Though gitea is admittedly also a pretty bad name. Is it “gitti” (like tea), or “git-e-a”?

Oh, it’s actually 0-click (though a couple dozen key presses)

Why?

It’s IMO also so much clearer regarding data types. You can’t accidentally write a boolean when you want a string.

No, it’s not a thing, it’s literally what I described earlier - QEMU in a Docker container. That’s why the Dockerfile imports files from QEMU, and why the entrypoint starts the VM using QEMU. The project this whole thread is about uses dockur/windows as the base.

It will never be a thing.

That will unfortunately never be a thing. They could theoretically do a “Docker machine” like setup to support actual Windows containers, but there’s probably not enough interest in that.

Docker and Podman can’t run Windows VMs by themselves. These containers use QEMU, so it’s essentially a pre-made setup for what you already had.

I haven’t yet run into any piece of software that’s fundamentally incompatible with the immutable model thanks to distrobox. This also means I don’t have any packages layered, so updates are very quick.

What is Pete Davidson doing to that poor soul?

Then please explain to me one simple thing - how do you implement sanctions when they can be circumvented by setting up a single company?

No, it’s not new or strange. It’s a normal component of sanctions, and it’s fundamentally how they’re implemented. Otherwise you could circumvent them by setting up two companies.

It becomes impossible to predict which companies and services may be suddenly impacted.

It’s pretty easy to predict. Do you do business with a sanctioned country? Then you’ll be impacted. Easy enough.

I’m all for the EU sanctions against Russia, and consequences for those entities breaching them. But Microsoft didn’t breach the sanctions, and should be used as a tool to punish those that do.

Are you under the impression that Microsoft is being punished in any way? They aren’t, they’re simply not allowed to do business with companies acting against sanctions if they want to keep doing business in the EU.

I don’t know why you’re acting like this is such a strange thing.

Nayara supplies & operates in a sanctioned country. The EU doesn’t want companies supplying companies that do so. If Microsoft wants to keep operating in the EU, they aren’t allowed to keep supplying companies that do so.

Of course there is an indication that Microsoft was legally obligated to suspend their service in this case:

In this instance, the cutoff was sought by the European Union (EU), in an attempt to pressure Russia to back off its assaults on Ukraine.

If they wish to operate in the EU, they have to follow some of the EU’s demands.

It’s like getting the power company to cut your electricity because you have unpaid parking tickets - It’s probabkly a great way to get parking offenders to pay what they owe, but it undermines trust in general, yes?

It’s more like “getting your accounts frozen because you operate in a country that has sanctions against it”. Which is a totally normal thing to do. Companies cutting off other companies that operate in countries which attack other countries doesn’t undermine my trust - companies continuing to operate in such countries undermines it.

It’s the way it should work. A private company can only be compelled to enforce a government demand under due process of the applicable jurisdiction. Ensures trust through transparency.

They are compelled to enforce a government demand under due process of the applicable jurisdiction. For a multinational corporation, the applicable jurisdiction are all the jurisdictions they operate in. Since multinational corporations exist to funnel profits into their host country, that country has the ability to compel them under due process in other countries.

You might argue that it’s not good for companies to be this large, and I’d agree. You might also argue that specific sanctions aren’t good, and I’d agree. But the idea that a companies ToS should supercede jurisdictions and that they shouldn’t be curtailed by the governments under which they operate is fundamentally corrosive to the concept of statehood.

Sanctions exist to restrict trade with other countries. This can’t work if companies can just ignore sanctions, and I don’t want e.g. european companies to ignore sanctions against Russia.

“Sorry government, I can’t enforce your sanctions, my ToS don’t allow me”

Do you really think this works?

Ah, I see, thanks.

They list unprivileged Docker as the main install method, do you have any references to LXC?

No?! Have you read the title of this post?

What? No. If DLSS requires less memory, you can use more memory for other things. This means you can use a less beefy GPU, which is worse for Nvidia.
