I do regular snapshots of my containers live and sometimes restore them, no issues there. De-duplication and incremental features are (mostly) provided by the storage backend, if you use BTRFS or ZFS for your storage pool every container will be a volume that you can snapshot, rollback, export at any time. LXD also provides tools to make those operations: documentation.ubuntu.com/lxd/…/instances_backup/

create clusters, download, manage and create OS images, run backups and restores, bootstrap things with cloud-init, move containers and VMs between servers (even live sometimes).

provides a unified experience to deal with both containers and VMs, no need to learn two different tools / APIs as the same commands and options will be used to manage both. Even profiles defining storage, network resources and other policies can be shared and applied across both containers and VMs.

What else do you need.

What are they trying to fuck up down on their quest for the “perfect vision”?

Interesting. I have always used their web app (even on mobile, i just use their pwa instead of the native app since the native app is missing obvious features), and I haven’t had any issues, but I can definitely understand the frustration

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve nothing against you… but…

This is the irony with the privacy minded people and anti-google / monopoly folks around here - they can’t use Google and Microsoft because of the monopoly and then use a solution that is 10x more closed and doesn’t even has an option to use standard protocols and email clients. Logic ham ? :P

You’re delusional or only deal with very low stakes because frankly if your costumer is a 1000+ employee company on industries like banking and whatnot you’ll just lose the customer right there.

Yes but doesn’t change the issue. That scenario will happen and no CTO on his right mind would allow indiscriminate and random tool usage as it opens the company to a ton of possible liability. If someone does then that person is just bad at their job.

usage was officially sanctioned

What do you mean by this? Is there an entire set of guidelines and security policies for both Windows, macOS and Linux users on the company? Like AV software they’re required to run, do they lock Linux machines with policies like they do with Windows ones? How does it work? If they don’t to any of the above then we’re back to my previous asessement.

Id’ say your comparison pictured is not valid. It’s not the same document in both programs

Yes its the same document. The only thing I did is “open a copy” because the document was locked in the other editor.

If one truly wants to share final documents use pdf not a draft format like docx.

People share unfinished documents with each other and formatting should hold, otherwise how can you collaborate?

Proton is all fun and games until you find out they don’t support IMAP/SMTP without a bridge.

I have very little problem exchanging documents

Yes but you still have some little annoyances here and there. Is it worth having to fight your software to get your job done? Isn’t just easier and more productive to use MS Office (ROI described above and whatnot).

Teams and GoToMeeting are why I started using Edge. It is just a nicer workflow if Teams and Outlook are in the same browser.

See this is what most people feel about Office, its just nicer to use the Microsoft thing and not ever having to worry about anything.

While I agree that for some people LibreOffice might work, there’s the following simple test:

If you’re on a recent proxmox setup that uses LXC containers you might be able to export those containers using lxc-snapshot or some other method and move them to the LXD node… May work just fine, may require other adjustments.

Personally the move was worth it. I’m not gonna lie, a ton of my most complex solutions are setup using cloud-init and Ansible so moving from one solution to another was mostly running those again and watch the machines get re-created.

Yes yes, but what about magic / automated solutions? Wasn’t that the great advantage of Linkwarden?

It’s completely inapt for actual engineering and technical work.

Depends on the engineering field, I have out a few specific examples of highly payed engineering fields that can’t get away from Windows.

Sometimes its not even about colleagues, check my reply before lemmy.world/comment/6509728

I only work with libre formats at work. If someone wants to collaborate, they can easily install libre office or gimp or freecad or gnu cash or whatever. Most libre software is free and cross-platform.

Okay so tell me, you’re working on a budget with a potential customer that uses MS Office. You want to win that customer and do a big project for him, would you “bitch” about him about using MS Office and ask him to install LibreOffice whenever the spreadsheet formulas don’t work properly?

What if said potential customer is a big company with strict IT policies? What if the person can’t even install software or is older and unable do it but very proficient with Excel?

Are you willing to lose a potential big customer, a project that will pay your bills for months just because a boomer can’t or won’t be able to install LibreOffice?

TCB13 , 6 months ago to selfhosted in Planning on setting up Proxmox and moving most services there. Some questions

This was a discussion about management solutions such as Proxmox and LXD and NOT about containerization technologies like Docker or LXC. Also Proxmox uses the Proxmox VE Kernel that is derived from Ubuntu.

Your comment makes no sense whatsoever. I’m not even sure you know the difference between LXD and LXC…
