I wonder what the aim is. Trying to get relevant again? I haven't used Winamp in many many years. I'm a Spotify / YouTube kind of guy now. I drank the koolaid. It's a little late and things like VLC have a pretty solid offering now, without all gotchas that this will have (such as you apparently can't call it Winamp and will have to sign away a sacrificial child to actually get the code)

I like my Kubernetes setup at work. It runs Nextcloud, Mattermost, GitLab, company website, several embedded firmware OTA update sites, a few internal apps. Nextcloud was pretty easy to install on it with Helm, just a single command line and a yaml file to specify domain, settings, etc. I had some teething issues in my early setup where the database would get wiped inexplicably, but it's been running smooth for years now. (Yes, I know, bad juju running databases on Kubernetes...I'm used to it and it mostly works)

Well, then, they ought to drop enough dirt for me to patch it. You think I carry stacks of dirt around with me all the time?

My ringtone has been the same one for the last 15 years, Cowbell Rock. I paid for it twice, once when Ringtone Feeder was a thing, and then again from iTunes. Worth it. Best ringtone ever. Would buy again if I could.

The internet is not ready for me

A little slower by today's standards, but if your needs are light, it'll do the job. Keep in mind it only has a gigglebyte of RAM, so its capacity for running things may be limited, especially as docker applications go (since they bring a copy of each dependency). You won't be able to run something as large as GitLab or Nextcloud, but a smattering of small apps should be within its capabilities

The thing with using the "latest" tag is you might get lucky and nothing bad happens (the apps are pretty stable, fault tolerant, and/or backward compatible), but you also might get unlucky and a container update does break something (think a 1.x going to 2.x one day). Without pinning the container to a specific version, you might have an outage suddenly due to that container becoming incompatible with one of your other applications. I've seen this happen a number of times. One example is a frontend (UI) container that updates to no longer be compatible with older versions of the backend and crashes as a result.

If all your apps are pretty much standalone and you trust them to update properly every time a new version of the container is downloaded, then you may never run into the problems that make people say "never use latest". But just keep an eye out for something like that to happen at some point. You'll save yourself some time if you have records of what versions are running when everything's working, and take regular backups of all their data.

I'm not so sure. I seem to be able to find my way around a GitLab project in much fewer moves than a GitHub project. But maybe I'm biased because I use it all the time at work. I know they change the sidebar a lot, though.

There are dozens of us! Maybe we should find or start a siren community on Lemmy. I just don't have time to moderate, or I'd do it...

I had to close my bank account to cancel mine. I moved and didn't want to head all the way back to go in person to cancel. They wouldn't accept a cancel request online or over the phone. Why is it always gym memberships that want to be next to impossible to cancel?

Proud GitLab self-hoster here (for private projects). I'd love for someone to beat GitHub. The hard part is going to be replacing the discoverability and the network effect. I find GitLab to be a superior product, technically, but it doesn't matter much in the face of GitHub's momentum as the incumbent 800 lb gorilla.
