Rancher got a lot better very quickly, but I've never used podman and have heard mixed things about it... Might give it a whirl at some point, but I've been saying that to myself for years

Dunno if it's decent but I've been hosting one service on quay.io since about 2017 and other than that time redhat changed the login system and I had to fart about for a few mins,, I've never had any issues... Tbh though I probably only update that image about twice a year so I'm not exactly power-user-ing it

I never got the impression Michelle even wanted to run, and frankly I'm not impressed by the notion that the best candidate was a wife of a previous victor. Didn't work out terribly well last time, and not actually particularly great credentials on their own

I'm not sure how subtle discworld really is 🤣

Bring back political executions! I can see no downsides!

Everyone always dunkin' on Perl, but I can't even tell you how often it's been the best tool for the job. Like, at least 3

If you can, just use Perl. Probably installed on your systems, even the ones without python.

Might be checking the old password on the new password screen. Easy programming mistake to make I guess? Apply the same validation to all 3 password fields...

Software is really hard. Replacing something that needs to continuously have new features added to it because it's not been replaced yet... You're running to stand still

Can she learn to love him?

I think it's just that having a mistress at all is generally frowned upon these days.

Many years ago, my aunt bought an old, terribly specced laptop and couldn't get Windows to run on it. I installed Ubuntu and everything was fine - she could check her email and browse toxic conspiracy theories on Facebook and all was good with the world.

Two years later when visiting I got my first support request - would I mind showing her how to print something? No problem, but would you mind showing me what you were trying? She was selecting menu items to send to a virtual printer, not the one on the network. I show her the correct printer to send to and the thing prints. Easy. Out of curiosity, I check the outbox queue for the virtual printer. Over a hundred documents, going back two years.

For two years she'd been unable to print, and every single time she'd ever attempted to print something she'd followed the exact same steps that didn't work, and just accepted that this was the way things were.

SMH.
