    Honestly, I’d sincerely recommend learning run or compose from the cli to get your containers started. Understanding the available variables and how to use them will teach you everything you will need to know if you choose a tool like DockStarter or Portainer later. They are convenient, but the way they hide the underlying run and compose options can sometimes end up limiting your understanding in the long run.

    I thought I didn’t understand docker until I realized I was trying to use crappy broken containers. I can vouch for the official gluetun and qbittorrent ones functioning normally.

    Both can be created easily with docker run if you don’t feel comfortable working with docker compose yet. Both of their pages have run and compose options in the description.

    I don’t think you’ll regret the time taken to learn it if you go this route. Docker permanently changed how I managed my services for the better.




  • Until there is literally a smoking gun, I have no serious reason to believe that Carter is anything less than a man who has done his best to be good. He was also a human being, and I’m sure people can dig up a bad interaction if they look hard enough. Still, it doesn’t invalidate his lifetime of attempts at making a positive impact on the world.

    Carter ain’t no Cosby.









  • I just read his Wikipedia page. Under the conditions of his time, how was he a racist? The article says he opposed slavery, opposed “scientific racists” of the time who argued polygenism and that some races were “transitional” between animal and man, and he asserted that science could never excuse the atrocities of slave owners.

    He did have incomplete theories about a racial hierarchy of intelligence, which was a common idea at the time. The article doesn’t suggest that he was a primary champion of that theory, or that it heavily featured in most of his work.

    In my opinion, he seems like a man who was doing what he could to expand his understanding of his observations, even if he was limited and misled by the prevailing methods and attitudes of his lifetime. Perhaps he should be judged against his peers rather than modern sensitivities, particularly without any evidence of malice in his work.
