Youre talking about Linux containers on Windows, I think commenter above was referring to windows containers on Windows, which is its own special hell for lucky folks like me.

Otherwise I totally agree. Ive done both setups without docker desktop.

Windows container runtime is free as well, simply install the docker runtime from chocolatey or winget along with the Windows Containers and Hyper-V windows features. This is what we do on some build machines for CI.

Theres no reason to use desktop other than “ease of use”

I wish it would have 2 ports, top and bottom, so I can be more creative with my accessories.

Love it. I’m gonna name my next cat ASCII now tho…

Tramp, ASCII and Neo?

It tends to break when you force power off the machine in my experience, where ext4 is super resilient to that kind of stuff.

Thats my experience at least.

Funny packets make things behave funny sometimes. Sometimes you just need to see how something behaves when you send it illegal packets that the real software would never send.

It also makes it possible to cheat in some games by lying to the game server about interactions in game.

Essentially hackers need a way to talk to machines at every level of every protocol and Scapy is a pretty standard way of achieving that.

Unfortunately a lot of rentals dont have their own laundry, or have to use a shared building laundry.

At my last place we had to pay 3$ for a wash and 6$ for a dry. Had to use a credit/debit machine to load a card, and the machine was frequently broken, so I’d have to go to another building in the area to reload it, but I’d have to wait for someone to let me tailgate in the lobby.

Just own it is like saying people should just buy homes or move to a better apt.

I had a headhunter complain to me on LinkedIn about ignoring their connection request, as if I owe them something. They really are unhinged sometimes.

Yeah this is a good analogy, except it comes from tooling that would allow any n64 game to be converted with some work.

Like an openmw generator for any Bethesda game.

Specifically the album “audio video disco”

Oh I’ll have to check that out I thought I read something about that method being patched.

Tho I do like just booting a new install and its already activated automatically :P

if you’re in the know, check out vlmcsd on github and “test” windows enterprise with KMS. It can run on everything from a pi, to docker, to openwrt. If you’re really gangster, you can set up SRV records and get auto activation on your lan

Holy shit, that’s actually hilarious, I imagine someone would have noticed when their paste/auto type password managers didn’t work

For those confused, this sounds like instead of making a real website, they spin up a vm, embed a remote desktop tool into their website and have you login through chrome running on their VM, this is sooooo sketch it, its unreal anyone would use this in a public product.

Imagine if to sign into facebook from an app, you had to go to someone else’s computer, login and save your credentials on their PC, would that be a good idea?

I think you could boil it down to something like Set-ADUser bob -otherattributes {uidNumber=1005, gidNumber=1005}

sorry I don’t have any real documentation but I have a snippet of powershell that explains it pretty well here this comes from a user creation script I wrote back when they removed the unix UI.

I was using Get-AdUser and discovered that the properties still existed but you have to manually shove those in, when an sssd “domain bound” linux machine has a user with these props login, they get the defined UID and GID and homefolder etc.

$otherAttributes = @{}
Write-Host -ForegroundColor Yellow "Adding Linux Attributes"

# get the next numeric uid number from AD
$uidNumber=((get-aduser -Filter * -Properties * | where-object {$_.uidNumber} | select uidNumber | sort uidNumber | select -Last 1).uidNumber)+1

$otherAttributes.Add("unixHomeDirectory","/homefolder/path/$($samAccountName)")
$otherAttributes.Add("uid","$($samAccountName)")
$otherAttributes.Add("gidNumber","$($gidNumber)")
$otherAttributes.Add("uidNumber","$($uidNumber)")
$otherAttributes.Add("loginShell","$($loginShell)")

$UserArgs = @{
    Credential = $creds
    Enabled = $true
    ChangePasswordAtLogon = $true
    Path = $usersOU
    HomeDirectory = "$homeDirPath\$samAccountName"
    HomeDrive = $homeDriveLetter
    GivenName = $firstName
    Surname = $lastName
    DisplayName = $displayName
    SamAccountName = $samAccountName
    Name = $displayName
    AccountPassword = $securePW
    UserPrincipalName = "$($aliasName)@DOMAIN.COM"
    OtherAttributes = $otherAttributes
}

$newUser = New-ADUser @UserArgs

basically the “OtherAttributes” on the ADUser object is a hashtable that holds all the special additional LDAP attributes, so in this example we use $otherAttributes to add all the fields we need, you can do the same with “Set-Aduser” if you just wanna edit an existing user and add these props

the @thing on New-ADuser is called a splat, very useful if you’re not familiar, it turns a hashtable into arguments

lemme know if you have any questions

I like ydotool, uses a systemd user service, but fulfills my needs of KB shortcuts to paste text into vnc sessions

Microsoft pulled those from the UI, but if you’re adventurous you can just shove those attributes in to user with power shell and it works the same.

Then just use sssd instead of NIS, surprised me at work when this worked.

That’s super interesting to me, any references for a software person who wants to find some overlap with philosophy? I know very little about the subject.

Give me some artists and I’ll look em up for you.
