  • Yep, bind mount the data and config directories and back those up. You can test a backup by spinning up a new container with the data/config directories.

    This is both easy and generally the recommended thing I’ve seen for many services.

    The only thing that could cause issues is breaking changes caused by the docker images themselves, but that’s an issue regardless of backup strategy.



  • I think the question I always have is “what is driving the value”? Why do more people want it now than a year ago?

    Since the only answer that I can come up with is “because someone later might pay more for it”, it makes me a little skittish to bother with it. I did invest in etherium when it looked like web 3.0 might actually be a thing, but that seems to have stagnated so I sold.

    The issue right now is that every “asset” seems to only go up, the question will be how it all fairs when the next crash happens (cause it will happen eventually). Stocks in companies that produce something can usually weather a storm and rebound, same with bonds, but what does an intangible speculative asset do?






  • Yeah, but sizing is user dependent. So unless it’s based on the users purchasing history it’s useless what the average person does.

    If it said “L is your recommended size based on your purchase habits and customer data”, then sure. But it just says we recommend L because that’s what other people said/ordered, which makes no sense.



  • I think your misunderstanding the article. They’re not saying that Trump hasn’t called for everything and anything under the sun. They’re saying that after the bombing, trumps team was stating the attack was on their nuclear capabilities, then Trump throws out regime change.

    The issue with this is that generally when you bomb someone, you are sending a message. If Trumps admin says one thing, then Trump declares another, it’s hard to know what the US actually wants and was trying to achieve with the bombings.

    Its a similar issue with the tarrifs. Countries have met with the Trump admin to discuss tariffs, but the admin is struggling to define what they want, as Trump doesn’t have a plan/policy. This is causing frustrations with allies because we’re beating them up economically, but won’t tell them why or what it would take for us to stop.

    Overall the issue is that Tumpisim may work on social media for constituents, but political messaging between countries generally requires more clear consistent messaging/communication.


  • Just want to expand on this as it’s the most direct explanation.

    With two die there are 6 ways to you can roll a seven (each side has one way to add up to seven), and 36 total combinations (6 sides * 6 sides). So the odds are 6 times out of 36 or 6/36.

    With one weighted die, you have a set value (say 3 for example). There is only one side on the other die that will equal 7 (4 in our example). So you have 1 out of 6 possibilities, or 1/6 chance.

    However, this is only true for 7. If you were targeting 2 for example, the odds can change substantially. Normally you have one way to get 2 (1 and 1) so you’d have 1 out of 36 possible rolls or 1/36. If the weighted die was weighted to 6 though, you’d never be able to get 2, so your odds would be 0.




  • This may be more of an opinion, but Trump hasn’t really done anything too crazy when it comes to money (the biggest line I think he crossed was moving some defense funds around for his wall in his first term).

    As for the starting a war without congress. That’s a tricky one. Technically the US has given a lot of emergency powers to the President so that he could potentially drag the US into a war, but to sustain it would require acts of Congress.
