    A driver that doesn’t know the standard road signs and road laws is more dangerous. Stopping in the middle of the road to figure out what a common sign means isn’t being careful, it’s being a bad driver and making the road more dangerous for everyone else.


  • The thing is, you’re not putting a dissertation on one of these signs. You’re already supposed to yield on a solid green if you’re turning left without a green arrow, that’s already the law. This sign is a reminder for the stupid people about something they’re already supposed to do, not allow someone who’s never driven in their life to learn the laws as they go.











  • So a reverse proxy is sort of like a phonebook or directory, it routes outside requests to the appropriate place. So imagine your reverse proxy is a receptionist, someone comes in and says “hey I am looking for plex.mydomain.com” the receptionist would then use the phonebook and say “ok if you are looking for plex.mydomain.com, go to building 192.168.1.10 (the ip), room 9000 (the port)”

    Since you are asking about dockerized services, the networking for those can be done in several different ways, but the one thing that really matters is that each service needs to have a unique combination of ip and port, because only 1 service can live at each address. With docker, you could set up multiple services that use the host server’s ip, in which case each container will need to be on different ports, or you could have it so each container has its own ip, in which case the port can be anything.





  • kbin and lemmy are different softwares, but they are both used for link aggregation and the 2 softwares use a common protocol, so they can talk to each other. So there are kbin servers and lemmy servers, and they are all interconnected.

    So now we can take this post as an example:

    You are a user on kbin.social

    You posted this question on /m/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world - this means the community you posted on is actually hosted on lemmy.world

    lemmy.world then tells other instances that its federated with that someone just made a post on /c/nostupidquestions on its instance. what kbin calls magazines are called communities on lemmy, hence the /c/ instead of the /m/.

    kbin.social and all the other instances will then also show this post, even though it originally was created on a different instance
