I've just hit the mark of 450 uploaded containers to my docker repo! And two of my containers (cmatrix, btop) are at the #1!

Docker is a method of virtualization on an application level.

You host a container platform on your computer and this allows you to utilise containers.

Example of Containers are applications such as

Plex Sonarr Pihole

Each container is a 'complete' platform with all the dependencies included - your container platform supplies Disk/CPU/Ram and network for the Container to function.

Containers can be based on operating systems that are different to your computer.

Using containers mean you have a very easy way of trying an Application without installing to your native operating system.

Let us know if you have a NAS /PC /Server and we can tailor the answer further.

I should have checked this a long time ago...

I wouldn't worry about the value difference too much but more the consistency. If you need 75 degrees on the edge then keep dialing up the temp until you get it.

It's most likely only going to affect large prints at the end of the day.

Your printer will measure the bed from a single location so moving your IR sensor will vary across the bed. If your using a custom firmware I'm sure you could set this as an offset assuming your IR thermometer is accurate ;)

Heat of the bed will be the warmest point and the periphery cooler (just like your body temp)

Do people think the reddit scraping bots are useful?

It's a great question. I am missing certain content from the niche sub-reddits and trying hard not to fall back to Reddit.

Some of this 'reposting' will help the community to add comments/interaction but as you mention may turn this platform into a leech.

Either way people implementing Bots helps the moderation teams to some extent.

newb question: just got me a dell wd19tbs dock, seeking advice on proper cabling to use for which devices.

A Thunderbolt cable will handle the required bandwidth from the dock to the laptop.

Your phone, do you expect to pass data via the phone and your laptop (eg photos/videos?) If you do then a USB 3.2 10 Gbps cable would be the most you would need (€25), costs may stear you towards a simple charging cable something around 60w (€10) would be ample BUT you phone may not fast charge due to Samsung's charging preference.

HDMI 2.1 would be ample for a your monitor (4k resolution at 120fps) and the cost difference between this (€13) and 2.0 (€10) is minimal nowerdays

Ethernet is easy, CAT5e in the colour/length of your choice would supply the potential max 2.5gb Ethernet port you have (€8 for 10meters). Higher the CAT rating the more costly the cable.

Additional Thunderbolt ports would be best used/reserved for high-speed external storage or even a gaming GPU.

The fact your asking about these items shows you should be pretty much covered for the next few years of 'fitire proofing'

Review: GaN Charger with HDMI + Ethernet

I've seen these items around and never considered them and proceeded to buy a USB C dock instead. Your comment about a 'single' item to pack hits home well and considering one for my TV setup.

What length of USB C cable do you use from your charger to your Deck? I'm thinking I may need to be around 3 meters away.
