  • There’s not. I’m really into hockey, for example. We have a “hockey” community, but there’s also a community for each team. So 33 communities for hockey alone.

    Though as far as I know, there’s only one bot that posts scores of hockey games, and it only makes one post a day and posts all of the scores as comments under that daily post. Then it edits those comments to keep them all up to date as the games are played. I wrote that one myself, and I specifically was trying to avoid spamming with tons of posts, as there can be as many as 16 NHL games a day.



  • I learned by reading other Dockerfiles. They’re very simple in theory. You start from a base image using the “FROM” command. You copy all your code files using the “COPY” command. Run any environment set up with the “RUN” command. Then execute your program with the “ENTRYPOINT” command. For very basic services, that’s enough.

    There are definitely some quirks that really you’ll only learn by trying it yourself and making mistakes. But I say just do it. If you know all about Linux systems like with file permissions and such, it won’t be too bad.





  • What do you think about this latest release?

    I really don’t have any thoughts at all because I have yet to notice one difference.

    Do you think things are going in the right direction?

    I really miss the days where I was excited about Android releases, but honestly, there hasn’t been a single feature I have been excited for since like Android 5.0.

    Is there anything you’d like to see prioritized in future releases?

    Android really needs better cross device support like Apple devices have. Apple users can seamlessly send and receive messages across all of their devices, transfer files between them, move their web browsing session, etc. Android requires apps made by others to do this, and they are all lacking critical features. KDE connect barely even works for me no matter what I do. It used to work great about 5 years ago, but since I installed it on a new laptop about 4 months ago, it has barely worked.

    Android NEEDS RCS support. Right now only apps shipped with the phone can use the API. But that’s not good enough. Android needs a user-level API for it. I feel like our only hope for this is that the EU mandates it.

    Which device are you on?

    Pixel 7.








  • Afaik, MX150 is extremely entry level. It’s like the laptop version of a 1030. My wife has a laptop with an MX250, and she basically uses it for playing visual novel games or 2D games only.

    Though 6FPS on minimum for a 10 year old game is lower than I would expect. I wouldn’t be surprised if it performed better on Windows, but I probably wouldn’t expect any higher than 30fps on low.




  • Yeah, I use Ubuntu LTS on my server because updates make me nervous. I can’t just update it all willy-nilly. If something goes wrong during an update, I must stop what I’m doing and get it up ASAP.

    A few months ago I accidentally deleted grub the morning before I went to an all day concert, and I had lots of unhappy people that were using services that I host. Luckily that was an easy fix.

    My laptop, though? I use Opensuse Tumbleweed. I’m fine with the rolling release for my laptop. Just not my server.
