Who’s asking?

A Docker container is essentially a process running on your machine. Just like any other process. It can be idle, stopped or hogging the CPU. You can use Docker constraints to limit resource use if you want to, memory, CPU and network to name a few.

So, can you run 40 processes?

Very likely. Probably 400 or 4000, depending on CPU usage and memory.

I ran that particular CPU with 64 GB of RAM and used it to run multiple virtual machines, my main debian desktop and a VM specifically as a docker host, running dozens of instances of Google Chrome without ever noticing it slowing down.

Then the power cable shortened out and life was never the same. That was six months ago, the machine was a late 2015 iMac running macos and VMware Fusion.

Not sure how this is relevant, these numbers are routinely shared with clients and suppliers.

Gotta say, the level of innovation and quality at Apple appears to be on a very steep decline.

What on earth are those in charge of certification standards thinking they’ll achieve with requirements like this?

Consider the machine being on 24/7 and cooling.

Furthermore, depending on the current power supply, you might need to upgrade it to keep everything running.

On Sunday 16th March 2025 (the last day prior to the Act taking effect) I will delete the virtual servers hosting LFGSS and other communities, and effectively immediately end the approximately 300 small communities that I run, and the few large communities such as LFGSS.

The article is a breathless advertisement and the comments below it tell the real story.

That’s interesting, I didn’t know that.

Minimum expense to you is YouTube, but your videos will be their product which is fine for some use cases.

There are fediverse video platforms, but their longevity is not guaranteed.

You could host your video content on AWS S3 and have it mirrored by the Wayback archive. There is a cost to hosting on S3, but it’s not massive.

I use S3 for my audio podcasts and import them into YouTube, it’s available on archive.org

Why do you need "to get it to at least 200”?

It did cross my mind, but I find that giving actual answers is more productive :)

Have fun with your terminal adventures!

Facsimile?

In my school we were treated as adults and were expected to behave accordingly. Bathroom breaks did not require permission.

Welcome to the “brand new world” of IOT hardware where you are the product and continued service depends entirely on how you can be monetized.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but you’re going to have to actually talk to your friends.

Depending on your level of discomfort, you can do it in a group setting, “Hey, how come you guys always use belittling language towards me, it hurts.”

Or, you can ask face to face, but that might be more stressful, or it might not, I cannot speak for you or your friends.

Storytelling is about anticipation. Setting up the environment in which the narrative can unexpectedly take you somewhere.

When you next read anything, look at the mechanics of the process, what is revealed, when, how and why.
