Every now and then, someone writes Yet Another Opinion Piece about how online anonymity is bad and we should only have legal names, often completely ignoring the fact that most white folks feel perfectly safe proclaiming all sorts of hate and bullshit using their real name, without ever encountering any sort of consequence.
Also, the problem youβre trying to solve is pretty much always something that hasnβt got anything to do with names, legal or not.
Stop publishing that nonsense.
Designing algorithms to return definitive results and then getting duped by conspiracy theorists is embarrassing; doing the same and getting pwned by the hapless stupidity of large language models is malpractice.
IMO this is not simply a matter of Google's algorithms being no good. What's going on here is that Google is playing a losing game by trying to extract true information from the web algorithmically. Why would Google choose to play a game it could only lose?
apparently, yes you can do this
so this could be a plan?!
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59862387/how-to-deploy-php-fpm-on-docker-container-and-apache-nginx-on-localhost-ubuntu
so my 2nd thought is, what if i just have the one web server, running natively, and then only a php-fpm container for each domain, and the server just routes traffic to those containers?
this seems like it's quite easy to do with nginx, i think
however: i'm currently running apache & the ideal would be to gradually switch sites over, so i'm wondering if there's a way to do that with apache instead, so i could have nonconverted sites running as-is and converted ones running in docker
so where i've got so far is -
I have multiple sites running on the same VPS and my general idea is "one domain/subdomain = one containerised 'app'"
so my first thought was each could be self contained & have its own web server, but ofc multiple web servers can't listen on the same ports so "something" would have to route between them
and apparently that something has to be *another* web server acting as a reverse proxy
which feels like it's getting overcomplicated. too many servers
recently at work i set up a dev environment for a new project using docker from scratch and it was actually a big piece of piss so that's what's got me thinking along those lines
i suppose it adds overhead on the server though & probably raises plenty of its own maintenance problems. there's still a lot i don't understand about it
thinking in an effort to make my various websites more manageable i might start running them through docker maybe?
cos a problem i have is, it all runs in PHP and all on the same server so if I want to update PHP then I need to make sure Everything is compatible with the new version all at once, from the blogs to the wiki to ye olde neofuji and even my one surviving twitter bot. but if they were in separate containers then they could all just coexist with different versions
@Foxhack i'm like 99% sure it's just one person pretending to be multiple lol
the IP address is the same & all the posts were made within 25 mins
@Foxhack it's probably a children i'm not gonna hold it against them
tbh its quite impressive that these blogs with their fully open no-registration no-captcha comments fields still don't get much automated spam
