    Serious answer, I'm not sure why someone would run a VM to run just a container inside the VM, aside from the VM providing volumes (directories) to the VM. That said, VMs are perfectly capable of running containers, and can run multiple containers without issue. For work, our Gitlab instance has runners that are VMs that just run containers.

    Fun answer, have you heard of Docker in Docker?

  • Let's discuss: Hollow Knight

    Regarding Elden Ring, I would argue it does the sense of exploration better than Hollow Knight, but only by a small degree. For every area, there's no map at the start, and the entire map's size is obscured since it only shows what you've traveled through. It gets bigger as you go, but it's still obscured by a fog of war for areas that fit inside the map, but you don't have a map fragment for. You can see on the map where you can obtain the fragment, but not how to get there. Most times you can just cut a straight line to it, but sometimes it's a pain.

    All that said, the thing it does better than Hollow Knight for exploration is a limitation of Hollow Knight's map system. It's split into different rooms, and each room has finite entrances and exits. Because you fill out the map through exploration, you're going to know what you have and haven't found.

    Because Elden Ring gives you the entirety of the map, it's both helpful and not. You can figure out (mostly) how to get from point A to point B, and you have markers for everywhere you've been. There's two minor issues with that, though. It's a 2D map for a 3D world, which means you end up with some locations not being properly shown, because they're underneath cliffs. The second is that the map does almost nothing to show what places of interest there are. You have large buildings shown, but that excludes all the catacombs (dungeon areas) you can visit. There are areas on the map that are right there, but due to the topography you have no idea how to get there. Going by the map alone means you're going to miss out on a solid amount of the content available.

    It's because the map is so limiting that it feels so good. You're able to use it to figure where places are in directional relation, but you still have to look yourself to try and uncover areas. My first run, I prided myself on uncovering everything. I searched high and low, inspected the map to make sure I went to every corner, and really made sure I knew what was out there, and it felt amazing in terms of how much content there was and how much exploration you could do. I started a second run when the DLC came out, and found an area that, somehow, I had entirely missed. It took over a hundred and forty hours of searching, really searching, to get what I thought was complete, and it still wasn't. It was a fantastic feeling on my second run.

    Hollow Knight's map is excellent. The gameplay is excellent, the exploration is rewarding and challenging. But the issue it has is that it only has those two dimensions to work with. Elden Ring really works to emphasize that third dimension when scouring for secrets.

    I looked over their releases, and had no idea they released Whiplash and BlacKkKlansman. They kind of stand out from all the horror movies. I haven't seen a lot of their work, but I can recommend Hush and Get Out. Halloween is also a solid sequel, if you like the original.

    I thought I'd like Tails of Iron, but its biggest issue is that it tries to forgo dialogue with mouse squeaks. It's like nails on a chalkboard. I heavily suggest you watch the first few minutes of gameplay to figure out if you can endure it.

    Given that if both doors are locked it equals 0 on the battlefield, you would think that, but no. When it's not on the battlefield, its mana value is equal to the total cost of both doors, and it has both names. I assume this is so that you can't pull Expertise tricks with it. If you want all the known stuff about it, take a look here.

    I looked up the rules, and holy shit is it confusing when you get into detail.

    • You cast an Enchantment with a Room subtype and pay for either side. You ignore the other side.

    • If the Room has one side unlocked, you may unlock the other by paying the cost of the other side. This doesn't use the stack, and can't be responded to. Triggers that occur because of this can be responded to.

    • If the Room has neither side unlocked (maybe it got put into the battlefield with Open the Vaults or it got blinked), you can only open a side at sorcery speed, regardless of what was said in the bullet point above.

    • The mana value of a Room is equal to the unlocked doors. This room can have a mana value of 0, 2, 6, or 8, depending on what's unlocked.

    • If you copy a Room, you copy what is and isn't unlocked.

    Functionally, it's not bad, but the corner cases these cards have is crazy.

    I get that you're trying to say that the NDP was able to do something, but there's no evidence they were consulted on it. Given that it lasted less than a day before the strike was stopped, it was probably something the government didn't discuss long.

    The action was taken by a cabinet member to order the Canadian Industrial Relations Board to step in. The CIRB isn't controlled by any party. Singh came out with a statement that condemns the move, and says it signals that any federally-regulated field doesn't have to negotiate with workers in good faith. I don't know where you heard that any party has the ability to stop this other than the party who the current Minister of Labour belongs to, but no action was taken that needed to pass the House.

    Users can brute-force their way into reading private messages with Lemmy versions below 0.19.1. I know there was the question of federation issues previously, but it appears to have been largely mitigated with the later versions at this point. Are there any plans to upgrade pawb.social?

    Opening the inbox automatically brings up "mentions," but if you want to see private messages, you can click at the top and choose "all messages." Clicking *any* of those options though will crash the app. You can still access those options through the side window, just not the dropdown at the top while viewing the inbox.

    Hi guys, I've got a Bluesky code to give away, and I figured some of you guys would like it. Just a few requirements: * You must have been a member of pawb.social for at least two weeks. * You must have commented or posted on something in pawb.social in the past two weeks. Doesn't matter if you're doing so after this post either, though hopefully you'll keep being active. * To be entered, you need to reply to this post (which will not count toward the past two weeks' activity requirement). I'll be randomly picking someone after 48 hours, and I'll likely delete this post after another 24. Best of luck! Edit: It's been 48 hours, and of the 3 people who commented, only one actually didn't have Bluesky already, so DraconicNeo has been sent the code. I have to say the response has been surprising. I offered a free giveaway, and got the post downvoted to hell and nothing but negativity for it. I absolutely won't be repeating this again. Screw deletion, I'd just as soon leave this up so the next person doesn't try to make my mistake.

    Analytics for my first year drawing

    I started drawing in January of this year, and finally finished up my first piece in early February. Since then I've been trying to improve on it, and I decided to look back to see if there were any real metrics that could show I made decent progress. The most obvious first step was to take a look at the upvotes I'd gotten: ![](https://pawb.social/pictrs/image/cb3bb7b7-52dc-47db-bc56-ac88ae79dc2a.png) Also, NSFW stats: ![](https://pawb.social/pictrs/image/8ee8ddf7-1566-4e32-b215-10ed64a0e06e.png) And, overall, it's a mixed bag. Lemmy definitely has a longer running time for keeping posts alive (it helps that there's fewer posts here), and Reddit has the issue that if your post isn't noticed inside 2 hours, it won't be picked up at all. There's no real sign of definite progress on Reddit, though Lemmy does seem to see at least some uptick in this metric, though that could be attributed to c/furry growing. So, there's the next obvious metric, upvote percentage: ![](https://pawb.social/pictrs/image/fd6061c8-577b-4876-9f4c-1f4585ebc113.png) ![](https://pawb.social/pictrs/image/36a3e89a-ba86-4cc4-bc1b-e6fe9d4c1ade.png) Reddit drops these metrics after 40 days, so I have no idea what it's like for the majority of my posts. Generally though, the response is more positive on Lemmy than Reddit, but it might be a bit too early to tell if the percentages are actually meaningful, or if the community doesn't downvote good content just because it's not their type, and upvotes are a more meaningful metric. And, finally, FurAffinity: ![](https://pawb.social/pictrs/image/efc574a1-7ac2-49f5-888d-5575ad511dd1.png) There's not a lot of items there, either. If I post something good, I might get a fav. If I post something _really_ good, I might get 2. Like Reddit, if it's not noticed inside a short window, it appears to get buried. The one exception appears to be [this piece](https://d.furaffinity.net/art/kovukono/1690478212/1690478212.kovukono_stuck.png), which has gotten fav'd repeatedly over time. Watches, on the other hand, appear to be entirely random--or it could be my work's just not good enough to get people wanting me on their feed. So, just some lessons from my time over the last year: * Memes are faster and lower-effort to draw, but get a lot bigger response (yes, I know, groundbreaking statement of the year). * Time and effort spent don't equate to response. I know, it's another obvious statement, but until you've spent weeks on something for nothing, it doesn't quite sink in. * Either a) I've not become a better artist, or b) these metrics aren't the full picture, and I also suck at promoting myself. I'm hoping it's the latter. Regardless, it's been a big journey, and I hope it's only the start. I came to Lemmy from Reddit after the API changes, and overall, c/furry's been an open, welcoming, and most importantly positive place. I love it here, and I'm really looking forward to seeing it continue to grow.
