  • Yeh, it doesn’t look like it’s exposing the ports.
    I don’t know docker desktop.
    I just use docker compose files, even for things that don’t need it. I like having a file that describes the service, instead of deciphering run args.

    Some googling,
    https://stackoverflow.com/a/73819697
    Describes how to run a container with more specifics.

    I would strongly suggest you copy the official docker compose file, and run that with “docker compose up -d”.
    That will configure all the components required, then you can still inspect/stop/start/view etc using docker desktop.

    But I also understand the brain fog.
    Maybe you could work through the fog to install Portainer once. After which, you can use that and it’s web GUI to manage all your containers and compose files.
    Setup on Windows/WSL with Docker Desktop (but needs 2 commands: 1 to create the volume, 1 to run the container) https://docs.portainer.io/start/install-ce/server/docker/wsl

    Portainer might be more what you are looking for, rather than docker desktop (although docker desktop does make docker installation a lot easier)



  • I use it for scripts or for esoteric error messages or problems I’m having in my dev environment.
    I can’t be bothered to understand a specific error message that I’ve never seen before because of an update or whatever.
    So getting it to explain errors to me is handy.
    I always review the LLMs process and the resulting changes it suggests (including searching what it’s done if I don’t get it).
    It’s essentially a context-aware search engine.

    Actual coding and problem solving? I enjoy that.







  • The person in the middle would be supporting twice the weight of the person over the hole, and they would have to do it twice.
    The person over the hole and the person not over the hole just has to hang on.

    When the middle person is over the hole, the people at each end support half the weight of the person over the hole.

    The length of the pole doesn’t matter, as long as the person in the middle is in the middle of the pole and that the pole is more than twice the length of the hole.
    If the pole was significantly long enough, then the force on the middle person could be reduced significantly, but it will always be more than the weight of 1 person.



  • It doesn’t.
    Have you ever been ddos’d? I haven’t.
    I imagine if it happens, I’ll just switch off the VM.
    If it’s actually a problem, then I’d see what the VM hosting company recommends. Ultimately they will have something in place so that if my VM gets targeted they can isolate it.
    My sites get denied service. Oh well.

    I’ve never had anything get so popular that I actually need the tooling that cloudflare offers. I’ve never had anything targeted in a way that cloudflare would protect against.

    If that is actually a vector in your security and reliability analysis, then yeh. It’s probably the right tool for it.
    And there are other competitors than just cloudflare if you actually need the protection, which should each be considered.







  • Discord is going to be the age-verification-service for gaming, if they can get laws to follow fast enough.
    They have the gaming community, they have chats/friends/DMs/VoIP.
    If they release a dev toolkit that implements in-game chat, in-game VoIP, friends list and age verification… All while not being tied to steam? Imagine if they offered a system for in-game purchases and gifting purchases to friends (oh yeh https://gam3s.gg/news/discord-adds-in-app-purchases-for-in-game-items/ )
    They are positioning themselves to offer a huge range of features, easy navigation of legal minefields, and no distribution-platform tie-in - while also offering out-of-game functionality of all of that (likely leading to player retention for games that leverage it properly).

    They are positioning themselves to be a market-leader/industry-standard for game social networks. Everyone that has ever used discord is the product they are selling, and they are now releasing the features and tools for companies to leverage that.
