 Deny Dias | I was about to say just that... Syncthing doesn't need a central server, but you can have it if you like... I don't. | 05:07:52 |

 agentsmith6969 | it's just a convention, I get it | 05:08:49 |
 Slacktoid | exactly! | 05:09:31 |
| Deny Dias | Not even a convention in the way it was designed. Each device is a node fully capable of sync'ing. If you call one of them a "central server" it's just a matter of implementation, but never a requirement. | 05:10:01 |
| Slacktoid | ^ nailed it | 05:09:53 |
| agentsmith6969 | i meant a convention from the management point of view, not from the technical point of view | 05:36:30 |
| agentsmith6969 | if one has a desktop, a laptop and a phone, it makes sense to call the desktop the server | 05:36:57 |
 drgibbon | agentsmith6969: OK, so the docker command is in the docker-cli package now. | 05:38:02 |
| drgibbon | * agentsmith6969: OK, so the docker command is in the docker-cli package now. | 05:38:10 |
| agentsmith6969 | drgibbon: thanks, I am following the SBo mailing list as well | 05:38:23 |
| agentsmith6969 | in readonly mode though | 05:38:32 |
| agentsmith6969 | the maintainer of docker SlackBuild should probably mention docker-cli in the README, if this incident bugged so many people and triggered fuss on the mailing list | 05:39:30 |
| drgibbon | yes, it's a little odd, CLI tools seem basic to me. | 05:40:50 |
| agentsmith6969 | btw, if I symlink a file into syncthing's shared dir, I suppose it will push the real file to remote hosts? | 05:51:51 |
| Deny Dias | Never tried with symlinks... test it and let us know what happens. Symlink folder too, if you may. | 06:05:42 |

btw, if I symlink a file into syncthing's shared dir, I suppose it will push the real file to remote hosts? i do the opposite.. real file in syncthing and symlink to where it needs to be used | 06:06:08 |
 rbn | fwiw, upspin.io is also working nice, it never really took off on the "share stuff with people" front though | 13:05:16 |
| rbn | it inherits some concepts of 9p, only with federated servers & addressing | 13:11:33 |
| rbn | and everything is encrypted by default | 13:12:24 |
| rbn | but, never really took off, i guess it's usable enough for the go/old bell labs folks to use it ;) | 13:13:06 |
| agentsmith6969 | never heard of upspin, but their mascot is wonderful :D | 13:47:24 |

never heard of upspin, but their mascot is wonderful :D renee french strikes again ;) | 13:50:47 |
| agentsmith6969 | rbn: isn that the pranker from france? I'm not sure | 13:52:23 |

rbn: isn that the pranker from france? I'm not sure no :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ren%C3%A9e_French | 13:57:46 |
| agentsmith6969 | oh lol | 14:02:23 |
| agentsmith6969 | the golang mascot I know, even if I don't do any go | 14:02:32 |
| rbn | yeah, renees drawings are quite memorable :) | 14:05:19 |
| Deny Dias | Speaking of animals illustrating nerd stuff, does someone knows from where O'Reilly inspiration comes from? How they decide what pet will get into the cover of what book? | 20:57:37 |
| Deny Dias | Found it! I never took the time to search about it, but it was not hard... there's even an article from Edie Freedman, who came up with the idea, in O'Reilly official website:
https://www.oreilly.com/content/a-short-history-of-the-oreilly-animals/
Quoting:
Even the terms associated with Unix—vi, sed and awk, uucp, lex, yacc, curses, to name just a few—were weird. They sounded to me like words that might come out of Dungeons and Dragons.
...
As I looked for images for the book covers, I came across some odd-looking animal engravings from the 19th century. They seemed to be a good match for all those strange-sounding UNIX terms, and were esoteric enough that I figured they’d probably appeal to programmers. And, as I investigated the attributes of the real animals, I quickly discovered that there were intriguing correspondences between specific technologies and specific animals.
Here are all those 1243 (!) animals:
