For some context, it’s because Indian movies were conventionally much longer in length (2.5 to 3 hours). Movies are written to have a cliffhanger at the interval, so much so that it’s sometimes referred to as a meta joke.

Just cause 4. I loved fooling around in JC3 and almost 100%ed it a couple of years back, barring some challenges I couldn’t find. I’ve read so much about 4 being a downgrade that i didn’t bother.

I had it on gamepass though and tried it a week ago. The cut scenes are atrocious but the story is compelling enough, and the villains actually seem more interesting. Other than the graphics, the actual art design is pretty good and it’s a good change of pace through a South American setting.

More secure: any bootloader tampering happening via physical access to the device will trip the warning.

More compatible: some apps (banks usually) flag an unlocked bootloader as a security threat.

The skybox in E1 is from China FYI! E2 is from Zion National park. So if you really want to, you can explore them :)

A thread on DW with sources.

That’s an interesting example. Here in my city there was a case of a transport officer crashing his car into someone. He smelled of alcohol and was slurring and it was in the news cycle with great outrage and irony.

A few days later news broke that he had died of diabetes-related complications. Apparently the smell was not alcohol, it was ketones from him being hyperglycemic.

Going back to your “standards” statement, for an individual it would make sense not to get into a car this person drives. At the same time it makes sense for the court not to convict him until he is proven guilty. Both standards have their place and rightfully so.

This is promising, thanks!

That was my impression as well. But since I’m on a low-RAM VPS any overhead in RAM adds up, and I wanted to know how process deduplication works before I get into it.

Yes this is what I want to do. My question is how docker manages shared processes between these apps (for example, if app1 uses mysql and app2 also uses mysql).

Does it take up the RAM of 2 mysql processes? It seems wasteful if that’s the case, especially since I’m on a low-RAM VPS. I’m getting conflicting answers, so it looks like I’ll have to try it out and see.

Aren’t containers the product of compose files? i.e. the compose files spin up containers. I understand the architecture, I’m just not sure about how docker streamlines separate containers running the same process (eg, mysql).

I’m getting some answers saying that it deduplicates, and others saying that it doesn’t. It looks more likely that it’s the former though.

I’m getting conflicting replies, so I’ll try running separate containers (which was the point of going the docker way anyway - to avoid version dependency problems).

If it doesn’t scale well I may just switch back to non-container hosting.

Thank you for an excellent explanation and blogpost. I’m getting conflicting answers, even on this question, but most authoritative sources do backup what you’re saying re:FS. I’m trying to wrap my head around how that works, specifically with heavy processes. I’m running on a VPS with 2 GiB of RAM and mysql is using 15% of that.

At this point I have my primary container running. I guess I’ll just have to try spinning up new ones and see how things scale.

What if your services need different database versions, or even software? Then different database containers is probably better.

This version-independence was what attracted me to docker in the first place, so if it doesn’t work well this way then I may just replace the setup with a conventional setup and deal with dependency hell like I used to - pantsseat.gif.

Thank you. Yes makes sense. I guess it’s fairly obvious in hindsight.

Yes, that’s exactly what I’m doing now, I was only unsure about how to map the remaining services - in the same docker containers, or in new ones.

That would be ideal, per my understanding of the architecture.

So will docker then minimize the system footprint for me? If I run two mysql containers, it won’t necessarily take twice the resources of a single mysql container? I’m seeing that the existing mysql process in top is using 15% of my VPS’s RAM, I don’t want to spin up another one if it’s going to scale linearly.

SFP: Small Factor Pluggable (I had to look it up)

Are you seriously suggesting that a game meant to run on Windows 98 runs better on wine than it does on Windows 98?

$5 to this person OP.

Linux isn’t going to help, and why the hell would you want to buy or pirate (and run the risk of malware) something you already own.

If your device is on this list and you’re technically-inclined, consider installing lineageOS.

Your original discussion with @lemillionsocks@beehaw.org, was about power usage while gaming, and the corresponding worst-case battery life. I was referring to this as efficiency.

I understand now that the term was misleading The M1 is 25% more frugal than the M2 under worst-case load.

You are absolutely right about efficiency. Even the (less efficient) M2 is way better than the 6800U for example under single-threaded load. It’s ~5W vs ~15W, around 3 times as power hungry as the M2, while performing slightly worse.

The M1 is around 25% more efficient than the M2.
