It isnt funny when people are both racist and transphobic and accuse a cis black woman of being trans for the crime of doing well at the Olympics

neidu2 , to asklemmy in People who used older macintosh OS in the 90s, what was it like for your daily use, work, games etc?

I didn’t use it myself, but the parents of a friend of mine. They had two macs of different generations.

On the newer one we played command & conquer (although not being able to right click to cancel placing a construction was annoying).

We didn’t use the older one a lot, except that the Screensaver was also a game of some sorts, kind of a cross between Asteroids and some 2d space exploration game.

atro_city , to asklemmy in What is an event that altered you in some way?

I was in a sport team for a while and they hadn't been treating me well for a while. One day, I slipped and fell during training. Instead of somebody helping me up, the majority of the team laughed at me. Something in my mind snapped that day and it nearly led to my first ever physical altercation. However, my punch just turned into a feint with the thought "fuck this, I'm out".

That was the day I learned not to let things boil until they explode. Put me into any salad and I'm not the calmest cucumber, but I have never let things get that close again and always speak up or just straight up leave before getting too heated. Life's just too short to stay in a bad situation you can get out of.

cashmaggot OP ,

I once learned that there's seemingly two types of people in this world. People who laugh at other's pain, and people who see someone's hurt and go to them. The cruelest dips I've ever met are the laughers. The biggest hearts, of course the helpers. I have tried to make sense of it. Like...well laughing is how we handle things that challenge us so that it makes us feel better. But I really think maybe it really boils down to this. And I am sorry people literally took your happiness away from something you loved. Fuck bullies! You speak that truth there though, life is too short for that bs.

Some of us are actively working on ourselves every day, and understanding what makes you tick and how you got there is a big part of it.

Unfortunately I have a carrer that promotes derision, fortunately I’ve had a partner for 25 years helping me get my empathy back.

cashmaggot OP ,

As long as you know your way home, you'll be alright. People rag on love, because it's seen as this cheesy thing. You know? But really, there's something magical about a partner who can heal your soul. That's good stuff, and I'm glad you've got someone who does that for you. Cheers!

Chozo , to nostupidquestions in Why is there no sense of "camaderie" in the workplace?

For me, I just don't have any interest in making friends at work. If we happen to get along, then great! Gimme your number and I'll text you memes about this week's House of the Dragon after work. Daemon needs to get the hell outta Luigi's Mansion, am I right hahaha

But outside of those one-off friendships, I just don't have the emotional energy anymore to maintain any meaningful connections with somebody just because we happened to apply to the same LinkedIn listing. Life is too stressful to be thinking about even more people and their problems.

Maybe it's just because of my line of work, but nobody does this job because we want to, we do it because we're competent at it. We're not here because of some shared vision or dream, but because the hiring manager accepted "some college" on the applications. We're only sharing this space as a matter of consequence, not intention. That's not enough for me to form a bond on in a lot of cases.

Maybe if I worked in a field that I was passionate about, things might be different and I might be more open to connecting with people. But otherwise I'm just here to do what I need to pay my bills, and that's it.

And yeah, it can be lonely. That part can suck.

Being friends is off the table, but solidarity among workers is important.

Dead, burnt, and blown up kids in Afghanistan. I’m an atheist now. I wish people didn’t need first hand experience to change their minds, myself included.

cashmaggot OP ,

I don't believe we had any right to be there. While I don't know too many war veterans, a handful I met were absolutely head fucked from going to war. They went in wanting money for school, and they came out feeling like they got scammed all the way. Or fucked up permanently from some accident. Only one I ever met who was a decent human being that wasn't bitter was a cop. And I swear to god he walked the line because he was a cop. And 10/10 he was a good guy. But I would hate everything. I would scorch the Earth around me and walk with tears. I come from a military family, but was so very gay. Which stopped me from enlisting. And I am so thankful that my queer ass stayed out because I for sure would have been destroyed had I enlisted. Big hugs, and big sorrows. If you have the ability and the heart, you should find a way to spread your story. Through some kind of publication. Something that can be documented. Perhaps not now, but even when you're older (I know a lot of people tend to share their stories that could get them in trouble later in life to sort of gloss over mitigation). They're important to share, because you witness the atrocities of man. I didn't grow up during the AIDS crisis, but in hearing the stories passed on it really changed my feelings about the world and the way it works. I am still moved by the stories, as I am moved by yours. So I hope you get a chance to share on a larger scale at some point in your life. And that it doesn't harm you too much in doing so. Safe healing, tender heart.

MojoMcJojo ,

Thank you.

cashmaggot OP ,

Of course, hang in there <3~

PM_Your_Nudes_Please ,

Yeah, my MIL was Irish catholic, but she (and by extension, my wife) lost religion after my wife dealt with some horrific health issues as a child/teen. MIL had to watch my wife go through the horribly painful health issues for literal years, while being entirely unable to help.

At first she prayed, then as time went on she begged and tried bargaining… And eventually she fell into the epicurean paradox of “a truly benevolent god would never force this on a child.”

cashmaggot OP ,

Yeah, I feel that way when I see some of the awful things that kids have to fight and I just don't understand how we haven't fixed some of the larger issues we've been facing for quite some while. I know that's really lame, and it's a total cop-out in the sense that I have no direction to point but it's just like...I believe humanity can do great things - so why the fuck are we more obsessed with making tchotchkies than say...curing cancer? Which is forecasted to have increased rates. Just frustrates me.

Glad your wife is still here.

HobbitFoot , to nostupidquestions in Who started this trend in pop music?

Remixes have been around for a while. However, the current trend is thought to have been started with Lil Nas X with “Old Town Road”.

Part of what made that song blow up was tons of remixes across different genres of music, which all counted as the same song when it came to the charts. This allowed for the song to be tweaked to different musical tastes while still giving the appearance of a mainstream hit.

So now, if you are a musician who wants to inflate their numbers, you can plan out remixes to be released at different times.

“Old Town Road” is a great mention, I hadn’t even thought of that when I wrote my parent comment

solrize , to selfhosted in Stop services while creating snapshots during backup?

Stop the whole VM during snapshots.

avidamoeba OP ,
@avidamoeba@lemmy.ca avatar

Not a VM. Consider the service just a program running on the host OS where either the whole OS or just the service data are sitting on ZFS or LVM.

null ,

This is one of the reasons Docker exists.

avidamoeba OP ,
@avidamoeba@lemmy.ca avatar

And I’m using Docker, but Docker isn’t helping with the stopping/running during backup conundrum.

Hansie211 , (edited )

It should work that way. If you use the recommended Docker Compose scripts for immich, you’ll notice that only a few volumes are mounted to store your data. These volumes don’t include information about running instances. If you take snapshots of these volumes, back them up, remove the containers and volumes, then restore the data and rerun the Compose scripts, you should be right where you left off, without any remnants from previous processes. That’s a pro of container process isolation

null ,

Why not?

avidamoeba OP , (edited )
@avidamoeba@lemmy.ca avatar

Docker doesn’t change the relationship between a running process and its data. At the end of the day you have a process running in memory that opens, reads, writes and closes files that reside on some filesystem. The process must be presented with a valid POSIX environment (or equivalent). What happens with the files when the process is killed instantly and what happens when it’s started afterwards and it re-reads the files doesn’t change based on where the files reside or where the process runs. You could run it in docker, in a VM, on Linux, on Unix, or even Windows. You could store the files in a docker volume, you could mount them in, have them on NFS, in the end they’re available to the process via filesystem calls. In the end the effects are limited to the interactions between the process and its data. Docker cannot remove this interaction. If it did, the software would break.

docker stop container

Make your snapshot

docker start container

What am I missing?

avidamoeba OP , (edited )
@avidamoeba@lemmy.ca avatar

That’s the trivial scenario that we know won’t fail - stopping the service during snapshot. The scenario that I was asking people’s opinions on is not stopping the service during snapshot and what restoring from such backup would mean.

Let me contrast the two by completing your example:

  • docker start container
  • Time passes
  • Time to backup
  • docker stop container
  • Make your snapshot
  • docker start container
  • Time passes
  • Shit happens and restore from backup is needed
  • docker stop container
  • Restore from snapshot
  • docker start container

Now here’s the interesting scenario:

  • docker start container
  • Time passes
  • Time to backup
  • Make your snapshot
  • Time passes
  • Shit happens and restore from backup is needed
  • docker stop container
  • Restore from snapshot
  • docker start container

Notice that in the second scenario we are not stopping the container. The snapshot is taken while it’s live. This means databases and other files are open, likely actively being written to. Some files are likely only partially written. There are also likely various temporary lock files present. All of that is stored in the snapshot. When we restore from this snapshot and start the service it will see all of that. Contrast this with the trivial scenario when the service is stopped. Upon stopping it, all data is synced to disk, inflight database operations are completed or canceled, partial writes are completed or discarded, lock files are cleaned up. When we restore from such a snapshot and start the service, it will “think” it just starts from a clean stop, nothing extra to do. In the live snapshot scenario the service will have to do cleanup. For example it will have to decide what to do with existing lock files. Are they there because there’s another instance of the service that is running and writing to the database or did someone kill its process before it had the chance to go through its shutdown procedure. In the former case it might have to log an error and quit. In the other it would have to remove the lock files. And so on and so forth.

As for th effect of docker on any of this, whether you have docker stop container or systemctl stop service or pkill service the effects on the process and its data is all the same. In fact the docker and systemctl commands will result in a kill signal being sent to the process of the service anyway.

null ,

Oh I see – you’re asking a hypothetical.

The simple answer is that it’s a bad idea to take snapshots of running databases because at best they could be missing info and at worst they can corrupt.

The short answer: Don’t.

Professorozone , to asklemmy in What is an event that altered you in some way?

Interesting thought. So perhaps had I been pressured later in life, I might have been a smoker.

Maybe? It's an awful thing to quit and I'm glad you were never into it.
