  • I’ve worked with Swarm in a startup setting. It was an absolute nightmare. We eventually gave up and moved to Kubernetes.

    That said, your use case does sound simpler. As I recall, we had to set up service discovery (with Hashicorp Consul) and secret management (with Hashicorp Vault) ourselves. I believe we also used Traefik for load balancing. There were other components as well, but I don’t remember it all. This was over 5 years ago, though.

    The difficulty wasn’t configuring each piece but getting them to work together. There was also the time burned learning all the different tools. Kubernetes is great because everything is meant to work together.

    But if it’s just two machines with separate configuration, do you even need orchestration? Is there a lot of overhead to just manage them individually?

    Unfortunately, it was too long ago to remember the details of differences between compose and swarm. I do remember it was a very trivial conversion.





  • No one said anything about pulling SEA into a war. No one said anything about Europe forcing SEA like colonizers. Shit has changed in the past few decades.

    NATO is a mutual defense pact. He’s just talking about setting up a similar defense pact in SEA and East Asia.

    As mentioned, SEA is relevant because those nations have the potential to be China’s Ukraine.

    SEA is likely to be open to some kind of mutual defense pact, as China has been testing borders for a long time, especially in the South China Sea. I believe the only reason they haven’t is because of smaller military, trade relations with China, and the unlikely support of East Asia. East Asia looks down on SEA. If Europe engages in more trade, offers military support, and mediates improved relations between SEA and East Asia, I think a mutual defense pact is all but given. That said, the trade and military support are a tall order.

    In any case, this is basically reciprocal action. See the comment about dogs shitting in yards.



  • I’ll give a more detailed answer.

    Docker doesn’t help you in the development of the website. Docker helps you with the deployment of the website.

    The purpose of Docker is to give you a consistent environment. When you create a Docker “image,” that image includes all of the files and software required to run the website. Then on some computer accessible by the public internet, you can just download that “image” and run your website using a “container” created from the image.

    You can think of the image as the blueprint of all the bits and pieces needed to run your website. The container is basically all those pieces put into action to actually run the website.

    Now, depending on your website, you may not even need Docker. If it’s frontend-only, you could use some service like Vercel, where you don’t even need Docker.

    Can you share more info about your current level of knowledge and the website you want to make?


  • This is short-sighted. It also reeks of “Fuck you, I got mine!” I know that’s not your intention. I just think you haven’t thought super hard about it. I was the same with privacy concerns.

    So let me throw some edge cases at you.

    You remember the network time protocol vulnerability that was used to power botnets for a little bit? Well, until everyone upgraded their shit, service providers had to just block IP ranges of compromised machines until enough machines in that block stopped DDoS’ing them.

    So what happens when some script kiddy pays for time on the botnet, which includes your box, to smash Wizards while you’re trying to look things up? Or what if someone uses your box as a jump box to go attack some giant corporation, and shit gets traced back to you? Or what if someone decides you’re the unlucky one where their whole goal is to dominate your entire home network, and they get your phone when it’s on your home wifi?









  • How are you defining “normal?”

    I think the main thing is that Korea’s government still has some fear of its people, which is very, very important. Enough stupid moves and millions of citizens can be on your doorstep (see Park Geunhe).

    Yes, there’s a bunch of corruption. Yes, working culture blows. Yes, birth rates have been tanking for a reason (but reversed recently?!).

    But there’s a reason those soldiers heading to the parliament building had no ammo except one guy in a squad with less lethal rounds. There’s a reason the martial law was ended so quickly. There’s a reason Yoon is actually getting his on a reasonable timescale.

    In Korea, once you hit that tipping point of people realizing you’re a dick, you’re gonna have a real bad time.
