I'm familiar enough with Linux to cludge my way through most things, but this will be my first time with docker (honestly stoked to learn it).
So would you suggest I get things squared away in docker first, then move things over, or should I fresh build everything directly into docker? Are there any weird artifacts or config issues with importing a backup from an existing windows installation of the *darr apps or similar?
My point is that what you described is basically a city with suburbs on a reduced scale. If a town is nice and successful, you're gonna have people that want to move there, so your options are to build outward, upward, or not at all. It sounds like you'd prefer towns build upward rather than outward, which is obviously valid, but it's a matter of preference. People who don't mind living in an apartment will move into the city center, people who value space over commute will move to the suburbs.
Where I think things get turned around (in the states anyway), is the lack of community-run programs and local business owners. Community gardens, neighborhood solar cells, locally owned farms, grocers, and corner stores are all things I'd like to see way more of in suburban areas.
What a ridiculous thing to say...
So do you put a population limit on small towns? How do you think major Metropolitan areas got started? They didn't just appear one day, they grew over time from small port and station towns...
The fact slotted is the most often screw type on electrical outlet covers boggles me.
Sure, there are inconveniences with living in the suburbs, but there are some positives. A dollar typically goes further than in the city, meaning more space for gardening, hobbies, kids, etc. You get to have neighbors without literally living on top of eachother. Usually more quiet then urban settings,etc.
I certainly don't mind paying a little extra to help support the workers, but it's so frustrating that these costs are immediately passed to the consumer on top of the already egregious price hikes and shrinkflation that came before it.
Sorry, I'm out of the loop, what's the matter with Nova? It's my current launcher, anything I need to be concerned about?
Kratos is my go-to any time a question like this comes up.
Database Administrator (DBA) can be a lucrative position with a low barrier to entry. Can bridge nicely into data science/AI if you want to go that route. Data is the new oil, and AI/LLMs are the refineries.
Awesome write up, thanks for taking the time!
Definitely seems like docker is the way to go. I've currently got my NAS connected via ISCSI, but will I need to change that up when moving to docker?
