  • 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 always thought the simplest way to do it is to pass laws that require every website to provide a rating/content description and then leave it up to the end user to set acceptable levels. We don’t get mad for kids watching the wrong content on TV.

    Websites could be fined for either not providing or providing incorrect classifications.

    If people don’t want their kids to see that stuff, make sure the parents have the tools to enforce.



  • 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.







  • Yeah, I thought the big problem was mixing good and bad morrgages together to make the securities look like a higher quality mixed with somewhat unrestrained lending. So you had securities with high ratings containing junk mortgages passed around as a financial asset. When mortgages started to default, all those “high quality” assets began to sour.

    Essentially securities are just an asset vehicle and have no intrinsic issues, it was how mortgage securities were being packaged that was an issue.





  • Some of the commands I use a lot for debugging containers, in case you go down that route:

    • docker run --rm -it --entrypoint bash <image_name>
    • This command let’s you enter a docker image with bash so you can test commands and treat it like a temporary VM. Great way to see how the image is setup
    • docker exec -it <container_name>
    • This let’s you enter a running container with bash. A great way to inspect why something might not be working or check mounted volumes, etc.

  • Once you know how to use docker/containerization it’ll be the only way you want to deploy applications. Most popular applications will also have good guides on how to setup/config the container, but sometimes you’ll need to read up on docker and Linux to figure things out.
