Funny thing is I was in secondary school in the 80s and had 3 Teachers (Technical Drawing, Art and PE) who had also taught my Dad, so he had stories, for the same teachers, that blew mine out of the water.

The worst thing I ever saw were two 15 year old boys being dragged by their collars across gravel by my geography teacher when getting off the coach from a school trip aboard. They had trashed their hotel room, tearing the paper off the walls, burning their bedsheets and throwing food and drink all over the room. This would have been bad enough but the trip was to the CCCP (as was) and the hotel had contacted the local governor who had contacted the embassy in the UK who had talked to the Foreign Office, putting the whole educational trip program in jeopardy. By the time the bollocking had made it to the school (before we arrived back at the school the teachers and students had no idea, there were no mobile phones back then) it was apocalyptic, so my Geography teacher just totally lost his shit, mixture of fear and rage I think.

My Dad’s stories involved Teachers dangling kids out of the windows by their ankles and having their head shoved in a desk and the desk lid slammed down. Proper “how was nobody killed” kind of stuff.

Probably, yes. Though I’d imagine they just won’t show you “foreign” plat on a given system. given the specific profit-sharing agreements with the closed platforms it’s impressive enough that DE have secured a deal that allows creation of paid assets without compensation on closed platforms, porting of currency is just so far out-there, the likelihood of it ever happening is negligible.

Docker-compose is a orchestration tool that wraps around the inbuilt docker functions that are exposed like “docker run”, when teaching people a tool you generally explain the base functions of the tool and then explain wrappers around that tool in terms of the functions you’ve already learned.

Similarly when you have a standalone container you generally provide the information to get the container running in terms of base docker, not an orchestration tool… unless the container must be used alongside other containers, then orchestration config is often provided.

I think it really depends what you value as a power user, many “enthusiast” features still need root access and that both limits your choice but also (almost) rules out utility features (that I, personally, view as a requirement nowadays) like Google Pay

If you’re looking for “big iron” apps like photo editing and midi sequencers then memory and speedy storage would be a requirement (many of the “gaming phone” models satisfy this)

Docker is much easier than it seems, imagine a single app with all it’s dependencies all the way down to the os level being all wrapped up in a virtual filesystem so it can’t see anything else. Only the kernel is shared.

So if “Awesome Webapp Jeroboam” needs a different version of python than you have installed and and old version of ffmpeg for some utility it needs, along with the apache webserver where you prefer nginx, no problem, all that mess gets wrappped up in a container and you don’t have to worry about it.

Not sure how the setup differs but ours does not work with chrome, only edge

Not necessarily, I’m using Pop!OS but my workplace AzureAD SSO mandates Edge on Linux so you’re not safe.

Doesn’t surprise me at all, the company I work for has gone all in with AzureAD SSO and that will only work on Edge (edge supplies info for the MS asset verification software that constantly eats my CPU) so now we can’t use anything other than Edge for any internal service and need to develop for Edge if we are writing an internal tool.

Doesn’t matter, in no time at all you’ll be getting a new frame and levelling it to 30 a couple of times (because of forma) in the same day (absent the delay for build times, but that isn’t time where you need to do anything) All the frames can do standard star chart stuff

But if I was prioritising warframes I’d ensure I had an area CC Warframe like Vauban, Khora, Nova, etc as they are useful for defense/mobile defense/excavation

Personally I always use containers unless there is a good reason to use a VM, and those reasons do exist. Sometime you want a whole, fully functional OS complete with custom kernel, in that situation a VM is a good idea, sometimes a utility only comes packaged as a VM.

But absent of a good reason, containers are just better in the majority of cases

I would hope this would be obvious to anyone. If your client can highlight which posts you have upvoted in the web and app UI then the fact that your user specifically upvoted that post must be recoverable from the instance server and thus must be recoverable by the instance admins. I would not expect anything different.
