It means your coffee pod machine just came online and the coffee is currently spewing from the spout … probably.

Very cool, didn’t know this existed!

If it’s never happened to you, how would you know that it’s happening at all?

Skin cancer is like an iceberg, what’s under the skin is what will kill you. Go and see your doctor.

Between the clickbait, YouTube “enhancements”, exploding AI slop videos and the atrocious search facility, the platform is rapidly becoming completely unusable for finding relevant information when you’re looking for answers.

As an entertainment platform it’s forcing creators to make long form content and making viewers sit through more and more low quality content.

It’s evolving, but I’m pretty sure it’s heading towards extinction, rather than greatness.

… and your point is?

I wonder what the criteria are to define what an artist is, or what requirements are needed to qualify for such assistance.

Unlikely.

You underestimate the size of the Universe. There’s 8 billion people on Earth, there’s about 200 billion stars in our galaxy, and between 100 billion to 200 billion galaxies in the observable universe.

How would you suggest I respond in the future?

We have a person, claiming that CUPS doesn’t work and they now uninstall it on every installation.

There is no context, no data, no information that suggests what the issue is, what they tried, when this occurred, on which platform, under which conditions.

In other words, the user was essentially saying “CUPS sux”.

Having used Linux as my main system for over 25 years, that sentiment did not match my own experience, does not help anyone, not me, not the user and not the OP who was trying to solve a problem, let alone anyone else reading along.

I responded accordingly.

This has not been my experience … at … all.

Perhaps it would be helpful to discover what exactly doesn’t work for you and fix that, rather than remove CUPS because one time it didn’t work for you seven years ago.

You could print to CUPS from the other devices and potentially bypass all those shenanigans.

Also, CUPS has a PDF printer which saves you from even heating up your printer at all … I haven’t had a printer in my life for over 25 years.

It uses a security feature of Linux called cgroups or control groups to limit access to resources at a kernel level.

It’s used all over the place, including as the basis of Docker.

There’s a common but persistent misconception that Docker is like running a virtual machine. This is understandable but incorrect.

A better way to think of it is as a security wrapper around an untrusted process.

If you look at your running processes whilst a container is running, you’ll see the processes inside the container running on your “host” machine - remember, it’s not a host - guest situation.

There is no relationship between the user inside the container, unless you start mapping the UID and GID.

The only exception to this is the root user which shares the UID/GID with the actual root user.

See: https://www.howtogeek.com/devops/why-processes-in-docker-containers-shouldnt-run-as-root/

Edit: I suspect, but don’t know for sure, that the root user inside the container is actually the same user as the one running the Docker process, which is typically the root user on the “host”.

1. The Docker container should change the user to an internal one (created by the build stage) and the process should run as that user.
2. The uid and gid can be specified at runtime.

See: https://www.docker.com/blog/understanding-the-docker-user-instruction/

And we’re still stuck with its aftermath in that search engines require quotes rather than a + for requiring words, which they now ignore whenever the mood strikes.

Why?

Because some fuckwit at Google decided that the + was reserved for Google+ search results.

This seems at first glance at least potentially doable.

Create a website with content that’s only rendered with JavaScript and embed a miner.

Your challenge is to get the work product back, but you might be able to create dynamically generated URLs that show up in your logs as the work result.

You’d have to find a way to chunk the work and make it such that the work required is enough to be valuable to you, but not so costly as to stop the crawlers from using your site.

I suspect that in order for this to actually happen you’d have to have a significant infrastructure to deal with the crawler load, which you could instead be using to do the actual work.

Ultimately I suspect that this is the software equivalent of a perpetual motion machine, cute in theory, physically impossible.

Good luck!
