  • IMO, yes. Docker (or at least OCI containers) aren’t going anywhere. Though one big warning to start with, as a sysadmin, you’re going to be absolutely aghast at the security practices that most docker tutorials suggest. Just know that it’s really not that hard to do things right (for the most part[1]).

    I personally suggest using rootless podman with docker-compose via the podman-system-service.

    Podman re-implements the docker cli using the system namespacing (etc.) features directly instead of through a daemon that runs as root. (You can run the docker daemon rootless, but it clearly wasn’t designed for it and it just creates way more headaches.) The Podman System Service re-implements the docker daemon’s UDS API which allows real Docker Compose to run without the docker-daemon.


    1. If anyone can tell me how to set SELinux labels such that both a container and a samba server can have access, I could fix my last remaining major headache. ↩︎











  • Bad Bot! You stripped out the only important part of the article:

    For the special Limited Edition version Valve has said:

    You need to be in the United States or Canada.
    Your account needs to be in good standing.
    Your account needs to have made a purchase on Steam before November 2023.
    Only one unit may be purchased per account.
    

    If their experiment with this extra Limited Edition model goes well, we may see others come in future.

    Additionally, their FAQ also notes for the normal 512GB and 1TB Steam Deck OLED models you will only be able to purchase “1 model of Steam Deck OLED per customer per week” but they plan to relax that when they’re confident they can meet demand.



  • Yep! I got one.

    Got it into my cart within seconds, didn’t even get through more than the cart screen before I started getting 502 errors. Eventually went out of stock. But, showed back in stock a few minutes later and I was able to get my order in. My order email shows 12:29 (10:29 PST).

    Already had a 512 Deck that I got in Feb 2022, but when you combine mainstream Linux gaming, OLED, and a translucent shell, apparently I have no self-control.

    Technically neither of these are donations, but:

    I subscribe to Firefox VPN, and don’t actually even use it, just because I want to support them in a way where money could possibly towards FF dev and not just the Mozilla foundation (which can’t fun Mozilla corp work AFAIK).

    I also have a supporter subscription at https://neocities.org because I support his ideals. Plus I get dirt cheap, easy to use static hosting out of the deal.

    Edit: Oh, I guess humble bundle purchases might count, I do at least slide the sliders to make sure the charities get most of the money.

    Edit 2: Oh and the Calyx Institute, that’s actually a proper donation to a registered nonprofit. With my $400/year donation I get a 4G hotspot with actually unlimited data. (They also have a $500/year for an unlimited 5G hotspot, I just haven’t felt the need to upgrade since they started offering that.) I also use CalyxOS, so it’s nice to feel like I’m supporting that.
