuntu/Debian repos will be updated to contain podman 4.4, but until then you are stuck with whatever version your distro has.

I also have a Synology nas, a DS413 for 10 years now.

and I use it like this also for 10 years now. It works great. Only consumes ~4W in deep sleep/system hibernation (the wording depends on from which year you find text mentioning the above nas. Synology decided to reword the function back in some year), and automatically wakes up whenever it is needed. (also not this is not only HDD sleep, it is full system sleep)

What?

Synology DS413 and DS213+ does this automatically. What second machine?
