Unfortunately for some of them even if the game works there are often cases where either mods don’t work or some overlay/other additional software.
On your answer though, I was under the impression that when you configure the KVM passthrough setup it makes the video card you use for the passthrough inaccessible for the host itself and that to make it accessible, it requires undoing some of the config and a restart. Is this incorrect?

Backwards compatibility - yes I agree, it’s quite good at it.
Hardware specific issues for any OSes - disagree. For windows that’s 80-90% done by the hardware manufacturer’s drivers. It’s not through an effort from Microsoft whether issues are fixed or not. For Linux it’s usually an effort of maintainers and if anything, Linux is famous for supporting old hardware that windows no longer works with.
But the point I was making is not to say Linux or osx is better than windows or vice versa, it’s that windows holds by far the largest market share in desktops and neither of the alternatives are really drop-in replacements. So in the end they have no pressure on them to improve UX since it’s infeasible to change OS for the majority of their users at the moment.
Aside from the effort required others have mentioned, there’s also an effect of capitalism.
For a lot of their tech, they have a near-monopoly or at least a very large market share. Take windows from Microsoft. What motivation would they have to fix bugs which impact even 5-10% of their userbase? Their only competition is linux with its’ around 4(?)% market share and osx which requires expensive hardware. Not fixing the bug just makes people annoyed, but 90% won’t leave because they can’t. As long as it doesn’t impact enterprise contracts it’s not worth it to fix it because the time spent doing that is a loss for shareholders, meanwhile new features which can collect data (like copilot for example) that can be sold generate money.
I’m sure even the devs in most places want to make better products and fight management to give them more time to deliver features so they can be better quality - but it’s an exhausting sharp uphill battle which never ends, and at the end of the day the person who made broken feature with data collector 9000 built in will probably get the promotion while the person who fixed 800 5+ year old bugs gets a shout-out on a zoom call.
Doesn’t count until it runs doom.
I haven’t used tailscale to know how well it works but as a current zerotier user I’ve been considering moving away from it.
I actually love the idea and it’s super simple to set up but has some very annoying pitfalls for me:
Pretty much all of the issues I’ve had were with devices that have to disconnect and re-connect from the network and/or devices that move between different networks (like laptop, phone). On my router, it’s been super stable. Point is, your mileage may vary - it’s worth trying but there are definitely issues.
I have no experience with this, but happened to have seen an interview with Ludwig Minelli, the founder of Dignitas (an organisation for assisted death). The man is 90+ and still fighting for this right. I believe I saw it in a video format, but I think this was the interview - I think it’s worth a read.
I’d suggest you look up the contact for the various organisations and reach out with your situation and questions to see what they say. They’re likely to be much better sources of information.
Use the buddy system. Years ago I had a work-friend, we’d just book meetings with each other a couple of times a week, go to a meeting room and just hang out, I taught him to juggle, or we’d watch an episode from a series etc.
It was fun feeling like we got away with something, but realistically nobody questioned it because we both got our work done and it was a good company where that mattered more than time spent at a desk.
I think I misunderstood your problem, I assumed the issue was the volume mounts and after testing it I was indeed wrong - the docker cli now accepts relative paths so your original command does the same as what I suggested. After re-reading your issue I have a different idea of what’s wrong, but would have to see your dockerfile (or for you to confirm) to be sure.
Do you add 10f.py to the docker image when you build it and do you specify the command/entrypoint in the Dockerfile? There are possibly to issues I can think of with how you do that (although considering the docker compose works it’s probably the 2nd):
/data in the image - when you mount a volume over it would make the script no longer exist in the container.docker run -v ./:/data -w /workdir tenfigers_10f:v1 10f.py is the last bit - you override the command which makes it try to look for it at /data/10f.py, if you omit it the last part (10f.py) it should run whatever the original command was and assuming you set the cmd/entrypoint correctly in the Dockerfile it should see /data as ./ in python.(Also when you run it with the CLI you might want to add -it --rm as well to the docker command otherwise it won’t really behave similarly to a regular command)
It works in docker compose because compose handles relative paths for the volumes, the docker CLI doesn’t.
You can achieve this by doing something like
docker run -v $(pwd):/data ...
pwd is a command that returns the current path as an absolute path, you can just run it by itself to see this. $() syntax is to execute the inner command separately before the shell runs the rest of it. (Same as backticks, just better practice)
I imagine that wouldn’t work on windows, but it would on either osx, Linux or wsl.
Generally speaking, if you need the file system access and your CLI requires some setup, I’d recommend either writing it in a statically compiled language (e.g. golang, rust) or researching how to compile a python script into an executable.
If you’re just mounting your script in the container - you’re better off adding it directly at build time.
Stuff like https://www.mdisc.com/ exist which claims 1000+ years of lifespan… Kinda difficult to assert whether it’s true or not tho.
I’m not sure how to respond to this, your answers lack detail or arguments to respond to. What difference does chartered Vs private make for emissions? It’s the same types of jets, just changes who actually owns them. It also makes no difference to the entire tax subsidized argument either.
As to “how many times”, as I said above I haven’t found a clear answer, but different sources claim between 10x and ~40x, even assuming the very low end of 10x, that’s a big difference. I assume the per passenger emission is hard to measure since the number of passengers on a plane make a big difference.
Either way, I believe I made my points in detail several times now, and as I said your responses don’t really raise points or include much detail to further things, so I’m going to leave it here.
As mentioned above, airport and airlines are heavily subsidized, this includes private airports and jets. For a limo, taxes pay for the road - but everyone can drive on it, so it’d exist with or without them. Maybe a better comparison would be if she had a bus that she travelled in alone, compared to the average person that’d be equally ridiculous.
The emissions of a limo is pretty much in line with the emissions of a family car. Most people wouldn’t have a small car and a family car for when they’re alone, so even if someone is alone on a limo, they’re probably not doing much more harm than the average person.
A private jet’s emissions are significantly more per passenger than a commercial plane. Even if a private jet always flies at max capacity - which I’d bet rarely happens - it’ll cause significantly more emissions per person than a commercial plane (it’s difficult to link a source here as I’ve not found an exact number. The estimates I’ve found range between 10 to 43x. Even assuming just 10x that’s quite a difference)
Yes, an airport limits the amount of people, has a very high coverage of surveillance and a high ratio of security staff as well as an entry barrier and dedicated VIP areas. A generic place outside has none of that. Although feel free to elaborate on how an airport is worse for security than just being on a street, anywhere.
To your second point, sure she doesn’t need to own them like nobody else does, but the issue (for me) is not primarily that she (or anyone) owns one, but that they [private jets and private airports] exist, and they’re subsidized by us as it was pointed out above. If anything, they should be priced outrageously so using them would come down last resort or emergency situations, and the money from that could help balance the cost of the “public” infrastructure. This is a failure of the government, but equally so of the rich who choose to continue using them for their luxury.
If that were true, there’d be a riot every time a very famous person goes outside for any reason.
I’m sure she’d be approached and photographed and her privacy violated as much as people can get to her in a private lounge, but unless they were to advertise she is going to a certain airport at a specific time, it’s incredibly unlikely she’d be mobbed. Ironically, flying publicly would make her movements harder to follow.
She can certainly afford to pay for 10 extra first class tickets for her staff, it’d most likely be much cheaper than owning her own jet. I’m sure the airports would also be thrilled to offer a private entrance and area for her/other famous people to be able to avoid even walking to her VIP lounge. Maybe they could help subsidize the airports instead of average people’s taxes paying for their private airports in part.
I’ve got https://www.philips-hue.com/en-gb/p/hue-hue-motion-sensor/8719514342125 these for motion sensors and they happen to have luminosity. They get fairly inaccurate once it’s relatively dark, plus the fact they’re primarily motion sensors
Same as others, convenience. You can entirely live without it, but after some learning curve it’s not much to maintain.
I’ve got opening sensors on all doors and windows so my heating turns off if something is open for a few minutes.
I’ve got a dark hallway with some movement sensors and smart bulbs so the lights can turn on when someone walks there, with the lights being dimmed if it’s late at night or not turning on if it’s super late or the luminosity sensor considers it already usable (e.g. on sunny days when there’s enough light bleeding in)
I’ve got smart bulbs in most rooms we use a lot which change the color temperature from warm to cold to warm over the course of the day depending on the sun position/time (it’s a dark country, we often need lights even during the day, especially during winter)
All in all, for me it was definitely worth the price and the investment, I’d not want to go back to not having them but I imagine for someone who hasn’t experienced it, it might seem superfluous or gimmicky.

Were you using it on some other dudes junk by any chance or something…? Cuz otherwise that seems like a leap.
