Oh thanks, I know well about it. podman unshare is the reason why those permission issues are not major (eg.: you don’t need to ever sudo to solve the permission issues rootless causes, I think?). But my going to was more focused o borking the output or workflow of using some of the “usual” tools of a Linux console, such as needing to account for the potential existence of a podman environment on the user account (or any given user account, if doing house cleaning under root) if you ever need to rely on the recursive results of things like chmod or find.

Nothing (well maaaaaaybe IRC) beats XMPP / Jabber when it comes to installing for small institutional needs. There are pretty good servers around, such as Prosody.

I can understand the point that Word is needed for producing some borked, glitched, eldritch formatting that 99% of people expect as correct because Office is that much widespread and has trained people to be Wrong on the Internet; and in that case yeah I would still recommend running a(n older version of!) Office just so that you can process (and test) that you are producing what is expected in the exchange.

It’s curious actually. While LO compatibility has improved, I don’t think anything close to an umbrella “Imitate Word [$VERSION] Glitches” option has ever been added or even considered for LO? How about the other Word imitators? Can eg.: WPS or Calligra replicate Microslop idosyncracies? Because if so, running those would be better than running Office on a remote.

It’s pretty great, and I like that the workflow for creating containers is sliiiightly easier than on Docker. I switched from Docker to Podman for most stuff about a year ago and so far there are only two hiccups that I lament:

• the higher disk consumption due to not being able to share image storage. (I’ve tried with additionalstorages but that seems to only be respected for podman run; podman build and podman compose seem to ignore it and always pull images from the registries)

• Some annoying isses with fule permissions due to rootless design - running rootless containers will create files under your user storage that you as a user have no permission to transfer or remove for cleanup or security, and severely breaks the output of tools like du or find due to error spammage.

If the only thing you need is not even the whole Office suite but just a Word processor (and not even any particular version) and since you’ll be remoting to it for the graphical access, you don’t need to spin up a whole Windows VM for that. You can just spin up something with Wine and install the Word component from Office 2013 on that (I’d say Office 2013 at most; you might be able to get away with Office 2007 but I wouldn’t recommend it).

It’s only illegal if “here” files a lawsuit against Microsoft.

Will it?

Only 10 minutes credits? That’s weak.

You vote so that, when things still fail, revolution is justified.

XMPP is the best among the listed options, although ??? is not that far behind (or wouldn’t be, I still can’t find a mobile app, does anyone know one???). Good servers include Snikket, ejabberd and Prosody. It’s also the best fit for a small and/or private installation because it’s quite light (not lightweight like IRC, but still light), whereas Matrix is a nu-protocol and this quite hefty on resources, and honestly I have never seen benchmarks on what running a ??? service is like, not even for the official Docker container.

I don’t recall but given the changes to the underlying components, I’d take it lasted at most up tp Windows 98.

Ooooh I see some names from the Ars Javetia.

An Rπ is lite enough that you can send a bunch of those to the Moon. After that all you need is a solar panel, good LAN wiring and a satcom link.

What does capitalism do but logically terminate resources?

But note taken. I just think the comparison is inspiring.

More like Microslopya Nadella amirite? :p

Instructions unclear, I now support the Frente Patriótico Eduardo Artés.

I understood it as enabling exit in addition to /exit. It’s honestly a reasonable request unless “exit” is already an internal keyword. I assume the presence of “/exit” in the text also somehow affects an effect on the Microslop bot misbehaving.

Yeah it’s like the Microslop AI is so committed to the importance of smelling its own farts.

What is capitalism if not recursion? Spending more and more resources on falling into a bottomless pit.

Thanks for the notice! Did not know Microslop does that on the mobile render.
