The play is on the meaning of alone, is my read.

It's not that we are alone in the sense that you define it. It's that we are alone in the sense of lonely; the odds are that we'll never get a chance to meet any others.

    What people take away for themselves is a function of their already-existing bias. I watched south park during a formative period of my life and the lesson I took away is that everything can be laughed at, and how ridiculous some of the things we take for granted are.

    I can answer that as an Indian casually in the market for an EV. The infrastructure isn't really as good as western countries. Charging stations aren't easy to find outside of major highways, and they aren't as visible.

    For intra-city users:

    EVs are considerably more expensive than ICEs and India is a very price-sensitive market. The biggest successes for EVs here are Tata Nexons, for example. The ICE version starts at almost half the price of the EV.

    Buyers will compare and run the numbers and unless you use it a lot, it can go either way. That combined with the iffy infrastructure is enough to make many people just go for ICE right now, in the hope that their next car will be an EV, when prices come down and tech is next-gen.

    It is bound to happen. Prices are falling and more EVs are on the road, but it hasn't reached critical mass yet.

    Also, BYDs are actually quite expensive here compared to home grown solutions. Check the Tata EV range out.

    Another factor that you're overlooking is that India has a huge market of 2 wheelers, 3 wheelers and mini trucks. That's a space where EVs make a lot of sense. They pay for themselves the more you use them.

    So in food delivery, logistics, courier services etc., there's already a very noticeable shift in motion, and that's promising.

    SD cards don't perform wear leveling while ssds do. This is why there are specific SD cards meant for surveillance cameras. They have additional wear levelling circuitry at the expense of speed.

    So photographers who fill up their sd cards end up writing over the same spots repeatedly and wear them out.

    Hi, I'm just getting started with Docker, so apologies in advance if this seems silly.

    I used to self-host multiple services (RSS reader, invoicing software, personal wiki) directly on a VPS using nginx and mariadb. I messed it up recently and am starting again, but this time I took the docker route.

    So I've set up the invoicing software (InvoiceNinja), and everything is working as I want.

    Now that I want to add the other services (ttrss and dokuwiki), should I set up new containers? It feels wasteful.

    Instead, if I add additional configs to the existing servers that the InvoiceNinja docker-compose generated (nginx and mysql), I'm worried that an update to Invoiceninja would have a chance of messing up the other setups as well.

    It shouldn't, from my understanding of how docker containers work, but I'm not 100% sure. What would be the best way to proceed?
