I have had to deal with dependency hells plenty, i am a Debian user after all.

But with that argument you’re now just running outdated shit in a container. Not a great pro-docker argument tbh.

What? Outdated junk running in containers because the maintainer didnt update their shit is not a real problem?

Seems that it is perhaps you who doesnt know how to use it.

Why not have the option for both?

I dont see how this is a defense for jamming everything in to a container.

I agree that LLMs should be opt-in.

However i am often working on projects with garbage or huge documentation, or community boards, that in the past would require a good bit of googlefu to figure out.

Google became absolutely useless for that task. LLMs saved internet search that isnt shallow.

Docker has its uses, but it has gone to far.

I already have a webserver with Apache, mariadb and everything. Why does your PHP based website only come as a docker solution? Fuck you.

When you go all in with docker, it quickly becomes a mess with rando NICs and containers named “random 32 character string” and dependencies up the wazoo. Ending up running ancient packages because the developer refuses to apt upgrade their shit.

Proxmox or any other hypervisor platform gives you control. Whereas you have to take it for docker and youre still at the mercy or the developers to keep your shit secure.

Yeah, google been shit for over a decade now. Not long after SEO became the norm and Google figured out a way to profit from it.

LLMs have saved internet searching. For the first time in years, i am getting (usually) relevant information for my questions.

And not some sponsored or SEO optimized shithole.
