There's very few people in the world that can maintain 47 years of uninterrupted discipline. Most people hit one or a number of:
- A significant health issue that also drains them economically
- A broken marriage that cuts their savings in half (or less)
- A low point in their life where saving for retirement just doesn't make sense in their heads anymore because they feel they'd rather die tomorrow.
- A streak of bad events longer than they planned for (the car breaks down, they got fired and their mother-in-law needs financial assistance all at the same time)
- Etc, etc...
The point is: nobody is retiring a millionare through the process you described. Either you save signfiicantly more at certain points (because you earn more) and get lucky enough with the above where you make it there, or you don't retire a millionare even after having saved consistently for many periods in your life.
$200 per month is the minimum to retire with $2 million+. But you can always put more in as your financial situation improves (like getting a raise). You can also make wiser decisions like not getting a $770 a month car payment (yes, that's the current average new car payment in the US).
I work with clients of all financial levels and almost all of them have upwards of $600 a month to put toward retirement/investments once they get on a proper budget and develop the discipline to stick to it.
Yes, emergencies happen but not as often as you'd think and most incidents are manageable, especially if you plan for them. Saving ahead of time for car maintenance or AC replacement, having a bucket for medical expenses or family, getting a prenuptial agreement, etc.
I've been a financial coach for over 20 years and almost all my clients who have reached retirement age have done so as millionaires using this exact method.
> do they think if they get the disc, they can just hold and be able to play that disk for decades or just copy to drive they have?
We can legally back-up owned discs to hdd or whatever other media in my country, including to the cloud. I can use the original media or any such backups as many times as I want, forever.
We can also sell a "hard media" copy wheven we want. IP owners cannot take away that right from us. Of course you must delete your backups if you sell the original media.
With digital "purchases" neither of these is true anymore. That's where the outrage comes from.
If you enter a bookshop and you ask for a book that does not exist then it's definitely your mistake.
If you ask for a book they don't have it's a different matter.
In any case, when you ask for a book in a library you are using their "search" endpoint. The equivalent to opening a books/1 url would be asking for a specific instance of a book by serial number or so. Then it's clear that you made a mistake uf you do that for an unexistent serial number...
The difference between a native package manager provided by the OS vendor and docker is that in a native package manager allows you to upgrade parts of the system under the applications.
Let's say some Heartbleed (which affected OpenSSL, primarily) happens again. With native packages, you update the package, restart a few things that depend on it with shared libraries, and you're patched. OS vendors are highly motivated to do this update, and often get pre-announcement info around security issues so it tends to go quickly.
With docker, someone has to rebuild every container that contains a copy of the library. This will necessarily lag and be delivered in a piecemeal fashion - if you have 5 containers, all of them need their own updates, which if you don't self-build and self-update, can take a while and is substantially more work than `apt get update && reboot`.
Incidentally, the same applies for most languages that prefer/require static linking.
As mentioned elsewhere in the thread, it's a tradeoff, and people should be aware of the tradeoffs around update and data lifecycle before making deployment decisions.

I think you're grossly overblowing how much work it takes to refresh your containers.
In my case, I have personal projects which have nightly builds that pull the latest version of the base image, and services are just redeployed right under your nose. All it take to do this was to add a cron trigger to the same CICD pipeline.
I'd argue that the number of homelab folks have a whole CICD pipeline to update code and rebuild every container they use is a very small percentage. Most probably YOLO `docker pull` it once and never think about it again.
TBH, a slower upgrade cycle may be tolerable inside a private network that doesn't face the public internet.

What? You think the same guys who take an almost militant approach to how they build and run their own personal projects would somehow fail to be technically inclined to automate tasks?
I don't know what kind of breakage was the parent talking about.
My experience is that as the car gets older it is common for the vents to lose the capability to stay pointed where I place them. As in: you point them where you want and they flip back all the way to one side as soon as you let go.
(Hot climate here, with several months of "a/c set to max during the whole trip" per year)
I’ve been in many cars where they don’t stay pointed and where the moving mechanism plastic broke off from where it’s connected so it doesn’t move the vent fins at all.
