Have a problem? Put it in docker. Now you have two problems.

@retoor docker went all corpo, no more open source

oh.... it's my favorite

@kiki yeah, planning to jump ship to podman when I can prioritize.

@retoor Docker Desktop is free for small businesses (fewer than 250 employees AND less than $10 million in annual revenue), personal use, education, and non-commercial open source projects.

@retoor I still remember how you called him “too German to function”, and that was way too sick of a burn

@kiki what do you mean it went all corpo?

Fuck that shit!

Edit: I read the whole thread now! It was good while it lasted!

@retoor we already have a way to package code and its dependencies into a reusable package. It’s called a binary.

@tosensei what’s the difference between code and service then?

@tosensei configuration is code. static assets aren’t being put into docker in the first place. dependencies are bundled with code.

@tosensei I’m afraid your analogy isn’t quite right. If code is engine, then docker container is everything but engine. I can engine-swap a car, but I can’t code-swap a docker container. Motorcycle engine inside a car still gives you a functional car. If the car is light, you can use a lawnmower engine, or even a chainsaw engine. There are cars that run on piston airplane engines.

An image upscaling AI’s code inside a docker container that was made for compiling an OS gives you a non-working mess that doesn’t make sense.

@tosensei well, a dog with its heart swapped with a pump powered by a lawnmower engine is such a cool idea! wake up bro, it’s time to supercharge our dog!

@tosensei nah, but I know that there are portable heart pumps for humans. No, not pacemakers, a legit pumps. You gotta carry it in a bad with you though
