Sandstorm VS DockSTARTer

Sandstorm really had this kind of feeling. Not that it presented as a desktop environment visually - but it offered a much more integrated “computer” of documents versus silod web site apps where you need to open each site to see the files in the app. https://sandstorm.io/

RemoteStorage https://remotestorage.io/ seems to be trying to do this too

I also really like the https://sandstorm.io approach which goes a little farther beyond

They tried, it was called sandstorm https://sandstorm.io/

I did read from somewhere, that with Wordpress SEO plugins etc some website got to top of search results.

Those that did website with other tech did not get same results, and thinked how to compete or survive.

For security, I use Sandstorm https://sandstorm.io fork of WordPress that generates static websites. But that does not work with some interactive plugins.

Urbit made the choice to use a bunch of silly new words for familiar concepts, not because they were inventing something so new that there were no words to describe it, but because they wanted to fool people into thinking that's what they were doing. Actually they just spent 10 years trying to do https://sandstorm.io/, but made it 10 times harder than it needed to be by coming up with a wacky new set of programming languages with silly names for everything.

That's funny, and it is OK to make fun of it.

I don't work at Cloudflare but follow their work and occasionally work on performance sensitive projects.

If I had to guess, they looked at the landscape a bit like I do and regarded Cap'n Proto, flatbuffers, SBE, etc. as being in one category apart from other data formats like Avro, protobuf, and the like.

So once you're committed to record'ish shaped (rather than columnar like Parquet) data that has an upfront parse time of zero (nominally, there could be marshalling if you transmogrify the field values on read), the list gets pretty short.

https://capnproto.org/news/2014-06-17-capnproto-flatbuffers-... goes into some of the trade-offs here.

Cap'n Proto was originally made for https://sandstorm.io/. That work (which Kenton has presumably done at Cloudflare since he's been employed there) eventually turned into Cloudflare workers.

Another consideration: https://github.com/google/flatbuffers/issues/2#issuecomment-...

For me, the biggest blocker has been the inability to run on ARM https://github.com/sandstorm-io/sandstorm/issues/2083

Check out https://dockstarter.com/ which automates (most of) the Docker stuff for you.

Not trying to be dick here, this is a genuine question: Why is this better than DockStarter?

I setup a 10th gen i3 nuc with dockstarter.com. It plays 4k great and is silent/power efficient.

Also, I highly recommend doing it through dockstarter if it's your first time.

If you’re brand new to it I just want to use apps without screwing with the technology, consider using DockSTARTer. it will lead you through installing all of the dependencies and give you a convenient little GUI to selecting to figure all of these apps you mentioned and more.

Looks like someone has requested that container be added to DockSTARter too which could make life easier for anyone in the same boat. Pop on over to the open issue on GitHub and add your support if that would help solve your issue.
