I'm just waiting for someone to lecture me how the speed record in wheelchair sprint beats feet's ass...

Ultimately, it doesn't matter what caused you to be blocked from Docker Hub due to rate-limiting. When you're in that scenario, it's most cost efficient to buy your way out.

If you can't even imagine what would lead up to such a situation, congratulations, because it really sucks.

Yes, there should be a cache. But sometimes people force pull images on service start, to ensure they get the latest "latest" tag. Every tag floats, not just "latest". Lots of people don't pin digests in their OCI references. This almost implies wanting to refresh cached tags regularly. Especially when you start critical services, you might pull their tag in case it drifted.

Consider you have multiple hosts in your home lab, all running a good couple services, you roll out that new container runtime upgrade to your network, it resets all caches and restarts all services. Some pulls fail. Some of them are for DNS and other critical services. Suddenly your entire network is down, and you can't even get on the Internet, because your pihole doesn't start. You can't recover, because you're rate-limited.

I've been there a couple of times until I worked on better resilience, but relying on docker.io is still a problem in general. I did pay them for quite some time.

This is only one scenario where their service bit me. As a developer, it gets even more unpleasant, and I'm not talking commercial.

OCI

Where are their numbers coming from? The central registry of carbon emissions for genAI data centers? They know shit. They're probably shorting Nvidia and are crying over their losses. Fuck Morgan Stanley

They do. Reality is not going to change though. You can enable a handicapped developer to code with LLMs, but you can't win a foot race by using a wheelchair.

In short, untreated mental illness

Right. And then they locate it and search the rooms nearby. Exactly what their disclaimer is about

It's the way to go, but too difficult for most users in my experience. They rather just install Docker Desktop and use git bash. Sad reality

Just FYI, you need very little skill to clone the WiFi access gateway of a hotel WiFi, and then blast their SSID from your router, to lure close guests into your honeypot. Once people are on your malicious gateway, the fun starts.

In a hotel with hundreds of hackers on alcohol, it's not unlikely for people to fuck around.

There is also no requirement to be a "good guy" to attend the conference.

It really does suck when you're in a debate and the other person defuses all your points with facts. It would have been far nicer if the other person looked stupid. If they don't actually know anything, like myself, that's also kinda dishonest to just have those facts. Especially when it's a debate in the election, which is really a game show on TV, and not about real politics. Shameful behavior

He can't sell shit. Nobody wants the stock now. Even less when he loses. Once he pumps even a tiny fragment of his share into the market, the price will go to 0.
