This exactly. I’m an engineer but day-to-day I’m mainly using the Office shite (I tried for suite but ended up with former and happy to run with it) to do my job. The amount of extraneous effort I have to make to do tasks that would have been simple in 2005 is completely ridiculous. Yet on my home computer running Arch BTW, I can do everything instantaneously, the only downside is that some supplier I don’t really care for wants my presentation in pptx. If it wasn’t for work data security requirements, I’d just use my personal equipment for everything because I’d be able to work so much faster.

Edit: not to mention a lot of FOSS software is better than the professional bullshit (AutoCAD needs to die), it’s just a lot more effort to get up to speed with because colleagues around you don’t know it (yet)

Flooding the batteries with water is the best way to put out a lithium-ion battery fire.

I’m not against it but I upvoted you because I think you have a fair position and expressed it honestly and in a completely reasonable way.

The emergency generator for all vessels is typically tiny compared to the standard generators (of which you have multiple, maybe 4 on this ship).

It’s basically just there to keep the emergency lights on and any other equipment you need to work to get everything else back up and running.

Esky? In NZ it’s a chilly bin.

Glad you got it sorted, and thanks for sharing the solution. I might see if I can remove privileged from mine in that case.

I’m on x86, but the below relevant lines have mine working:

–privileged

–group-add keep-groups

–device /dev/ttyUSB0:/dev/ttyUSB0

I also had to add my user that runs the container to group “dialout” as that owns the ttyUSB0 device. Keep in mind to log out and back in with this user after adding the group to apply the change.

Hope that helps!
