Do you still have to check in to your plane ~24hrs ahead of time?
  • I believe ICAO (that would be the regulating authority) says be at the gate minimum 20 before departure. Considering security queues, though, my advice is to check in online the night before and be at the airport at least 2 hours before departure for a large airport. Small ones you might be able to get away with less, but unless you go through regular and know the setup, I would not chance it. Your airline will give you instructions.

    Check in counters normally close for bag drop 1h to 45min before departure here in Europe in my experience. Vast majority of airports also now support digital boarding passes in Europe. My home airport is small so I can work with 1 hr before departure; Brussels was 20min queue at security; Frankfurt we were there 2h30 before departure but at the gate for less.than 10 minutes, queues were that long and slow-moving.

    YMMV, check instructions.

    Source: I fly lots, mostly in Europe.

    How to deal with docker containers?
  • thanks, super-useful. I think I will bring up a couple of docker containers at home and check where and what they log, then try and extrapolate from that. I've managed to get into a couple of them with the -it command.

    How to deal with docker containers?
  • okay, that makes a lot of sense. I can't see any immediate orchestration, but maybe I'm looking in the wrong place. would the logs go to /var/log on the main system? just realized I haven't looked for those (d'oh!)

  • I have inherited some cloud hosted vms, with several services hosted in docker containers on these. Think we server and then DB, both hosted in separate containers. Several (overpriced) vms are involved. Would really like some pointers as to how I can get into these / edit them. Would really like to consolidate. I use proxmox at home and am comfortable in Linux but this is new to me. Any docs / tutorials would be super helpful. Still don't really understand why the design was done quite like this, so if you have insight on that, please let me know why you would do it this way. Thanks!

    What is everyone getting this Steam sale?
  • Going to have to check my wishlist and see... So tempted to get a Steam Deck rather than a Switch. Might have to actually pull the trigger....
