The entire “Organize the store by Brand™” rather than by product is a terrible consumer experience. Truly a horrible idea made by horrible profiteers.

Want to compare and buy an SD card? You need to go to the SanDisk section, the Samsung section, and the Other Misc Junk section. And btw the sections are on opposite corners of the store. Ain’t nobody got time for that.

Export controls or legal compliance, most likely. Export controls because the code may be a protected technology, or compliance because the company doesn’t have gdpr or some other legal framework.

Web rings were one way someone would find their way around the Web before search engines really were any good. Basically, a group of sites of a certain interest would static link each other on each site.

Say you were on a web forum for skateboarders. That forum would have a web ring section, usually in the footer or one of the gutters, of links to other sites related to skateboarding. Each of those sites would reciprocally list the others as well.

If you published your own Website about skateboarding, you would email the webmasters of those sites and asked to be added; although some had centralized Webmasters to manage the ring.

You could use a python script with oathtool copied onto each of your devices. This is not a good suggestion.

Podman-compose is a python script that simply converts a compose file to ‘podman run’. It worked fine enough for me, but the caveat being it doesn’t have full feature parity and the errors aren’t as good. The only thing I couldnt get working was connecting my GPU to jellyfin.

Turning conainers into systemd units is easy: ‘podman generate systems --new --name $container_name › $HOME/.config/systems/user/$container_name.service’ ‘systemctl --user enable --now $container_name’
