  • Persistence of “mental state” mostly. By setting up a compose, you have a written down notion of things like volumes, environment variables and other elements stored somewhere for the behaviour of the container, that can not be ignored or defaulted if you don’t wish it, for when you need to undo and redo a container and default behaviours are important.

    While sure, those elements can be set in a loooong ${engine} run... command, it’s easy to forget to set up something important or copy and paste an accidental endline. A compose file (plus a sample envfile, if you so wish) helps keep the way to set up variables and state under control. Made much easier now that we have both docker-compose run and podman-compose run.








  • They registered “hordr”, not “hoarder”. It’s not your fault that there exist valid words in the dictionary, that describe what your app is doing, that they are not using.

    This is just the usual case of domain and trademark squatting. If they attempt to further raise a finger (which from what I have read, from a judiciary point of view they haven’t), you have good grounds to countersue. You can also provide the C&D as evidence of threatening and harassment and probably counts for suing the party who sent it if they used a third party, as there’s supposedly a penalty for issuing false or trolling C&Ds.

    That said: in a decent legal system no one should be able to trademark dictionary words. I’d suggest you change your trademark from “hoarder” to “hoarder.app” or something similar, as at the moment you trying to trademark a dictionary word is a vulnerability point that opponents with more money to waste can use to attack you, as this shows.
