A Docker container is essentially a process running on your machine. Just like any other process. It can be idle, stopped or hogging the CPU. You can use Docker constraints to limit resource use if you want to, memory, CPU and network to name a few.

So, can you run 40 processes?

Very likely. Probably 400 or 4000, depending on CPU usage and memory.

I ran that particular CPU with 64 GB of RAM and used it to run multiple virtual machines, my main debian desktop and a VM specifically as a docker host, running dozens of instances of Google Chrome without ever noticing it slowing down.

Then the power cable shortened out and life was never the same. That was six months ago, the machine was a late 2015 iMac running macos and VMware Fusion.

Gotta say, the level of innovation and quality at Apple appears to be on a very steep decline.

Consider the machine being on 24/7 and cooling.

Furthermore, depending on the current power supply, you might need to upgrade it to keep everything running.

On Sunday 16th March 2025 (the last day prior to the Act taking effect) I will delete the virtual servers hosting LFGSS and other communities, and effectively immediately end the approximately 300 small communities that I run, and the few large communities such as LFGSS.

It did cross my mind, but I find that giving actual answers is more productive :)

Have fun with your terminal adventures!

Facsimile?

In my school we were treated as adults and were expected to behave accordingly. Bathroom breaks did not require permission.

Storytelling is about anticipation. Setting up the environment in which the narrative can unexpectedly take you somewhere.

When you next read anything, look at the mechanics of the process, what is revealed, when, how and why.

The OP screenshot is from the TV series “Criminal Minds”. My comment is about a TV series “Bones”.

The UI in the OP screenshot looks like an X11 window manager from the mid to late 1990’s.

Bones shows an “Amiga”, that looks suspiciously like an IBM PC-AT complete with 5.25” floppy playing Doom.

That seems adequate.

You say that phones and mobile devices stream fine. Os that from your media server, or the internet?

How does internet streaming work on the Google TV and Apple TV?

Essentially you need to keep eliminating causes until there’s one left.

Which type of Wi-Fi and what type of wired connection?

I suspect that there’s not enough bandwidth available.

How are these devices connected to the network and how is your media server connected?

So, how did Murdoch, Musk and the other “heirs” get their gig?

It has. I use it everyday. It’s shit. Apple keeps moving windows to different desktops without user interaction, I can’t snap windows to each other, full screen takes over a whole desktop and ESC inside such a window puts it back to some random state.

Better Touch Tool did a better job a decade or so ago.

What is the use case for hosting this?

I can open any PDF on any computer, either locally, if the file is on the local filesystem, or via the internet, served using a simple web server and any filesharing system in-between.

I moved to Linux over 25 years ago and I miss absolutely nothing.

The joy of not having to update your OS when Microsoft forces it, even whilst you’re working, or the way Apple still cannot do window tiling despite decades of examples on how to achieve this, or installing applications and finding files splattered all over the file system with no way to remove them except manually, or the endless user agreements, licence fees, expiring licensees, or the notion that you cannot run a new OS on an old machine that’s in perfect working order.

So, no, it was the best decision I’ve made.

I wish that I’d made the same good decision when it comes to my accounting software.

FTFY
