I had a weird Windows Defender SmartScreen looking popup about updating copoilet that only gave me the option to close, saying I shouldn't open certain apps until it's done. I have Ublock and noscript on so I don't think it's from a popup, and malwarebtyes and anything else cannot find any viruses or malware. What the fuck is windows doing?

>>107890043Oh. I looked in event viewer and I didn't see anything odd either. That's pretty gay though.
>>107889889what's the better option, using docker or an LXC container?
>>107890099Just make sure you have the latest build and check for updates frequently. I usually check for updates before I open any web browsers myself.
It's amazing how much you unbottleneck your PC hardware by just switching to Linux instead of using Windows.
>>107890135certain software still only supports windows with WINE compatibility not being the best.
>>107890148Majority of Windows software today is literally Electron or some Chrome webapp.
>>107890043Don't post that scum ever again.
>>107890110Docker only works for individual applications.LXC/LXD are system containers, meaning you have services, logs, scheduled tasks, and so on, just like in a real OS.
>>107890160Blame whoever came up with the failed (and pushed) streamed app shit. Now Apple wants to start renting apps and I can't even find videos about Google, streaming and apps without a flood of results about their new TV streamer.Streaming *everything* is what these companies want. They'll stream you oxygen if they can get the patent.
>>107889708I think I got it running (?) but I need to manually run >modprobe -r thinkpad_acpi>modprobe thinkpad_acpi fan_control=1And start the thinkfan.service everytime I boot. Wiki says something about generating initramfs manually but I'm confused by it. How do I do that?
>>107890349So if I want to run... idk a tor gateway or i2p router in a container to be used with other software (lets say, a web browser)is better to run these services/applications as multiple dockers that communicate with each other (with docker compose) or run them in a single / multiple lxc container(s)?I guess what I'm also getting at is, apart from portability reasons, why is docker more popular if you can do the same with lxc with all the benefits of system containers? Being lightweight can't be the reason since you can use alpine for lxc and I don't see it as inherently more secure since it runs as root ....
>>107890539it is never always better to use one over the other, or else both wouldn't exist >why is docker more popular if you can do the same with lxc with all the benefits of system containers?time to market, LXD is younger than docker, config for LXC containers pre LXD was more tedious which is a problem Docker solved, as it was originally based on LXC
>>107890539>is it betterYou decide. If everything you need is already packaged as Docker images then use docker. If it's packaged as Linux deb/rpm then use LXC.Me? I run docker inside LXC because I only need it to build docker images and fuck giving docker root on my server.Another major difference to consider: docker containers are ephemeral and any data you modify or create inside them is gone on restart (unless you put it on a volume), whereas LXC containers work like VMs – all data is there after a restart.
>>107890553>it is never always better to use one over the other, or else both wouldn't exist but if you have a linux server and aren't using orchestration tools, why would you ever use docker?red pill me on LXD / Incus ... how is it an improvement on LXC? (or even something like podman that gets shilled)
>>107890728>docker containers are ephemeral and any data you modify or create inside them is gone on restart what's the reasoning behind this? why would you not what your changes to persist?
>>107890742I started to use LXD just to try things out in CentOS (without installing it) because I was running Ubuntu on my work laptop while most customers had CentOS servers. It was very easy to get up and running.An LXC container is set up like any computer, you install packages, enable SSH, configure networking, enable services, the lot. Just the kernel is inherited from the host OS.I configure my containers with Ansible, SSH into them to tweak configuration or install updates, and sometimes upgrade them in place just like I'd do on a physical server.So for me LXC replaces VMs (although LXD/Incus can spawn real VMs, I don't have a use for that yet).
>>107890742I am not pro Docker, Podman runs docker containers without the daemon, aka OCI containers LXD is a tool to interface with LXC, it still uses LXC under the hood, these system containers are not standardized between vendors, so it is mostly preference, ecosystem and documentation that makes the difference
