Yeah, hopefully we can just buy cheap panels and put it together how we want. If that also opened up options for hackers to build entirely new display applications, or in new ways, that would be the dream.

They won the Battle of Britain with invisible military tech they invented, so it’s not that surprising.

But that’s the thing: televisions are complex and can be very difficult to repair, so what do you do when you can’t buy a dumb replacement anymore? I have the same issue with cars. I would like to replace ours with an EV, but they are a privacy nightmare whereas my car’s peak technology is FM radio.

I was thinking earlier today about how much technology waste there is because old stuff is superseded so quickly. Maybe in future we will treasure the tech we had before it all went to shit.

So don’t change the defaults?

As far as I know, yes. You tell me the alternative if you’ve got it.

If all you’ve got against Flatpak is it uses more storage, then I don’t know what to tell you. I have a 1TB drive that cost $80 and my GNOME system with 106 flatpaks uses just under 7%. The original post claiming 2TB is absurd.

People who like having fine-grained security controls over their apps?

Hopefully, when it’s all broken and nobody’s getting their social security payments, maybe some of them will wake up.

If Grok’s still being trained on the Internet, it’ll be self-reinforcing too

The whole point of a walled garden is to stop people (their wallets, really) leaving.

There are also those of us who like some Apple products but do not buy them because of the walled garden. The EU might improve choices for us too.

There are still Trump critics on YouTube.

1. I’m backing up LXCs, like I’d back up a VM. I don’t back up Docker containers, just their config and volumes.
2. I don’t think anyone is doing that. We’re talking about installing Docker in LXC. One of the Proxmox rules you can live by is to not install software on the host. I don’t see the problem with installing Docker in an LXC for that reason.
3. I’ll snapshot an LXC before running things like a dist-upgrade, or testing something that might break things. It’s very easy, so why not?
4. I back up my LXC that has Docker installed because that way it’s easy to restore everything, including local volumes, to various points in time.

You can also create a single LXC for Docker and run multiple Docker containers on it. The VM argument is for security as it’s harder to escalate to the host from a VM than from an LXC.

If you do that, Docker is stuck on that host. If it’s in an LXC it can move to another host. Plus, backing up and snapshotting are easier IMO.

I’ve used Gnucash for investment accounting and market valuation. It’s got plenty of features for tracking personal investments.

GnuCash will do the sort of security trade accounting you’re talking about. I don’t know how GnuCash compares to the other offerings, but it can be fully offline and has a lot of features.

It’s extra protection, especially if you use non-browser apps on your devices it can limit tracking.

Be careful upgrading Docker versions, it has breaking changes.
