  • More and more people are using docker to run shit

    Docker is not made that way so people can get out of fixing shit that breaks constantly. The point is more to get rid of once-in-a-lifetime errors for which a reinstall or restart would be faster for anyway, but the main reason is that you get to sleep because if something fucky happens at 3AM, it’s more likely the system will just right itself.

    I certainly wouldn’t call debugging a blinking container easier than just fixing shit on the server. In a container though, I can be sure the issue is fixed and it’s not just another bandaid on a growing pile that is going to explode as soon as the guy building the pile retires.

    If anything that sounds more Hungarian than German, with the lack of diphtongs and the “sz” at the end, but funny thing, Hungarian does the same thing as German with compound words, except it makes it even worse with turning prepositions into suffixes.

    For example:

    legösszetettebbszóhosszúságvilágrekorddöntéskényszerneurózistünetegyüttesmegnyilvánulásfejleszthetőségvizsgálat

    meaning

    Examination for the treatability of the manifestation of the syndrome of neurosis caused by the compulsion of breaking the world record of the most heavily compunded word.

    Technically this isn’t correct, as you should put a hyphen in there somewhere between the two main parts to improve readability if it’s more than 6 syllables. Good luck finding the “two main parts” though. Maybe:

    legösszetettebbszóhosszúságvilágrekorddöntéskényszer-neurózistünetegyüttesmegnyilvánulásfejleszthetőségvizsgálat

    But you can also go crazy with suffixes, the often cited example is megszentségteleníthetetlenkedéseitekért, which is not at all a compound word, it means “for your acts of repeated demonstration of your beliefs that you are unable to be made unholy” (with a plural you).

    And finally, you can just do an infinite loop to construct arbitrarily long words using suffixes, like this:

    úszik - swims
    úsztat - makes someone or something swim
    úsztattat - makes sy/sg make sy/sg swim
    úsztattattat - makes sy/sg make sy/sg make sy/sg swim

    úsztattattattattattattattattattattattattattattattattattattattattattattattattattattattattattattat - makes sy/sg make sy/sg make sy/sg make sy/sg make sy/sg make sy/sg make sy/sg make sy/sg make sy/sg make sy/sg … make sy/sg make sy/sg make sy/sg swim







  • I’ll be honest, I expected better from the Guardian.

    I could write a small novel about important and relevant facts being omitted or pussyfooted around, but the main points are:

    • Just a day before this story, there was a leak in the Hungarian military where a speech of the Minister of Defense was taped in 2023 that the then-recent purge - forced retirement - of military leaders was so that the military could be transformed from a “peace mentality” to a “war mentality” and that “we have to go Phase 0 of the path to war”.
    • The spies were found to be collecting intelligence on specific questions, notably how “a Hungarian peacekeeping force occupying the Transcarpathia region would be received by the local civilian populace, the local law enforcement and the local military”.
    • The Orbán government is not “neutral” with respect to Russia. They have been actively funding Russia from Hungarian taxpayer money by buying Russian gas over world market prices. They have said that the 1956 revolution in Hungary was “unwise”, implying there is no point in trying to defend against a Russian invasion. The Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs - guy with the big forehead enthusiastically called the Cockatiel in Hungary - received the Friendship medal, the highest non-military commendation in Russia just four years ago.
    • The Polish Minister of Foreign Affairs claimed there was a plan together with Orbán, Putin and Kaczyński that would have had Hungarian and Polish peacekeepers occupy Western Ukraine after Russia claims the Eastern half.

    I know the Guardian is trying to be non-sensationalist, but in the past few days, a literal decade happened in Hungarian politics.


  • I know you are not malicious, but conflating Hungary, the will of the Hungarian people and the actions of the Orbán government is the cornerstone of Orbán’s propaganda. Please don’t do it.

    The actual Hungarian people overwhelmingly support Ukraine and its defense, and would like to see it as an EU member. When the Russian total offensive started in 2022, people in Hungary were getting in their cars, packing them full of groceries, and driving hundreds of kilometres to the Ukrainian border to help refugees, with exactly zero prompting or help or even acknowledgement from the government.










  • So how is 19th century imperialism different from Roman imperial expansion or Greek colonialism in antiquity for example? Or the various attempts to resurrect the Roman Empire by basically everyone? Why don’t we call Roman emperors or Alexander the Great or even Sigismund imperialists? Honest question here, I’m not a historian or anything.
