Another one would be Glass Onion getting into Supporting Actress and Costumes.

As I recall, about 2-3 years ago I had experimented with what is called the
npm install xyz
through some tutorials, etc. The objective was to improve my tooling or toolchain at least with things like css/js minification, etc. along with Bootstrap customization. The idea was to then move on to other newer learnings like react, etc.But I was soon disgruntled by the whole process! Neither bootstrap turned out to be an easy horse to tame, and NPM was like this astronomical universe of packages that keep on downloading into your folders! I soon lost taste of the whole thing and kept using my tried and tested stack of PHP scripts and using stock Bootstrap through CDNs.
But today, I want to give it another shot. Has NPM improved than earlier days? What is the best way to go about building a toolchain using it? Are there any useful guides that make the whole process easier to digest?

Starting on Thursday night, Twitter cut off API access for some of the biggest third party clients.
It’s hard to tell whether the third-party client outage is due to the API. Attempting certain calls from my individual Twitter developer account seemed to work, while Twitter’s own API explorer tool is currently broken.
It definitely seems like it is on purpose. For it to last this long without any update definitely makes it feel like it was done on purpose. Many developers' apps have started showing up as "suspended". In looking at my own account, I can see that both Tweetbot and Fenix are gone from my list of connected apps.
The Icon Factory (makers of Twitteriffic) have a blog post about it as well.
The complete silence from Twitter is completely baffling. Burning more than a decade of working with developers overnight seems incredibly stupid. As Paul Hadad, one of the makers of Tweetbot said:
Even during the darkest Twitter 1.0 days they were pretty open about what they were doing. I remember getting a call prior to the 4 quadrants token limit where they explained what was going to happen and answered questions. I wasn't happy but at least felt there was respect.

Docker rootless and Watchtower and some general questions about Docker

I finally decided to accepted that my interest in working and playing with computers and servers is worth to spend some money on. So I ditched my old box in the corner and with it all my fights with my ISP, their NAT, dynamic DNS and all that and got myself a VPS and 1 TB storage solution for less than I would have paid a static IP with my ISP.
Best decicion ever :-)So I'm getting into Docker a bit, just because it's just so easy to get Nextcloud running. I used native Caddy as a reverse proxy, because if I got this "machine" there I will use it for other things as well, so make it right from the beginning. And I used native b.c I did not yet understand bridge/host mode and installing caddy native seems easier.
Then I fought for one day with CIFS and the nextcloud gui to get the semantics right to get my storage solution accepted as external storage.
Then I set up Jellyfin with Docker because why not. As well through caddy.
Then I fucked something up and was like, fuck it, lets start again this time for real :-P
I wiped my VPS clean (chose ubuntu again) set up and hardend ssh + sudo installed Docker, and then I found out about docker rootless and in the docker docs it's mentioned that it is/might be more secure, so I set up docker rootless and installed all the rest again.
And then I was like, hmm, do these Docker Images/Containers update themself? Like snap did?
It seems not, so I looked for a solution and found watchtower. And now I wasted another day trying to get watchtower to run, and I just can not.I tried so many variations of the run command now most recently I tried:
docker run \ --name watchtower \ -v ${DOCKER_SOCKET_PATH}:/var/run/docker.sock \ containrrr/watchtower time="2023-01-20T01:17:41Z" level=error msg="Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?" time="2023-01-20T01:17:41Z" level=info msg="Waiting for the notification goroutine to finish" notify=no
/run/user/1000/docker.sock exists, I own it, i tried connecting to it through docker -e and containrrr/watchtower --host "unix:///run/user/1000/docker.sock"
I dont now what to try more and I'm at my end with my ddg-fu as well.And now while proofreading this, I read everything again and decided to try something again and it just worked...
docker run \ --name watchtower \ -v /run/user/1000/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \ containrrr/watchtower
seems like the environment variable was not set. But I'm shure I tried that before and it did not work... ghost in a machine :-)
So thats where I'm at. I have to say it was a lot of fun and doing and learning all that tingled my brain in a funny way :-)
But now I have some questions for my much more experienced Tildes-friends:
- Do I even need watchtower? because I'm not actually interested to connect to my server regularly to do the updates/maintenance.
- Was switching to docker rootless even a good idea? it seemed so reading the docker installation docs, but just now I read the Archwiki and there it seems it has some heavy security implications, so I made the security situation acutally worse by thinking making it better.
How do I get this watchtower thing to fucking work? (only if I actually need it)
I very much appreciate all further/other advise, tricks, recomendations, questions and discussion as well :-)
