@luke_nukem @rust why even limit it?

@rust I guess my hope is that not only will I "get" Rust, but that Rust will be a sufficient improvement over other languages to justify my time. I'll keep plugging away in the meanwhile...

@rust The more time I spend apart from #Rust, the more I wished I used it. Then I inevitably try writing it and remember that even simply copying things requires jumping through hoops. I really want to like it, and maybe eventually I'll spend enough time with it and see the light, but until then, back to #golang.

I love vim, but in 30 years it still hasn't gotten word wrapping right.

Does anyone know how to make #Docker instances join a particular #swarm on boot?

@redacted seems like you could extract everything to a temporary location and when the full install succeeds, promote it to permenant storage, else delete it. If a dependency is unreachable, you would fail faster by downloading in parallel.

@Doppio disregard previous question. Just scrolled far enough down my feed to see thus.

@Doppio what are you trapping and why?

@CobaltVelvet I agree; I definitely wouldn't share the host with untrusted containers, but I can live without mixing kernels. The last time I cared about kernel features was 2014 and those features were required to run Docker. If you need multiple kernels, it seems reasonable to deploy multiple base box images and let your orchestration service manage scheduling the right containers to the right hosts, but I would think keeping your base host image up to date would suffice 99.9% of the time.

@redacted cool. Thanks for the link! I guess I've just been spoiled by #golang; I expect every software to efficiently use resources.

Am I misunderstanding, or does apt-get download and unpack sequentially?

It seems to download each dependency one by one and then unpack them one by one. Presumably it could be streaming several downloads at once, and once one finishes, it could be unpacked by the CPU while other downloads are in progress.

@Siphonay ENSAI in campus de Ker Lann.

@Siphonay I don't have the meme, but it sounds like a good social lesson. Unfortunately I suspect like so many memes, it will be weaponized against one ideological faction even though it applies equally to all of them.

In other news, your profile says you're in Rennes--I studied there in 2012.

@CobaltVelvet Why would VMs be preferable to Docker? They provide better isolation guarantees, but they're super inefficient (in pretty much every dimension), and you can get a very long way toward isolation with Docker + AppArmor or SELinux.

@CobaltVelvet @PLA @me

I'd be very curious to know what the resource consumption of a Mastodon instance looks like. I'm tempted to rewrite it in #golang and compare the performance, since it seems its not uncommon for a single Go application to do the work of 30 #ruby servers.

@Masek Yeah, very rarely do my hobby projects actually serve a useful function (if they complete at all); I've long since decided "because I can" is as good a reason as any to do a particular thing.
