Best OT I've seen in a while : )


This is silly. It's quite simple to install Docker on any stock Android using Termux.

https://github.com/cyberkernelofficial/docker-in-termux

I've done it successfully a few times and it works just fine.


Termux is an option but using pmOS is far from silly.

Android and Termux have their limitations. Granted, I was running a full KDE session in Termux on a 2016 phone, but I saw Android OOM-kill random processes in Termux. You probably don't have a swap partition on your Android phone. Android apps are designed to be killed when in background, and Android avoids killing the app at the foreground, but Android doesn't know some processes running in Termux shouldn't be killed. This could happen if something on your server suddenly uses more RAM than anticipated.

On a regular Linux distro, you can have a swap file and/or teach the OOM to not kill some critically important services, like ssh for instance.


[flagged]


Wakelocks don't answers at all the concerns I raised. And I don't currently use these tools. And I'm not omniscient.

I'm flagging you because you are just introducing aggressity here and this is completely useless. I'm not here for this, I'm here to read and share interesting ideas. Others shared ways to address the concerns I raised in a nice and polite way and didn't need to tell me what I need to do like this. Go spread your disdain elsewhere.


You know, reading it back -- you're right. It could come across a little snarkey. My apologies.

I'll try and be a little less blunt in the future.


I appreciate your answer. Thanks, and apologies accepted.


No worries! Thanks for pointing it out :)


This is for running inside qemu, the OP says "Install Docker Natively", I don't think it's silly, not really the same thing


A simple 18 step process! And you have to run it on a QEMU VM.


Considering that part of the point is being able to use end-of-life devices, it's doing this in Termux that would be silly, don't run an OS which isn't getting security patches.


I'm not saying you're wrong at all or in disbelief -- but I've spent lots of time with Claude 3.5 trying to prototype React apps and not even full fledged prototypes -- and I can't get it to make anything bug free somehow.

Maybe I'm "holding it wrong" -- I mean using it incorrectly.

True it renders quite interesting mockups and has React code behind it -- but then try and get this into even a demoable state for your boss or colleagues...

Even a simple "please create a docker file with everything I need in a directory to get this up and running"...doesn't work.

Docker file doesnt work (my fault maybe for not expressing I'm on Arm64), app is miss configured, files are in the wrong directories, key things are missing.

Again just my experience.

I find Claude interesting for generating ideas-- but I have a hard time seeing how a dev with six months experience could get multiple "paid" apps out with it. I have 20 years (bla, bla) experience and still find it requires outrageous hand holding for anything serious.

Again I'm not doubting you at all -- I'm just saying me personally I find it hard to be THAT productive with it.


You have to temper your ambitions. Choose languages it understands well. Deploy on vercel. Specify exactly what you’re working with (“I’m using nextjs 14 with app router”)


Agreed. LLMs can give you ideas on how to get there, but you still need foundational knowledge of the language or framework to extend the code it generates.


would you be willing to share any of your chats? Like say the docker one?


That one was for work - but let me try again on an example project and I'll share it sure.


What do you mean? I use DEX on S20 with Termux which is basically Linux with all the normal package manager stuff. Can run PostgreSQL, alpine docker files, PocketBase, Portainer, whatever.

There are nice editos too as well if you look around.

With 6GB of RAM it can't run LLMs beyond Tiny Llama, but it's def usable.


It's called Cancer, not X, Y and Z.

It's one disease -- just a very complex one.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cancer_types

It's actually not,

here are the names of cancers that start with P

Paraganglioma Pineal astrocytoma Pineocytoma Pineoblastoma Pituitary adenoma Pilocytic astrocytoma Primary central nervous system lymphoma Primitive neuroectodermal tumor


It's interesting, could you expand on thus?


It's actually a collection of theories known as the mitochondrial theory of aging: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitochondrial_theory_of_ageing

It's a little confusing to look into, because there's a bunch of separate theories about the nature of aging that all involve mitochondria in some way. You will find news articles saying that the mitochondrial theory of aging was discredited because of some study done, but when you look into it, it turns out that what was shown was that some specific variant of the theory was insufficient for accounting for all forms of aging, which is not the same thing. Each mitochondrial theory of aging is a theory about one pathway by which mitochondrial function or dysfunction results in aging damage, the reality is that many or all of these theories are true and aging is the aggregation of damage from all of them, and more pathways we have yet to discover.

Generally speaking, the vast majority of aging damage comes, directly or indirectly, from the accumulating damage from healthy operation of mitochondria over long periods of time, or the accumulation of cells with unhealthy mitochondria that produce damage more rapidly. The ELI5 is that mitochondria produce free radicals, free radicals chemically alter basically anything they touch, and aging is simply the slow accumulation of intercellular and intracellular damage, and if you follow the history of these molecules back to when they diverged from being in a healthy state, it is almost always the result of oxidative damage (e.g. free radicals of the sort produced by mitochondria).

Another ELI5 way of looking at it: you may not know this, but mitochondria only live a couple of days. They are constantly being refreshed in your cells because of the severe oxidative stress they undergo. They also sometimes break or leak, letting those reactive oxygen species into the cell and causing damage. Aging is the accumulation of this damage.

But I said aging was "downstream of" mitochondrial dysfunction. That's because not all aspects of aging is due to reactive oxygen species leaking out like I seemed to claim above. That's just one example. There are cells in your body that have lost all mitochondria, often due to a freak genetic mutation in the mitochondrial DNA of that cell. Surprisingly these cells don't die, but rather switch into a mode of operation where they slow down and live off energy extracted from the intercellular medium and converted into ATP by various molecular systems embedded in the cell membrane. These processes, as it turns out, free radicals out of the cell during operation, spewing reactive species into the body. This ends up being responsible for hardening tissue, lack of energy, and many other symptoms of aging. But the root cause? The mitochondria stopped working in that cell, so still a mitochondrial issue.

Or, the aging of heart cells and the hardening of arteries is largely due to the collection of dysfunctional lysosomes that are full of garbage they are unable to break down. These clutter cells, harm their efficiency, and eventually have enough collective effect as to make the tissue as a whole less viable. Leading to heart attacks and other cardiovascular disease, which is the leading cause of age-related death alongside cancer. Want to guess what these defective lysosomes are full of? Mostly undigested mitochondria, specifically the highly damaged structures of mitochondria that suffered too much oxidative damage from long operation.

Oh, and what about cancer? Well cancer needs A LOT of energy to keep replicating, and so it should be no surprise that many of the mutations among common cancers have to do with genes in the nucleus affecting mitochondrial function, or the various signaling pathways between the nucleus and the mitochondria of the cell. This article covers some of the ways that cancer uses mitochondria: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4371788/

The best lay introduction I know is "Ending Aging" by Aubrey de Grey and Michael Rae. The book is meant to be an enumeration of all the things that need to be done to biologically reverse aging, but ends up being more than 80% about mitochondria and mitochondrial dysfunction, because of its out-of-proportion impact on the aging process.


No this is stupid. Dance is super important, because it allows one or two people or just a few to form an instant social pod and enjoy themselves for a few hours.

I have a friend like you who wants everyone to live in "communities" with "communal living". He is just ultimately bossy and alienates all his friends (including me to be honest).

Try and force me to get to know my neighbours -- I simply will not. The last thing I need is someone trying to borrow "butter" or "dropping by" from 603 interrupting my desperately needed self time after working a 10 hour day.

Let me find my own friends and leave me alone to go out DANCING! And I'll find my friends no problem!


> I have a friend like you who wants everyone to live in "communities" with "communal living". He is just ultimately bossy and alienates all his friends (including me to be honest).

You’re the same as your friend. You called my idea stupid. I forgive you but this style of conversation leads immediately to conflict rather than thoughtful discussion. You are just like your friend and you likely don’t realize it.

That being said I can’t agree with you. Men typically don’t like to dance. It’s not a thing. Eating is a thing. Agree to disagree but I don’t think your pov represents the general consensus.


Not sure what the cool thing is these days -- but for me at a Pantera concert it was for 99.5% men moshing in front of the band and it was awesome haha.

Not sure where you get your stat from anyways -- seems most of my local Latin dance groups have loads of men (more than women) sitting on the sidelines waiting for their chance to show their stuff : ))


I would have never read your title. The whole reason I clicked was because of the mystery element.


To me it sounded like click bait. So I checked comments and concluded that it was indeed about the very visible RDS signal and not some hidden channel used by some secretive agency that would indeed be somewhat mysterious.

I don't think the fact that it worked in generating clicks is really an argument for bait titles. Given the positive comments about the content I think some editorializing could have been helpful to focus on the hacking journey aspect though, which seems to be the point rather the specifics of RDS itself.


Why do you need to be manipulated into reading something? When it turns out they are calling standard radio data "mysterious" don't you feel lied to?


Isn't that the definition of clickbait?


We already have Termux, I don't get it.
