Yeah, you are correct. Docker shares the kernel with the host operating system, it doesn't use hardware virtualization. That's why it's so fast and simple, but it also means it's not a traditional VM and thus comes with some limitations.

I might actually be interested. It's like a lightweight alternative to Proxmox?

None, I use Docker for Linux, and Proton (Heroic) for Windows.

But if I had to pick a virtual machine: libvirt with virt-manager as a frontend, which uses KVM for virtualization.

This is a screenshot from uBlock Origin, an ad-blocker for browsers. Red means that something is in a block list. There is a lot of red, which means this website uses a lot of stuff that tracks the user or serves ads.

That being said, I've seen much worse.

I might be mistaken, but I think Codeberg is the official public Forgejo instance.

Fair enough, I agree with most of the things you said. The one I got is made of aluminum and doesn't feel cheap/thin at all, I guess they have both cheap and "professional" options. Personally I wasn't looking for something really unique, just for something that had a decent performance for a laptop and works well with Linux. I searched around and this model ticked all my most important boxes.

I don't know whether Clevo engineers throught about Linux when they designed the device or not, but I can say after configuring it properly, it works without any flaws.

As for buying straight from China, I consider the idea, but at the time I didn't find a way to buy it for cheaper than buying from a reseller. I'm in Europe, perhaps in the US or in Asia it would be different.

What is it that you don't like about Clevo chassis? I bought one a few years ago and I love it. It's elegant and sturdy in my opinion. It's also easily serviceable, so what's to complain about it?

That's very likely the case, but I'd say it makes little difference: any self-hosted application supporting web technology is also a desktop application.

I've never had the chance to work with the RAW format, but I think Photoprism should handle it transparently. Depending on your area of knowledge, the setup might feel a bit convoluted though.

Ah right, that makes sense. Today I learned.

For what it's worth, I always prefer being redundant if it makes the meaning clearer to a non-native speaker audience.

For instance I didn't know "pandemic" implicitly meant "global". In my ignorance I thought you could have a localized pandemic. But by saying "global pandemic" it makes it more obvious to everyone, including those who, like me, didn't know.

Also I'll personally keep saying "my phone had an LCD display" because it feels smoother than "my phone has a LCD".
