Oh man, my mom even bought me a compuserve subscription. I seem to remember it was something insane like $6/minute?!? (Or was it hour???)
I don't remember using it very much. She got me GEnie in the very early 90s, and that was more affordable (and had a lot of good mac stuff in it)
I vaguely remember hooking up to some BBSes as well, now.

> They talk about it like it's just another installation avenue like flatpak
That's actually a very good comparison. Docker is kind of like FlatPak for servers. Although maybe more like AppImage.
As long as you have the latest image, you have the latest version of everything packaged inside it. Like any package manager, this can be automated. Everything else is handled by the OS, not Docker or the Container. That's my understanding, having only tinkered with Docker a little.

The difference being that flatpak is pretty committed to keeping everything quite up-to-date.
With containers, YMMV.
I'm not intending to dog on containers, but I'm just surprised that I don't hear *anyone* talking about the potential risks.
Zero risk isn't possible, but it's good to be aware of them and plan/decide accordingly.

On one occasion, after buying a meal at the same street food cart a few times, I ordered a meal and the guy started cooking it. When he was finished and I went to pay, I realized I didn't have any cash (they don't have debit card machines). He just handed me the meal and waved me away. From a memory a student translated for me, so I could assure him I'd pay him next time. Which I did.
China was cool like that. Everyone was very trusting and for the most part, very honest.

Ae, and this is not an accident. Capitalists and their lackeys have been scattering toxic individualism seeds around since the counterculture era. Doctorow writes about this too, in the context of Milton Friedman's comments about making sure their ideas were the "ideas lying around":

Well, that's definitely the right way to build them, but from a security perspective, you're still running potentially out-of-date software or at least libs, and are adding another layer of dependency (and another point of failure) to keeping a system up-to-date for security issues.

As with everything, it's a balancing act, and you have to evaluate how well an image maintainer keeps up with security update (and not just updates to their application), the threat level of that particular server, etc.
I just personally *never* hear people discussing that when they discuss using images. They talk about it like it's just another installation avenue like flatpak. :/
