netikras3465812d@atheist I haven't been bitten by diff instruction sets in containers yet. Care to elaborate?

netikras3465812d@usr--2ndry I'm struggling to find package versions' archives in the search webpage

atheist868712d@netikras the classic is when something just straight up crashes because some dependency doesn't support the instruction set on a slightly older server, but it takes ages to work that out. Or different instruction sets mean a slightly different computed result, failing some regression test and spending hours working out why because something was compiled with funsafemath

jestdotty247312dI hate how the providers of software can just be lazy and tell you to install it on docker
instead of updating their damned software so it works on modern systems
cuz if I touch fucking anything in the docker everything breaks. if I don't have the exact same use-cases hey guess what the devs don't care just use docker in the one approved way we envisioned it to be used
so fragile -
Parzi89305d@netikras we have a billion solutions to this: versioned lib files, chroot, recompiling from source, switching programs and not putting up with that shit... you have options that aren't "run virtualbox with a shared folder tied to the host's root" for every single program.
